20 of the Best Lyrics From Skyzoo’s ‘In Celebration of Us’ Album

"Celebratory moments of a glass or a bottle in the air /Or a flask and a shotti with a flare /And the bag coming out when one appears/Or the flash of a body in the stairs /And the crash of a lobby in despair/Or moments where you getting patted on the ground/That then turn into badges on the ground" —Skyzoo

"Backtracking to the moments that inspired the toast/To the half gallon of Henny for supplying the hope/'Til you back to backing the semi from inside of ya coat/Either that or standing on the other side of the scope/Or its a celebration of being nowhere near where the aim is/Trigger fingers turn to quotations/Same fingers boxing you in will leave you vacant/Round of applause down the hall for all your patience" —Skyzoo

"And may y'all continue to prey on who you root on/Like stay on and make a seance out of a nuance/And say y'all, get in the way of what I been due on/My catalog is like Avon meets Brother Mouzone/Threw y'all a 3 peat and we bout to part 4 it/You either part for it or parkour it/This what it sound like/when you give the sound light/And everything above it wind up under the ground like" —Skyzoo

"It sound like raising a .45/And making the floor rise, all while explaining apartheid/All while changing a car ride to aiming at off sides/All while playing the Pharcyde/And pray if the car dies/That you was low enough to get lost by whoever had a set on your door side/Closer than a rear-view, low as it appears to/Where they grow weight and throw weight like Amir do" —Skyzoo

"And when your fave spitting that shit and you seem surprised/I'm Eric betting with Kyle, I'm feeding 'em from behind/Word to Kenny, all this work, who working wit' me/Cause it was either work out a verse or work a semi/Box out like Hakeem, 30/20/Threw the pump fake and they thinking I work for Semi/Lot of lines, I'll give you time to go and break those/Meanwhile, I'm ducking from plain clothes" —Skyzoo

"One time for the love of the lead and the way it had us/And the irony of the dotting the beam on whatever matters/Black lives and black fives, the frame boxing out/I'm Luke Cage'ing, but more related to Cottonmouth/And we related to whoever made it/And came back to park it in front of us and let us chase it" —Skyzoo

"Heard 'em when they was saying to never leave until the plate done/And how it turn into better bitches with better lacefronts/I mean, you either out or you on it, got it or want it/Same way 9 won't cut it, like find yo' budget/Regardless of who move up the block, the block shaking/You moved in when they promised you that the block's vacant" —Skyzoo

"Corner store still open, it ain’t too late/Said to praise that in your arms like it’s a bouquet/Same way as you ever thought, sweeter than Kool-Aid/Brown paper bags for us all baby, touché/Took it right back outside, the way they want it/Catch us on line for the pie, baby who cutting?" —Skyzoo

"Cheer me on, look at the tier I be on/I done been acclaimed so long, I'm cleared beyond/Music for my friends who never could steer me wrong/Straps all over their front like a pair of Deions/For realla, and it get for realla like/Killing the top to figure out what the ceiling's like/From in the new shit, new shit, roof split like Goyards/Know I'm for the city like Olaf's" —Skyzoo

"Talk keynote or kilo', I can do both/Crowned me for being the first to put 'em too close/Underrate him but overpay him is how the loop go/Still got the line on whoever is what you do know/And you know, jump in ya lane and pull up the echoes/Son, I'm all over the aim, I'm Hoodie Melo/Been up, to look like I wasn't wasn't an accident/So if I'm still sitting, I'm Kaepernick" —Skyzoo

"So love me like I introduced you to Dominicans/Whether it was Ayisha Diaz or her kin and 'em/Talking bout a price and what it's worth to be the middleman/Fitted for a crown and how it works and the expense of it/Love me like the drummer, love me like never running out of Runners/Love me like what they sung before they hung us/Hymns getting lost in the clouds when they were flung up/Or shells getting caught in the crowd by the wrong 'others'" —Skyzoo

"Like other than you and other than him/Until they learn those exceptions turn to others with them, right?/Or otherwise, shooting for the other side/'Til they box you without a trial on a one-to-five/And then love me like you was Venida Browder/Pickets outside and you just tryin' to ease the crowd up/Knowing ya heart died makes your heart beat louder/Until the speakers blow and it lift you up from around us" —Skyzoo

"Said to make owning a roof part of a habit/But learned that sitting in rooms that didn't have 'em/Heard that as getting your roof was all that mattered/All that to lift off the roof, could you imagine/The irony of the top being behind you/Be it the roof or the proof of who defied you" —Skyzoo

"Killing the roof make it easier to hear who applaud/Whether it's 'bravo y'all' or aiming at your car/Whether it's 'bravo y'all,' staring at your arms and how they can fit up under/How to live up the summer/The park and how it does us is credit achieved/Same 456'ing over Peddler Themes/Same view of intuition you was led to believe/Same shooters in position if you ever do need" —Skyzoo

"Can it all be so, Cory and Dennis?/Top 3's and chopped cheese all through the winters/Boxed jeeps and Cardi B's off of the scrimmage/Mahogany behind the seats, caught in the lyrics/Do you know where you going to? Draw up what they know of you/Picture that with enough space for whoever should go with you/Told me what we here for same way it was told to you/My Saint Laz heavy enough to pray over both of you" —Skyzoo

"Til you knew the tone you receiving was off a payment/Like when it's two tones on the V that you serenading/Mike '92 tone on the Beamer, 'Rockaway Ray' it/Or white-and-blue tone from the D's all in the way and it/Gets in between, soon as you got it, you grey it/I mean, silly me for tryin' to Co-Op and New Day it/I be centerpieced like I was tryna two-way it/I preach Hennessy, but I see the need to D'usse it" —Skyzoo

"And when you get on, you put on where the attention at/And know that looking on is to listen back/And getting back everything you did it for, bright is what you living for/Promise it would never turn dim at all/And all it took to come to life was a stage to live it/Shit can happen overnight if you awake to get it/Like aiming before you draw and what it takes to hit it/Or Caine and O-Dog the stickup tape from Menace" —Skyzoo

"It's like knowing where the cameras in the walls are/And they was already talking for you before the talk start/And your direction come into question like it was OnStar/It's either turn it on for the tape or turn into wall art/Or maybe you was there, but you really wasn't/In the cut, but before it cut, you can feel it coming/Quicker than you ever could've thought without interrupting/Bottle on the floor and now you wishing you didn't touch it" —Skyzoo

"And it got me if I need it to perform when they reaching/If they catch then I know this cape on me if I'm leaking/It'll catch whatever's pouring to the floor before I see it/And it will be the reason your applause run the deepest/And it'll catch whatever might pour from your peoples/Leaning on the top of it/Face on the shoulder of it, looking for the obvious/Pushing for a reason, tryna seek to where the bottom is/Swear it ain't no stopping it" —Skyzoo

"Do you believe, that you could be taught how/To be who you already was before you was bogged down/Like, 'This is what best represents y'all/Nevermind the fact that I've yet to step in your yard or ever been that involved'/Do you believe, in loading the .44 and blowing the corridor for all that you want for/But learning the court of law could never be cornered off/Unless you were one of them, would you just call it off" —Skyzoo
