[Chorus: Quan]
Y'all niggas✦ is crazy✦ (to think)
Y'all niggas✦ can't fade me (trick these)
From the bottom✦ to the top, from the booth to the block
Anyway✦ I got to get it, I'm givin'✦ it all I got
Y'all haters✦ can't hold me (no way)
And y'all don't want what's on me (pointed✦ your way)
So when I get, I'm gon' get it, in my life how I live it
And whips I be whippin',✦ smokin'✦ on that exquisite✦
[Verse 2: Quan]
Uh, VA game spittin',✦ platinum grill grinnin'✦
Chrome rims spinnin',✦ with wood grain glistenin'
Any✦ amount we sippin',✦ passion✦ for thugs livin'✦
Free, fresh and out of prison✦
Flexin'✦ that new edition✦
Good grain gettin',✦ shittin'✦ lovin✦ the feelin'✦
Bobby✦ Womack singin',✦ Marisa Rings gleamin'
Hat cocked✦ deucey,✦ puffin'✦ the quarter loosely
Poppin✦ the bottle and tippin'✦ fifth of that to goosey✦
Shinin'✦ for Swill and Halle, smokin✦ for Lil' Shawney
Still reppin'✦ Bad Newz, and all my soldiers fallen✦
Enjoy✦ some better✦ days, dispute burdens I carry✦
See cousin✦ hookin'✦ money,✦ for God momentary
Floss every✦ chance I get, spread love freely✦
Still spittin'✦ gangsta✦ shit, 'cause the streets need me
Still got that MAC-milli, for niggas✦ actin'✦ silly✦
Still pimpin'✦ gangsta✦ pretty,✦ reppin'✦ in every✦ city✦
[Chorus: Quan]
Y'all niggas✦ is crazy✦ (to think)
Y'all niggas✦ can't fade me (trick these)
From the bottom✦ to the top, from the booth to the block
Anyway✦ I got to get it, I'm givin'✦ it all I got
Y'all haters✦ can't hold me (no way)
And y'all don't want what's on me (pointed✦ your way)
So when I get, I'm gon' get it, in my life how I live it
And whips I be whippin',✦ smokin'✦ on that exquisite✦
[Verse 3: Cassidy]
Yeah, I pray every✦ day for a better✦ life
I think it's gon' get better✦ but it's like I'm never✦ right
Make it better✦ Christ, I'm on both of my knees
There's✦ no hope, that why I'm smokin'✦ the trees
Damn, all for the cheese, I lost both of my mans
That's why there's✦ toasters in both of my hands
Damn, and I'll sell coke and purp' 'fore I go to work
I go to the Range more than I go to church
My whole mentality✦ twisted, but this reality✦ isn't it
I ain't tryin' to be fatality✦ listed✦
And yo brethren, gettin'✦ dough is like goin' to heaven✦
And goin' to jail, like goin' to hell
But before✦ I go in the grave, I'll go in the cell
Just send my son photo in the mail
Oh well, but I got God on my side so I'm beatin'✦ the case
This life crazy✦ but I'm keepin'✦ the faith
[Chorus: Quan]
Y'all niggas✦ is crazy✦ (to think)
Y'all niggas✦ can't fade me (trick these)
From the bottom✦ to the top, from the booth to the block
Anyway✦ I got to get it, I'm givin'✦ it all I got
Y'all haters✦ can't hold me (no way)
And y'all don't want what's on me (pointed✦ your way)
So when I get, I'm gon' get it, in my life how I live it
And whips I be whippin',✦ smokin'✦ on that exquisite✦

Quan’s verse serves as a rhythmic exercise characterized by a relentless internal rhyme structure and a distinct Southern-influenced cadential flow, though it lacks deep lyrical subtext or complex figurative language.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a high-density, multi-syllabic internal rhyme scheme (e.g., spittin'/grinnin'/spinnin'/glistenin'/sippin'/livin') that creates a percussive, trance-like flow consistent with the early-to-mid 2000s era.
