[Skillz]

Yo, it's that time, we bring the past back up

Ya boy Skillz, you know my ass gon' act up

And this year was jacked up, but I got the facts up

Here we go, Scrap - this the "'08 Rap Up"

If you a Patriots fan, you was quick to cheer

'Til the Giants pulled off the "Upset of the Year"And the commercials was lame as hell

Poor Marion Jones, she had to watch the game from her cell

"Detox" was gettin recorded

And Dre put out some headphones, but he was the only one that could afford 'em

Wayne got bagged for havin herb

And Nas try to drop a CD that was called the N-word

I chilled on the word, I was fine

'til I saw him at the Grammys, I was like, "This nigga lost his mind!"

Ne-Yo toured with Kells, and he got played

50 Cent, he kicked Paris Hilton off stage

Game went to jail for eight days

You know it's bad when JoJo faint and K-Ci leave him on the stage

Jay-Z and Mary J. doubled they bread

Shout out to Prodigy and Remy Ma, hold ya head

"A Raisin in the Sun?" You lied

I heard that and I thought Flavor Flav got a show outside

And wrestling look faker than ever

I mean, WHO was gon' believe the Big Show couldn't beat Mayweather?!

Now Nick & Mariah, they kept it G

But the "Wedding of the Year" goes to Hov & B

The unity in G-Unit is gone

Cause it's a sad day when you got Young Buck cryin on the phone

("I'm just being confused!")

Ice-T and Soulja Boy - dumb!

And who was the fool that threw a bottle at KRS-One?!

The Sean Bell verdict was lame

And 50 went to Africa but he ain't come back with his chain

Wayne dissed the DJs', what was that 'bout?

Then the barber from L.A. straight knocked Suge out

Tough street +Lookin' Boy,+ the guys that made that song

They lookin like no second single +Lookin' Boys+

And lemme say this, don't it feel good

To say BIG UPS - TO ALL MY HAAATERS!!

The beef gotta stop, G

Fif', you runnin out of people man why you pickin on Rocsi?

The "Baby Mama" came out

And we ain't never find out who really burned down the house

Rick Ross took it too far

Was it me, or he was the biggest C.O. that we seen thus far?

I'm just askin

And Bow Wow got his ass handed to a him in a game of Madden

You wanna know what's funny? (What?)

They showed this to Game, but they ain't never say who got that money

Heh, the system is filthy, for real G

How the hell R. Kelly come up not guilty?

I can't believe he walkin, on TV

Talkin 'bout ("When you say teenager, how old are we talking?")

Wayne sold +A Milli+ in a week

And in seven days, I got sick of the "A Milli" beat

Da Brat doin time served

And '08, was almost a good year for ya man Yung berg

Between fights and his fanbase, he needed some help

Then his chain went on tour, by itself

Will Smith got Hollywood on smash

Puff, you a millionaire man, why you cryin 'bout gas?

Katt Williams, he went nuts

And the econmoy was harder than McCain tryin to put his arms up

And Palin, I ain't gon' discuss her

Heh, she prol'ly on the porch now, tryin to look at Russia

And Kanye, he went for broke

Maybe the album should've been called, "808 and No High Notes"

Heh, naw he doin his thang

Is it hard to fight paparazzi when you got on skinny jeans?

Nelly and Usher couldn't find their fans

Superhead said, "I'm pregnant" - I'm like by who, the pregnant man?!

T.I. got back in gear

Beyonce "Single Ladies" - mmm, "Video of the Year"

Heh, it had the guys gettin hyped together

I hope DMX finally get his life together

Man, we got to kill all the drama

Biggest moment EVER - Barack Obama ("Yes, we can!")

First black president, please believe it

I'm just happy that my granny got a chance to see it

It's time for a change

So don't gon' try to turn the inauguration into a All Star Game

Let's act right, and show these kids

We can turn "Yes, we can!" into "Yes, we did!"

And Bush made it hard

Be patient, let that man go into the White House and do his job

Black athletes, y'all gotta parle

Don't play, you saw how they came back for O.J

The economy, that's a wrap no doubt

The whole world in debt, how the hell you bail that out?

Halle Berry, she had a baby on the low

The best thing on TV was Keyshia Cole show

Lookin good, Keyshia, but don't thank me

You ain't the star of the show, that would be Frankie

("HOLLAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" "Man down!")

It's a +Crazy World+, Jeezy told ya son

"Crazy World?" I wonder where he got that from?

I gotta say it, cause he influenced the game

But I gotta give props to the boy T-Pain

And y'all in his lane

With songs like ("OHHHHHHHH!!!!! We pop champagne!")

So I'mma say this quick - (We in a recession!)

Stop lyin, y'all ain't poppin shhhh!

And President Bush so hated

He wnet to Iraq and almost got a-shoe-sinated

Heh, so I'mma shout out to board

And shout out to err'body upstairs who ain't wit us no more

So y'all stay on your grind

Ya boy Skillz, welcome to the two-thousand and nine

(NINE!! NINE! Nine! nine!)
