Skillz - '05 Rap Up lyrics
[Skillz - '05 Rap Up lyrics]
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
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 TI
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 it's 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
TO 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 LOX 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 yeah!
You know how we do it
