Skillibeng Drops Loaded Lyrics In Response to Alkaline’s ‘Sell Off’
Key Points(5)
  • It seems Alkaline was able to wake up Skillibeng or he fell for the deejay’s bait, as the very harsh and prompt composition of ‘Mission’, hears the Eastsyde deejay spitting without care or concern for what could come next.
  • His detailed descriptions of death and destruction leave very little to one’s colorful imagination.
  • The response with its well-loaded ammunition isn’t a surprise to fans of the Eastsyde; they believe Skillibenf is just getting heated for more impenetrable executions.
  • “We nah go done run off yuh mouth, a war yuh need mi rise mi ting we nah guh run”- are some of the less graphic phrases the songwriter quickly warns in the second verse.
