Skyzoo - Stop Fooling Yourself Lyrics
Feels somethin' like
I solemnly swear
What I perform in the booth
All of it is truth
I solemnly swear
What I perform in the booth
All of it is truth
I solemnly swear
What I perform in the booth
All of it is truth
Goes somethin like this
If you listenin', I'm lookin' for a place to turn
See it seems like, this is all I want out of life
But it's the other way around, I wanna do right
But it's moreso a question of responsibilities
So the lights stay on, but my conscience is killin' me
Gettin' my Mariano on, pitcher perfect
Still inside, I fear the Lord like "is it worth it?"
Huh, at first I say "no"
But when I open my closet, it makes say so - fuck it
And this is hustler haven, see I'm not alone
Cause he would say that I got faith, or I got a home
So I ask God if he still love us
I don't always wanna be this drug dealin' ma'fucker but
I was playin' on, with opposite plans
And I ain't even have the decency to wash my hands
So he spoke through the clouds like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
I said nevermind the mistakes, and he said
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
I said I'm tryin' to get through them gates, and he said
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
I said I'm tryin' to switch my ways, and he said
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
Searchin' for a way out of the bottom
Without shootin' the 3, or tryin' to serve product
I'm really just tryin' ta defy the odds
A 9 to 5 is callin' me, but I'm tryin' ta dodge
I really wanna do the school thing
The so called not cool thing
Cause I'm gettin' tired of movin' things
So maybe Howard or Morehouse or Clark-Atlanta
But all of my friends peddle crack and spark hammers
I told em we could still be hood and do somethin' more
With our lives
And they all look surprised like
"Wasn't you the same ma'fucker?"
"That showed us how to cook up and cut the butter?"
I said "yeah but I guess I sort of had an epiphany"
"I'm tryin' to take this ride, and ya'll don't wanna
Trip with me?"
Got into NC Central and I was glad
I ripped my acceptance letter in half
Cause my dudes kept tellin' me
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
Tried to change my grind and they replied
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
I said "you changed with time," and they was dyin' like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
So I changed my mind, and stayed outside like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
They say you are what you are, and you been what you been
Played the corner so long, I blend with the wind
Mind over matter
Money from the grind is a factor
Tryin' to get it with mines gon' matter
You are what you are, and you been what you been
Played the corner so long, I blend with the wind
Mind over matter
Money from the grind is a factor
Tryin' to get it with mines gon' matter
Cause everything else is really like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
I'm playin' tug 'o war with myself like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
Cause if I try to call for some help it's like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
Scared to go to the Lord for help like
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
So I just say fuck it
I solemnly swear
What I perform in the booth
All of it is truth
I solemnly swear
What I perform in the booth
All of it is truth
I solemnly swear
What I perform in the booth
All of it is truth
Goes somethin' like

Classic Skyzoo song

I remember bumping this back in college...straight classic
Same here man. Brings back great memories.
same bro glad to share the moment with you
Fuckin facts
Second verse...Story and the plight of my generation...
This contains a banging sample of an early sister sledge track from circa 1975.
Nas the truth, ni*** must have just woke up, go check out his new albums, GODSON, STILLMATIC, LIFE IS GOOD, LOST TAPES. Real Hip Hop.
Hahaha... word, Fam. Respect.
HIP HOP 4 LIFE IT'S UR BOY P
Tracks like this give me hope that Hip Hop might not die a lonely, heinous death with MC like Skyzoo in the game. Fuck that commercial, trap beat garbage.
kaoz666 maybe one day
Sky a beast
Gotten me through a lot of painstaking days...
Whaaaat... I already commented on this??
this is truth
ronnie dyson? thought it was sister sledge
pffff cassage de nuque assuré
Songs hard
Really hate when i go to a Skyzoo video and an ad for 'Tyga-Rack City Chick' comes up before the song even starts! I don't wanna hear that shit, that's the reason why i went to Skyzoo in the first place! Not to hear that fake little faggot!
maybe his friend is THE ONE that gave this song a dsilike
This message is for that guy who seems to find every great hip hop track and give it a single dislike... BOY, STOP FOOLIN' YOURSELF!!!! BOY STOP!!!!
@RKEreal1 Good job bro
@TheArsenal91 Give In To Love- Sister Sledge
fuck that nigga
jac5562 hatin
" REAL DEEP, LYRICS WITH 9TH WONDER GO HAND IN HAND. " DOPE ! "
Hip-Hop at it's finest
KDash3rdLetter Yes Siiiir👍👌✊✊✊✊✊😎
this shit is going over heads. 0% chance to ever hear him on radio and its a good thing. hes just for us hip hop heads let the rest stay blissfully ignorant .
i could be way off but when he says " getting my mariano on . pitcher perfect " if i understand it right thats his round about way of callin him self a drug dealer. referencing a pitcher as something to pitching drugs or trafficking and
then mariano or however u spell it is a closing pitcher in Major league Baseball. and the other obvious play on word there is picture perfect. he minupulated an old saying . pretty cool.
searching for a way outa the bottom
without shooting a three or trying
to serve product , im really jus
trying to defy the odds. a 9-5
is calling me but im trying to
dodge.
1 dislike probly from the devil himself
my fav rapper. it took 2011 for me to discover this nigga
dudes got an ol school swag with some real shit...feeling it
nobody makes kind of dat sounds... SKYzOO 4 ever!
@MoneyBlocc868 i feel you on that bro
Hardbody
GROB410 Yes Saaa✊✊✊✊💪😎
Me and my homeboy were on our way to my house and I played this song. (I was driving) He said Skyzoo didn't have shit on Gucci Mane. I made that nigga walk home for talking wreckless

@shazam774
"I solemnly swear what i perform in the booth, all of it is truth." This right here...is hip-hop doctrine... ALL MC's should be required to abide by this.
gheaaaaaaa! this song was playin in my head..i had to find it on you tube! :)
CLASSIC SHIT !
LOL I'm callin those five dumpster juice. I was talkin bout the mainstream that don't deserve a mention on here, but like i said u kno the few that come to mind. Much respect to all.
Hot dumpster juice has always sold. I don't have to mention the ppl we talkin bout. Murs, Skyzoo, Jadakiss,Tech9, Ortiz. Those are a few MC that are slept on by mainstream(not the ppl that kno bout em). Now you don't have to like the ppl i did mention, but u get what I'm saying. Much respect to all
@irepbmore Sister Sledge - Give Into Love
i can see the realness bleed out of my speakers
Deep real hip hop, cant wait for Sky's new album The Salvation, Aug 25th
9th blessed Skyzoo with this beat....as a rapper if you cant be inspired to spit over a soundtrack like this, then you're in the wrong bidness!!!
hell yeah !!
just discovered this cat trying to find 9th wonder beats for freestyles. Such a breath of fresh air to hear some new MCs that actually have lyrical skills and content that means something nowadays. Dope shit
this is such a big big tune. .. .skyzoo's underated.
Das Ding ist jetzt schon ein Klas-sicker..und eins der besten Instrumentale von 9th!!
dam that that thats good wowowowowow
