[Verse 2: Turk]
You want war, nigga,✦ let's beef... beef
We can do it how ya want, or take it to tha streets... streets
I'll be dressed in camouflage, Ree's on my feet
Through your air (through your air) leave ya burnin'✦ like heat
What ya..ain't know? I'm tha one from tha T.C
Chopper shooter, block bruiser, I'll bet any✦ G (any✦ G)
On fire, nigga,✦ labeled as a HB
And if I can't kill you.. killin'✦ your family✦ (family)✦
Think it's a game, 'rilla,✦ test my nuts, you'll see
How fast I send shots through your 6V (6V)
Heads bust if ya really✦ think it's CMB
And I know you all know about✦ Slim and B
We get our ball on, nigga,✦ drink Cristy✦
Me and Buck get head from meekos in Tennessee
Betta✦ ask somebody, nigga,✦ I been a G
And Baby✦ still servin'✦ niggas✦ for ten a key... nigga✦
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Aw, aw, aw, look
Call me Big Baller,✦ Big Tymer,✦ Big Pockets
Call me Big Stunna,✦ Big Stick, or Big Body✦
Call me that lil nigga✦ with the rope full of diamonds
Call me the number✦ one Hot Boy on fire
Fire, when you shoot outta✦ town, then I'mma✦ holler✦
With a crate of Crystile, couple of blunts, and a condom
Let him know if (let him know if) he down bad, that ain't my problem
Let him know if he come at me bad, then I'mma✦ chop him
Ch-uh.. chop him
Put tha flame to him
All of a sudden✦ tha thing hits straight through him
Cause I'm tha same nigga,✦ pimper✦ boy, Lil' Wayne
Thugged out, pants fall to my shoe strings
But since I usually... do the best at thangs
That mean I gotta✦ wear a vest at thangs
I really✦ think them niggas✦ jealous... of tha sparkle in my necklace
Yall ain't ready..✦ yall ain't ready✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne relies on a repetitive, declarative cadence that functions more as a rhythmic branding exercise than a display of complex lyrical acrobatics, aligning with the Cash Money aesthetic of the late 90s.

Rhyme Architecture: A rigid AAAA structure centered on the suffix '-ot/-ock' phonetics ('Pockets', 'Body', 'Diamonds', 'Fire', 'Holler'—with the final lines loosening into slant rhymes), emphasizing the heavy percussive 'O' and 'I' sounds typical of Wayne's early flow.
