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.
If My 9 Could Talk
Silkk The Shocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me that nine, that clip
Ain't no talking to my 9, 'cause bitch I'm bout to sop you up
Twist the cap back, put one up in the chamber
Your life in danger, I'm busting caps upon a total stranger
Better believe I be creeping
Detectives wonder how I hit your house and the rest of the block,
they still sleeping
Surprise, surpise, nigga look at what you in for
[Chorus]
Only if my 9 could talk
Only if my 9 could talk
Don't, don't, don't leave no witnesses to this homicide
O-o-o only if my 9 could talk
Only if my 9 could talk
Don't, don't, don't leave no witnesses to this homicide
[Verse 2]
Now imagine me slipping up on my murder gloves
Now imagine me got a 9 with a silencer and I'm in a bout it club
I want soda 'cause niggas be snitching
I put blood up on his Polo, gots him screaming like bitches
Now it's gonna be, kinda like, hard to see me
Disappear like a genie
When I reappear, nigga you see nothing but my beam
And I'm gonna hits that nigga for one mill
These shots I pop, he drops, and uh, that's like a done deal
You could consider that nigga a disaster area
Call his mom for a black dress
consult his family members to be the pallbearers
You fucks with mine, I'ma leave that nigga shaking
Flatline, CPR, I don't think that nigga made it
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Some call it murder, I call it 1-87
Some call it robbery, bitch, I call it 2-11
See, hand me that duffle bag full of hot guns
First nigga runs up, guns up, that head gonna catch some hot ones
I run this shit like the White House
You like some white out
Tonight's the night, it's getting dark, bitch it's lights out
When I shoot, I'm never gonna miss
17 in my spot, 17 in my gloc, 17 niggas I'm gonna hit
I be a specialist like Sharon Stone
A bad boy like Al Capone
An assassin like Sylvester Stallone
Only if you could live, but you ain't
Only if my 9 could talk, but it can't
[Chorus]
Don't leave no witnesses to this homicide
[repeat Chorus]

Give me that nine, that clip
Hand me the gun and the ammunition
Ain't no talking to my 9, 'cause bitch I'm bout to sop you up
I don't need to speak, I'm about to shoot you
Twist the cap back, put one up in the chamber
Preparing the gun to shoot
Your life in danger, I'm busting caps upon a total stranger
I'm putting someone's life at risk and shooting them, even if they are a stranger
Better believe I be creeping
I move quietly and cautiously
Detectives wonder how I hit your house and the rest of the block, they still sleeping
Even the police are surprised at how I can sneak in and shoot without being caught
Straps all in your window, puffing up on some endo
I have loaded guns hanging outside your window and smoking marijuana
Surprise, surpise, nigga look at what you in for
I catch them off guard, and they realize they are in trouble
Now imagine me slipping up on my murder gloves
I'm getting ready to commit a murder, even putting on special gloves for the occasion
I want soda 'cause niggas be snitching
I drink soda because I know people talk, and I don't want to be ratted out
I put blood up on his Polo, gots him screaming like bitches
I shoot someone and their clothes get stained with blood, causing them to scream like women
Now it's gonna be, kinda like, hard to see me
I'm going to be hard to find or see after committing the crime
Disappear like a genie
I vanish like a magic trick
And I'm gonna hits that nigga for one mill
I'm going to shoot and kill someone for one million dollars
These shots I pop, he drops, and uh, that's like a done deal
I shoot someone and they immediately fall, meaning the job is done
You could consider that nigga a disaster area
The person I shot is now a mess, like a disaster zone
Call his mom for a black dress
I killed someone, and their family should prepare for a funeral
consult his family members to be the pallbearers
The family members of the person I killed should help carry the coffin at the funeral
You fucks with mine, I'ma leave that nigga shaking
If you mess with me or my people, I will make you scared and hurt you
When I shoot, I'm never gonna miss
I am a skilled shooter, and will never miss my target
17 in my spot, 17 in my gloc, 17 niggas I'm gonna hit
I have 17 bullets and plan to use them to harm 17 people
I be a specialist like Sharon Stone
I am skilled and precise in what I do, like Sharon Stone's character in the movie 'Basic Instinct'
A bad boy like Al Capone
I am a dangerous person, like infamous gangster Al Capone
An assassin like Sylvester Stallone
Like the character Sylvester Stallone played in the movie 'Assassins', I can kill without mercy
Only if you could live, but you ain't
You are going to die, there's no way out
Only if my 9 could talk, but it can't
If the gun could talk, it would tell you about all the people I have shot and killed
Don't leave no witnesses to this homicide
Make sure there are no survivors who can identify me as the shooter
repeat Chorus
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the message of not leaving any witnesses to a crime
