[Outro: Bashir Fadai & DMX]
Yep, yep, yep
I don't really✦ trust humans✦ that much these days
Shit, the fact of the matter is, I trust dogs more than I trust humans✦
Shit, nothin'✦ like that dog love, I tell ya
Not just any✦ dog, it's gotta✦ be a pitbull
Yup, that's the only✦ dog for me
You don't wanna✦ get caught in a pit with one of them
They make good companions, but even worse enemies
It's all on how you take it
You know how we do baby✦
Aight
Grand champ
You know how we do
Scratch all day, match our weight
Fuck nigga✦
You can't be fuckin'✦ serious
A raccoon ain't nothin'✦ but a big cat

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse functions primarily as a thematic manifesto rather than a lyrical showcase, relying on raw, aggressive delivery to compensate for a lack of complex linguistic density.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly end-rhyme heavy with inconsistent coupling, relying on rhythmic repetition rather than intricate multi-syllabic schemes.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"You don't wanna get caught in a pit with one of them"

① A literal pit/enclosure with a fighting dog.② A metaphorical 'pit' or dangerous situation involving the artist (DMX/Pitbull persona).

"They make good companions, but even worse enemies"

① The loyalty of a pitbull to its owner.② The predatory aggression of the artist when provoked by opposition.

Highly authentic and visceral delivery that establishes persona

Effective use of the 'dog/pitbull' motif to build brand identity

Strong command of tone and atmospheric tension

Lack of complex wordplay or metaphoric depth

Informal structure bordering on stream-of-consciousness

Limited technical variance beyond the central trope
