Hey dad
Son who's your favorite rapper and who's your favorite rap group?
You are 'cause you the real ice cream man and my favorite rap group is T.R.U.
'Cause I'm true 2 da game, aha
You got any studying to do?
Yea dad. Studying this just how to be a true playa
Wanna ask me some questions?
Yea son. Let me see this
Oh they didn't have questions like this when I grew up son
But I guess whatever
It takes to make you be a man son. I'm all for it
Son, the first question is, if you rap about another
Rapper on a record, what are you?
You a sucka!
Aha, you got that right son. Next question
If you hate another for being successful, what are you?
You mean like, you rollin' in Benzes, they be like P.H.ing you
The pigs be pulling you over cause you
Be black and you be sittin' on triple gold
Like the niggas in the ghetto be hatin' on you cause you made it out?
Yea son, what is that, what you call that?
Dad, that only be two words. PLAYA HATA
Huh, you got that right son. Look like you gonna past this test
But I got one more question for you
Son, if any man depends on another man and can't think on his own
Can't survive on his own, can't take good care of his
Family, you know what I mean son
I mean, you were put in this world by yourself
You're supposed to depend on you
And nobody else. I mean son
When a man can't function on his own and put his problems on another man
son, what type of man is that? What do you call that type of person?
Dad, can I curse?
Son, if you have to express yourself. Tell me, what type of man is that?
That a punk ass bitch
Hehehe, damn little P, you bout it, bout it, just like your daddy
Oh wait, one more question before I leave though
What you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be a G like you. A No Limit Soldier for life
Fuck you hatas, 'cause we have millions.
In Capito the N.O. Capo's song Skit, a conversation between a father and son takes place, with the son asking his father questions about what it takes to be a true playa. The father starts off by asking his son about his favorite rapper and rap group, to which the son replies that his father is his favorite rapper because he's the real ice cream man and T.R.U is his favorite rap group because he's true 2 da game. The father then quizzes his son on what a rapper is called if they rap about another rapper on a record (a sucka!), if they hate another for being successful (a PLAYA HATA!) and what type of person depends on another man and can't think on his own (a punk ass bitch!).
The song's lyrics promote the idea of self-reliance and independence. The father is teaching his son that a real man can function on his own, think on his own and take good care of his family. The lyrics also touch on the theme of success and the hate that it can attract, as well as the idea that being a true playa means being true to oneself and not trying to be someone else.
