[Verse 2]
Before✦ I lay me down to sleep, I pray and thank the Lord
For givin'✦ me another fruitful day
I wanna✦ be a peaceful man, but still when niggas✦ come for me
All I can see is gettin'✦ 'em killed✦
For real, it's how I feel
Reflect my thoughts, flowin'✦ on these reels
Make my enemies deal with my steel; they caps peeled✦
We still cool, but you played yourself
Give him the MAC and make him spray hisself, hey
Fallin'✦ legends clutchin' chrome three-five-seven
Puttin'✦ two bullets to they dome, wanted✦ to die in Heaven✦
Why call in shots? Nobody✦ really✦ as clear as me
Ain't tryin' to help the feds get a case for conspiracy
Murder,✦ my foes get disposed of
We all homies✦ to the death, so my true niggas✦ show me love
God, forgive✦ me for my lifestyle, a negative✦ figure✦
But why they fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦
You know?
[Chorus]
It's like
Why you fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga?✦
[Verse 3]
I was raised✦ by thugs, schooled by killers
Learned my mathematics skills from real drug dealers
Tried to rise, but they tried me
I guess they all had to die, ‘cause we tried peace, I die in these streets
Blast 'til they recognize✦
Still do or die, all my niggas✦ gettin'✦ high, watchin' time fly
Best strategize✦ on the way to profit✦
Best organize✦ how you ride, so they can't stop it
Then keep it poppin',✦ lot of busters wanna✦ see me fall
I fucked✦ your bitch, and now this new shit, gon', fade 'em all
My niggas✦ ball, made a call for some back-up
The lil' homies✦ and my dogs in the black truck
"Buck buck" was the sound as they gats burst
No need for ambulance, baby,✦ bring the black hearse
Should've never✦ fucked✦ around,✦ buster✦
How you figure✦ makin'✦ moves✦ on the wrong nigga✦
[Chorus]
It's what it sounds like, ding ding ding
When you fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦
Niggas✦ gettin'✦ hit, when they fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦
Fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Give him the MAC and make him spray hisself"

① The literal act of handing an associate a firearm to execute a target.② A play on the 'played yourself' line immediately preceding, suggesting the target's own actions force their violent end.

"Reflect my thoughts, flowin' on these reels"

① The literal recording tape in a studio setting.② The idea of his life's experiences 'reeling' out or playing back like a film script.

Exceptional command of rhythmic pocket

Thematic consistency bridging religious guilt and violent necessity

Powerful, resonant vocal presence

Relies heavily on genre-standard tropes rather than abstract complexity

Some internal logic gaps regarding the 'conspiracy' line versus the open threat
