[Cass the Hustla]
He ain't no problem✦
[Corner Man]
I need you to get in there hit 'em with those punch lines,✦ those metaphors
You gotta✦ make sure your flow your delivery
You gotta✦ make sure all that's on point
Hurt his feelings, bite his head off
[Cass the Hustla]
Listen✦ to this all that lip will get you and your man bodied✦
I'm the man you a bitch in a man's body✦
You a disgrace who wrote your shit? Mase?
Your album wasn't nothing✦ like the shit on the mixtapes
First you was hustling✦ bustin✦ them shells
Then you went commercial to get a couple of sells
That's what you got a couple of sells
And you probably wouldn't of sold loads if wasn't for Kels
Well you was crazy✦ man with the punch line flow
But now you the ladies✦ man where the punch lines✦ go
Yo it don't get no better✦
You was smiling chi-town stepping but ain't get no cheddar
If you a star, I'm a galaxy✦ nigga✦
One verse'll merk all your personalities nigga✦
You garbage and ain't nothing✦ trash about✦ me
I'm THE HUSTLER✦ MUTHAFUCKER ASK ABOUT✦ ME... ASK ABOUT✦ ME PUSSY✦

Then Cassidy✦ the Hustla✦ I want you to go next
You Ready?✦ GET IN
[Cass the Problem]
I got shit on lock
Like I'm constipated✦ you will get abominated✦
I ain't lyricist of the year but I was nominated✦
Where your strip at you ain't hustling✦ nigga✦
That track would have been wack if it wasn't for Jigga✦
I'm a ladies✦ man chicks loving✦ a nigga✦
But I'll still put a slug in a nigga✦ BRAAT
Real funny✦ I went gold but get money✦ on the road
And I own a hundred percent of my publishing nigga✦
[Announcer]
Ok ok ok that's it that's it
Cassidy✦ the hustler✦ you ready?✦
It's your turn eight bars... let's go
[Cass the Hustla]
You don't really✦ want the drama✦ nigga✦
You'll take more shots in your face then Madonna nigga✦
You get ate I'm like Dahmer✦ nigga✦
You don't battle you make songs for the chicks like Mashonda nigga✦
The best is me I got stripes like a referee✦
And coke comin✦ on boats like a refugee✦
You should switch flow nigga✦ your shits gold

And if you bastards doubt me...

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I'm the man you a bitch in a man's body"
① A literal insult implying the opponent is a woman masquerading as a man.② A linguistic play on the literal construction of the phrase to denote cowardice masquerading as masculine bravado.
"First you was hustling bustin them shells / Then you went commercial to get a couple of sells"
① Refers to the literal act of shooting bullets (shells).② Refers to the transition from authentic street rap to commercial success, where 'sells' functions as a homophone for 'cells' (prison) or 'sales' (units sold).
High level of technical rhyming density
Aggressive and confident delivery
Coherent thematic narrative focusing on the 'hustla vs problem' persona dynamic
Thematic reliance on standard battle rap tropes
