Mayday
05. Krizz Kaliko Lyrics

Mayday, mayday, mayday!
I'm in desperate need of help!

My name is Krizz Kaliko
I am Krizz Kaliko, introducing myself

I'm totally alone out here
I feel isolated and unsupported in the music industry

Well,if there's maybe just one of you left
If there is even just one person who can help me

If anybodies out there,anybody..please...help!
If anyone is listening, please provide assistance!

This music game here is in a state of emergency
The music industry is in a crisis

All about currency, wackness reoccurring with urgency
It's all about money, and there is an urgent need to address the lack of skill in the industry

Can't take it any more
I can't tolerate this situation any longer

Getting too old, mouth piece just too cold
I am getting older, but my skills as a rapper are still sharp

It's getting me swole
It's frustrating and making me angry

I need to occupy hip-hop like it's my concubine
I want to dominate the hip-hop industry and have control over it

'Cause I'm the nigga said that I gotta be the breaker,one
I am confident and believe I am the one who will break the mold

Tell Rittz to pull the trigger, all them niggas is done
Ask Rittz to take action and eliminate all competition

If I miss then all the hits you can name under the sun
Even if I fail, I have produced many successful songs

It's a trick and a list on how music is done
The music industry has become more about following formulas and tricks

Tell man don't light me up
Advise others not to provoke or challenge me

Tell the weed people light me up
Ask marijuana enthusiasts to support and promote my music

CD don't hype me up
Don't rely solely on CDs to generate hype for me

YouTube fans like me up
Request support from fans on YouTube

Too loose man, tighten up
I need to tighten up my craft and become more focused

Don't need to a freshman, I'm fresh no yes men
I don't need validation from others, I am original and don't rely on yes men

Rap 'til I can't breathe, let me catch my breath and
I will continue rapping until I physically can't anymore

Industry needs epinephrine
The music industry needs a boost of energy and vitality

Pastor what you see better get the reverend
The situation is so dire, even a pastor should call for a religious leader's intervention

Rap,Overseas but I rep midwestern
I am a rapper who represents the Midwest even when I am performing internationally

Krizz the bees knees so I guess the best, and
I am highly talented and considered one of the best in the industry

Me I can't see with any depth perception
I am unable to see the true nature of things

MCs believe in me for question
Other rappers have faith in my abilities and trust my judgment

It's for the S.O.S. to you
This song is a cry for help to the listener

And oh,so 'F' you too when I won't step to you again
I will no longer engage with those who have done me wrong, including the listener

And I'mma hold my breath for you to stop these checks
I will wait until you stop receiving financial rewards

Commin' in and these train wreck so many men
I am frustrated by the influx of untalented people in the industry

Try to save it try to stay connected resurrected
I am trying to salvage the music industry by staying relevant and bringing new life to it

And they're expecting me to win
There are high expectations for me to succeed

One of hip-hop's lost a few legends
The hip-hop genre has lost some important and influential figures

I'm holding a grudge until the end
I am holding onto my feelings of resentment indefinitely

Hollering Mayday
Expressing a desperate need for help

Anybody can you hear me?
Asking if anyone is listening

Yeah,me
Confirming that the singer is the one calling for help

Why do they mistreat us save us
Questioning why artists are mistreated and calling for someone to save them

Aimless bastards leave us shameless
Describing the industry as filled with directionless people who bring shame upon artists

By the time we're rich and famous
Artists are often abandoned or forgotten once they become successful

All our art will be forsaken
The true artistry and creativity of musicians will be neglected

While you're waiting sides are taken
During this wait, people will choose sides and alliances

Nonsense they just keep on makin'
The industry continues to produce nonsensical music

While our last breath we are taken
Even in our final moments, the industry continues to exploit us

We don't want our heartbeats just to stop...stop
Artists don't want to lose their passion and creativity

They know me on the internet
I have gained recognition and visibility online

They don't wanna see me on a magazine cover
Despite my online popularity, mainstream media doesn't acknowledge me

Half of these rap barrels never seen struggle
Many rappers don't have the experience of overcoming adversity

I've been fighting all my life but never Lebanese brother
Although I have faced challenges, my struggles don't compare to someone who has experienced war

Now I finally made it, everyone wanna see us struggle
Now that I am successful, people want to see me fail

Be subtle to these indusrties suckas,please
I advise others to be discreet and cautious with industry people who are deceitful

F**k 'em i can barely afford to eat supper
I am struggling financially and can barely afford basic necessities

Now you tellin me to word it out,but then
Now you want me to express my frustrations, but then

And over years we huslte
And over the years we have been hustling and working hard

Makin music,and then people wanna eat a piece of it
Once we create music, others want to profit from it

F**k you in the stab back,and ya wack rap
You betray us and produce mediocre music

You suck,you suck,he sucks too
You and other artists are untalented and disappointing

They rap,he's wack,she rap,freeze that
Everybody is rapping, but most of them lack skill

Skillin them,but you an MC,whats new
I am more skillful than other rappers, but being an MC is nothing new

Just treat me,you should go to college
Instead of pursuing rap, you should go to college

You could join the army,you could be a barber
There are alternative career paths you can take, like joining the army or becoming a barber

You can be anything you wanna be,but not a rap artist
You are encouraged to pursue any career except for being a rap artist

Your lyrics ain't cuttin it,you suckas just performers
Your lyrics are lacking substance, and you are merely putting on a show

Sorry to inform ya but you mad and wanna battle me
I regret to inform you that you are angry and want to challenge me

When I'm Mr. on one try to keep it calm,but
Even when I am calm, trouble seems to find me

Every time I log on,the world starts
Whenever I engage with the online world, chaos ensues

Seein but you never see the side of me we armored?
You see me, but you don't understand the protective armor I have built

The dramas as worse as the rappers are
The industry's drama is just as bad as the quality of some rappers

Fans say they try to be spectacular
Fans expect rappers to be extraordinary and exceptional

The next minute we talkin bout how wack you are
But then fans quickly criticize and talk about how untalented you are

Its no wonder why I always wanna smack someone
Considering the industry's behavior, it's not surprising that I feel violent towards someone

I need a ratchet,one,abracadabra,gone
I need a weapon to make someone disappear

Your sh*t is passed beyond bad it scratches crome
Your music is not just bad, it is unbearable and aggravating

You need to practice some,i hear ya rap and yawn
You need to work on your skills, as your rapping bores me

That bullsh*t I heard you spit, you'll never have this one
The nonsense you rap will never compare to my skill and success

Bullsh*t music f**ked this game up
Bad music has ruined the music industry

You should be embarassed,you should be ashamed of
You should feel ashamed and embarrassed by what you have contributed

Ever trying to rap I think it's time to change up
You should consider pursuing a different career, as your rap career is not working out

Go to Krizz Kaliko as it goes,hollerin
Turn to Krizz Kaliko for help and support

Horror flick, you should start with the sequel
Your life is like a horror movie, and it's time for a new chapter

Peephole, what I saw to deceive you
I saw through your lies and deception

I’m the doctor that walks in and greets you
I am metaphorically the doctor who enters and welcomes you

And serve you a smile like I’m all for the people
I present a friendly smile, pretending to care about the audience

Meanwhile I’m the wrong one to speak to
In reality, I am not the person to seek advice or assistance from

To hell with a park all my dogs will delete you
I have a group of loyal friends who will defend me and eliminate any threats

The bars are illegal and all this is lethal
My lyrics are powerful and dangerous

It’s Conrad Murray when he walk in and greet you
My presence is comparable to Conrad Murray, a controversial figure in the Michael Jackson case

I sharpen the needles, let it rewind
I perfect my rhymes and deliver them with precision

Badder flow, that’ll mess up your mind
I have a superior flow that will confuse and astound you

Got a Kaliko, got a Tech and a N9ne
I have the support of artists like Kaliko, Tech N9ne, and N9ne

And more weapons then everyone on this record combined
I have more skills and resources than all the other artists on this record

And that’s strange
This fact is surprising and unexpected

Cause I seem so nice, I seen your wife
I appear friendly, but I have engaged with your partner

No better yet again, I seen her twice
In fact, I have been with your partner on two occasions

She needed flights, I got ‘em when I seen the price
When she needed to travel, I provided the flights at a reasonable cost

And let her roll with me like she had some green to dice
I allowed her to accompany me as if she had something valuable to offer

I know it’s been a while since I sold at platinum too
It has been a long time since I achieved platinum sales

A million and a million and-a-half of you
I have a large fan base, with millions of people supporting me

You tell me I’m the rapper you was rappin’ to
You claim that I am the artist you used to listen to

I have you lookin’ like a mummy when they rappin’ you
I have defeated and silenced you, leaving you speechless

Forget about my face with a mask of you
You should forget about me, as I have taken on your identity

You better leave space like a NASA crew
You should give me enough space, just like a NASA crew requires

I didn’t have dollars, now I have a few
I used to be broke, but now I have some money

And now they look at my garage and tell me that’s a zoo
People are amazed by the variety of expensive vehicles in my garage

Is that a Jaguar?
Is that a luxury car brand called Jaguar?

Of course it is, I purchased it because the corpse’ll fit
Yes, it is a Jaguar, and I bought it because it suits my wealthy image

And this trunk is bigger than the Porsche’s is
The trunk of my car is larger than that of a Porsche

They say I changed, well I call it metamorphosis
People accuse me of changing, but I see it as personal growth

Fast lane, get the hell up outta my lane
Get out of my way, I belong in the fast lane

Your brain will never be as quick as my brain
You can never match the speed and intellect of my thoughts

And the people will only kill ya for your time frame
People only care about you for a brief period of time

But I got a bullet that’ll get within your mind frame
I have a powerful argument that will make you reconsider your mindset

Hollering Mayday
Calling for help
