[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)

① Physical size of money or success.② Financial documents or legal records.

"back against the wall paper"

① A idiomatic expression meaning to be under pressure or restricted.② A literal reference to being pushed against a wall, playfully utilizing the 'wall' in wall paper.

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

High density of internal rhymes creating a fluid, driving rhythm

Strong grounding in social realities (poverty, judicial system)

Coherent thematic progression from personal success to communal struggle

Reliance on colloquial aphorisms which occasionally limits abstract poetic depth

Delivery remains relatively flat in its aggressive, monotone stance

Some punchlines rely on established tropes common to the mid-2000s era
