[Chorus:^✦ Scarface]^✦ + {UTP}

I've been straight {for a long time}

Getting^✦ cake {for a long time}

E&J {for a long time}

Nigga^✦ {try to get like this!}

I've been a G {for a long time}

In the street {for a long time}

Toting^✦ heat {for a long time}

Nigga^✦ {try to get like this!}

{I got big dog status}^✦

[Verse 2: T.I.]

Hey I'm they fave

They say pressure^✦ busts pipes,^✦ but I ain't scared^✦

It's my pleasure^✦ to tell it right, don't think I ain't said

Cause they got prices^✦ on my head homie, I don't slip

Clips long as giraffe necks, that's why I don't trip

Just open^✦ up and let it rip, ain't nothing new to a G

Hey I ain't worried about^✦ these niggas till they shooting at me

My partner died, daughter too, give excuses to me

Still a buster^✦ ass rapper^✦ I'm refusing to be

Scarface^✦ seem to say I'm the king, you a fool if you think

There's^✦ another young new rapper^✦ dude out there cooler^✦ than me (Haha)^✦

I cruise in the V, brand new with the beat

I live a real life like I say I do in the beat

Yo, true indeed,^✦ I do indeed^✦

Do it for the OG's and the true MC's

Them busters say this year I got brand new and it's all phat

Cut that fighting in the club, I'm done with all that

Nigga^✦ ass out of line, well his ass getting^✦ wet

Give a west side nigga^✦ ten stacks, that's that

Oh, or maybe less as a matter^✦ of fact

Nigga^✦ be testing the professor, what's the matter^✦ with cats?

[Chorus:^✦ Scarface]^✦ + {UTP}

I've been straight {for a long time}

Getting^✦ cake {for a long time}

E&J {for a long time}

Nigga^✦ {try to get like this!}

I've been a G {for a long time}

In the street {for a long time}

Toting^✦ heat {for a long time}

Nigga^✦ {try to get like this!}

{I got big dog status}^✦

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]

I've been doing this shit, nigga^✦ who are you?

Lil nigga,^✦ I done seen keys bigger^✦ than you

Lil nigga,^✦ you ain't know shit

Cut off a nigga^✦ head, make him suck his own dick

How the game go? Money^✦ over^✦ bitches^✦ and flowers^✦ over^✦ snitches^✦

Money^✦ over^✦ bitches^✦ and flowers^✦ over^✦ snitches^✦

Mr., Mr. Scarface,^✦ pistols^✦ into^✦ y'all face

Yeah!

[Verse 4: Scarface]

I came here to exercise my game

Spread love to the hood is how I do my thang

Smoking weed with my homies,^✦ barbeque them wangs

Sip Hennesey and coke cause I don't fuck with drank

Don't pop pills either^✦ cause that shit ain't cool

We just drunk a Mad Dog 'fore we went to school

Flick off, back then I was smashing boys

Jump wrong, you saw a nigga^✦ get his ass destroyed

Same rules^✦ right now, I demand^✦ respect

And if I slapped one ho, then her man was next

I'm a kick door robber,^✦ a hot-shot driver^✦

A crack rock slanging motherfucker for a dollar^✦

If it's a dare to be made, then I'm finna^✦ make it

But if it ain't no way, then believe I'm finna^✦ take it

Cause a nigga^✦ with no hustle, it ain't worth this G

And a bitch like this is even^✦ worse than that

I've been good at bullshitting but this game can cost

And if a nigga^✦ can't maintain, mayne he lost

He a nerd, and they fuck nerds in jail I heard

And as a nigga,^✦ I come in here with my balls and my word

[Chorus:^✦ Scarface]^✦ + {UTP}

I've been straight {for a long time}

Getting^✦ cake {for a long time}

E&J {for a long time}

Nigga^✦ {try to get like this!}

I've been a G {for a long time}

In the street {for a long time}

Toting^✦ heat {for a long time}

Nigga^✦ {try to get like this!}

{I got big dog status}^✦

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

T.I. demonstrates superior rhythmic pocket control and clever, if straightforward, mid-2000s era punchline construction, relying on simile-heavy braggadocio that fits the track's theme perfectly.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Clips long as giraffe necks"

① A literal reference to extended ammunition magazines for firearms.② A visual metaphor utilizing the physical length of a giraffe's neck to emphasize the capacity and size of the weapon.

"pressure busts pipes"

① A common idiom meaning external duress breaks an individual's resolve.② A dismissal of the concept as it applies to the narrator, asserting that he remains unbroken by the stresses of his environment.

Excellent rhythmic placement of punchlines

Strong command of the Southern trap delivery aesthetic

Coherent thematic consistency

Relies on standard tropes of the era regarding street status

Limited vocabulary breadth

Lack of complex subtext beyond literal street posture
