[Chorus]
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
[Verse 2]
Outside✦ I see the cop cars flashin they lights
Raindrops symbolizing God is saving✦ the life
The sun shining so they say the devil✦ beatin✦ his wife
The body✦ bloody✦ underneath the sheet is waitin✦ for Christ
The streets is hungry✦ so I know they watchin'
Waitin'✦ to strike
But anything you ever✦ got for easy✦
Came with a price
Its just the chance a nigga✦ took
He was shaking the dice
Committed suicide✦ to get his chain covered in ice
I ain't 'gon lie I did the same thing
I wanted✦ to shine
25 and had a drop Rolls
Top of the line
I came a long way from rockin'✦ up
Ounces✦ or dimes✦
To moving✦ big boys
4 or 5 blocks at a time
And since this rap it wasn't paying bills
I did what I did
Got my money✦ for it
Let these niggas✦
Wrong answer✦
You'd think a motherfucker be proud
To see his homie on his feet instead of talking him down
[Chorus]
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
[Verse 3]
Now if the ghetto✦ ever✦ made a change
It changed for the worse
But I love it so I write in tears
And pray til it hurts
Prick my fingers
Til the blood stains would cover✦ the page
Wipe my eyes and look ahead✦
And hope to see better✦ days
I turn my TV off
Cuz I don't wanna✦ look at the news
Hard times✦ seeing people crying
Arabs and Jews
Fighting for they religion✦
Niggas✦ livin✦ like niggas✦
Mexicans on the border✦
White boys saying kill em
Politicians playing puppet✦
Gotta✦ answer✦ me this
Do you believe✦ you really✦ God?
My answer✦ is this
Did you say
Let there be light, give Adam✦ his wife
Produce the vegetation✦
Separate the day from the night?
[Bridge]
Create the land and the sea and man in your own image✦
If not, then I want all this bullshit ended✦
Sending the kids to fight a war that they ain't have to be in
That Saddam✦ shit is dead, let's see you fuck with them Koreans
[Chorus]
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?
Who do you believe✦ in?

Rhyme Architecture: The verse employs a consistent AAAA rhyme scheme throughout the majority of the section, relying on 'i' and 'eye' vowel sounds to create a claustrophobic, relentless flow that mirrors the cyclical nature of the lifestyle described.

① A common Southern folk idiom describing sun-showers, suggesting the duality of beauty and cruelty.② A dark metaphor for the chaotic nature of the environment, implying that even during moments of clarity or warmth, violence is the underlying reality.

"Committed suicide to get his chain covered in ice"

① Literal death caused by the risks of the drug game to acquire jewelry.② A commentary on the 'death of the soul' where one sacrifices their humanity and safety for status symbols (ice).
