Silkk rose to fame in the mid-to-late 1990s, releasing records through Master P's label, No Limit Records. His self-titled debut, The Shocker, was released in 1996. Silkk was featured on Master P's 1998 hit, "Make 'Em Say Uhhh!" and had a minor rap hit with his own single that same year, "It Ain't My Fault," featuring label-mate Mystikal. Silkk also performed with R&B singer Mya on the second single released from her self-titled debut album, "Movin' On." In 1999, Mya and Silkk collaborated on the lead single from his album "Made Man." The track, titled "Somebody Like Me," went on to become one of the year's top-selling singles on the Billboard charts. Since then, Silkk has released two additional solo albums: "My World, My Way" in 2001 and "Based On A True Story" in 2004. Neither release generated the same success he enjoyed in the late 1990s. Silkk was also featured on World Wrestling Entertainment's Wreckless Intent album, which was released on May 23, 2006. The song he performed on the album, I'm Comin', has since been used as the theme song for SmackDown! wrestler M.V.P. Silkk also performed former SmackDown! wrestler Orlando Jordan's theme song, Do It Big.

Hey hoe (Trick get off me), Better watch them elbows, (Bitch get off me)
Niggas get the fuck back (Move), Hoes get the fuck back, (Move)
Whoadie you ain't bout that (Move), Better get the fuck back, (Move)
Hey hoe (Trick get off me), Better watch them elbows, (Bitch get off me)
Niggas get the fuck back (Move), Hoes get the fuck back, (Move)
Whoadie you ain't bout that (Move), Better get the fuck back, (Move)
Roll up with both the doors up on the black Lambo
Red rag round my head like the black Rambo
A bananna clip with 50 hollow tips of ammo
Smoke a nigga how a prisoner smoke Camel's
Got blacked out tints, Niggas like who is that?
I give a hatin' nigga 2 shots where his ribs at
Ya better not snitch cause I know where ya live at
I have niggas pissed, Don't know where they kids at
Cause once the beefs on you can't call a war off
I'll let the raw buck, Knock ya fuckin' car doors off
Switch phone numbers just to piss the whores off
Cop a 6 while you bitch about how much the 4's cost
The hot spitter is real, What the deal?
One hand on the wheel, The other holdin' the steel
Play with it if ya will, But this some real shit
My niggas done put out more hits than Will Smith
Yea
[Chorus: Master P]

[Verse 2: Master P]
Call me tiger cause I live in the woods
I'm like Tarzan when he run through the hood
A couple of wild coyotes chased me but couldn't catch me
?? and Lacey pulled me over but couldn't arrest me
Once the radar on I'm like the Preadator
We pop pills like Anvil and Excedra
Call me a blender, I put ya in a mix
Let go my eggo and pass me the purple twist
Throw them bows, We got the club jumpin'
XL like Jordan, He got the beat pumpin'
I'm famous in the ghetto like Amos Cookies
In other words I'm a vet and ya'll rookies
[Chorus: Master P]
Hey hoe (Trick get off me), Better watch them elbows, (Bitch get off me)
Niggas get the fuck back (Move), Hoes get the fuck back, (Move)
Whoadie you ain't bout that (Move), Better get the fuck back, (Move)
Hey hoe (Trick get off me), Better watch them elbows, (Bitch get off me)
Niggas get the fuck back (Move), Hoes get the fuck back, (Move)
Whoadie you ain't bout that (Move), Better get the fuck back, (Move)
[Verse 3: Silkk Tha Shocker]
If he ain't talkin' like I'm talkin', Tell him get the steppin'

We ball 'til we fall, I mean we shop 'til its gone
Why drive a car if it don't match what I got on
If I do something I usually get the block involved
You don't wanna get outta line whodie, That means the glocks involved
Ya'll cowards, Always run and gets the cops involved
You ain't gotta wonder if its me, You know is me nigga the top will be off
Look, You ain't did shit 'til you flipped bricks in a drought
You ain't had a girl 'til you had like a chick from the south
And nigga respect it even when the clips is out
Let ya borrow the 5 only 'til the 6 come out
They tryin' to get they weight up, I'm tryin' to get my G's up
Make athlete money without messin' my knee's up
Slim he don't know me like that, Whoadie ya best to ease up
Knuckle game is off the chain, Soon as I roll my sleeves up
Holla back

Everyone needs to move back
Whoadie you ain't bout that (Move), Better get the fuck back, (Move)
You're not ready for this, move back
Roll up with both the doors up on the black Lambo
Arriving in style in a black Lamborghini with gull-wing doors
Red rag round my head like the black Rambo
Representing with a red bandana like Rambo
A bananna clip with 50 hollow tips of ammo
Prepared with a firearm loaded with 50 bullets
Smoke a nigga how a prisoner smoke Camel's
Killing someone as easily as a prisoner smokes cigarettes
Got blacked out tints, Niggas like who is that?
Window tints so dark people can't see who is inside the car
I give a hatin' nigga 2 shots where his ribs at
Defending himself by shooting someone in the ribs
Ya better not snitch cause I know where ya live at
Don't tell on me or I will come after you
I have niggas pissed, Don't know where they kids at
Making people mad to the point they don't know where their children are
Cause once the beefs on you can't call a war off
Once a disagreement starts, it can't be easily stopped
I'll let the raw buck, Knock ya fuckin' car doors off
Shooting at someone and damaging their vehicle
Switch phone numbers just to piss the whores off
Changing numbers to avoid unwanted attention
Cop a 6 while you bitch about how much the 4's cost
Buying a better car while others complain about the cost of less expensive ones
The hot spitter is real, What the deal?
A talented rapper with true skills
One hand on the wheel, The other holdin' the steel
Driving and holding a gun at the same time
Play with it if ya will, But this some real shit
Don't underestimate this serious situation
My niggas done put out more hits than Will Smith
Producing more successful music than a famous actor
Call me tiger cause I live in the woods
Referring to oneself as a fierce animal due to living in a rough neighborhood
I'm like Tarzan when he run through the hood
Running through the neighborhood like a wild man from the jungle
A couple of wild coyotes chased me but couldn't catch me
Escaping from danger despite the best efforts of others
?? and Lacey pulled me over but couldn't arrest me
Avoiding getting arrested by law enforcement officers
Once the radar on I'm like the Preadator
Being stealthy and avoiding detection like a movie alien
We pop pills like Anvil and Excedra
Taking various drugs casually
Call me a blender, I put ya in a mix
Messing people up and causing trouble
Let go my eggo and pass me the purple twist
Relaxing and smoking weed
Throw them bows, We got the club jumpin'
Throwing elbows and causing chaos in the club
XL like Jordan, He got the beat pumpin'
A talented music producer making a great beat
I'm famous in the ghetto like Amos Cookies
Well-known and respected in a rough area like a popular brand of cookies
In other words I'm a vet and ya'll rookies
An experienced veteran compared to inexperienced newcomers
If he ain't talkin' like I'm talkin', Tell him get the steppin'
If someone can't keep up, they should leave
I'll +Nicolas Cage+ him, Whodie I'm +Gone In Sixty Seconds+
Taking someone out quickly, referencing a movie where Nicolas Cage is a skilled car thief
We ball 'til we fall, I mean we shop 'til its gone
Partying and spending money until it's all gone
Why drive a car if it don't match what I got on
Only driving a car that matches your style
If I do something I usually get the block involved
Bringing others into a situation
You don't wanna get outta line whodie, That means the glocks involved
Not crossing a line or else someone will get shot
Ya'll cowards, Always run and gets the cops involved
Running away and calling the police instead of facing problems head-on
You ain't gotta wonder if its me, You know is me nigga the top will be off
No need to guess who's arriving, it's obvious when the convertible is down
You ain't had a girl 'til you had like a chick from the south
The best women come from the southern US
And nigga respect it even when the clips is out
Earning others' respect even when brandishing weapons
Let ya borrow the 5 only 'til the 6 come out
Lending someone a firearm until getting an even better one
They tryin' to get they weight up, I'm tryin' to get my G's up
Others are working on their physical strength, but he is focusing on making more money
Make athlete money without messin' my knee's up
Making lots of money without risking physical injury
Slim he don't know me like that, Whoadie ya best to ease up
Don't disrespect me, you don't know me well
Knuckle game is off the chain, Soon as I roll my sleeves up
A skilled fighter who is ready to brawl
Holla back
