[Verse 2: DMX]
Now if your heart was as big as your mouth, you'd be real
But it's not, so I know if you get knocked, you'll squeal
Like a bitch, 'cause you is a bitch and always been a bitch (Oh, oh, oh)
And you know how niggas✦ do a bitch, we run up in a bitch (Woah)
Put something in a bitch, nigga✦ do you know me? Nigga✦ do you owe me? (Uh-huh)✦
Figured you could blow me? Well I'ma✦ let this trigger fill you homie
Y'all niggas✦ got to be smokin'✦ somethin',✦ thinkin' you chokin'✦ somethin'✦ (Uh)
Fuckin'✦ around wit' me you'll be a broken✦ somethin'✦ (Woo)
I'm out for blood with the Crips at war
How much shit could you talk wit' your lips on the floor?
Pussy✦ niggas✦ make me itch, so I scratch, you's a bitch (Uh, uh, uh)
So I snatch up your face, fake-ass Pit, so I scratch you (Uh, uh, come one)
Yeah there was a time, when I would've jumped✦ up and choked✦ this nigga✦
(But now) But now I'm on some shit like, "Yo, smoke this nigga"✦ (Uh-huh)✦
I'm 'bout to find out how much guts you got before✦ I spill 'em
Somebody come and get this muh'fucker before✦ I kill him (Please)
(Ahh) Fresh out the asylum, I'm wildin'✦
Y'all niggas✦ know the phone numbers for help, you best to dial 'em (Ayy)
Nine-one-one, emergency,✦ the urgency✦
Will have witnesses seein' what the surgeon see (Woo)
How far you gon' get, wit' your dome split fool (Come on)
And catch your man slippin' 'cause he think his shit cool (Come on)
But it ain't, so I paint the walls with his blood (Uh, uh, uh)
Another dick in the mud, nigga,✦ what? (Come on)
[Chorus: P Killer Trackz & DMX]
I just love when a nigga✦ bring his whole crew
It's just a bigger✦ piece of cake for me to chew a hole through
(Uh)
I just love when a nigga✦ bring his whole crew
(Nigga)✦
It's just a bigger✦ piece of cake for me to chew a hole through
(Uh)
I just love when a nigga✦ bring his whole crew
It's just a bigger✦ piece of cake for me to chew a hole through
I just love when a nigga✦ bring his whole crew
It's just a bigger✦ piece of cake for me to chew a hole through (Come on)
[Bridge: Ruff Ryders]
Hey yo, you know who this is for?
They let the dogs in the door (Come on, come on, yeah)

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Figured you could blow me? Well I'ma let this trigger fill you homie"
① A dismissive sexual reference implying the opponent is beneath the rapper② A violent threat where 'blow' transitions from an oral sex act to the muzzle flash and projectile force of a firearm hitting the target
"Pussy niggas make me itch, so I scratch, you's a bitch"
① Physical discomfort leading to the act of scratching an itch② A violent metaphor where the 'itch' is the annoyance of the opponent and 'scratching' is the physical act of assaulting them
Commanding, high-octane delivery
Exceptional rhythmic placement of rhymes on the beat
High-density internal rhyme schemes
Effective use of ad-libs to create a dynamic conversation
Limited vocabulary range (TTR)
Reliance on repetitive tropes of the sub-genre
Some punchlines rely more on shock value than lyrical complexity
