[Intro - Skillz - talking]

Uh, uh, the '09 Rap Up ('09 Rap Up)

Yeah, uh, check, yo, yo

I'm 'bout to put this thing in gear

'09's outta here

2010 is in the building, time for a new year (yep!)

Your boy Skillz's back on his grind

Let's run it back and recap 2009

[Verse 1 - Skillz]

D.C. starts off the conversation

Cause we was in yo' town for the inauguration

We froze are asses off but it wasn't just me

That was a small price to pay to see history

Biggie's movie came out and got shine

Ne-Yo and Jim Jones got to scrappin up in Louis Vuitton

TVs went digital, the government's lame

Y'all bought them boxes, to me this shit still look the same

And I don't care about the fate of Jon and Kate

You feel sorry for anybody it should be the plus eight

Havin seven siblings can't be calm

But I'll take twenty of 'em before I take one Octomom

50 and Rick Ross, that's a new level of beefin

LeBron got dunked on and he ain't want us to see it

The news of Chris and Rihanna, broke in the street

T-Pain got on that golf cart and broke some teeth

Tiny and Toya got a show, that's crazy

Tiny you gonna get a second season? (yeah babe)

Run-D.M.C. they got they own street

And Jojo got caught tryin to spark that leaf

Man the game is bananas

For playin hip-hop, Me and Jazzy Jeff got kicked out of Kansas

Rick Ross shades was phony and fake

Enter a newcomer by the name of Drake

The industry got to get it in gear

Cause it's bad when a mixtape is really the album of the year

And his vid' wasn't bad but I was mad at them breast I never had

(Uh, breast I never had, uh)

Eminem and Mariah, sounded bitter

And we all took to this new thing called Twitter

Where you can follow peeps just to see what they say

And if you wanna you can follow me @SkillzVA

Bernie Madoff, he was playin for keeps

Amber Rose became famous without havin to speak

Black Eyed Peas rolled deep (uh huh)

They blacked Perez Hilton's eye and made him pee in the middle of the street

Lil Wayne did it big

He said he wanted to F +Every Girl In The World+ and I think he did

Chris Brown, now that's my guy (uh huh)

But how he do an interview and all y'all notice is the bow tie?

The media went hard

Chris you want us to forget, just say what really happened in the car

Rihanna she kept quiet

Until she had an album to sell but we still ain't buy it (nope)

Mike Vick and A.I., back in action

And we was shocked by the loss of Mr. Michael Jackson

I never thought that star would fall to the ground

Mike was huge, the news shut the Internet down

Through your music, you'll live on my friend

And I know we'll never see a talent like you again

I gotta man up, cause even I was a fan of

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta"

I loved Kandi's song

But that Kim? (that's a dirty, low down monkey with a wig on)

+Tardy For The Party+ brought us some joy

But it never left the ground, just like the "Balloon Boy"

And to the parents, I'm gonna say "why lie?"

You named him Falcon but that ain't mean he can fly

Far as R&B goes, Trey Songz's the guy

And I'm a grown man but I'm scared of Lady Gaga

Drake's knee kept sayin "hey bro, just sit"

And Kanye snatched the mic from Taylor Swift

Then the world couldn't stand him

(I'm, I'm really happy for you, I'm a let you finish, I'm a let you finish)

Man I think he planned that

The government, yeah they think they slick

What happened to "Cash And Clunkers? That shit came and went

"The Hangover", was funny as hell

And so are the rappers, who couldn't stay they ass out of jail

Jay-Z went on Oprah and hit number one

She gave out a lot of chicken but she ain't give him none

H1N1 is causin drama

And we was all shakin our heads at Lil Mama

Like, why was you on stage? Nobody gave you a cue

And with a head that big, you should have thought that through

Nicki Minaj gave female MCs some help

But if she signed your boobs, you should be ashamed of yourself

Whitney Houston got back to workin

And kids came up with this thing called jerkin

Where you take dance and rap and combine the two

News flash, come on son, that ain't nothin new

Nas and Kelis they couldn't get that thing back

Diddy holla at me if you want that ring back

Jamie he blamed it on the alcohol

And maybe that's what made J-Lo fall

Health care got passed and that's what's good

But the "Idiot Of The Year" is Tiger Woods (it's uh, it's Tiger)

Could you say fail?

Who else is named Tiger? Why would you leave your name on the voicemail?

He changed the game I suppose

It's nothin, who would thought he was puttin 18 holes?

T.I. came home after 7 months

I can't watch Mo'Nique's show cause she yell too much

And we mourned this year, I got to say

Every other day, somebody passed away

Mr. Magic, Roc Raida, my man Baatin

Darian (ah, yeah) and my friend AM

It was a very sad year, to say the least

So to everybody we lost, rest in peace

Uh, ya boy Skillz and I did it again

Welcomin y'all to two thousand and ten (*echo*)
