Silk Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kojey Radical]
I woke up like there's nothin' they could do with me
Went to sleep half drunk, still got the juice in me
Usually wouldn't televise but they glued to me
Truthfully, nothin' come new to me
Nothin' feel like news to me
Someone said I'm underrated, that was news to me
'Cause the fam' eat good and sleep beautifully

If you think them boy better then prove it to me
Bring nothin' to the table, you ain't choosin' a seat
Take tequila with a mixer if ya needed it sweet
Just dial 1-800 and say you know me
Humble flex, yeah, I know but they needed to see
I ain't one of these other brother's that they tryin' to be
Imitation a flattery, baby, what sound better?
Like gettin' a new Chanel with the off-brand leather
I might get the old Chanel with the cashmere sweater
Had to roll up the sleeves so the drip drop better
Even in gridlock, don't shit stop
Any time I spin out, my lowest was just a pit stop
They can say they built for the journey until they flip-flop
The long road ain't build for us all, it's a distance
A lot of man ain't built for the war, it's a mismatch
A war that they rage on us all, show resistance
Maybe my intentions were pure
But the way the boy cook up, they ain't servin' this raw
Facts
[Pre-Chorus: Kojey Radical]
Overlooked me, underrated, overtook me
Overpatience, had enough
Humble maybe, mama raised me
Jah, protect me, lift me up
Angels blessed me, know they hear me, know they hear me
Got the love
Know they feel me, know they need me, know they see me
Can't give up
Fuck the pressure, dealt with pressure, beat the pressure
In-out the rough
Angels blessed me, know they hear me, know they hear me
Got the love
Know they feel me, know they need me, know they see me
Can't give up (I know they see me)

[Chorus: Masego]
I feel like silk
Smooth, sexy, handsome, classy
Don't nothin' faze me when
I feel like silk
Smooth, sexy, handsome, classy
Don't nothin' faze me when
I feel like me (Silky)
I feel like silk (Ooh-ah, silky)
I feel like (Silk)
[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]
Can I talk my shit, baby? (Speak to me)
I go by many names (Oh)
Kojey Accolades
Pablo Eskojey
Houdini Kojini
Luther Vankojey
And Sir William Radical
(Goddamn)
But I would love nothin' more than to introduce someone equally as stupendous (Yeah)
Please take it away

[Verse 3: Masego, Kojey Radical]
Yeah, on my mama, on my hood
I look fly, I look good
And I been sippin' on my tea, stoned
Just touched down in London Heathrow (Why?)
Because of the women, 'cause of the thrift stores
Mix that with the designer
And I'm her desire
GQ's callin' me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like 2016
They wasn't hittin' me up, they wasn't givin' the green
I am M-A-S-E-G (What else?)-O
Uh
And what you feel like, baby?

[Chorus: Masego]
I feel like silk
Smooth, sexy, handsome, classy
Don't nothin' faze me when
I feel like silk
Smooth, sexy, handsome, classy
Don't nothin' faze me when
I feel like me (Silky)
I feel like silk (Ooh-ah, silky)
I feel like silk

What did Kojey Radical say about "Silk"?
Genius Answer

Kojey Radical:

I was just rapping it on Instagram live. Literally, just more or less on the spot, I was freestyling and then midway through I just cut the live off. Then I sent it to Masego and he sent me back a verse in like two hours. And I was like… maybe this is a bit too good. I remember texting my team, then shortly after that I started the album. But I think what stood out to me about that beat was that it didn’t sound like a beat, I don’t really like beats. It’s very rare that I’ll get a beat and like it.

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

I remember being on Instagram live pretty much every day just interacting with fans, telling people to send me music and I’m just gonna record songs on Instagram live. Namali from Blue Lab Beats came on, he said that he had a beat pack for me, so he sent me the pack. I was listening to it and the last song was the beat for “Silk”.
