[Verse 4: Prospect]
Ayo, it's off with his head
Left a body✦ stiff and dead with the infrared
It's hard to survive, disarm a whole part of this tribe
We taking✦ niggas✦ lives,✦ so what? They tryin take mine
What I'm supposed to do? Let shit slide like I was close to you?
This murder✦ I write, pushin✦ a hearse, let me chaffeur you
Cause I'ma✦ ride for my niggas,✦ die for my niggas✦
Puff lye with my niggas✦ til I'm high with my niggas✦
What the deal son?
[Verse 5: Big Pun]
Aiyyo it's off with his head
Nigga✦ I was born in the fuckin✦ Dawn of the Dead
I always✦ got my Dunn like I always✦ got my gun
Fresh out the box, oiled✦ and cocked,✦ Glock 21
Once I've begun✦ to pop, I ain't gon' stop til I'm done
So either✦ call the cops, or bust a shot - nigga✦ uhh
Cause I'ma✦ ride for my niggas,✦ die for my niggas✦
Puff lye with my niggas✦ til I'm high with my niggas✦
Hold me down Pros'
[Verse 6: Prospect]
Ayo, it's off with his head
Put that nigga✦ to sleep and make a coffin✦ his bed
I come from rough times✦ where niggas✦ bust 9's and be like fuck rhymes✦
And puff dimes,✦ living✦ on front lines,✦ and lust crimes✦
You better✦ trust mines,✦ I'm down for the cause
Gimme a round of applause and hear the sound of the four's
Cause I'ma✦ ride for my niggas,✦ die for my niggas✦
Puff lye with my niggas✦ til I'm high with my niggas✦
What the deal kid?
[Verse 7: Big Pun]
Ayo, it's off with his head
Cock the lead redecorate the crib burgandy red
Ayo, I never✦ front, I want whatever✦ nigga✦ to stomp
Whoever✦ want it gonna✦ get lift with the pump
I mention I'm dumb, my trigger✦ finger✦ fittin'✦ to jump
Got the whole left side of my face twitchin' and stuff
Cause I'ma✦ ride for my niggas,✦ die for my niggas✦
Puff lye with my niggas✦ til I'm high with my niggas✦
Take us home, Dunn
[Verse 8: Prospect]
Ayo, it's off with his head
He ain't really✦ want it so he lost it instead
"Picture Me Rollin"✦ like 'Pac in the drop,
My style too hot to figure✦ out, oh Lord
Please don't make me put this nigga✦ out
My trigger✦ shout through your area✦ code
The scary✦ explos',✦ your click get, leary✦ of foes
Cause I'ma✦ ride for my niggas,✦ die for my niggas✦
Puff lye with my niggas✦ till I'm high with my niggas✦
Now it's on, Twin, now, it's on, Twin
Yeah, ha, now it's on, Twin

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I always got my Dunn like I always got my gun"

① A reference to the 'Dunn' crew/associates he is loyal to.② The immediate availability and reliability of his firearm.

"make a coffin his bed"

① Literally putting someone to sleep/killing them.② A grim subversion of the nursery rhyme or standard phrase 'sleep in your bed', using the coffin as the final resting place.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Strong command of multisyllabic pocket placement

Aggressive and authoritative vocal delivery

Seamless integration of internal rhymes

Thematic content is formulaic for the hardcore genre

Reliance on established street metaphors

Limited conceptual depth beyond traditional battle rap tropes
