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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All because of my car
All because of my car
All because of my car
[Mo B. Dick]
I'm in my car, cruisin to the beat
Trippin off, off these money hungry freaks
'cause you know I got money an a cold blooded car
[Chorus]
Must be the Beamer (Must be the Beamer)
That's turning you on
Must be the Benz (Must be the Benz)
I ain't takin you home
{All because of my car}
Must be the Cruiser (Must be the Cruiser)
Got you flaggin me down
Must be the Rover (Must be the Rover)
Makes you wanna be around
{All because of my car}
[Silkk the Shocker]
I hits an run like an accident
Mr. hit em fast an slow is back again
If you don't believe me go an ask a friend
I got more hoes than the O-Zone
I hits em wit they close on
(Why's that Silkk?)
So they can go home
I rolls up on a bucket, she got a man
But when I rolls up in a Benz, das when she hops in
An thas how its gon' happen to her
I don't mean to be like mackin to her or rappin to her
But I'm jus askin to her
Now back up in the days I run game on em
They wanna play games so I bought a Lexus from my homie
An the next day after that, game don't stop
(Where ya car at)
I be like man, its in tha shop
But now I'm on top now
Put the......top down
See how many number I can jot down, how many girl I can knock down
An plus up on my block, now it ain't gon' stop
Now, since I got a little cash
Now I dash down the block but I keep my game tight
When I'm in the Rover, I gets the guests the same night
You try skeezin me, should be try pleasin me
Alizay to get the draws off easily
Thas when I switch my game over
You blame it on a hang over I blame it on the Range Rover
An I ain't tryin to hear that
(Oh it's like that, huh?)
Like that, like that
Chorus
[Mo B. Dick]
When I'm flossin on these ghetto streets
Can't see how I get stopped by those crooked police
I can't understand, why they player hate
An they ask me these question, like how much money I make
Now it's none of their business, how I make my ends
An you can't get a piece of my funky dividends
I guess you could say, I got it goin on
'cause I keep seein girlies an they won't leave me alone
[Silkk the Shocker]
I guess the PD is tryin to see me in the State Pen
Behind me tryin to run my license plate in
I'm checkin my rear view, but I ain't gon' trip, bruh
Waitin for me to slip up, show me some ID wit yo' picture
I guess they wanna see my bank statement
See how much money that I'm makin
But I guess they just be hatin
They need to start missin me, stop trippin G
I guess they mad 'cause I got more gold than Mr T
[Mo B. Dick]
An all these freaks wanna get in my gangsta ride
'cause I got it front to back, an side to side
But I ain't got time
I gotta do my thang
An if you wanna front you know I can hang
Now you know that I never wanna perpetrate
'cause y'all playa hate
You fools better recognize
That a No Limit Soldier is on the rise
Chorus
Must be the Bentley (Must be the Bentley)

Must be the Lex (Must be the Lexus)
That's why I'm takin you home
{All because of my car}
Must be the Caddie (Must be the Caddie)
Got you flaggin me down

The lyrics of "My Car" by Silkk The Shocker, featuring Mo B. Dick, discuss the power and influence of having a nice car. The chorus repeats the phrase "All because of my car," indicating that the attention and admiration they receive from others is solely due to their automobile. Throughout the verses, Silkk and Mo B. Dick describe experiencing attraction and attention from women because of their cars, as well as resentment and negatively from law enforcement. They also touch on their own feelings of power and confidence while driving these vehicles.
The song's lyrics serve as a reflection of a common theme of hip-hop culture, which is the power and status that comes with material possessions. The emcees in the song are well aware of the effect that their cars have on those around them, and they revel in it. The repeated refrain of "All because of my car" suggests that there is a sense of pride and validation that comes with owning such an impressive vehicle.
Overall, "My Car" is a celebration of the flashy, ostentatious side of hip-hop culture. It's a song about indulging in the luxuries that come with success and the feeling of being on top. The lyrical content is somewhat superficial, but it serves as a representation of the materialistic aspects of the genre.
