[Verse 2]
And I'll be stayin' strapped✦
My Mac-11 make my nuts bigger✦
I keep my finger✦ on the trigger for you jealous niggas✦
Wonder✦ why a motherfuckers✦ nutty,✦ and why I'm up worried
When I see a cemetery full of dead buddies
Mama✦ told me "son, don't lie"
And Mama's✦ in the back smokin'✦ crack and a nigga✦ wanna✦ die
Can't cry cause I'm loc'd up
Choked✦ up, nigga✦ puffing on that indo✦ getting fucked✦ up
And in the back of my mind, I know I'm wrong
Alcohol make a young motherfucker think he ballin'✦
Collect calls to my old bitches,✦ send more pictures
On the phone, tryin' to bone cause I miss ya
Back on the streets I'm losin'✦ focus
I'm hopeless, homies✦ dyin' over✦ small time dope shit
Keep my finger✦ on my Mac man
The crack game ain't shit
Niggas✦ trippin'✦ in this rap game, bury✦ me a G
[Hook]
I ain't got time for bitches✦
Gotta✦ keep my mind on my motherfuckin'✦ riches✦
Even✦ when I die, they won't worry✦ me
Mama✦ don't cry, bury✦ me a G
I ain't got time for bitches✦
Gotta✦ keep my mind on my motherfuckin'✦ riches✦
Even✦ when I die, they won't worry✦ me
Mama✦ don't cry, bury✦ me a G
[Verse 3]
So you wanna✦ make a million?
And motherfuckers✦ catchin' drug cases✦
I place my Glock outside my waist and keep a thug face
Even✦ on a good day!, gotta✦ stay strapped✦
Livin'✦ in my hood, hey!
Niggas✦ will spray caps
And everybody wanna✦ go to heaven,✦ don't nobody✦ wanna✦ pray
So I stay clutchin' on my AK
Murderin' niggas✦ that oppose✦ me
That's how it goes, you motherfuckers✦ try to play me and the homies✦
Time to make my get-away✦
I hid away✦ in the backstreets✦
Couldn't let the police✦ jack me
Gotta✦ be quiet, I'm on the down low
I got that ya-yo movin'✦ by the pound so
When the police✦ try me out, fuck the judge
Got a homie that'll bond me out, straight love
Keep my finger✦ on my Mac man
The crack game ain't shit
Niggas✦ trippin'✦ in this rap game, bury✦ me a G
[Hook]
I ain't got time for bitches✦
Gotta✦ keep my mind on my motherfuckin'✦ riches✦
Even✦ when I die, they won't worry✦ me
Mama✦ don't cry, bury✦ me a G
I ain't got time for bitches✦
Gotta✦ keep my mind on my motherfuckin'✦ riches✦
Even✦ when I die, they won't worry✦ me
Mama✦ don't cry, bury✦ me a G
[Verse 4]
Stuck on fool, Tanqueray✦ got a nigga✦ high
Lord knows I don't need another✦ DUI
I lead a Thug Life, heartless hustler
Just cause I fucked,✦ don't mean I trust her
Now my pagers vibratin', can't sleep
So I'm mobbin'✦ to the ho's house, bumpin'✦ Isley✦
"Is it cool to fuck?" That's what I'm askin'✦
Bitch recognized game and started laughin'
Now I'm all in the guts and shit
Prayin' that a nigga✦ don't nut too quick
Cause I'll fuck and get up, I'll let you know
I'll be a 10 minute✦ brother✦ for a $2 ho
Lots of hoes gettin'✦ mad as shit
I let a trick be a trick, you can have that bitch
Keep my finger✦ on my Mac man
The crack game ain't shit
Niggas✦ trippin'✦ in this rap game, bury✦ me a G
[Hook]

Rhyme Architecture: The verse employs a high-density AABB and AAAA multisyllabic structure, heavily reliant on internal rhymes and assonance to maintain the propulsion of the West Coast G-Funk tempo.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"My Mac-11 make my nuts bigger"
① The weapon provides a sense of physical protection and status in the street environment.② The phallic symbolism of the weapon equates firearm possession with sexualized concepts of masculinity/bravado.
"Can't cry cause I'm loc'd up / Choked up"
① Physical restriction and the emotional tension of trying to avoid displaying vulnerability.② A play on 'loc' (the West Coast gang subculture vernacular) versus the feeling of being emotionally paralyzed or unable to breathe due to grief.
unparalleled emotional authenticity
commanding vocal presence that elevates simple syntax
consistent thematic dedication to the 'G' persona
strong integration of personal tragedy with street narrative
reliance on established tropes for the era
limited metaphorical abstraction
cadence can feel repetitive due to the rigid internal rhyme focus
