Lyrics

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out

I got a story to tell

Now everybody wants to have fame

But you pay the price if you're not playin' it by the game

'Cause this game is made up of a bunch of crazy rules

And things get tough if you're not playin' it by the rules

Now the Ice is kickin' it, kickin' it, kickin' it like a champ

But don't try to play me like some wet food stamp

They said it was a fluke 'cause I used a phat loop

But here's the scoop, troop, the Ice is back to make it hoop

And since it's ninety-four and now I'm back on the scene

Escapin' from the hell, I'm takin' it to the extreme

It's kinda strange 'cause the people say you've changed

But I never change, even though I got fame

Yo, I'm still the same, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out

I got a story to tell

Fame, I'm still the same person, I never ever switch

And even if I'm rich, but now it's like an itch

'Cause I love the music, they say I do it for the money

And it's funny, clockin' all the honeys

The ones that used to diss, now they wanna kiss

Lookin' at what my troop's got, now

They're gettin' their boots knocked

Damn, it's a shame, do I love 'em? No, I don't, G

A couple of years ago they didn't want me

Now I got these so-called friends

That say I'm with the Ice 'cause they know I'm makin' ends

But my real friends have been friends through the fame

And since I have fame, ain't a damn thing changed

Yo, I'm still the same, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out

I got a story to tell

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out

I got a story to tell

Now let me tell ya 'bout the pros and the cons

Fame only lasts if you keep droppin' them bombs

Now in the public eye, ya know I'm havin' to admit it

You become a target for a whole lotta critics

Reporters stickin' to ya like white on rice

Now everywhere I go they wanna interview the Ice

Before every show it's like I'm steadily surrounded

By all of my fans and the media's houndin'

This is not a diss 'cause see I love all my fans

But the media doesn't really understand

They take what you say, twist it around into lies

Then the next thing ya know a bunch of rumors start to fly

Then they try to make you out to be a straight liar

And next you'll be the front page on the National Enquirer

Oh, what a price to pay to play this crazy game

You better be prepared if you ever reach fame

Yo, I'm still the same, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out, uh

Check it out, check, check it out
