 | Mad Skillz - Ghost Writer 
 First of all, I ain't even want to make this shit
 There's a lot of rap cats out here faking the shit
 I'm a ghostwriter, I'm the cat that you don't see
 I write hits for rappers you like and charge 'em a fee
 Yo don't get me wrong dog, it's the cheddar that counts
 But fuck that nigga ______ cause his fucking check bounced
 You thought ______ your single was hot?
 I wrote that shit five minutes in a parking lot
 I'm the one that your man ______ had to go and get
 Cause he smoked too much lye, couldn't write his own shit
 Now ______ A&R, he on my answering machine sick
 Hollaring in my phone, "Skillz, can you write to this?"
 Sure, for stacks, nigga, I make your act bigger
 But fuck ______ and his whole label cause I ain't never get
 my plaque, nigga
 Jadakiss told y'all cats and that's that
 Y'all have a ASCAP or get your ass capped
 
 People where talking about rjd2's "Ghostwriter" in another
 thread and it reminded me of this one.
 I wonder wich rap artists isn't writing their own rhymes ?
 To bad the track is cencoured.
 Do you know of any scandals or rumors related to this ?

 | It could be Mad Skillz lying to boost his own profile... remember, RDJ claims to of written several top 40 pop songs.

 | Well most rap lyrics are exaggerated to ridicilous heights but there must be some level of truth in there i think.

 | well I remember puff daddy was the one whose check bounced, which reminded me of his line "don't worry if I write
 rhymes, I write checks." probably a response to this song.

 | It's true.  There are a couple of other artists who have been burnt this way too, Chino XL being one of them.
 Underground MC's have often been asked to ghostwrite with
 the promise of record deals and stuff, but it all comes to
 nothing if that label doesn't feel as though they can market
 them.
 
 Puffy has his stuff written for him as does Dr Dre.  In fact
 it is common knowledge that a lot of the major artists have
 had a lot of material written for them by Del.
