Artist | Ghostface Killah |
Album | Fishscale |
Release Date | 2006-03-28 |
Description | Third track on the album FishScale, which dropped in 2006. The album was popular both saleswise and especially with critics. This is probably one of the more popular songs on the album, though it was not a single. The track refers to a kilogram of cocaine. It shows how when you deal at the level of kilos you’re in the big time. The lyrics are primarily concerned with distinguishing the big time game from the small time. You ain’t dealing with that little shit no more. More drugs, more money, more risk, more glory, more pussy. Everything is amped. |
