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.

These niggas can either love us or hate us

Haters (haters)

Beware on all streets
We got glocks takin' care of all beef
Fuck fair and all peace
We tried that shit
Tryin' to hide you bitch and stay inside and shit
But we kickin' down doors

So I'ma stay in this bitch till I get my shit tight

They get around they boys they try to hide the tape
Ah, you know when I slide in the place
Look at these haters
Look at they eyes and they face
They like them niggas ain't hip-hop enough
They from the south
Got too many gold teeth in they mouth
Them boys country they too rowdy
Plus they too bout it
But we don't give a fuck
We bout to run 2000
So I'm like playas - get money
And y'all haters - get's nothin'

Switching to Silkk's verse
I can't believe they ain't heard about
Expressing disbelief that others haven't heard of them
Them boys from the dirty south
Referring to their southern origins
I speak with awkward slang plus I got a dirty mouth
Referring to his unrefined language skills
So I'ma stay in this bitch till I get my shit tight
Staying in the music industry until he perfects his skills
I'm tryin' to be the only nigga to ever get 6 mics
Striving to be the only artist to receive the highest accolade
I tell them slow down nigga y'all just sit tight
Advising others to take their time
It's all about triple platinum in this bitch
The ultimate goal is to sell three million albums
6 hits ain't right
Six hits aren't sufficient
I see them niggas
Noticing others
Look besides they fake
Realizing that some people are insincere
Number one fans
Taking note of those pretending to be fans
They get around they boys they try to hide the tape

Ah, you know when I slide in the place
Feeling confident when entering a venue
Look at these haters
Viewing those who dislike him
Look at they eyes and they face
Noticing their expressions
They like them niggas ain't hip-hop enough
Critiquing them to be insufficiently hip-hop
They from the south
Noting their southern origins
Got too many gold teeth in they mouth
Being criticized for having too many gold teeth
Them boys country they too rowdy
Being criticized for being too wild
Plus they too bout it
Being too aggressive
But we don't give a fuck
Not caring about others' opinions
We bout to run 2000
Dominating the music industry in 2000
So I'm like playas - get money
Advising others to make money
And y'all haters - get's nothin'
Those who hate the group won't receive any recognition in their success
