[Verse 3: King Syze]

You wanna^✦ put your money^✦ up? Then motherfucker then put it

For your family's sanity^✦ man, I wish that you wouldn't

Niggas^✦ got nice flows, just don't know where to put it

And I know your whole life your raps are edited^✦ footage^✦

And y'all mixtape niggas^✦ couldn't see my plateaus

All up in my presence,^✦ while y'all acting^✦ bashful

King Syze casting an ecliptic rap flow

Y'all little light niggas^✦ couldn't feed my shadows

From, city^✦ to city,^✦ intersection^✦ to section^✦

But you reflexing, with or without a weapon

I'm always^✦ stepping, never^✦ scared^✦

But always^✦ and forever prepared

Yeah the ones^✦ who drink gas man is revving their gears

[Verse 4: Reef the Lost Cauze]

You now rocking with the foulest clique in the continent

Total^✦ dominance, rise to prominence^✦

In my Prime like Optimus, stand in astonishment

At this conglomerate, an axis^✦ of evil^✦

I know where Osama^✦ is, he down in Camp David

Down and dirty^✦ like a damp basement

The champ must demand^✦ greatness

From himself, or be another contender

There's^✦ hundreds of niggas^✦

Dead left under^✦ the river^✦

From the days of slaves^✦

To hurricanes in Orleans

See my people's graves^✦ floating amongst the waves^✦

There's^✦ hell to pay, but

The devil^✦ don't take checks

I tried to send a message^✦ to God

His phone don't take texts

I need a new plan, a crook with knowledge

Times^✦ is hard homie, why I took them dollars

Man, my momma^✦ got a mortgage^✦

And my little baby^✦ sister^✦ need books for college

I rob all y'all

[Verse 5: Doap Nixon]

Hey, yo, they want the hood in here so they called^✦ me first

I give 'em rappers^✦ Gatorade cause they ball with thirst, UH!

This is more than music

But these niggas^✦ is mad trash

That's why the stores^✦ refuse^✦ 'em

Yo, I'm out in Georgia, went straight to the block

I'm seeing cats motorcycling dawg, I'm doin the walk

I'm an OG, call my Italian^✦ niggas^✦ a wop

Though their papers ain't right

But they got weight on the block

I love 'em uh

Hand to hand, see your hands ache

I drunk so much syrup dawg I stopped eating^✦ pancakes

You niggas^✦ cool, dawg, mine's^✦ absurd hot

Stop frontin' like you's a killer^✦ money,^✦ your nerves^✦ shot

Yo you's a Paxil^✦ nigga,^✦ dumping Zoloft in coffee

AOTP what exhaust be

Can't keep it gear, cause I'm blinging with F's

But I got my mind right so swing your shit to the left

[Verse 6: Demoz]

Nigga^✦ if I had 24 hours to live

Fuck 24 hours, gimme 24 seconds

Vin I'm driving off a bridge

Broken^✦ rib, no windshield, covered in kerosene

Gasoline tank filled^✦ to the top

Magazines^✦ of these phony^✦ rappers^✦ ripped^✦ in pieces^✦

No priest is strong enough^✦ to take me out of my zone

I broke Jesus,^✦ choke niggas^✦ who squeal

Rob niggas^✦ who steal, kill niggas^✦ who kill

I'm too sick for a pill

Man these niggas^✦ ain't real, they real fake

They say they a man but they fucking^✦ with real snakes^✦

That's when you put 'em in the trunk with their grill taped^✦

Rip in reverse then run into^✦ a steel gate

I'm a suicide^✦ driver,^✦ never^✦ been a liar

If I don't kill you later,^✦ I'm a kill you mañana^✦

You don't want no problems

You don't want no drama^✦

Nigga^✦ I'mma^✦ take a trip with your baby^✦ momma^✦

Suicide^✦ driver^✦

[Verse 7: Celph Titled]

You better^✦ cross your T's

Cause we'll dot your eyes

You can say that you specialize^✦ but Pharaohs will optimize^✦

Backstage^✦ will get a bitch back smacked there

The MAC glare like dirty^✦ south pimp slap clap snares,^✦ YEAH!

Holy^✦ paragraphs, what kind of shit is that?

I'm Jesus^✦ in the flesh so this is motherfucking^✦ Christian^✦ rap

Y'all just Christmas wrap, must be the secret^✦ Santa^✦

My reindeer aim near, pierce you with the antlers (yeah)

I made 'em go easy^✦

And called^✦ off the wolves^✦ on my AOTP radio^✦ CB

Cause y'all ain't worthy^✦ of grenades and RPGs

Slit throat, hope you float with sardines^✦ and seaweed (damn)

Cause this is C-E-L-P-H demonic symphony

Listen^✦ to the Hell we make (oh)

And a year before^✦ your kids tenth birthday came

You didn't have to wait for candles on the cake

To see the nine flame

[Verse 8: Vinnie Paz]

Respect the G, my clique clap at you incessantly

I lay back and drink alcohol excessively

It ain't a rapper^✦ that's alive^✦ today^✦ that's testing me

I got degrees in being ignorant and weaponry

A forty^✦ ounce and Dutch Master^✦ is the recipe^✦

That's my shit there, that'll be the death of me

Give me a death mask, better^✦ yet an effigy^✦

I understand^✦ the math of death and its complexity^✦

I understand^✦ how you was violently murked^✦

I understand^✦ how you was raised^✦ under^✦ the lies of the church

But understand^✦ and recognize^✦ that I'm cursed^✦

With the ability^✦ to end your fucking^✦ lives^✦ with a verse

[Outro: Vinnie Paz]

Yeah, brat brat!

Pazman,^✦ AOTP

ILL Bill on the beat

Billy^✦ Crystal, La Coka!^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"In my Prime like Optimus"

① A reference to being at the peak of one's lyrical ability.② A direct comparison to Optimus Prime, the leader of the Transformers, signifying robotic toughness and dominance.

"I know where Osama is, he down in Camp David"

① A provocative, conspiratorial political punchline regarding the location of a public enemy.② A subversion of expectations that uses high-tension political figures to ground the verse in an edgy, rebellious atmosphere.

Consistent, authoritative delivery

Technically dense multis

Strong rhythmic pocket maintenance

Occasional reliance on generic battle-rap tropes

Some forced slant rhymes to accommodate the scheme

Lack of complex narrative layering
