Track 13 - ICP - Ol' Evil Eye (Riddlebox)

track 13 ol evil eye

from icp s riddlebox joker card


"start tha movie."

"i loved the old man. he had never wronged me. he had never given me
Insult. for his gold i had no desire. i think it was his eye. yes, it was this. one
Of his eyes resembled that of a vulture. a pale, blue eye with a film over it.
Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold. and so, by degrees, very gradually, i made up my mind to take the life of the old man and thus rid myself of the eye forever."

So i'm headed door to door
With my grandmother's cookie jar.
I'm sellin' cookies, 12 for a dollar.
I ring the doorbell, nobody wants any.
I resort to goin' cheaper - 2 for a penny.
Anybody, everybody, they hate me.
I can tell when they spit and degrade me.
There's only one house left, the last on the block.
Old man willie on the hilltop.
I ring the doorbel, the door creeps open.
And there it was starin' and scopin'.
The man's left eye, red, big, and drippin'
I was trippin'. "ahh, seeya!"
I ran home. i couldn't stop thinking
About his eyeball winking and blinking.
And it looked not a damn thing like the other. ugh!
Shoulda wore a patch on the motherfucker.
It hypnotized me, mesmorized me.
Traumatized, paralyzed, terrorized me.
Creepers, where'd you get that ball?
And tell me how it even fits in your skull.

(prechorus):
I want a big long knife to stick it in.
I wanna lift up the eyelid and kick it in.
He's gotta die. i want his eye buried in my backyard.
It ain't hard, i'm killin' old evil eye!
(end prechorus)

(chorus):
Evil eye...
Oh-oh-eye (the bitch gon' die! die-die-die-die-die-die-die)
Evil eye...
Oh-oh
(end chorus)

"now this is the point. you fancy me mad. madmen know nothing. but you
Should've seen me. you should have seen how wisely i proceeded with
Caution with
What
Foresight, with what patience i went to work. i was never kinder to the
Old man
Than
During the whole week before i killed him."

A day gone pass since i heard about j.o.
Met up in this sleigh, cuz i don't fuckin' play.
Anyway, i gotta do him in. got a rusty revolver
Put the silver bullets in.
I'm plannin' on playin' one right to his nugget.
Down my drawers with the bucket.
It's time to go, fuck it.
I stuck it up... to his neck when he came to the door.
I really didn't know what i was in for.
First the cold man stared, no a gaze, no a stare.
Kinda like there was no one there.
How weird, my body froze with the blink of his eye.
Evil eye, sendin' chills up my spine.
What to do? what to do? i gotta try to break.
I gotta try to make.. my way to the gate.
Wait. i can't move, i'm stuck to the ground.
W-what the fuck was that? i think i heard a sound,
Turned around, there it was, starin' at my face.
This little old man's eye's a make me a mental case.
That's when i felt the pain deep inside,
Deep inside, now his eye's open wide.

(prechorus)
(chorus)

"that night it ceased. the old man was dead. i placed my hands on the
Heart and there for many minutes there was no pulsation. he was stone dead. his eye
Will trouble me no longer. his eye will trouble me no longer."

(chorus)
(chorus)
(chorus)

@jjcollio Yes this song is based on the short story The Tell Tale Heart. A Man kills an old dude with a fucked up eye and buries the body under the floor boards of his house. When some detectives come around the guilt is getting to him and he thinks he can hear the heart beat from under the floor causing him to break down and confess before the investigators leave.

i dont think ICP will ever be able to make an album that tops Riddle Box...they could make more musically impressive albums but i just dont think theyll ever be able to top this sound...it definitely was them in their prime IMO...Riddlebox is a fuckin work of art from start to finish and anyone who doesnt agree doesnt recognize true artistic creativity...this song, Cemetary Girl, Headless Boogie, 12, Killing Fields, I'm Coming Home, Chicken Huntin...so many classics

[EvanesEmperor]

This is their best one. Hands down.

[FxckBxtchCxnt]

Awwwh.... I miss the days when ICP was wicked and good... Not sellout mainstream ball lickers. :(

[21MegaYoshi]

The beat is fucking sick during the chorus.

[iamsomerandomdude]

@uw87is agreed, shangrila and hells pit were decent, but the jeckel brothers were the last piece of platinum

[uw87is]

@7thfloorwind yea bro i totally agree, jeckel brothers was the last great album by ICP.

[subzero87333]

@MrKing402 true true. But u gota admit the great milenko album was amazeing. halls of illusions, boogie woogie woo, pass em by, how many times, hokus pokus, piggy pie and many others, all classics its what formed icp and what helped shape this album makeing it a classic and my favorite album.

[Boognish89]

@BIueCameI I get what you're sayin man, I know some girls that are total whores, but with females it seems like they're either really slutty or just stick with one guy and are up his ass constantly.

[ChiTownStoner420]

Shaggy has got the best verse. this whole song is fucking insane

Much Clown Love............Hey Vato
