about

a track I wrote about all the janky promoters and bloggers out there over a gritty wu-tang inspired beat

lyrics

Intro - Jinx
Ayo Skully what’s good?
Yo it’s big Jinx
You know lately I’ve been looking around the game
And noticed everybody actin real goofy (uh-huh)
So why don’t you show these people what a real MC’s all about
And what we stay doin (ay-ay-ay-ay)

Chorus - Skulastic
I’m still spitting
Still cheffin in the kitchen
Still cooking up that beat to boil
Let it thicken
Still quick to never give in
To your shady politicin
Cuz I’ll get in where I fit in
Raw I’m still spitting

Verse - Skulastic
I’m still spittin but this time I do it on my own terms (uh-huh)
And I’m in it reppin with the lessons that I’ve learned
And the shady ass ish that I’ve come across (yeah)
Don’t wanna pay attention? It’s your effin loss (too bad)
All hail as I uncover the industry vail (uh-huh)
Where everyone’s got a promo package for sale
And every Joe Shmoe with half a brains wit
Wants you to pay them to post your ish (get outta here)
To people that don’t exist, it’s ludicrous
And on the surface not what it appears to be
Because it all boils down to the money (the money)
Just cuz I ain’t selling your tickets don’t mean I ain’t hungry (naw)
And to the dude living in the past now you don’t got jack
Except a washed up career with no pay back (ha ha ha yup)
That’s why you wanna prey on those coming up
It’s done enough, I’m out here calling your bluff (like what!)

Chorus X2
I’m still spitting
Still cheffin in the kitchen
Still cookin up that beat to boil
Let it thicken
Still quick to never give in
To your shady politicin
Cuz I’ll get in where I fit in
Raw I’m still spitting

Verse 2 -Skulastic
I’m still spittin but this time I don’t hesitate (uh-huh) to separate
The legit from the fake, pit from the snake (what else?)
The give from the take, (what else?) bite from the cake (what else?)
Don’t get confused with the picture that they paint (wooo)
Whether you do it for the hate or the love
Know the difference between putting in work and getting taken advantage of (chyea)
Straight up! We can all make a cut and a profit
Don’t confuse my grind for going out of pocket
It’s the shady criminal type I don’t like (uh-huh)
So you can keep your minimal fee’s cuz I ain’t paying for hype (naw)
I plan to plant a seed and watch it grow organically (wooo)
Not mechanically, while you out here selling a fallacy (yo)
But big ups to my industry folk that know what up (what up, yup)
And have been doing their ish sincere straight from the jump
I’m on some gritty Wu-type ish that’s how I was raised
Real name, no gimmicks that’s how the motto stays!


Chorus X2
I’m still spitting
Still cheffin in the kitchen
Still cookin up that beat to boil
Let it thicken
Still quick to never give in
To your shady politicin
Cuz I’ll get in where I fit in
Raw I’m still spitting
