[Verse 2: Yaki Kadafi]

Verbal^✦ assassin, I hit the corner^✦ fast, blastin'

Hot plastic^✦ stretch your chest plate back like elastic^✦

No need to push me to split ya, I love beef

Like pussy^✦ and pistols, for all you pussies^✦ that's softer^✦ than tissue

I ride by like the fall guy out the roof

Bustin'^✦ at you Wise Guy, gettin'^✦ high, sippin'^✦ hundred proof (yeah)

Give me the joints low to verdict wit' mine

Get that ass attacked, murdered, and robbed,^✦ blind from behind^✦

Rapid^✦ shots pourin',^✦ catchin' niggas^✦ while they snorin'^✦

Kickin'^✦ his door in, I'll leave your whole fuckin'^✦ family^✦ in mournin'

Bust me, you itchy-bitchy types^✦ can't touch me

Frontin' like you're hard, I'll play your fuckin'^✦ yard like a trussle

[[Chorus: 2Pac]

What you gon' do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna^✦ buy me a gun

Then what's next? Food and sex

House parties^✦ in the projects,^✦ we goin' all night

What you gon' do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna^✦ buy me a gun

Then what's next? Food and sex

House parties^✦ in the projects,^✦ we goin' all night](3236024)

[Verse 3: E.D.I Amin]

At times,^✦ I look through times^✦ wit' so much anger^✦

Wonderin' why it keeps on passin',^✦ pushin'^✦ me into^✦ danger^✦

No stranger to hard times^✦ or the good ones,^✦ at times^✦ I'm amazed^✦

At what the motherfuckin' hoods done, what we do to get paid

All day, for the almighty, dollar

Don't even^✦ bother^✦ to holla,^✦ we all destined to be swallowed^✦

By the same thing we lust for, threw away^✦ our morals

And values^✦ and dust more, niggas^✦ is dying tomorrow

We — bailing on borrowed^✦ times,^✦ nigga^✦ the clocks tickin'^✦

Approachin' is the day you gonna^✦ need money^✦ or Glocks spittin'

Cops sittin',^✦ politicians passin'^✦ laws you ain't know what

Soon that money^✦ gon' be illegal when you die to keep your dough up

But I ain't goin' tell you "What?" To stop chasin'^✦ paper^✦

Man, I'm just like y'all, I worry^✦ 'bout that shit later^✦

Put the metal^✦ to the pedal,^✦ slash up nigga,^✦ blaze

Let's get blowed^✦ out high speed 'til the end of my days

Now my people say

[[Chorus: 2Pac]

What you gon' do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna^✦ buy me a gun

Then what's next? Food and sex

House parties^✦ in the projects,^✦ we goin' all night

What you gon' do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna^✦ buy me a gun

Then what's next? Food and sex

House parties^✦ in the projects,^✦ we goin' all night](3236024)

What you gon' do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna^✦ buy me a gun

Then what's next? Food and sex

House parties^✦ in the projects,^✦ we goin' all night

What you gon' do when you get out of jail?

I'm gonna^✦ buy me a gun

Then what's next? Food and sex

House parties^✦ in the projects,^✦ we goin' all night

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Kadafi exhibits a raw, high-intensity delivery that prioritizes percussive internal rhyme chains over deep metaphorical complexity, consistent with mid-90s Death Row/Outlawz aesthetic norms.

Delivery

Multisyllabic internal rhymingAssonance-heavy phrasingAggressive enjambmentDynamic cadence variation

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on dense, multi-syllabic internal rhymes (e.g., 'fast, blastin'/plastic/elastic') that create a driving, propulsive momentum, typical of the 1996 era.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"stretch your chest plate back like elastic"

① Physical description of a body being impacted by gunfire causing clothes to stretch.② A metaphor for the fragility of the human body compared to synthetic materials like elastic.

"I love beef / Like pussy and pistols"

① A provocative list of personal desires.② Using the literal 'beef' (meat) to create a phonetic connection to the street slang 'beef' (conflict/violence) alongside the objects mentioned.

High rhythmic consistency and internal rhyme density

Aggressive, high-energy vocal delivery

Effective use of assonant vowel sounds to link lines together

Surface-level thematic focus on violence lacking deeper subtext

Occasional reliance on genre-standard tropes (e.g., 'softer than tissue')

Limited semantic variance beyond the established 'gangsta' persona
