Am
Ice -T, after your tremendous
success
on your past albums,
some have said you've sold out
because of your use of rock and
roll in your music.
How do you reply to that?
G
Am
You see, a lot of people don't realize that, you know,
rock and roll is truly black music.

It was created by Chuck Berry,
Little Richard,

and black people like that
who started it off back in the
day, you know?
And as far as I'm concerned,

music is mu sic.
Em
I don't look at it as rock,

R &B, all that kind of stuff.
Em
Am
