Skrip offered his free album ‘The Underscore’ and his debut album ‘Becoming All Things’ in 2011 and was received by the public with open arms. His albums have displayed his roots reminiscent of golden era boom bap, pop, catchy hooks, vivid story telling, and melodies.
Skrip showed that as a song writer and producer he cannot be boxed in stylistically as a boom bap producer. When St. Louis giant and gutter rap perfectionist, Thi’sl introduced his 2011 album ‘Beautiful Monster,’ you immediately saw that Thi’sl had grown musically. That growth can partially be attributed to Skrip’s songwriting, production, and singing on the title track “Beautiful Monster” which also features Swoope. Skrip also contributed the theme music to Reach Records artist Andy Mineo’s ‘Saturday Morning Car Tunez’ series, as well as two songs “Hello World” and “Listen” from ‘Formerly Known,’ Andy Mineo’s free album.
“Every subject that he talks about is something that’s really relevant in someone’s life-or something that some girl went through or somebody is going through or what someone is thinking or what someone even doubts about.” – Joey Fernandez (Lupe Fiasco, Patti Labelle, Smokie Norful, Dave Hollister)Skrip was included on Rapzilla.com’s 12 Freshman of 2012 after displaying a high level of talent and promise with his two offerings in 2011, ‘The Underscore’ and ‘Becoming All Things.” When the owners of Rapzilla.com made the move to start a record label of their own, they immediately thought of Skrip. Skrip was the first signing to Infiltrate Music and will prove to be a vital asset to the team.
Something About You
Skrip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I raise my hands to the sky
It ain't a stick up and I ain't gonna lie
Just had to pick up to the moon ima fly
I'm talking to a place where the tears are dry
Just wanna go where you are
Some other planets or stars
Your beauty astounds me oh my god
Exchange so not natural
everything about you, I saw heaven though
fame is too, your shine is immaculate
name is too you speak from some magic lips
magic lips eh magic lips eh magic lips magic lips
ah ah ah ah ah oo oo oo oo ah ah ah ah
there's something about you
So joyous amazing and other
out of this world no ordinary lover
not only lover by definition of the
only been on top on top like butter
on bread, any bread, more than a butler
speaking of your presence gives me the stutter
oh oh where'd you go
I'd go for sure coz i gave you my soul
And i just love how you're in control
even in the bed you know how the story goes
so I trust you with my hope and my soul
so this is my heart and this is my song
and Ima stay forever
you not only made life better
saw the rain in the sky
then you changed the weather
ah ah ah ah oo oo oo oo ah ah ah ah
there's something about you
you spoke life then came existence
all the planets angels witnessed
stars of passion lightening trenches
unexplained mercy never ending
with all this light that you sending
regeneration no pretending
you center stage them so extending
your arms to me i amended
now i can come to you
run to you
stick like gum to shoe
but they cannot separate the love for you
oh what a pleasure it is to hear
you love me too
you love me too
you love me too
ah ah ah ah oo oo oo ah ah ah ah
there's something about you
now stop and pose
and know the same
heroes heroes heroes heroes
The song "Something About You" by Skrip is an ode to a lover that he considers to be out of this world, quite literally. The opening lines, "Yeah, I raise my hands to the sky, It ain't a stick-up and I ain't gonna lie, Just had to pick up to the moon ima fly," seem to express his desire to be with this person wherever they are, even if it means going to the moon. He's enchanted by their beauty and grace, which makes him see heaven everywhere he looks. The lyrics speak to the overwhelming feeling of love and adoration that Skrip feels for this person, who is his source of joy and hope. He trusts them with his soul and even in bed, he finds comfort in their control. He describes this love as something beyond ordinary, something magical that defies explanation or definition.
In the chorus, the repetition of "there's something about you" reinforces the idea that this person is special and unique, unlike anyone else. Skrip goes on to describe this person as a hero who has the power to bring light and existence into being. The line "stars of passion lighting trenches" is a metaphor for how love can conquer even the darkest places. The song has a spiritual undertone, as Skrip refers to the person as a creator who can change the weather and speaks life into existence. It may be interpreted as a testament to his faith or as a metaphor for a love that feels heavenly. In any case, the lyrics express the depth of Skrip's feelings for this person and his conviction that they are meant to be together.
