Ski Mask the Slump God, “Bird Is The Word”
My pockets look like it got cancer / Gears of War I got a Retro Lancer / Put the bayonet in ‘em he turned dancer / Callin’ yo bitch my dear like her name Prancer
Ski Mask the Slump God has his fair share of hits and misses throughout his discography and career (he was close with maligned rapper XXXTentacion), but “Bird Is The Word” is absolute fire. The beat gets your toe tapping out the gate, and then Ski Mask’s slightly slurring, playful bars come in. I’m a Gears of War apologist (I played more Gears 3 than I’d like to admit), so I’ll always get excited about a little Retro Lancer love. Plus there’s a Christmas joke thrown in there, too!
