Glaciers of Ice Lyrics
[Skit: Ghostface Killah & Raekwon]
Yeah, yo, son you gotta take me to get them Clarks, man
Yo, check it out, yo
Yo, I got a new, yoo— niggas don’t even know, son
Yo, check the joint, boom
Yo, I got a crazy idea how to do Clarks now
Check it out, boom, this is how you freak ’em, boom
You go get— You go get the cream joints, right? Boom
Now, now, all you— all you dye is this shit right here, boom
And this, you know what I’m saying? Any color you want
But it’d be like, blue and cream
You know what I’m saying? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shit like that, niggas don’t even know
But son, word is bond, I’ma rock niggas this summer
On the real, know what I’m saying? (Yeah)
Yo, son, I had crazy visions
Check it out, check it out, check it out, boom
Just imagine if you buy, woo— check it out
Just imagine you bought navy blue, right?
A navy blue— A navy blue pair, right? Boom
Of this— Of this shit, know what I’m saying?
But dyed, get this dyed cream on top
Just imagine that color, like
But you got it dripping like it’s marble cake, like—
[Intro: Raekwon]
Know what I’m sayin’? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Check it, yo, yo, yo, yo
[Verse 1: Raekwon]
Stand on the block, Reebok, gun cocked
Avalanche rock get paid off mass murderous services
Chef break ’em, watch the alley cats bake ’em
Po-nine made ’em, drop grenades and take ’em
Quick-fast we reflect like the sky be blue, true
Wu-Tang saga continue
Rap Meyer Lansky, crash your fantasy
Gettin’ high fellas stand by, here’s the plan, see
Sit back collectin’ Tecs and checks and
Flowin’ slow in a Montero flexin’
Beats break heavily, word to INS, bless me
Throw me like three bags of sess
For real, from the Killah Hill, locked and caged in
We’re sworn representatives, we actin’ like made men
Strive for wives, nine lives and lies
Max sellin’, enjoy the highs, what?
[Chorus: Raekwon and Ghostface Killah]
The treasure is the glaciers of ice, original man
Possess the power to hold G’s, guns and grams
Baker, baker, pull off a Keystone caper
Point out the baddest bitch in the crowd and watch me scrape her
[Verse 2: Masta Killa]
Proceed with caution as you enter the symphony
Degrees of punishment increase intensely
Syndrome was caused by the deadly drums
But the battle was won by swords bein’ swung
Slicin’ with a vocal from the international vocalist
Your style is too local to fuck with this
Offensive antagonist
No assistance, movin’ motionless
Mysterious swiftness
Thoughts roll down the shaft of the brain
Mental gives the signal to the physical
Whirlwind kicks and hits from every angle
Violent temperaments left continents dented
Poison vintage wine rhymes I invented
Drunk by the drunken punches that punctures the heart
Vital sparks from the arteries stopped
[Chorus: Raekwon and Ghostface Killah]
The treasure is the glaciers of ice, original man
The treasure is the glaciers of ice, original man
Possess the power to hold G’s, guns and grams
[Verse 3: Ghostface Killah]
Straight up and down, it’s all good
Peace to them check-cashin’, chain-snatchin’, gun-flashin’
Niggas in the hoods bubblin’ goods
Analyze Starks, who be buying lion heads and Clarks
To all my house bitches, Starks’ll be home soon
I’m on tour, chill, catch me ’96 in June
But until then my ten-man team be safe
Chill on the whips for seven months, we can all get laced
Take a boat cruise, sip daiquiris and max
Swimmin’ pools, fly jewels, Wally shoes, blow stacks
Relax kids, black kids got a cravin’ for Cris
Until we get back, unpack, leave the Mac with your Wis’
But whatever, I gotta hit other sides of the Earth
Spread Wu-ness, rule this, civilization’s cursed
But luckily I’m born to be wild and then be out
Move crowds, collect twenty thou’ and then be out
Heavy convoys, my crew keep pretty boys paranoid
Built like a steroid pat down Dan Aykroyd
[Refrain: Ghostface Killah]
My seeds grow with his seeds, marry his seeds
That’s how we keep Wu-Tang money all up in the family
[Chorus: Raekwon and Ghostface Killah]
The treasure is the glaciers of ice
The treasure is the glaciers of ice
The treasure is the glaciers of ice, original man
Possess the power to hold G’s, guns and grams
Baker, baker, pull off a Keystone caper
Point out the baddest bitch in the house and watch me scrape her
[Refrain: Ghostface Killah]
My seeds grow with his seeds, marry his seeds
That’s how we keep Wu-Tang money all up in the family
[Outro: 60 Second Assassin & Raekwon]
Been a long time since the Father left in ’69
It’s been a long time since Wu-Tang had the chance to shine
It’s been a long time since we had diamonds, gold and drank Cristal wine
It’s been a long time, my people walking around here dumb, deaf, and blind
It’s been a long time since you had a Son of Man chant like golden wine
It’s been a long time, it’s been a long time
It’s been a long time
Yo, it’s been a long time
What’s on your mind?
Check it, respect heat holders
Respect heat holders
La Note Firebarzzz
What have artists said about the song?
Raekwon: The [opening skit] was something me and Ghost really wanted to stress, because around that time we was really buying Clarks left and right. We had bumped into a Chinese nigga who could dye shit. That was Ghost’s man. And we was just runnin’ back and forth to that nigga every time we wanted to go get some shoes. Back then, we was into shoes hard. We wanted to wear Clarks because the shits was comfortable and nobody in the game was fuckin’ with ’em. So you know, we’d be going to dye shit, and that’s where Ghost came up with the idea to slice ’em. I was the solid-color nigga; he was the striped nigga. We started coming up with different flavors. So he was letting niggas know, “I wanna get a pair of Clarks like, I’m a murder ’em!”
When I rhymed to “Glaciers” it wasn’t even to that beat. It was the drum part of that beat that I rhymed to. That day, when I went home, I didn’t like my rhyme. Everybody else kept stressing they liked my rhyme. But I didn’t. RZA was like, “Don’t worry about it. Go home, go get some rest, you tired, you buggin’.” I was like, Fuck that. When I come back tomorrow, I’m changing that shit.
When I came back, it was like the shit was a whole new different beat with the drums under it. He made Blue Raspberry hit certain notes. He’d have her scream, go crazy. That shit’s nothing but an AK festival with all the screaming. I took it like he had a shooting range with a bunch of Iraq niggas and just having a festival.
Blue Raspberry: One night, I was just at the studio and I was playing around on the microphone, singing Patti LaBelle’s “Over the Rainbow.” I was with no music, no nothing. I was sitting there, just singing. And when I got to the end like, [sings] “Why then, oh why c-a-a-n’t I?” RZA recorded it. And that’s where he put it, in “Glaciers of Ice.”
RZA: The Clarks skit is totally how Ghost is. He recorded the skit, I think we was in the car. I had a portable DAT. I made everybody get one, ’cause no telling where we gonna be at when an idea hits. Put it under your bed with your bitch, whatever.
Ghostface: We was in the car one day, driving around with the DAT machine with microphone. And we just started talking shit about how we’re gonna do it this summer with the Clarks. The dying was something I was doing already. I’m an inventor. Niggas can’t fuck with me when it comes to style. Only nigga that is right there with me is probably Slick Rick. Other than that, I’m boss.
