Dollaz & Sense
Blakroc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zip, Zag, Zig, Zing, uh
Zoom, Zag, Zig, uh
Uh, yeah, this is very scary
This is, this is, this is not the very ordinary
Like Tony Starks man we throw your ass in the Cobra Clutch
Your man watch as your whole head opens up
We throw darts in the air that float like a frisbee
My neck is frostbitten, glass wouldn't teach me
Love my wares but y'all thug niggas miss me
I'm bionic, my chronic draw the Digi-juice
My fist stacks is bruce you better call the jukes
No excuse the black man must stand up
Time to make the Wu sign throw both of y'all hands up
You see me in a Maserati GranTurismo
Up in the club my beat got more sub than Quizno
Mama that's the business I'ma a get this
Give me ten digits
Fuck that before I quit this
Walk in the prise of a purse
If it don't make it dollas, nigga, then it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas, then it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas, then it don't make sense
No, no, it don't make sense
Shake it out one time
March in here everywhere
I see dead people when I spit with my sixth sense
My sixteens are sick sentences that make sense
Which means they inflict pain that's intense
I got brains backstage I been rhymin' sick since
Sing a song of sixpence
Pockets full of rhyme
The road is I'm known 'til I die
Torches, switchblades, and pockmarked sky
My shades is black my boots is fly
Rock 'n' roll I lose control
Fuck the white ones, The Black Keys got so much soul
While you come off of the bench
If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
Dog, If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
Dog, It needs to make sense
If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
No, no, it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas then it don't make sense
If it don't make dollas mama don' t make no sense
Yeah

Finally, a rap album with real instruments and no beat machine! Its a miracle!
@joegar317
Listening to The Black Keys music you'd never think they'd be badass hip-hop producers as well, mostly Pat Carney. And Dan Auerbach's voice, which perfectly suits their rock/blues fusion music, sounds great on the hip-hop hooks as well. Blackroc keep rollin!
@lcsm2505
The Black Keys and hip hop together? Is this paradise??
@brejanator
Love the nice blend of rock and hip hop on this track. It's like rock hop.

@trossamania
the RZA is a BOSS among bosses and pharoahe is just a master of the flow and a lyrical monster.... what a track.
@Armistace
The Rza produced all of Wu's albums, starting off with stolen equipment that he set up in his apartment. He made all of the beats, and payed for everything. It's an understatement to say that he "spent days in the studio".
