This Is 4 My
Silkk The Shocker Lyrics

Look alive, recognize, my man Shocker
Be alert and acknowledge Silkk The Shocker, my friend

Money, power, fame, ya know I'm saying, whatever
Riches, influence, and prestige, you understand, anything that comes along with it

But listen, who you really do this for Shocker?
However, who is the true recipient of your actions, Silkk The Shocker?

This for my thug niggas (huh), what, my drug dealers
This is for my fellow criminals who sell drugs

From the pound to mix around, hard to give you a hug niggas
From selling drugs in bulk to blending it with other substances, it's difficult to embrace each other, my friends

For my key and a half niggas
For my colleagues who purchase and sell cocaine in quantities of 1.5 kilograms

Facing 10 but took a plea for 3 and a half niggas
Those who were charged with a 10-year sentence but received a plea bargain for only 3.5 years

For niggas who look the four corners, sit in the dark
For individuals who survey their surroundings and remain in the shadows

Ghetto shit, ghetto niggas, the ones that spit when they talk
Those from the ghetto, who speak with aggression and harshness

Shit, nigga put shots, better believe they be hitting your heart
If these people start shooting, you can guarantee they will aim for your heart

I can't stop, everything that I drop
I cannot cease releasing my music

what they doing?, hitting the charts
It's succeeding and becoming popular on the music charts

This for the real, the fake I just can't respect y'all
This is for the genuine individuals; I cannot admire the disingenuous

This for the one with the 3 hearts in the cut
This is for the person who possesses illegal firearms

only use the phone to make collect calls
That solely makes phone calls that require the recipient to bear the costs

This for my real niggas that be holding they ground
This is for my genuine colleagues who persevere and hold their position

In the middle of the projects, still holding it down
Even in the worst living conditions, they still remain grounded

For my Thurston House niggas
This is for my colleagues in Thurston House, which may be a reference to a housing project

The triple beam niggas
Individuals that utilize triple beam scales to measure drugs

The ones that scheme niggas
Individuals who plot and scheme

To get the cream niggas
To acquire money through illegal means

I mean the ones by any mean niggas
I am referring to people that will obtain what they want by any means necessary

The ones that keep it real, that keep the steel
Those who remain honest and carry firearms for protection

Always survive, gotta ride nigga, creep to chill
Always managing to make it through tough times, you must ride and be cautious in dangerous situations

To all my East niggas, my West niggas
To all my colleagues from the East Coast and the West Coast

my South niggas, my North niggas
My friends from the South and the North

The ones with no heart niggas
Individuals lacking empathy

the ones that set it off from start niggas
Those who initiate violence immediately

The ones like me, that's popping in the game
Individuals like me who are succeeding in the music industry

If you tell em once, they ain't listening
If you tell them once, they do not listen

I come back, and I'm popping them things
I return and exhibit my musical talents

The ones who put lies in they names, so hit the block
People who have fabricated stories about their lives, leave the area

See that biggest nigga, tell that, yo, nigga you gotta raise up off the spot
If you find the most sizeable person present, inform them that they must vacate the premises

You got til 12 o'clock to raise up
They have until midnight to leave

good bye or I'm coming back with the gauge up
Say your farewells or I am returning with a firearm

For all my niggas that be like Silkk's my dawg
For all my friends who refer to me as their comrade

For all y'all niggas that be hating, I be like fuck all y'all
To all those who despise me, I respond 'screw you all'

This my motherfucker, ya heard me?
This is my accompanying artist, do you understand?

Friend, friend, friend
A form of address to his friend, Fiend

What? Huh? Huh? Huh?
A series of interjections likely indicating confusion, surprise, or aggression

This for niggas like P
This is for people like P, possibly referring to Master P, Silkk's brother and record label owner

I mean niggas like C
I am referring to individuals similar to C, possibly another associate

Niggas down the bars, niggas that's down to ride for me
Individuals currently imprisoned or willing to support me in difficult situations

I put in your chest, put in your vest, put you to death
I am capable of shooting and killing you even if you are wearing a bulletproof vest

I don't give a fuck, I feel like I'm a second from my last breath
I am indifferent, and I believe I may die soon

Nigga fuck, I mean
An expletive highlighting frustration, annoyance, or disappointment

this is for my niggas who gotta like, pay they rent
This is for my associates who must pay for their housing expenses

Before, they just reach in they pocket and all they see is lint
Previously, they would only discover lint in their pockets when searching for funds

This for my niggas
This is for my associates

Y'all know this for my...
You are aware this is for my...

Niggas
Individuals of African descent

Keep it moving
Continue with your actions without pause or delay

My niggas who be thugging, my niggas who be struggling
My colleagues who engage in criminal activity or face difficulties

My niggas who be hustling, all my dawgs, I don't care which color
My associates who are hardworking and dedicated, regardless of their race

This for my real niggas, my ill niggas, my chill niggas
This is for my genuine, highly skilled, and relaxed colleagues

My niggas who down and dirty, the ones who get it how they live niggas
My friends who engage in unethical or risky behaviors to sustain their lifestyle

My niggas with little dough, like T and Little Joe
My colleagues with limited money, like T and Little Joe, whose identities may be unknown

Want to congratulate ya, don't hate ya, 'cause ya got a little more
I want to commend you and not resent you because you have a minimal excess of resources

For my No Limit niggas, my project niggas
For my associates from No Limit Records or impoverished areas

My out there niggas
My associates who are always present and active

(Where my niggas at?)
A rhetorical question requesting the location of his associates

Respect that nigga (Where my niggas at?)
Acknowledge and show deference to his associate(s)

This for my balling niggas, my shot calling niggas
This is for my colleagues with prime economic status and decision-making authority

All my niggas, especially my New Orleans niggas
All of my associates, with a particular emphasis on those from New Orleans

This is for my rowdy niggas, my bout it niggas (Bounce!)
This is for my aggressive and fearless associates

Silkk the Shocker live, (Shocker live nigga) nigga
Silkk the Shocker is performing live, be aware

Audi nigga (Shocker live nigga)
He is departing in his Audi, alerting others to move out of the way
