[Verse: Ice Cube]
Ayo, yo, yo
Crack the top on the verse with no rehearsal
And here's a brand new St. Ides commercial
From the I to the C to the E
To the C to the U to the B to the E, and that's me
And I'm talking about the St
Ides malt liquor, it'll probably make you faint
And you'll paint the town red
After you take a 40 dog to the head
Me and the Lench Mob crew like to gang up
On a quart, 'cause it'll keep your yang up
And then it relax me
Everybody want some so I gotta get a taxi
So I won't get a DUI is the reason
Can't go to jail this holiday season

[Outro: Ice Cube & DJ Pooh]
All I want for Christmas is my St. Ides brew
All I want for Christmas is my St. Ides brew
All I want for Christmas is my St. Ides brew
Yo Pooh (What up?), I'm through
And put it in your egg nog

Ice Cube

Straight outta South Central Los Angeles, Ice Cube became one of the most respected rappers in hip-hop, helping to usher in the era of gangsta rap with N.W.A and as a solo artist. He has gone on to become a mogul in Hollywood but still remains true to the game that brought him his success.

Born O'Shea Jackson on June 15, 1969, Ice Cube got his name from his older brother, who threatened to put him in a freezer and pull him out when he was an ice cube. He began rapping in high school and started his rap career as a member of Stereo Crew, which released the single “She’s a Skag” through Epic Records in 1986, and C.I.A. with the 1987 track “My Posse.” Both groups featured producer Sir Jinx, the cousin of DJ/producer Dr. Dre.

Ice Cube’s big break came when he wrote the song “Boyz n the Hood” for Eazy-E, which led to the formation of N.W.A. as a group. After the release of the 1987 compilation N.W.A. and the Posse, the group released their classic debut Straight Outta Compton in 1988. A financial dispute caused Cube to leave the group in 1989 and start his successful solo career, starting with his 1990 platinum debut Amerikkka’s Most Wanted.
