Intro - Jinx TK
Ayo Skulastic why don’t you tell the people what you’re trying to do?
Skulastic
Yeah
Okay…okay…okay…okay
Chorus
I’m trying to reintroduce myself
I’m trying to reintroduce myself
I’m trying to reintroduce myself
Verse
I’m trying to reintroduce myself to a passion I loved so deeply
I would do it weekly and daily and I thought it would pay me
Then I said maybe it’ll bring in loot?
To I’ll just do it as a side pursuit
To no wait, hold up, no exaggeration, comma
Do I still even like the genre?
The typical fakeness, delusional greatness
Most MC’s unadmittedly hate this
So why walk for miles if you hate the oasis?
Why toss smiles to those who are faceless?
Why do I got to sell a ticket to kick it?
Why does everyone and their moms got to be a critique?
I write rhymes not a door-to-door sales pitch
I speak my mind regardless if it burn a bridge
So no I would shove my pride down my throat
So you can make money off of what I promote
Add into the mix life, work, relationships
You haven’t written in a month which turns into six
Got yourself asking if the skill still exists?
Got yourself asking if the shoe really fits?
And then it’s there! All you need is a kick and a snare
And I swear to god there is something different in the air
You catch that momentum where you don’t care
So you say what you want, yet you’re fully aware
Like ahhh there it is! And when it hits then it fits
And everything clicks
But you’ll have your fair share of setbacks and drawing blanks
And go from a loss for words to writing thanks!
That’s the way it goes I guess
Actually I don’t guess, I’m certain yes
So respect your journey, I know I do mine
Maybe in due time I’ll set music to the side
Take out a loan have a place to call home
A lil Skully of my own and watch her get grown
But no matter where I go, no matter where I roam
You can get bet your bottom line I’ll pick up the microphone!
Chorus
I’d like to reintroduce myself
I’d like to reintroduce myself
I’d like to reintroduce myself
I’d like to reintroduce myself
Outro
One take one take
Mmmhmm
Skulastic…on the beat

Skulastic

Skulastic
Yeah
Caleb
Skulastic on the beat...aye now
Skulastic
Ayo Caleb?
Caleb
Uh-huh?
Skulastic
Tell em what we gotta do, let's go
Caleb - Chorus
Gotta respect the present, future and past
Opinions them a tell even if you don't ask
Looking at my path it happened so fast
I don't hate or hesitate I just kill em with a smash
Caleb & Skulastic - Bridge
Saying woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah (yeah yeah)
Saying woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah
Skulastic - Verse
(Alright yeah, Let's go Let's get em)
Whether you rep the boom-bap, mumble rap or underground
Stay true to yourself, stay true to your sound
Ain't nothing wrong with the trap or the classics
Here's a concept try and grasp it
The two can co-exist so put that in your bracket (let em know)
Next time you divide but can't hack it
That stigma? don't attach it
There's enough room for every genre every facet
Some people think their opinion is the bible
Like being elitist is their title
The way I see this it leaves them idle
An open mind? Yeah that's vital
Rep the old-school they call you a purist
Rep the new-school they call you a tourist
Lay their judgement down like a jurist
Shut it all out yeah I'm sure of this
Skulastic - Pre-Chorus
So hands up if you know you feel me
Hands up because I say it clearly
Hands up and you do it freely
Hands up saying that's the real me
Hands up if you know you feel me
Hands up because I say it clearly (hands up, hands up, hands up)
Hands up and you do it freely
Hands up saying that's the real me
(That's the real me)
Caleb - Chorus
Gotta respect the present, future and past (yo)
Opinions them a tell even if you don't ask (even if you don’t ask)
Looking at my path it happened so fast
I don't hate or hesitate I just kill em with a smash
Caleb & Skulastic - Bridge
Saying woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah (na na na na na na na ahh)
Saying woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah
(La la la la la la la aoh)
Skulastic
Yeah
Caleb
Future and the Past
Skulastic

Caleb
Yeeee ee yeah…yeeeeaaahhhoo

Smash
Skulastic - Pre-Chorus
So hands up if you know you feel me
Hands up because I say it clearly (hands up, hands up)
Hands up and you do it freely (hands up, hands up)
Hands up saying that's the real me (hands up, hands up)
Hands up if you know you feel me (hands up, hands up)
Hands up because I say it clearly (hands up, hands up)
Hands up and you do it freely (hands up, hands up)
Hands up saying that's the real me

Intro
Haha uh we all know her (mmhmm)
and what’s she got a lot of
Chorus
She’s got so many damn good qualities
Does her thang with a bang no apologies
To sum it all up from the jump
She’s that all in one like good smoke in your blunt
Bridge X2
She’s got so many damn good qualities
(Scratches) damn-damn-damn good qualities
Verse
A-yo she’s the type you can catch sporting sweats drinking Guinness (woo)
Or rocking that dress game like no ones business (ooh)
Kind of a tom-boy but feminine when need be (mmhmm)
Never needy loves space too believe me
Not the one to be like where you going, who you with?
Or get uptight with other girls in your clique
Naw and no unnecessary hard-to-get
Or fussing all night over some dumb argument
Naw she’s chill, mellow and man will make you laugh
But has her mind to the grind when it’s time to do that
She’s educated, classy but still throws it down
When you see her around let her wear the crown
Bridge X2
She’s got so many damn good qualities
(Scratches) damn-damn-damn good qualities
Chorus X2
She’s got so many damn good qualities
Does her thang with a bang no apologies
To sum it all up from the jump
She’s that all in one like good smoke in your blunt
Outro
Ha-ha yeah (scratches) damn-damn-damn good qualities
That’s what I’m talking about, yeah
Get it get it get it get it Girl
(Scratches) damn-damn-damn-damn good
Get your strut on
(Scratches) qualities, I see you
Woo uh ha-ha that’s where it’s at
Ha-ha-ha-ha
I see you
Oh no no no no no no no
Mmhmm

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

Intro
So ah never mind all that
This is the one, aye
Chorus
Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up
Skulastic on the cut so you know what up
Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up
So what you smokin, what you got in that blunt?
Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up
So what you drinkin, what you got in that cup? (fire it up)
Verse
Before it got tainted with trying to “make it”
You got my spirit and my soul elevated
Before the views, gimmicks and clicks
You were my main squeeze, my number one chic
When I set that to the side, you still my ride or die
Now I leave with two fingers in the sky
When all said and done it’s all said and done
I did me and I had some fun (fire it up)
Chorus
Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up
Skulastic on the cut so you know what up
Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up
So what you smokin, what you got in that blunt?
Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up
So what you drinkin, what you got in that cup (fire it up…fire it up)
Outro
Like ahhh there it is and when it hits
Then it fits and everything clicks
Ahhh there it is and when it hits
Then it fits and everything clicks
Ahhh there it is

DRB Day Day
Yeah yeah
Skulastic
Ha-ha ha-ha ha
Let’s go Let’s go
Verse
Ayo that’s real game right there, right there (yeah)
Knew we’d cross paths again, didn’t know when or where
That moments in my head on repeat
Knew you were throwing game when I see you across the street (oooh, ooh)
Damn what are the odds, making me pause
Break the facade, we both do wrong
Last I checked you bounced to Vic, I to Nanaimo
See you in Vancity, where did the time go?
You was close to me like my next of kin
So I approach like what’s good, how you been doin
Still chasing tail? Still racing that trail?
Still running around like your logic won’t fail?
Me? I just got out of a three-year needed a breather
Ain’t settling but I ain’t playing neither (Naw)
And even though we on different paths but the same page
The energy never left, it never changed
Chorus - DRB Day Day
What goes around comes around once in a while
Is this fantasy or is this real game
What’s up must come down
Dismount your clothes, you name, you know my plan
Because it’s a part of the game oooh oh oh
Because it’s a part of the game oooh oh oh
Verse 2
And so that’s real game right there, right there (ugh)
The connection lit off, hot like a flare
Can’t deny it works, from the jump we had our quarks
You and me together is something like July the 1st
Fireworks! And I could feel in my gut
Wasn’t gonna say what’s up till I called your bluff
Yup I got my guard up and I keep in tact
So when you game bet I game right back (m-hmm)
Never mind that, let’s pick up where we left off
The vibes right there so what you thought?
I’ll see you at the spot and when we roll through
It’s laughing, drinking beer, kicking it like we used to
No matter how close we get, it’s arms length
No matter what I forget, it’s the memories I take
Because even thought we on different paths but the same page
The energy will never leave, it’ll never change
Chorus
What goes around comes around once in a while
Is this fantasy or is this real game
What’s up must come down
Dismount your clothes, you name, you know my plan
Because it’s a part of the game oooh oh oh
Because it’s a part of the game oooh oh oh
Outro
DRB Day Day
Ohhh oh oh because it’s a part of the game
Ohhh oh oh
Skulastic
Because I am still feeling you

Yeah, yeah, yeah (uh-huh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (aye)
Chorus - Skulastic & Jinx TK
Every time I roll through
I hold it down like I’m supposed to
Every time I roll through
I got my people, got my whole crew
Every time I roll through
The homies say I got you
So if you wanna get down when I come around
Give my that when I approach you
Bridge X2 - Skulastic & Jinx TK
I be the highest, I be the flyest
I be the one calling out you phoney liars
(Huh-what)
Verse 1 - Skulastic
You thinking you making a statement? You basic!
Complacent, hit you with the truth but you can’t face it (naw)
Claim to be killing it and keeping it 100
Really your ish is just repetitive and redundant (ha-ha)
My aim ain’t the same (naw) it’s like a gun-hit (pow-pow)
One shot pointed at your brain, the other at your dumb wit
You the type to clown on a Rappers age, it’s getting played
Homie? Why don’t you holla at me in about a decade (ha ha ha)
Like you ain’t gonna get grey and old
What you gonna prove then, what you gonna hold? (huh?)
Nothing but some momentary shine off a commentary line
No ones gonna care about your bars in 20-years time
How’s that for news?, (huh) how’s that for dues? (ha-ha)
How’s that for someone who’s close to blowing a fuse (woo)
If I said it, I meant it, relentless!
(Calling out you phoney liars, ha, what)
Chorus - Skulastic & Jinx TK
Every time I roll through
I hold it down like I’m supposed to
Every time I roll through
I got my people, got my whole crew
Every time I roll through
The homies say I got you
So if you wanna get down when I come around
Give my that when I approach you
Bridge X2 - Skulastic & Jinx TK
I be the highest, I be the flyest
I be the one calling out you phoney liars
Second Bridge X2 - Jinx
I be the highest yo
I be the flyest yo
I be the one calling out you phoney liars yo
(Aye yo set it off!)
Verse 2 - Skulastic
I be the one to set it off no question (no question)
Keep your rap feelings to yourself or say hi to my henchmen
Bunch of yes men (ha, ha, ha) pay attention (pay attention),
It’s a sport not a display of affection (naw)
I set it off on the meter
I, 2, 3 and I’ll bring the heater
Like who is this? (huh?) who’s holding it down (who?)
You can’t claim the thrown if you don’t own the crown
Still you try to step and get overthrown
All of your rap clones need to grow a back bone
Walking around like this is something your own (naw)
You a bunch of rent-a-rappers out here on a loan
And now your times up, I broke that hour glass first
Get your rhymes up, I got that power house verse (yeah)
This wrath ain’t nothing you should doubt
So do the math or get knocked the f**k out
