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.

Silkk The Shocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
House wit Versace and shit but I just throw some jeans on
Picked up my phone,called my niggas but they wasn't at home
Shit mo like this(beep,beep)leave a message after the tone
Front back side to side in my 64 just cause I rap everyboby see me everybody
start to hit the floor
I be like ugn ugn dog I don,t do that shit no mo
Everybody come on everybody get they jewels and wallets and shit evrybody get
See I got a benz I can choose either the white or the black one
Dollar billz I stack um
Hallz full of platnium
Ugh un and ya'll don't want to try to jack son
Last nigga that tried,he died
Wish you could ask him
Use to walk In the bank be like I know he a thief
Now I walk to cash my checks with no I.D.
Everything I drop picture this It got to be sick
Like he ain't far from C.E.O. so that nigga got to be rich
Put It like this every week of the year cop me a six
Do the sports year one year then cop two lottery picks
I'm tryin to ball I could give a fuck what y'all got
My motto Is why get a car when I can buy the car lot
(Chorus)
If It don't make dollas It don't make sense
If It don't make dollas then It just don't make sense
If It don't make dollas It don't make sense
I'm bout to represent I'm to get presidents
It's like mo money mo money mo money
No Limit the only way to go know why cause that's foshow money
(Chorus)1x
I went from, holdup I'm trippin ahhhhhhhhhh oh yea I know I went from rolex's
to better rolex's
The plane kind to the kind with big head bezel's
Cutlass to benzes to a house on the hill
Worth more than a mill and I still keep It reel
I got more style nigga than haircuts
Let my nuts hang to the floor they bigger that beer nuts
Now you can ask p when you she him he'll tell ya dog I'm priceless
That's why my jewel's and shit will remain iceless
Now either your with me or against me dog
You did'nt like me before you really ain't gone like me no why I ain't
beginning to ball
I did charge It to the game nigga In less than two weeks
So I'm a take my time on made man and do It In 3
Now when I rap ya'll gone to have to feel my flow
Other rap niggas make one hit and never hear them no mo
That could never be me though
Before I stop silk the shocker then turn see-E-O
Money money money that's all I know
I'm trying to figure out I'm trying to have enough to get all my dogs up out
the ghetto
(Chorus)1x
It's like mo money mo money mo money no limit the on way to go
Cause that's foshow money
(Chorus)1x
If It don't make dollas then I don't want to make It
If it don't have four or five zero's behind it I don't wan't to take It
If it's a lexas why get a three when I can get a four
Why drive a five when I can drive a six
If It's the dope game why buy a once when I can buy a brick
Instead of buying a four I brought a four five so I can hide my wrist bitch
See most of my time Is spent up in the air
I'm on a airphone talking down to the mayor
In "If It Don't Make $," Silkk The Shocker talks about how he has come a long way from wearing expensive brands to now being able to dress in jeans and still maintain a level of wealth. He also talks about how his money has allowed him to own luxurious cars, stack up bills, and fill his house with platinum. Silkk's main message in the song is that if something doesn't generate money, then it's not worth his time or effort. He emphasizes the importance of wealth and how it is a driving force in his life.
Silkk also boasts about his success in the music industry, saying that he makes sick beats every week of the year, buys expensive cars and houses, and even invests in two lottery tickets a year. He is confident in his talents and his ability to make money, and he encourages others to do the same. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "if it don't make dollars, it don't make sense," which emphasizes Silkk's belief that money is the key to success and happiness.

Why drive a five when I can drive a six
If It's the dope game why buy a once when I can buy a brick
Instead of buying a four I brought a four five so I can hide my wrist bitch
If it doesn't make money, I don't want it. If it doesn't have four or five zeroes behind it, I don't need it. If I can afford a Lexus, I would choose a four over a three. I don't see the point in driving a five when I can drive a six. If I'm involved in the drug game, I would buy a brick instead of buying once. I brought a four five so I can hide my wrist without the need for jewelry
See most of my time Is spent up in the air
I'm on a airphone talking down to the mayor
I spend most of my time traveling by air. I'm even on a call with the mayor, speaking on the phone while I'm in the air
