[Waah Dean]
Yeah. Better✦ play by the rules
Cause I'm tellin'✦ you lotta✦ niggas turn fools
Get lost in the system and get jammed✦ with the 9
Telling' you man respect my man Cass
It's for real on the field. This is wiser✦ talking'
Fuck what ya heard
[Cassidy]✦ (Swizz)
(Let's go)
I always tried to do it big but had small paper✦
Now I'm going big my friends want small favors
I'll see ya'll later✦ cause I'm trying stack
& ya'll just trying keep my back against✦ the wall paper✦
You think it's easy✦ to rap -- this shit hard labor
I put years in; blood, sweat, & tears in
Plug ya ears in cause this real talk & this some true shit
We all go through shit
See baby✦ girl she got a seed on the way
An' she 'on't know how she gonna✦ feed her little seed everyday✦
Another✦ young brother✦ gonna✦ bleed everyday✦
We in the gutta✦ that's why we smoke weed everyday✦
Daddy✦ locked✦ but he innocent
He can't afford a lawyer✦ and his public defender a degenerate
An' mommy✦ she just heard her daughter call
She ain't got no lights & they 'bout to cut her water✦ off
[Dee Dean]
Uh, you know we all gonna✦ pay
A matter✦ ah time, we gonna✦ live though
Don't even✦ worry✦ bout it. Just a matter✦ of time
We be straight. Do what you gotta✦ do
Stay focused. Gotta✦ put ya time in
You don't put no time in you ain't gonna✦ get nothing✦ out of this
So you put ya time in, now it's your time, let's make it happen✦
[Cassidy]
I'm trying get out the gutta✦ look I don't grind for nothing✦
This so my little brother✦ won't be deprived for nothing✦
Dodging' ducking'✦ busting' feasting'
In police✦ handcuffs going up the precinct
You could get stuck up by the sluts you sleep with
While you eating✦ it, sucking✦ it, fucking✦ it, creeping it
Even✦ our young bucks is stuck on some street shit
Cutting school, puffin',✦ plus they freaking,✦ cussing, speaking✦ outrageously
I'm trying get from route A to Z; get a house, play the V
Get a spouse, make a seed, relax and live
The kid Cassidy✦ tell it how it actually is
I been stacking bread but 'fore you look I'm gone
An' I'mma✦ crook every✦ song they put me on
An' it ain't no questioning that
Man I know I'mma✦ blow I just pray for the rest of you cats
[Swizz Beatz]
That's what I'm saying man uh huh
You know the industry is what it is
The streets is what it is
It's a struggle
By the end of the day ya back is against✦ the wall
For real how you gonna✦ come up out of that
It's on you man (it's on you dog)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Cassidy employs a highly functional 'ground-level' storytelling style, utilizing internal rhyme density and consistent multisyllabic end-rhymes to anchor grim urban narratives, though the complexity remains grounded in accessible relatability rather than abstract lyricism.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I always tried to do it big but had small paper / Now I'm going big my friends want small favors"

① Financial status (paper as currency/money)② Personal growth and the shifting nature of transactional friendships

"ya'll just trying keep my back against the wall paper"

① Physical restriction/containment against the wall② Metaphorical obstruction where 'wall paper' highlights the triviality of those trying to hold him back

"she got a seed on the way / An' she 'on't know how she gonna feed her little seed everyday"

① Pregnancy (biological seed)② Nurturing the child/future (metaphorical seed)

High density of internal rhymes creating a fluid, rhythmic cadence

Clear, empathetic storytelling regarding systemic urban issues

Solid, logical progression from personal ambition to community struggle

Relies on established tropes of 'the gutter' which limits thematic originality

The vocal delivery remains consistent rather than dynamic, bordering on monotone

The punchlines function more as observational realism than lyrical pivots
