[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
No matter✦ how many✦ battles✦ I been in and won
No matter✦ how many✦ magazines✦ on my nuts
No matter✦ how many✦ MCs I eat up
Oh, it's never✦ enough✦
No matter✦ how many✦ battles✦ I been in and won
No matter✦ how many✦ magazines✦ on my nuts
No matter✦ how many✦ MCs I eat up
Oh, oh, it's never✦ enough✦
[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
My flow's untouchable,✦ now you gotta✦ face it
Uh-oh, it gets worse when I go back to the basics
You gon' say the wrong shit and get your whole face split
The smell of victory—love it so much, I can taste it
I spot my target,✦ blaze it, direct hit
Graze it, your peace talk—save it
Your shit sounds dated, you're overrated✦
I'm obligated✦ to study✦ your moves then crush you motherfuckers
If I'm the best and the worst, then God's gift is a curse
Soldier trained to destroy—you✦ payin' attention, boy?
I spit shit, slick shit so quick—you✦ miss it
To be specific I go ballistic as hieroglyphic
My music is a drug, press play, you ain't gotta✦ sniff it
Shoot it or pop it, roll it, bag it or chop it
It'll get you high over✦ and over,✦ but you gotta✦ cop it
When it's hot, it's hot, your hatin'✦ is undeniable,✦ stop it
[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
No matter✦ how many✦ battles✦ I been in and won
No matter✦ how many✦ magazines✦ on my nuts
No matter✦ how many✦ MCs I eat up
Oh, it's never✦ enough✦
No matter✦ how many✦ battles✦ I been in and won
No matter✦ how many✦ magazines✦ on my nuts
No matter✦ how many✦ MCs I eat up
Oh, oh, it's never✦ enough✦

"If I'm the best and the worst, then God's gift is a curse"

① The artist is a paradox, possessing both extreme talent and a destructive nature.② A theological reflection where being 'gifted' creates an inescapable burden or 'curse' on his life.

"My music is a drug, press play, you ain't gotta sniff it / Shoot it or pop it, roll it, bag it or chop it"

① The intoxicating and addictive quality of his lyrical content.② A literal inventory of drug distribution and administration methods used as a metaphor for the rapid-fire 'doses' of lyrics he provides.

Exceptional rhythmic lock and breath control

High-energy delivery that fits the aggressive persona

Tight, cohesive internal rhyming that sustains the listener's engagement

Reliance on standard gangsta rap tropes which lowers the originality score

Wordplay is primarily surface-level and lacks multi-layered metaphorical depth

The rhyme structures, while technically proficient, rely heavily on predictable phonetics
