Cruisin in my 5.0 lyrics

[Intro]
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do

[Verse]
Turn up the volume, crank up the ba** (Do, do-do)
Aww yeah, Vanilla Ice is in the place
I'm here to tell ya a little story 'bout my 5.0 (Do, do-do)
Just a-lettin' ya know, I'm in total control
Oh, yes, many people know that I got good taste (Do, do-do)
And if the cops try to chase in a high speed race
I just laugh, right in their face and say "Yo" (Do, do-do)
Don't even waste your time, see (Do, do-do)
'Cause I can red-line and leave you far behind
Because I'm out gettin' mine
And I'm sweatin' like steam and you can feel the flow (Do, do-do)
When I'm Rollin' in my 5.0

[Chorus]
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Awh yeah, here we go

[Verse 2]
It's not a Benz or a Jag, if a 5-0 with a rag (Do, do-do)
And I don't wanna brag, but I could never be stag
When I'm cruisin', to A-1-A (Do, do-do)
Zero to 60, 4 seconds don't play
It's not a joke, and you can see the smoke (Do, do-do)
I'm burnin' rubba
You heard me clear I didn't stutta
The V-I-P Posse, with my homeboy Staff (Do, do-do)
And you can giggle and chuckle, but I'll have the last
Laugh and take my money all the way to the bank (Do, do-do)
And the ones that buy my records are the ones I should thank
Because I'm sweatin' like steam and you can feel the flow
When I'm rollin, in my 5.0

[Chorus]
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
[Bridge]
Time keeps on slippin'
Time, time, time...

V-to the-A-N-I-double L-A, I-C-E (Vanilla Ice!)
Got it goin' on
V-to the-A-N-I-double L-A, I-C-E (Vanilla Ice!)
Got it goin' on
V-to the-A-N-I-double L-A, I-C-E (Vanilla Ice!)
Got it goin' on
V-to the-A-N-I-double L-A, I-C-E (Vanilla Ice!)
Got it goin' on

[Verse 3]
I view a fly cutie and I wanna converse
I shift to first, and then back to reverse
'Cause there's crazy fly ronis at NNB
They wanna flee with the I-C-E
I don't drive 55 when I'm in my ride, I just glide
My head leaned to the side
I cruise the A-1-A with a plan in mind
The V-I-P Posse not far behind
The honeys top and jump for my thousand watts
It fills the back seat as my system rocks
'Cause I'm sweatin like steam and you can feel the flow
When I'm rollin, in my 5.0
[Chorus]
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do
Rollin' in my 5.0 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tick-tock, do-do-do-do-do

"Rollin' in my 5.0" is a hip hop song written by American rapper Vanilla Ice. The song samples "Fly Like an Eagle" by the Steve Miller Band. The studio version of the song was only found on the single as it was originally intended to be featured on Mind Blowin.[citation needed] It is about Vanilla Ice's 5.0 Liter Foxbody Mustang (Ford Mustang (third generation)).

Lyrics[edit]

The name is a reference to a part in "Ice Ice Baby". The song is a rap ballad following Ice's adventures cruising around Miami with the V.I.P. Posse, looking for girls while competing in illegal street racing. Ice also thanks his fans for buying his last album. During the time the single and album was conceived, critics were stating that Ice was purposely sidestepping hard issues to grab the pop charts, but Ice responded that he's made the music the way he wanted to make it, stating "I just thought of a style that hasn't been played out".[1]

Release and music video[edit]

The studio version was only released as a single while the live version appeared on the album Extremely Live. SBK Records and Ultrax produced a music video for the song which featured heavy airplay during its original release in order to get people interested in the upcoming album.[citation needed] The music video featured Ice alongside the V.I.P. dancers performing in front of a green screen, and clips of Ice cruising in Miami and Dallas.

Reception[edit]

Rollin in My 5.0 was one of Ice's most popular songs in the early '90s following his mainstream success and To The Extreme. The song and music video were retired on most music channels and radios in 1992. Rollin' by Limp Bizkit pays tribute to this song, while Ice references it himself in his song Cruisin in My 6'4, from his 2005 album Platinum Underground. In 2009, Vanilla Ice joined Steve Miller Band on stage to perform Fly Like an Eagle.

The song is included on the 2008 EMI release The Best of Vanilla Ice.
