[Verse 1]

I know you're tired of bouncing so check this here

We got the neck-breaking, club-shaking beat for this year

Yeah, so peep the steelo and the flow

I got your head nodding 'cause your neck already knows

So pass the mic and watch Skillz rip fast

And have niggas up in parties catching whiplash

Slash the wack who tryna bite my style

Take your ass to the old school and part your fucking eyebrows

I'm coming through duke, it's 'bout to get set

So act like Wu, protect that neck

Eject? Wrong, I'm still tending to the song

I be blowing up spots like I was sending out mail bombs

Stay calm and keep nodding see

I'm like a black president (why?) 'cause niggas ain't seeing me

Hasbeens ripped off like bad skin so face it

After this joint we passing out some neck braces


[Hook]

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that


[Verse 2]

My tracks pack energy like nuclear reactors

I be Mad Skillz and this be the Nod Factor

Actor MCs smoke me take a toke

I'll fuck your career like the cast on Diff'rent Strokes

No jokes, I see hairlines and start aiming rhymes

My shit'll have hard niggas in Soul Train lines

Bumping with the big black broad named Belinda

Oh you rap? Don't say jack and walk quiet like a ninja

I injure beats so you should expect

To go to Cairo so I can practice checking that neck

You got set and guess what, I'm the one that set it

You'll regret it 'cause my beats be employing paramedics

I wet it, yeah and it'll stay that way

I know you'll be back, you probably got some rhymes on lay away

But I be here freaking fat funk to make you sweat

Do me a favor and tell your neck that I ain't finished yet


[Hook]

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that

I got your head nodding cause your neck knows it's phat

Check it out like this and then like that


[Verse 3]

I perfect raps to get under your skin

If you ain't nodding by now, either you dead or a mannequin

My friend, resisting ain't good for your health

Put your 'tude on the shelf and just go for self

Get help, get a drink and get a hottie

Get your groove on before he get his Glock and gat up the party

Like Gotti, I'm running things from the inside

Rap better wake because your style done died

Electric Company, Spiderman MCs saying nothing

Put your clothes on backwards if you feel like fronting

I'm hunting for beats on point like cleets

With a brand new sound you can pump in the streets

It be the Nod Factor, rolling hard like Tecs

I'm Skillz for real bringing it to you something stank

This track will be in your ear like new wax

Now max and tell your neck veins to relax


[Hook]
