text: Yo, listen up, I got a story to tell
  'Bout Integrating Conjugative Elements, oh well
  ICEs of the SXT/R391 family, they bring the heat
  Spreading antibiotic resistance genes, they can't be beat
  
  They promote diversity, they got the keys
  Recombination through homologous recombination, please
  RecA-independent, they do it on their own
  Bet and Exo, the recombination system's known
  
  When DNA gets damaged, they come alive
  ICE-encoded transcriptional regulators, they thrive
  Inducing expression, turning up the game
  Bet and Exo genes, they're in the polycistronic frame
  
  Many conserved ICE genes, not involved in the norm
  But they're part of the transcript, keeping it warm
  Transcribed high and mighty, but translation's regulated
  Strong mechanisms at play, they won't be underestimated
  
  Ssb, the single-stranded DNA binding pro
  Limits hybrid ICE formation, let it be known
  In silico analysis, I went deep in the game
  Bet and Exo, found in distant strains, not the same
  
  Bacterial species, they carry these genes
  Mobile genetic elements, causing scenes
  Phylogenetic analysis, showing their history
  Annealing proteins and exonucleases with different ancestry
  
  But they still work together, under pressure they thrive
  Maintaining functionality, they gotta survive
  So remember this rap, 'bout ICEs and their crew
  Spreading antibiotic resistance, that's what they do
