[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
We grew up doing graffiti, now hollow✦ heads getting✦ heated✦
Seated✦ in foreign cars, constantly getting✦ weeded✦
Proceeded to count profits, I know they got on binoculars
But fuck 'em all, we balling 'til they come lock us up
20 to life; I'm clubbing, blowing 20 tonight
We the mob, Bob Marley✦ Marl'ing all through the night
Addicted to wealth, never✦ cold turkey✦ to war
Snatch a TEC off the shelf, live forever; that's Insh'Allah (Ha)
Memoirs of a rich nigga✦ (Woo)
Sweat suits, gold chains, old drug dealers (Woo)
New Benz, chrome rims are for show, killer✦ (Woo)
You niggas✦ accidental, shoppers in back of the limo✦
Pay your tithes,✦ stay alive,✦ can't be dodging my clique
Cut a check; I use your bitch for some bargaining chips
In a hole, sell your home, nigga,✦ go sell your soul
This forty-five in control, God forgives and I don't
[Chorus: Nas, Rick Ross, Nas & Rick Ross]
Accident✦ murderer,✦ act like you killed✦ on purpose✦ (Huh)
Liars brag, you put work in
You ain't mean to murk him, your gun's a virgin✦ (Uh)
Streets are full of 'em, read the bulletin✦ (Huh)
Accident✦ murderer✦
You just an accident✦ murderer✦
[Bridge: Nas]
Accident✦ murderer✦
Accident✦ murderer,✦ you just an accident✦ murderer✦
[Verse 3: Nas]
Yo, for my nigga✦ that got killed,✦ got hit up
Vodka✦ spills on the concrete, light a Swisher, we miss ya
And for that girl who never✦ made it home, shot in the dome
How they gon' kill that beautiful sister?✦
Violent adolescents, homicidal with weapons
Not a lot of knowledge inside✦ of they minds, and I'm guessing✦
Tell me who you impressing?✦
Shooters, I knew them when they was babies,✦ I used✦ to test them
Make 'em throw up they hands, choke 'em out playing and wrestling
Watch 'em grow to a man, I see them, now they repping
But they cold-blooded, homie, wondering where the respect went
Can't play with these little niggas,✦ gangsta little niggas✦
Can't hang with these little niggas,✦ they're killing, they're reckless
Wish I could build with him, but will he change, really?✦
Some real killers, I think of Wayne Perry✦
Think of my nigga,✦ Drawz, but you want a name, tell me
You ain't mean to kill him, it wasn't necessary
[Chorus: Nas]
Accident✦ murderer,✦ act like you killed✦ on purpose✦ (Uh)
Liars brag, you put work in (Uh)
You ain't mean to murk him, your gun's a virgin✦ (Uh)
Streets are full of 'em, read the bulletin✦ (Uh)
Accident✦ murderer,✦ act like you killed✦ on purpose✦
Liars brag, you put work in
You ain't mean to murk him, your gun's a virgin✦
Streets are full of 'em, read the bulletin✦
Accident✦ murderer✦
You just an accident✦ murderer✦
[Outro: Nas]
Accident✦ murderer✦
You just an accident✦ murderer✦
Accident✦ murderer✦
You just an accident✦ murderer✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Bob Marley Marl'ing all through the night"

① A reference to smoking marijuana (Marl'ing/Marley) consistent with the iconic reggae artist.② A phonetic play on the name Bob Marley to describe the act of staying up all night, perhaps in an intoxicated or high state.

"Your gun's a virgin"

① The weapon has never been used (fired) in a violent encounter.② The owner lacks the experience or 'maturity' required to be a seasoned street operative.

"Bargaining chips"

① Physical items used in a negotiation or trade.② The woman is being used as a strategic tool to manipulate a situation or gain leverage against an adversary.

High level of rhythmic pocket maintenance

Strong command of the 'Boss' persona

Effective use of multis to drive flow momentum

Reliance on established tropes (luxury, street violence)

Lack of complex metaphorical architecture

Some punchlines rely on cliché street rap imagery
