Want to be in my next video?
Here’s your chance to be a part of the next Rocky video!
Submission Deadline: March 1, 2012What we have planned:
A video that celebrates the “every day” GRLZ in Hip Hop! This isn’t about the glamour and glitz, it’s a video about who Rocky’s friends and fans are and how we are all bonded through our own personal representations in Hip Hop
What we need:
- A usable 30-second video clip submission in the highest-quality possible (PhotoBooth, any 5+MP camera is fine) with you bouncing around and singing along to this energetic and cheeky song. Lyrics are below and you can DL the song for free HERE. Preferably we’d like one solo shot with adequate lighting (no audio necessary), but if you have friends with you, the more the merrier! (as long as we get your solo shot too).
- Also, feel free to reply with your Twitter name so we can put it up!
THIS IS OPEN TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST MY LADY FANS!!! (Actually, I think it’d be hilarious to see some guys up in here)
***PLEASE SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO INFO [AT] ROCKYRIVERA [DOT] COM in a COMPRESSED MPEG file or through a FILE-SHARING SITE such as DROPBOX, HULKSHARE or YOUSENDIT. LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Next time you invite a couple of your homies over, pop open a bottle of wine/beer (if you’re old enough), light up that doobie (if you have a card) and HAVE FUN to MY SONG!!!! I want people to know how awesome and lovely my fans are and what it would be like to have you all in ONE ROOM. ROCKY SOLDIERS! MOUNT UP! Show me what you got!!!
Lyrics for GRLZ
Verse:
Rock from the block
Hittin’, I never stop
Killin’ em with the flow
Givin’ em all I got
Gunnin’ after ya spot
You can sit back and watch
Imma be the “IT” girl
Always been the shit, girl
Get it from my mama, real prima donna
Queen of the Kush, I’m a marijuana farmer
(Bad) Ain’t no MC quite like me
But the boys only want one thing…and that’s
Chorus
GRLZ! (Hey hey)
Verse:
So sick wit my GRLZ
Do you like a Tarantino flick wit my GRLZ
Yeah I share my lipstick wit my GRLZ
But I’ll never start a fight over dick wit my GRLZ
And “I got it” like pop fly
Why his daughter so bad? (Ask my Pop why)
I got my rhymes on, and my shine on
R. Kelly’s wanna get they Bump and Grind on…
Guaranteed it’s going down
Roza on the table wit that rude gyal sound
Irie on the microphone bout to put it down
So it’s GRLZ, GRLZ, GRLZ when we come into your town
Chorus
Irie Verse:
When Irie step up in the place, she turn that SWAG on
Dip ya hats low, and ya cocks in atten-tion
Your lips are saying “wassup”
Your mind is saying “let’s fuck”
I see right through ya, boo
And what you got ain’t nothin’ new
Buckshots and paper rolls
Turf possums and dirty hoes
I’ll never fuck wit a n*gga that put that
Dirty White Girl
All in his nose
You see me shining, doing the impossible
Double-check your list and
I bet you I’m on top o’ dem
You say you Boss (biiitch)?
Wait hold up…
Isn’t that a G-Shock? You need to STOP
I see you posin’ and I’m knockin’ you like dominoes
Time stay tickin’ so I gotta say ADIOS

Absolutely crazy about this new track from the Lovers Rocker Courtney John. “Very Special” is a game changer. Pay attention!
One of the tightest producers I know. Go on SicksentZ!
Peace to HIgh Rez on visuals from the Brook,
Peace to non subliminals, criminals, and hooks,
Peace to inner solace,
Peace to outer balance,
Peace to inner ignorant childishness and violent shit,
Forgive us for our indecency, we’re so fond of it……
Peel Off
