Prowler 2
Ski Beatz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to my little party in your honor
The guest list has been compiled so that you go out in style
You don't mind if my friends introduce themselves, do you Leroy?
Then let the games begin!

Ha! Back up in the booth and my "V" is for Vendetta
Fuck the last rhyme, to tell you the truth I got 10 better
I bend letters over 'til they look like "n's"
And then offend so many men with them, they look like fems
I'm a feminine rebel, forever cleverer than your shit
Never be level with niggas' shit, my flow can float bitch
Figure out the dosage to administer vaccines
Sickness I invoke in close considered the Black Jean
It's Blakroc, it's Blacksmith
Miss Grae and I'm back, bitch
Hulk-smash harass a motherfucker most passionate
Fashion plate, magistrate
Fascinating lady, grab your Vaseline and masturbate
Emasculate your manhood, possibly damn good
Dismantle all your posse turn them pussy with tan hoods
Don't push me, I don't land good
Liable to fly up off the handle like a pan would
And "swoosh," hit. Mrs. Woods

Salt rivers flowing out my eyeballs
Pierced side, broke legs, bearing my cross
The old heads told me life wasn't a game
But mine steady feeling like pinball, dodgeball
Chasing freedom, establish a kingdom
And build a stone castle out of thinwall, drywall
I'm a keep going 'til God call or the sky fall
Or they blast me on a grassy knoll and try to blame Oswald
Average Joe Blow, mastering my mojo
Cinder block, karate chop
Practice in the dojo (uh)
If it's so-so, I'll probably be a no show
Shootin' the willy bobo out on Nostrand with the po' folks (uh)
Black dragon rap, flames out the nostrils
From Crown Fried to Roscoe's I'm spreading the gospel
I overcame like the Saints done the Falcons
Like Hoover did to Malcolm

Yaowa!
Y'all know what the fuck I do
Bubble gum buster, so easy to fuckin' chew
Lyrics I blow bubbles to
Unoriginal, it's easy to make another you
Finding my telly keys the only way you'll get a W
Niggas ain't grizzly, y'all all soft and huggable
I came up in the gutter, you came up like all the Huxtables
You don't want me to black-belt-to-death you
Karate chop your pops, Liu Kang kick your nephew
Hi yaowa! To hell is where I send 'em
Y'all just learned the art
I been tighter than your denims
I'll "Ryu" or "Ken" 'em
I'm classic with the pen
Give me five minutes I'll show you I'm deadly with the venom
Poison with the darts
See your boys be in the park
My boy be in the park
Yeah, annoyin' all the narcs
We two different types, see, you spit what you write
What I spit is the truth and truth comes to the light

Bang bang, tobacco roller, smoke show, mofo sensei
Blue cloak, red stripe, get right head shot
Bass bang, necks crane, fresh construction when
Ski percussion, black hour, bad Boogie Man
Brought all my cousins again
Sisters and brothers and 'em
Bey's they center edge, overs and unders of them
Ain't no fuckin' with them
Ain't nan suckers within
Never closed, hella flows
Ice cold, never froze
Me and the exceptionals
Too high to get over on
A blue Jabbar, sittin 'til it's game point
Pick and roll, give and go
No ordinary miracle
Freedom fighters' spiritual
Eagle eye aerials
Sun spot, mountain top
Fresh water fountain drop
Open our dreams
Fresh green, quartz counter top
The ashtray, that 3rd water Kings county rock
Black heed powerhouse
Can't shut the power out
Tell 'em quit wildin' out
Show ya what I'm bout about
Tune in, senator
This how you turn a party out
She get fresh, yes, to help her stretch your body out
Get live and hurricane black don will air your body out
Cash and carry then I'm outty out




One!
Center edge

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Ski Beatz's song "Prowler 2," Leroy is invited to a party by the singer, who promises that the guests are there to help him go out in style. The tone of the lyrics is sarcastic, and the singer seems amused by Leroy and his situation. The second verse is about the rapper's flow and wordplay, discussing his ability to bend letters and offend people with them. He claims to be a "feminine rebel" who is cleverer than his opponents, and he describes his flow as "floating." The third verse is by rapper Jay Electronica, who discusses his struggles in life and his determination to keep going and chasing freedom. He references various cultural touchstones, from pinball to karate, and boasts about his ability to write true and deadly lyrics.


One interesting fact about this song is that it is a sequel to the original "Prowler," which was released on Ski Beatz's 2010 album "24 Hour Karate School." The song features four different rappers: Ski Beatz, Jean Grae, Jay Electronica, and Joell Ortiz. The beat of the song was created by Ski Beatz using a combination of live instruments and samples. The song was originally intended to be included on the Blakroc 2 project, which was a collaborative album between the Black Keys and various rappers that was never fully released. The lyrics reference several cultural touchstones, including the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the TV show "The Cosby Show." The song was well-received by critics, who praised the rappers' flows and Ski Beatz's production.


The chords for this song are not available as it is a rap song and does not feature any prominent instrumentals.
