(We got Skillz)
[Skillz:]
Aight, it's time to get in
Now where should I begin?
To run back the ratchetness to 2010
Profound Sounds, ya'll cut the track up
I'm a get it in, this the 2010 Rap Up!
Now Waka Flocka went hard and got shot in the paint
Kelis went a little harder, took Nas to the bank
All that bread on the monthly, son that's crazy
Did I mention the fact she only had one baby?
Then the quake hit Haiti and left us in awe
So pray for them and pray you never see the things they saw
We Are The World got made just to donate bucks
No "I" in we though, I just think we fucked that up
Sade came back and blessed the world with a gift
John Mayer went there and let the N-word slip
And Yung Berg got robbed by his peers
It's not '09 though, he just seems to do that every year
50 Cent tried to take out Ross
Look like it ain't work Fif, you might have to take that loss
Rozay, he had some heat
Had everybody from the 'burbs thinking they was Big Meech
Ross had a good year, that's fact
But him bagging Stacey Dash?
Mmm, I don't know 'bout that
Now I might sound thirsty
But Erykah Badu's video? Wooh, Lord have mercy
And I don't mean to sound foul
But if I could hit that, I'd dress up like a clown right now
So don't tempt me
And nobody had one
But we was rapping 'bout Beamer, Benz and Bentleys
Mel Gibson, Spazzed out for real
Idiots of the year? BP, for the oil spill
And Wayne went to jail for his gat
They said he had a music player, where he hide that at?
No matter where you looked, it was hard to miss Drake
But easy to miss 50 when he lost that weight
LeBron made a decision, that move was bold
But he had to take the heat once the Heat got cold
Hey Cleveland, I'll holler
'Bron's the reason a hot dog in Cleveland will cost ya 84 dollars
The iPhone prototype, that got jacked
Shout to rappers that was dumb enough to touch Kat Stacks
I know what you thinking kid
And no, I didn't touch her, but I know a lot of rappers that did
Kanye had Twitter going nuts
Man y'all funny, since when you cared about the World Cup?
Facebook, talk of the town
And don't lie, you know you was crying right along with Chris Brown
But in the new year, what I don't wanna see
Is Montana Fishburne or a movie in 3D
And Swizz wifed Alicia Keys
The volcano cloud had me and Jazzy Jeff stuck overseas
And rappers, they weren't exciting
But I'd hate to see your parents if you came out looking like 50 Tyson
And Antoine Dodson, that was that was just trife
With all that "Hide ya kids and hide ya wife"
Man, the industry sucks
Cause we started off laughing at both of them
But now they laughing at us
I'm just asking
How Lady Gaga can wear some raw meat?
But y'all call that fashion
And Fantasia, she went the suicide route
Oh, you gon kill yourself? Before your album come out?
Lil Wayne came home like jail was a fad
They sold us big iPhones and they called 'em iPad's
And we all got barraged
By the many faces and many voices of Nicki Minaj
Old girl got it in
And before the year was over she was already beefing with Kim
Lindsay Lohan, behind bars
I guess I wasn't supposed to notice that a dancer won Dancing With the Stars
The Census came tryna get the count right
And Paris Hilton, well she got caught with the white
And Petey Pablo need a reverend
Dawg, a gun? in an airport? on 9/11?
Obama still tryna do his thing
They caught T.I. with three pills and sent him back to the bing
Miley Cyrus had us at a loss for words
A lot of y'all got addicted to Angry Birds
The miners got freed live on TV
Y'all coulda gave 'em something, maybe a Double Down from KFC
YouTube views, that could get ya some bread
Ask that lil white boy with the real big head
Usher came back, and still claiming king
He signed Justin Bieber though, can you say cha-ching?
Willow whipped her hair, and hit the perfect score
Rather see hers than anybody on Jersey Shore
Republicans, ha, they still tripping
A Wikileak? nah, where I'm from man, we call that snitching
Raz B and Chris Brown they had some words
I got three for Raz B – You got served!
I hear a lot of Rap Ups getting made for real
Ehhh, he's all right, but he's not Skillz
With that being said, I send a R.I.P
To Guru, Gary Coleman and Miss Teena Marie
Apache, Eyedea, and Lena Horne the star
Huddy Combs, Hideo, and Cool DJ Lar
May they all rest in heaven
The Rap Up is wrapped up

[Intro]
It's your boy Skillz y'all
You know how we do it
And it's that time of the year
So I might as well get to it
Matter of fact
Year in review homes, I'm takin' it back
So would y'all mind an '05 recap? (I like that)
Aiight, well listen
[Verse]
It started off with Game, yeah his album was crack
And just like that, bam, the west coast was back
I mean, homes did his numbers plus he had a lot to say
Beefin' with Bleek and Buddens but he ain't want it with Jay
Speakin' of the west, the boy Houston tried to ride out
I bought your album dog, but you ain't have to gouge your eye out
Dabbled in paparazzi and got a quick check
I took that picture of Nelly and Ashanti that you saw on the net
And then rappers was gettin' knocked, lawyers was no option
When Kim took the stand, man we had just lost Cochran
Nas and Kelis both said "I do"
Eddie Murphy got divorced but he was married to a dude
Tigga left Rap City and we ain't know what to think
Irv turned himself in and took the Murder out the Inc.
Then Jamie got his Oscar, after that he was set
He smashed "Ray", but "Stealth"? Well that was for the check
Chappelle took fifty mil amd then he slid out the door
The hottest thing on TV, that be "The Bobby Brown Show"
Poor Bobby, dude still tryin' to be a star
But will it ever happen? Hmm... aww hell to the nah
Then cats started beefin', I ain't too sure why
Jada and 50, 50 and Joe, then Flip and T.I.
And I'm beefin' wit' Mickey D's man, y'all dead wrong
Talkin' 'bout payin' rappers to mention Big Macs in their song
We do rap from the heart, y'all better have some respect
Alright, Big Mac! Big Mac! Big Mac! Now where's my check?
"Ordinary People" was a hell of a song
And I ain't the only one who got sick of hearin' "Who is Mike Jones?!"
I'm like the next man, I got love for the south
We know your name Mike, I'm just wishin' you'd close your mouth
And then "I'm a--I'm a hustler," that joint was wicked
But soon as Cass got to poppin', man them boys came to get him
Mariah, she came back, she had our support
Mike Jackson, innocent, moonwalked right out of court
Nick Cannon and Christina, man they was havin' relations
And then 50 kicked Game out at the radio station
How can two men go so hard and diss each other?
Then at the press conference look like they 'bout to kiss each other?
And then Free and AJ quit and the world'll never know why
I miss her too AJ, but damn, did you have to cry?
Well if it don't make dollars then it don't make sense
And it's sad cuz BET ain't really been the same since
And this is not speculation y'all, I'm statin' the facts
So would y'all mind if I continue? (I like that)
Alright well listen
Cats gotta hustle and you just can't stop it
R. Kelly, well his hustle happened to be "Trapped in the Closet"
Dude went all out, he was like a full fledged actor
Had us hangin' on every word like chapter for chapter
But he never went to trial, how soon y'all forget
By the time his case come up we'll be on Chapter 106
Destiny's Child said the group thing had lost its flavor
And everybody read Superhead's book except Fantasia
DipSet started poppin' and brainwashed the kids
No matter where you went you couldn't escape Jeezy's ad libs
Yeah, the Snowman went to work
And once they found out what it meant, they banned the damn t-shirts
Ying Yang did their thing with The Whisper Song
They locked Kim up, but they let my man Sigel come home
And then Gwen Stefani came with "Hollaback Girl"
Looked like she had been in Harlem hangin' with black girls
T.O. was playin' games, but he kept on teasin' us
Turned his back on his team and messed their season up
Ma$e came back to rap but we had heard that before
And "Run's House", well that was damn near like "The Cosby Show"
We found out the real truth about Jay and Dame
Hov skated on dude and kept the Roc-A-Fella name
Then Dame's show debuted and the ratings was wack
"Ultimate Hustler", well umm, I don't know about that
Eminem went on tour and filled up all the seats
But when the "Curtain Call" came, he found it hard to sleep
It's better you than me Em, huh, cuz it couldn't be Skillz
I couldn't have that kind of bread and spend it on sleepin' pills
Be for real cuz Common's "BE" album was ill
I got sick of rappers smilin', showin' their grills
And Eve had a porno, but if you blinked it was gone
And then Suge got shot by dude was some pink pants on
Ciara and Bow Wow, they started datin' right
I mean he's three feet, there's no way that he's layin' the pipe
And then all rap music was comin' from the south
Tom Cruise got whipped so he jumped on the couch
But that was nothing, we was headed to a bigger arena
Because we all got burnt by this woman named Katrina
God's daughter sat in the water and came from around the back
She wasn't a cutie, but trust me, her eye was all that
And she ain't have a home but had a jones for guys that was black
She looked down at New Orleans and was like (I like that)
The news was so sad, it was like a modern day slaughter
And I ain't even gonna talk about what was floatin' in that water
See, it was sort of like watchin' a 9/11 sequel
Then Kanye said Bush didn't care about black people
We was all like "Yeah, what he's sayin' is true"
But I'm like 'ye, white people just started carin' about you!
I mean his album still sold, he ain't really blow his chance
But he set us all back with that damn "Gold Digger" dance
And then we lost Luther, the number one singer for soul
And then the league hit the players with a new dress code
LeBron was cool but other cars was mad at it
Cuz if Shaq get one suit made, there goes all the fabric
On VH1 Big Daddy Kane was the man
HU Homecoming somebody tried to shoot up Cam
Botched carjackin', nah fam, that was wrong
Them dudes was just tryin' to shoot theyself
Cuz they like "The Whistle Song"
I might start singin' homie, don't provoke me
T-Pain had a hit singin' karaoke
And then 50 looked crazy on the cover of GQ
He put his movie out, and yeah Usher did too
But keep your mind on your music cuz your actin' is through
So much for the movies, mmm I guess it do what it do
And Trina and Lil' Wayne, they both came out happy
But this a sad day when we dancin' to "Laffy Taffy"
And I ain't hatin' on the South cuz most of it is raw
"Oh I think they like me," nah I don't think I like none of y'all
So in that '06 we gon' have to make that fire
I send my respects out to Tookie and my man Richard Pryor
Jay-Z declared war but then he changed his plans
Cuz by the end of the show he was shakin' Nas's hand
Even Diddy let The L.O.X. come back and get their paper
After Kiss said he was gonna hit 'em with a refrigerator
I made an indie album, next one is ready to go
Me and all the DJs in the world shout out my man Justo
And the "Stop Snitchin" thing y'all, it ain't gon' work
I told y'all I saw a seven year old with a "Stop snitchin" shirt
And don't get me wrong homie cuz I ain't tryin' to be a preacher
But I'm like "Man who snitched on you? Your kindergarten teacher?"
If it make the news, Skillz gonna put it in the mix
Til then Happy New Year y'all, welcome to 2006
(Time keeps on slipping...slipping...slipping)
(GET DOWN)
Yeah...Ha
It's ya boy Skillz ya'll with the facts fa sho
Back to recap 2004
Now, things started out cool and plain
Till Janet whipped her boob at the Super Bowl game
I know the girl moves in cycles
But I never thought a nipple could make the whole world forget about Michael
And rap needed something fresh
In comes Mr. "Jesus Walks" Kanye West
We got him and Mel to thank Jesus Walks
Yeah, after "The Passion" Jesus walked to the bank
And every week, a different hurricane hit
If you ain't have a Blackberry then you prolly had a Sidekick
The gay governor came out and quit
And erybody and they mother had a Black Album remix
?'s was the kicks
And even white people started saying "I'm Rick James, Bitch"
American Idol was dumb
Was I the only one that got sick of seeing William Hung?
Fantasia won, don't get it confused
But with a mouth that huge, how could she lose?
Usher confessed again
If Chili wanted a comeback she shoulda made a record then
Paris Hilton's sex tape got watched
And once they got cold all she said was "That's hot"
Rap made a lot of CREAM
LL came back, looking like he was 16
Mase came back too, did ya'll peep it?
What's funny is he prolly made more money preaching
Shyne was supposed to be the truth
Yo Po, next time ya album comes out, you should come out too
Kobe had a little luck
But here's a fashion tip for the guys, no more button ups
White Tees I spare
Ain't they like 50 for a dollar? They ain't goin nowhere
Who had a Livestrong bracelet? I did
Sad part is you prolly don't even know where yours is
The U.S. B-Ball team got sliced
Roy Jones got his ass kicked twice
Rappers couldn't behave
Tony Yayo came out and went back in a couple of days
Wanna throw up what you ate?
Picture Bridget Nielson in a hot tub with Flavor Flav
Lil Flip came at TI
And then Shaq came at me but I ain't sure why
But I crushed the dude
The day he beats me that'll be the day he won't mumble in his interviews
Lets get serious for a second
Who thought Fherenhite 9/11 would change the election?
For a minute though, voting was fly
And everybody had a shirt that said "Vote or Die"
Seen on everybody from 50 to Jigga
Newsflash to Puff, shirts didn't work nigga
The election was scary
Don't front, don't you feel bad for John Kerry?
For a sec he was a star
Now he prolly in a bar wishing Oprah had given him a car
Dave Chappelle made a lot of cake
Mary Kate Olsen proved money can't buy you weight
Beyonce was on fire
Hottest show on TV? Hands down that would have to be The Wire
Can't believe Stringer got killed

Sumpthin go wrong in ya life, screw it start dancing
And designers were snoring
Couldn't do nothing with white tees so we started putting pictures on em
Red and Meth Show was put to rest
Dummy Move of the Year tho? Ron Artest
We all watching like, "Damn you believe this man,"
"Just put his hands up and swung on a fan?"
The nutshell, I'mma make it clear
Ron Artest spent 5 mill on half a cup of beer
Jealousy could be a sickness
Don't believe me? ask Jay-z, he could be a witness
Started out as The Best of Both Worlds
Ended with pepper spray and Kelly about to earl
Ayo Kells, that was whack fam
In some ways you remind me of an old black man
You know how they blame stuff on the white man?
He took it up a notch and blamed it on the white lightning man
Martha Stewart hit the pen
Britney got married, got divorced and got married again
And some rappers couldn't lose
They sold everything from booze to clothes to shoes
And some of ya'll don't think
I'm from the hood dogg, we don't buy energy drinks
So take that, rewind it back
Usher had the biggest hit with Lil Jon on the track
If not that, it was Joey Crack
Cuz even slow old people was trying to Lean Back
Matthew Knowles I know it hurt your heart
When Michelle fell on 106 and Park
Sad case, no doubt
How you fall on TV the day that ya album come out?
And here's a winner for sure
They say Young Buck tried to stab a boy at the Vibe Awards
Dre, he kept it gully Doc
Buck earned his spot, he should be all over The Detox
And ya'll prolly askin yaself
Who is this dude thats talkin bout everybody else?
And that question is the worst one
I'm Skillz homeboy, I'm the dude that made the first one
And Imma keep doing me

Yo, its the S-K-I to them Double-L-Z y'all
Recappin the 2 Double-0 3 y'all
R. Kelly saved face
He wrote so many hits that we forgot about his sex case
Everybody got a hit from the king
But I ain't get the mask and the whole Pied Piper thing
Till I found out who that really is
Ain't that the dude that left town with all the little kids?
Label of the year would have to be Shady
I watched Lil Jon turn into J.D
And speakin of attraction
Don't you get sick when you realize he hit Janet Jackson?
Da Band got a easy break
And had the whole world talkin bout not walkin for cheese cake
And here's the funny part
The blackout hit and you had to walk just to sit in the dark
Rappers kept fake pimpin'
And don't lie you know you like watchin Jessica Simpson
And ey'body kept eyes part flashin
Styles came home, Yayo went back in
The industry was silent
The dummy move of the year
that would be Kobe Bryant
Y'all think she lyin?
Thats the second time Kobe been on T.V. cryin
I'm like damn Kobe
In high school you was the man Kobe
What the hell happened to you?
Sean Paul stayed busy
They careers looked iffy
So Madonna decided to kiss Britney
That sent a shock thru the city
I wasn't shocked

Note to BET I don't wanna see Bone Crusher's butt crack
Ja Rule got madder, we watched the Farrakahn special
Irv watch the Viagra
What's next? we movin on
Ey'body forgot about the girl that made the uh-oh song
50 kept stuntin
Club songs of the year Joe Budden or Pharrell with Frontin
Roc The Mic was the tour
But didn't you feel Babs and Lil Kim performin at the BET awards?
If you agree wit this one then wave your hands
Whos tired of the throwbacks and the chickenhead dance?
Okay same here
Nelly and Chingy got robbed in the same year
Shocked? I'ma say it quite clurr
When your boys in Philly man
Have his bodyguard right thurr
Labels wasn't doin well
They put gold tickets in albums to boost the sales
And thats saddenin
Cuz if you got a gold ticket you prolly copped the CD from Bin Laden
As far as couples go they was on the hush strictly
Beyonce and Jay-Z, Vivica and 50
I told you Ben and Jen was shifty
Everybody make some noise if you went to see Gigli!
....
Alright, okay
As far as American Idol, the winner was Clay
Pregnancy on TV was Toni Braxton
Ashanti came back lookin like Janet Jackson
Beyonce hit the top
If you a female singer

Jay-Z was done
Thank God we got the ODB show on VH1

I can't believe that dudes was walkin around my hood in pink
Thank God I'm a southerner
Cuz you know its over once you got the Terminator for your governor
Oukast was wil'yin
Video of the year goes to Dre Ice Cold 3000
This year was kinda lame
It's funny, the league replaced Kobe with Lebron James
The Roy Jones fight was foul
And BET don't love nobody like B2K and Bow Wow
He barely went gold fa sho
Jermaine prolly in Atlanta like I told you so
Kanye sipped the siz-yurp
Zino found a tape wit Eminem usin the N wiz-ord
Em I doubt that you a racist kid
Thank God ya shit hit the fan the same week that Mike's did
And Mike be confused again
We don't know if he tuckin 'em in or stuffin 'em in
Question is will they nail him?
To me he don't look like LaToya, he look like Liz Taylor
Diddy ran the marathon well
Hottest show on TV hands down Dave Chappelle
These labels is sinkin
So when you say Rawkus, I say what the hell I was thinkin?
Hottest song In Da Club by 50
And since she got the thighs out I'm lookin at Missy
Jay tried to leave like Mike
RIP to Soulja Slim, Rerun, and Barry White
This year y'all did it fa sho
well excuse me, take a few minutes to mellow out
your boy skillz back on the mic to tell about
the year 2011, who else gonna spit it to you?
and since you keep asking, i guess (i'm gonna give it to you)
the year started off with predictions galore
with birds falling out the sky and fish washing ashore
great! what a way to start the race
then gucci mane gets an ice cream cone tatted on his face
thinking about a face tat? reconsider
ciara got played by rihanna on twitter
kim k proved she could hardly sing
and we got caught up in the madness of charlie sheen
(winning!)
if you didn't hear, rebecca black's best day of the week?
worst song of the year
and the quake left the coast of japan in ruins
y'all watched the royal wedding
like you actually knew 'em!
and the government was slacking and causing distractions
talking about shutting down. i knew that wasn't gonna happen!
i shout obama though in sinister fashion
cause we ended up toe-tagging the boy bin laden
but oprah tho? she went out like a pro
and kept it real classy for her very last show
got her own network, but that's moving kinda slow
S-K-I Double L-Z
Uh, C'mon
I remember that day
like yesterday
When I first saw baby girl
around the way
But the guy that she went can't be her man
'cause if she was my girl
I be holdin' her hand
So I just starred at her
and held my spot
Thinkin' damn this man don't know what he got
She was way pass hot and then flashed me a grin
So that means she wish she wasn't with him
So I, played it smooth and I winked at her ???ly
Is it me or she just wink back at me
Now I ain't sayin' that dude don't matter
but should I feel bad
'cause I really wanna have her
She was more than just a pretty face (oh well)
Maybe another time, another place
Until then you already know the deal
{Chorus}
But he don't, own me for real
(for real) For real
(for real) For reeal
(no he don't own me)
But he don't, own me for real
(for real) For real
(for real) For reeal
(he don't own me)
C'mon
This feels so strange
and I didn't even get your name
You make me wanna sing about ya
I mean you a queen so you need a king around ya
he probably thinkin'
be safe be sure
You ain't learned lil' mama what ya waitin' for
Maybe he holdin' steady
Or maybe he gone do it when he get ready
I ain't plottin'
for you to drop him
I'm just sayin' exercise ya options
Until then, you already know the deal
{Chorus}
But he don't, own me for real
(for real) For real
(for real) For reeal
(no he don't own me)
But he don't, own me for real
(for real) For real
(for real) For reeal
(he don't own me)
She said
{breakdown}
??? enough space
waitin' for you take his place
'cause ain't no rings on
my finger

That's just part of the game
Really I think it's cool to claim
Tell me what's ya name?
(Skillz)
Nice to meet you,
my name is Skillz
'Cause he don't own me
(for real) For real
(for real) For reeal
(no he don't own me)
(Chorus x4)
But he don't, own me for real
(for real) For real
(for real) For reeal
(he don't own me)
But he don't, own me for real
You know he don't owe me for real
(for real) For real

(Skillz)
(You know he don't own you for real) x8
For real

For real
For reeal
[Skillz]
Yup! Yup! Uhh
Now when the cork get popped, ain't no tellin'
If we ballin' or not, that's what they yellin'
I'ma keep 'em guessin' cause they nothin' but watchers
Show 'em how to move in a room full of impostors
Pass up pimp, if she blink then I got'cha
Pass on the shrimp~! Cause I'ma take the lobster
Proper, I won't tell you what it's worth
But it's not Sunday and I'm lookin' like church (WOO)
It's a celebration bitch
We on our celebration shit
Scorsese, crazy
I'ma show you how a celebration can GET
Uhh, so just do it from afar
Ye ain't gotta look up if you wanna see a star
I love y'all cause y'all don't change
All you need's a memory to see how far we came
[Chorus]
Yo, put your glasses up
Don't worry about what's in it
We still in the lead
Cause we never took our minds off winnin'
Big nights, big lights
You invited to see the sights with me
So tonight get right
I need y'all to celebrate life with me
Uh-huh, celebrate life with me
C'mon, celebrate life with me
Uh-huh, celebrate life with me
C'mon, celebrate life
[Skillz]
Uhh, well wishers don't blink you might miss it
Tonight's undoubtedly exquisite
Slack's got a bad crease, I'm with a bad piece
On my side, Jewish lawyer with the hairpiece
WOO~! Gotta get my team right
All I see is some green lights
The judge tryin' to jail me quick
But look at me now you cain't tell me SHIT!
Uhh, stand up and sit down
My mind make money so I'm livin' for the right now
A lot of cats fell to the game
And we all coulda been like dark-skinned Jermaine
So now I smile at my haters
And deep down I know that they appreciate it
It's what you call slow success
I'm takin' all bets, no regrets
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Uh-huh, celebrate life with me
C'mon, celebrate life with me
Uh-huh, celebrate life with me
[Skillz:]
Uhh, uhh

Yo, uhh, yeah
Yo trust me you don't want none of me man
You wanna discuss that shit with your dog like the Son of Sam
If I, run out of hustles then I'm runnin a scam
Spit some hot shit to you that'll be numbin your man (uh-huh)
I know what y'all niggaz thinkin now
"He was on TV with Missy, so how the fuck he underground?"
Uhh, I rep my state from coast to coast
Don't matter if I'm spittin with Nas or spittin with Mos
I'ma explain this shit to y'all geeks (talk to 'em)
I fuck with Timbaland cause Timbaland got beats!
And after "Ghostwriter" came out (uhh)
Y'all was bitchin and cryin, cause I ain't put the names out (uh-huh)
Y'all still thinkin I was frontin (mm-hmm)
And Puff cut a check, so I ain't have to say nothin (nah)
These rap cats is fakin
I'm jumpin in front of you and takin yours like a Secret Service agent
[Chorus x2: Skillz]
Y'all don't wanna do that (mm-mmm!)
Y'all don't wanna do that (uh-uhh!)
You don't really wanna do that (mm-mmm!)
Dog you don't wanna do that (uh-uhh!)
[Skillz:]
Yo, you know what irks me even more? (What?)
Male groupies when you out on tour (f'real)
Man I thought I was gon' flip
Duke passed the tape under the stall and I'm tryin to take a shit!
Man this drama gotta stop
Them the fools that you gotta watch (uh-huh)
Keep your tape, don't do me no favors
Cause when I tell you the truth, you gon' call me a hater (uh-huh)
And chicks I came up with (mm-hmm)
Be gettin mad cause they can't get hits (what?)
They be like, "That nigga Skillz ain't shit!"
Huh, but you just spent some bills to get Skillz's shit
Didn't you? "Mm-hmm" That's funny (mm-hmm)
These broads ain't stoppin my money (uh-uh!)
So if you manage to get close to me (uh-huh)
Think about what you gon' say boo before approachin me
Cause see
[Chorus]
[Skillz:]
Yo, uhh
I rip mics 'til they torn (uh-huh)
When I walk, you'd think there's a strobelite on .. (yeah)
In cyphers I be straight up attackin
Cats be like, "You ripped that shit nigga!"
Calm down, I was practicin!
Man y'all gotta be kiddin (uh-huh)
I got yo' CD, I did a lot of skippin
Like when I see you, you gon' do a lot of bitchin
While I'm on stage spittin with a lot of niggaz ad-libbin
Man y'all need to kill that
I'm from V-A nigga, where it's God damn real at
Tracks I peel at, and leak a few to the streets
So if you haters suckin yo' teeth then do it on beat, c'mon
(Tchk, tchk-tchk, tchk-tchk) I ain't new with the heat
I'm in the booth with the flu and still chewin the beat
I'm sonnin y'all like Father's Day; disrespect pop
and get popped like Marvin Gaye, cause see
[Chorus x2]
[Skillz:]
Uhh, uhh, Skillz
Uhh, uhh, V-A
(Man speaking)
What's in my backpack?
Right now in my backpack is a laptop,
Four records, one of them is Peter Piper
12 inch, three Sorato records, two needles,
Headphones, and four condoms.
(Female speaking)
My iPod, my wallet, my lipstick...
(Another female speaking)
One phone, the wristbands for the party,
Um, that's it
Break it down!
Big never had one but Kanye did,
But he misplaced his soon as he got rich.
Puff had one way before he 'came Diddy,
Used to see him all the time out in New York City.
Houston rocked his live when Arsenial,
Buckshot was the first one to put his in the video.
MC Search dropped the flow with his on his back
On the last episode of "Yo, MTV Raps!".
I'm on topic,
I rocked it when it wasn't that cool.
I'm goin home,
But it looked like I was goin to school.
And as far as accessories,
They second to none.
Every DJ in the world had his records in one.
When you in the club with one,
You might get stares.
Can tell a lot about a person by what's in theirs.
All kinds of lines, all kinds designs,
Nice shoes in yours,
But my dreams are in mine.
See the music I make has a certain sound,
It's not Pop so they like to call it Underground.
You can't separate music.
It's good or it's not,
Cause if Mariah was on this shit,
This shit would be Pop.
Now under me is beneath like can't get over.
When you think of Underground,
You probably think it's lower.
But ain't nothing low about this,
My dreams is high.
I believe that if you reach,
You can touch the sky.
So, get on your grind,
Let your mind get absorbed.
But your time into it,
And you can probably do it.
And they say that all I make is backpack music.
Well I say, hey, all they make is wack crap music.
New era and I'm about to school ya,
Yeah I got a backpack,
But don't let that fool ya.
Cause this one here been to all kinds of places.
I've been there, Skillz,
So I'm destined for greatness.
Yall do what you do,
Imma stay on my grind.
I ain't sure what's in yours,
But my dreams are in mine.
And the game ain't changed so recognize the signs.
I ain't sure what's in yours,
But my dreams are in mine.
Yall do what you do,
Imma stay on my grind.
I ain't sure what's in yours,
But my dreams are in mine.
Matter of fact,
Dre, run that back...
[Skillz]
Alright, listen up
I'ma put it in perspective
I'm the best since me
I got a right to be selective
What we have here is a candle so crass
It came out the cup with some shit from yo ass
strictly for those who are tryin to walk it with me
Ya'll thinkin y'all thugs cuz you bought some Dickies
I'm bein honest, throwin back to the hottest
I got LeBron callin his mom to check his closet (WHOA)
the rest can chill, you shoulda knew that
Skillz, uh-uh, you don't wanna do that
Testin me? That must be a fool that
Was thinkin too hard, you better loosen your doo-rag
When I'm gone, ons y'all for frontin
Dont have my vocals sings shit like we was cool or somethin
Its a fact, I think all rap is whack
and if you feel like I feel, then you ain't got no choice
but to.
[Chorus x2]
Take it Back, do do do do
Take it Back, do do do do
Take it Back, do do do do
Take it Back
[Skillz]
I ain't here to make friends, that ain't my job
If everybody ain't nice, that ain't my squad
and I ain't hypin 'em, I'm blowin right by them
this is like a grown man ridin a bike again
It's that easy, when I spit for the hood
I dont rap (nope), I explain shit real good
Ya'll say y'all thugs?
Well last time I seen ya, you were Steppin in the Name of Love
like "Left, right, bring it back"
Nigga, what part of the game was that?
if you see us, then its a known fact
that y'all is lil boy flow, this is grown man rap
you a playa? well move with a limp folk
that ain't a pimp cup, thats a god damn Big Gulp
I'm your new A&R;, Black
I'ma book some overtime, you write some more rhymes
and..
[Chorus x2]
Take it Back, do do do do
Take it Back, do do do do
Take it Back, do do do do
Take it Back
[Skillz]
When I charge the emcee, equals a bar a key
just me and the squad, no manners, no "pardon me"
so dont bother be trying to get father than me
if you ain't right now, you ain't workin harder than me
and I'm sure you'll flip, when this song come around
this shit so crunk it'd make Lil Jon clam down
hits out the trunk never shook
so by the time you get to the hook
you be whippin out your check book
lets look, or better yet, lets not
I talk shit to the sun, nigga I'm just that high
and in case y'all forgot, here's your warning B
cuz I snatch it like it rightfully belongs to be
and just..
[Chorus x4]
Take it Back do do do do
Take it Back do do do do
Take it Back do do do do
[Skillz]
Uh huh, yeah, uh, uh
Whoo! It's beautiful music baby
Huh, your boy Skillz, right
My man Com from the Chi
Kweli from the BK side
Hip Hop to the day that we die
So far so good with no endin in sight
Lookin back on all the places I done been with this mic
Let my teachers tell it, I was supposed to be a failure
Let me tell it, I was supposed to be on stage in Australia
Went from sittin on the curb with no gear to flaunt
To havin gifts with the words, I make 'em do what I want
And I'ma stay in the front, it's easy to the kid
Y'all always in the back like Jeezy adlibs
If you fail to prepare, you preparin to fail
And it's hard to see a heaven when you livin in hell
If you lookin at it different, you'll see a way out
How you gon' see money? You can't see your way off your couch
If opportunity comes, I'ma see what its bout
You can see it in my swag, I done figured it out
If you see doubt, I'm thinkin that y'all better re-route
Cause I'ma walk these dogs till Mike Vick get out
[Hook: Skillz]
I'm thinkin I could take over the game, maybe I could
They sayin I should change and maybe I should
Baby girl I'd be with you if I could
But I'm taking over the world and it's so far so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far so good!
[Common]
We've come so far, there's so far to go
Vision of a mission, it seem impossible
Precision of a Chicago street apostle flow
Allowin me to go to places only God would know
Travel the land, witnessin the battles of man
Goin up stream with paddle in hand
Young dreams to master a plan
So I could make enough to hit my uncle Steve if he asks for a grand
It's been a journey, as far as universal laws
I'm the attorney, had to learn me
Just to burn me up, holler to the world to turn me up
As the game change y'all, I let my words re-up
It was written on the walls that success is a process
No matter how hard I fall I know it is some progress
Notches of the ladder I climb, holdin a bottle of wine
So many paths to take, I'm followin mine
[Hook]
[Talib Kweli]
Yeah, Talib Kweli stay in the zone, I'm leavin 'em in a phase
By now, I'm kinda used to leavin 'em so amazed
With my man Com-bred and Skillz, they know the ways
Call up Virginia Slim baby, I've come a long way from
Hoppin the train with Rubix and, now I'm
Hoppin the plane, I'm seasoned like o'bay
Purer than cocaine that's whiter than Colgate
My product harder than narcotics, I handled the whole way
Damn it I'm so straight, why you worry how my pocket looks?
Y'all just sound like y'all got pocket books, stop and look
As long as I rock it, Brooklyn is represented right
This is where the sun meet the high rise, it ain't no end in sight
I'm gonna end it right here, I'ma end the nightmares
That you have cause you sleepin and you actin type
Scared, I wake up like years, say my prayer like I should
And I've come so far cause I'm so good

Son I spit like fo' bars
Then I got Kevin Liles on the 2-way offerin fo' cars
Skillz get the same cash
For the past two years I've been windin it up like Dame Dash
Ahead like no other, check "From Where???"
First nigga to pop his collar on the album cover
Far as battlin, y'all cats'll get hurt
We can pull out 2-ways, I'll bust yo' ass over your alert
I'm back, don't slip now; I ain't worried
'bout you ballin hard nigga, you on your fifth Loud
Trust me I'm gon' stay

[Chorus: singer (Skillz)]
S.K.I., L.L.Z.
V-A MC (do the damn thing do the damn thing)
S.K.I., L.L.Z.
V-A MC (do the damn thing do the damn thing)
[Skillz:]
So if, he the shit I'ma flush the guy
With a sick-ass flow that'll crush the guy
Hordes of metaphors that'll rush the guy
Type of shit make Bust say "AH-HA, AH-HAH!"
Ha! It's even worse at a show
Cause usually I got whole front row full of hoes
And they all be like ("louder") soundin like ("louder")
Lookin like ("c'mon") you know like ("uhh")
Yo, yeah it happens all the time
Usually they find out I'm cute, give a fuck about a rhyme
You got to trust me kid
When I hear y'all spit I don't do shit but miss the fuck outta Big
And that's real, tell me what's wrong
The reason that you can't get a deal cause you can't make songs
Yo as far as spittin flames
Get a Oscar nigga, actin like you don't know my name, tell 'em
[Chorus]
[Skillz:]
So let the poppers pop, and the breakers break
You can, bounce and rock, or you can roller skate
Yo, I want tall money, clown if I stack it
and it fall, half of it'll land outta town
Yo, I gotta get the crown
How you sayin that you in the game when you know you outta bounds
Try to put the heat to my jaw
I'ma have dogs poppin up like it's meat on the floor
And yo, I spit fly from the door
Walk backwards talkin shit like I'm guidin a tour
Ha, these rap niggaz sayin nothin
Fuckin with me nigga, you musta bumped your head or somethin
Y'all cats is real funny
E'rybody goin platinum, ain't nobody gettin platinum money
I came to drop fellas
Leave you with nothin under yo' ass like a acapella, c'mon
"And we'd like to thank our junior ushers for doing
such a wonderful job, look at 'em ... Pastor Skillz's
last sermon with us today. But it's not a sad time
it's a wonderful and joyous occassion. Pastor
Skillz's last sermon ... Pastor Skillz."
Before our presentation
I'd like to thank the members of the congregation
For being patient
This morning I got a lil' somethin' to say
How many of y'all woke up and didn't even feel like comin' down here?
Well, Brother James, it's a shame
I know you're sitting there, and all you're worried about is your football game
Well, me and the Lord, we worry about some things
Like you in the parking lot, smoking on your rock cocaine
(Say what?) Man, everybody know it
And if your mom can't read the announcements faster
I'ma hafta let her go
And Sister Alice, you late
'Cause don't think I don't see you stealin' out my collection plate
Y'all don't hear me ... 'cause if you did, you'd pray I told you
'Cause if you do it in the dark, it's gonna come to the day
And Brother Todd, I know that times is hard
Ask the church for help, you ain't gotta steal money from your job
You can't cheat, 'cause the man up above
ain't no sense stealing if ya' gonna blow it at strip clubs
An' Sister Keisha, don't look in his direction
He wouldn't be at your strip club if his wife gave him some affection
The choir need to sing a song for y'all
This morning I need to know what is wrong with y'all
Satan's swinging his swords again
Sister Kim keyed up the door to my Benz
Now the teacher said I got to reach you
Somebody said "Pastor, teach" so I'm preach
That's what I came to do
And Lord knows, Sister Williams, we all need to pray for you
You can't do this, I knew you was ghetto
If backsliding was a sport, you'd have a gold medal
The dinners you sold last week was cold
And the fish you fried was two weeks old
I know you did it, so go on and admit it
Half the choir ain't here, 'cause they home sick
Y'all my people, but I know ya' well
We in some troubling times, it ain't hard to tell
But some a' y'all are goin' to hell
If you keep leaving Bible study to watch Dave Chappelle
Lord knows I love ya' brothers deep
But don't sit in the pew if you been smokin' weed
I know you're saying "Pastor, "
But Lord, I'ma tell it like it GI is
And Sister Gladys, ya' need to repent
'Cause when I call your house, I hear 50 Cent
This house is in a mess
We got some problems in here that we need to address
And the ushers I shouldn't have to mention
You so busy dancing to Usher to pay attention
And Brother Wayne, you can't take the sound
You bootleggin' services and sellin' 'em downtown
What am I gonna do?
I can lead you to the door, I can't take you through
Now bear with me, it's almost over
I gotta speak on it, y'all, and get the dirt off my shoulder
I'm a city [?], so you gotta get it clear
Deacon Smith's been having affair for twenty-two years
Some a' y'all is doin' wrong
But I'm gonna go on, I told ya' I wasn't gonna hold ya' long
Now I ain't got much more to say

[Skillz:]
This goes out to my brother E
Damn, uhh
We had it all baby, y'know?
Uhh... yo
Imagine you and your big brother, in a Southern town
All it took to lock down was some grams and a fo'-pound
Millions, we both tryin to see that much
So we found some young bucks that wanna be like us
Put 'em on to the game, showed 'em how to do it
All they wanted was sneakers, me and my brother knew it
After six months of this, we done moved ahead
Now I sleep with 300 G's under my bed
Imagine, livin life how you 'sposed to live
Gave my brother a buck fifty cause I'm 'sposed to give
But he wanted all of it like Sosa did
That put tears in my eyes, we was close as kids
Imagine, puttin your toast to your brother's ribs
I had to walk past his casket and close the lid
Imagine the guilt I felt, when I hid my gun
I'm the reason that my mom lost her oldest son, damn
(POP!)
[Chorus: Skillz]
Can you (imagine) how my nephew would look at me
If he knew I was the reason him and his daddy won't leave (together)
And now I feel alone
Cause it's my fault that my brother is gone and it's (forever)
And that's what happens
When money takes you and it leaves you (imagine)
[Skillz:]
Imagine, a year passin, I'm holdin my ground
Plus I got a new homey, he holdin me down
And my guilt won't let me go near my mother
Cats still say, "I'm sorry to hear 'bout your brother"
Man the lust for this dough is startin to run me
So I started a record company to clean my money
And my young boys think that they the only ones needin
They look at me, like I'm the only one eatin
They used to call me king, now they call me whack
And it's a drought, and papi ain't callin me back
This the hustler's test, and I made my vow
Next time I'm broke, broke'll be in style
So I got on my feet after takin a hit
The Jake made my homey rich after they made him a snitch
When they rushed my crib, I thought I was done
Cause they ain't found my coke, they found my gun - damn
[DOOR KICKED IN] ("Freeze! Get down!")
[Chorus: Skillz]
Can you (imagine) the time you gon' see
You and that money you made, y'all'll never be (together)
And your mom knows the facts
You took her firstborn and she got to live with that (forever)
And that's what happens
When life takes you and it leaves you (imagine)
[Skillz:]
Uhh, yo
Imagine, watchin your mom cry several tears
And I'm cryin over 7 years, can you (imagine)
How the snitch livin his life
And I'm in a 6 by 6 tonight, can you (imagine)
Why this dude grillin you
He a killer and he probably wanna kill you too
I think back to how the hustle game spoiled my life
Now I'm in somebody's kitchen, boilin rice
I started writin rhymes cause my time was free
Then I finally got paroled in ninety-three
So I moved to V-A after doin my bid
And half these rappers is rappin 'bout what I lived
Entertainment? It's just that for real
And a lot of cats lie after gettin a deal
Most of 'em tell lies and make it sound true
I oughta know, I just told one to you
õshort pauseú
[Chorus: Skillz]
Can you (imagine) if you had some proof
That your favorite rapper wasn't tellin the truth (together)
Him and his label decide
They gon' base his career on lies (forever)
And that's what happens
When money takes you and it leaves you (imagine)
[Skillz:]
Think about that, when you buy your next CD and just (imagine)
What I could do with a pad and a pen
