[Chorus]
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late (Yes!)
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late
[Verse 2]
You got yourself in a predicament, that you can't get out of
You already in some shit, but it's about✦ to get hotter✦
Fuckin'✦ with a nigga✦ like you runnin'✦ your mouth
Will, have that same nigga✦ like you, gun in your mouth
But won't be like the last time when you run in the house
'Cause I ain't knockin' on the door, I'm comin'✦ in the house
And I'm gunnin'✦ for your spouse, tryin' to send the bitch back to her maker✦
And if you got a daughter older✦ than 15, I'ma✦ rape her
Take her on the livin'✦ room floor, right there in front of you
Then ask you seriously, whatchu wanna✦ do?
Frustratin', isn't it? Wanna✦ kill me, but I'ma✦ kill you
Now watch me fuck just a little while longer,✦ please, will you?
This is revenge, know that before✦ you die
And despite how much I hate to see a grown man cry
I'ma✦ make you suffer,✦ see your ass in Hell, motherfucker
Click, boom-boom, see your ass in hell
[Chorus]
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late
[Verse 3]
When I speak you better✦ listen,✦ the harder✦ it gets, the more follows
And I'm hittin'✦ 'em with shit that they can't all swallow
I keep my slugs hollow,✦ keep families with sorrow✦
Keep motherfuckers like you, not seein' tomorrow
I will borrow✦ a gun, then run 'til I catch you
Let you slip up, just once, then I'ma✦ wet you
Stretch you out like a limousine
'Cause where I catch you is where I catch you, that's what killin'✦ means
Fuck whoever's standin' there when you get what you got comin'✦
'Cause once I hit you in your head, the witnesses start runnin'✦
Niggas started somethin', but they chose not to finish it
So I'ma✦ wrap it up, for real, dog, 'cause I'ma✦ win this shit
Fuck it yo, let's end this shit, I don't need the plaques
And I ain't a DJ, nigga,✦ so I don't need the wax
Gimme slugs for my gats, gimme hoods for my rats
Gimme wood for my bats, then they meet where the fuck I'm at, for real
[Chorus]
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late
One, two, X is coming✦ for you
Three, four, better✦ lock your door
Five, six, get your crucifix✦
Seven,✦ eight, don't stay up late

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse relies on extreme visceral intimidation and rhythmic cadence rather than complex metaphorical wordplay, utilizing a 'horror-core' persona to drive the narrative tension.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB with heavy reliance on internal rhymes and multisyllabic clusters (predicament/get out of/hotter) that anchor the listener in a rapid, threatening flow.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Will, have that same nigga like you, gun in your mouth"

① A direct threat of physical violence using a firearm.② A homophonic play on the structure of the previous sentence (runnin' your mouth / gun in your mouth) shifting the context from verbal expression to fatal consequence.

Exceptional command of cadence and vocal delivery

High-stakes narrative building

Effective use of rhythmic pauses to create tension

Raw emotional intensity that defines the era's sound

Lyrical content leans heavily into shock value over complex wordplay

Vocabulary is limited by the gritty, street-level persona

Lack of multi-layered metaphorical depth
