[Chorus: E.D.I.]
We goin' all out, bomb first 'til they fall out
Take them the war route, without✦ a doubt
Ball, which means we all ride if it's on
Each nigga✦ handle your own, bring it on strong
If you got bills to pay, nigga,✦ go all out
Bustas✦ playin' with your papes✦ better✦ go all out
Tryna✦ see the next day, nigga,✦ go all out
Obstacles✦ in your way, you better✦ go all out
[Verse 2: Napoleon]
I'm on my last leg, walkin'✦ through the belly✦ of the beast
Feelin'✦ like I'm all out, drunk as can be
It's plain to see, but when mob niggas✦ hidin'✦ in bushes✦
Claimin' that they ride rough, but softer✦ than cushion
They softer✦ than bitches in the worst way, drownin' in blood
Outlawz, my blood brothers, I die for these thugs
Say hi to these slug
It's a shame how some niggas✦ on the West Coast
Was ridin'✦ with Pac, but when he died they went pop
I'm out in Jers, to the fullest, like some West Coast love
But after✦ Pac stopped rappin',✦ it ain't no West Coast thug
Just West Coast, slut, to my real niggas✦ stuck in the street game
‘Cause rappers like Jay-Z be pumpin'✦ Kool-Aid through they veins
Is it true what I'm sayin'? Slap your soft ass to the floor
And watch my fo'-fo'✦ put peek holes✦ through your door
I ride or die, but these other✦ fag niggas✦ be bitin'✦ this
It's all from my heart when I was writin'✦ this; all out!
[Chorus: E.D.I.]
We goin' all out, bomb first 'til they fall out
Take them the war route, without✦ a doubt
Ball, which means we all ride if it's on
Each nigga✦ handle your own, bring it on strong
If you got bills to pay, nigga,✦ go all out
Bustas✦ playin' with your papes✦ better✦ go all out
Tryna✦ see the next day, nigga,✦ go all out
Obstacles✦ in your way, you better✦ go all out
[Verse 3: Kastro]
Now, we all ride, and down to die — who with us?
Speak up or get treated like you comin'✦ to kill us
They ain’t nothin'✦ but squealers
In this rap game, swearin'✦ they rough
Tattooed up, and now them niggas✦ swearin'✦ they Pac
Stop that, and watch your back, we ain't forgot✦ 'bout ya
These Glocks hot, and when shot it'll bring the bitch up out ya
It's me, Kastro✦ with the goattee, walkin'✦ like a OG
‘Cause all these fag motherfuckers✦ owe me
I pray to thug lords like them motherfuckers✦ holy✦
Frontline soldier 'til the Heavens call me
I go all out, and if you real, you real
Feel what I'm talkin'✦ 'bout ‘cause this game is ill
I live it, forbidden fruit, shoot 'til they feel it
Livin'✦ proof, Pac breed niggas✦ they can't deal with
Holla✦ back, right back, and watch your mouth
Or get blood in it, what! We goin' all out, nigga!✦
[Chorus: E.D.I.]
We goin' all out, bomb first 'til they fall out
Take them the war route, without✦ a doubt
Ball, which means we all ride if it's on
Each nigga✦ handle your own, bring it on strong
If you got bills to pay, nigga,✦ go all out
Bustas✦ playin' with your papes✦ better✦ go all out
Tryna✦ see the next day, nigga,✦ go all out
Obstacles✦ in your way, you better✦ go all out
[Outro: E.D.I.]
Fool, you better✦ go all out
Keep goin' all out
All my niggas✦ goin' all out
Without✦ a muthafuckin'✦ doubt
Ayy, you niggas✦ just gon' think you gon' be uhh
Talkin'✦ slick on all of these motherfuckin'✦ records
And we ain't gon say shit
Now it's 1999, it's a different grind
Don't disrespect the Don
It's still war, motherfuckers✦
So let's see you act like you know

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Napoleon utilizes a direct, high-intensity delivery style characteristic of the Death Row/Outlawz era, prioritizing raw emotional conviction and confrontational rhetoric over dense lyrical abstraction.

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"pumpin' Kool-Aid through they veins"
① The literal sugary drink, implying the rappers are fake or childish.② A symbolic reference to being diluted, lacking the grit or 'blood' of a true street survivor.
"went pop"
① The action of disappearing or ceasing to be relevant.② A pejorative reference to transitioning into 'Pop music' and abandoning street credibility.
Authentic emotional projection
Strong rhythmic consistency
Effective use of the 'Outlaw' persona to drive narrative weight
Over-reliance on aggressive tropes rather than nuanced wordplay
The 'Kool-Aid' metaphor lacks significant depth or secondary meaning
Occasional forced rhymes to maintain the 'out' phoneme scheme
