Scrilla Mac

[Jkobe Peoples]

Theremix to the song, which can be found on the CD single known as the "Bay Ballas Remix", features an extensive list of artists from the Bay Area including original collaborator Michael Marshall on the chorus, Dru Down, E-40, Richie Rich, Shock G, and Spice 1.

I'm starting to feel my scrilla

But perhaps today my scrilla ain't feeling me

For the simple fact that I'm off to the track with hella fools, B

Pockets empty, pitching 5, man I'm dusted

Took off my hat, passed it around, man sprinkle me

It's likely that 'scrilla' is a variation of 'scratch' in much the same way that Snoop Dogg (and many others) used '-izzle' to modify words (e.g. 'dizzle' instead of 'deal').

And, while E-40 has been cited as an early user of both the -izzle suffix and the -illa suffix, he's not the first to use either.

According to this blog entry, the word supposedly comes from "scroll" which was the ancient medium (although clay tablets were also used by some cultures) for record keeping by scribes. Accounting scribes would record the work or barter performed by someone on a scroll, so that any disputes (or owed taxes) could be settled without issue.
