[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Who want a problem✦ ha, ha? (*3X*)
Is it the nigga✦ over✦ there?
[Verse 2: Sheek Louch]
Yeah look look
Neo on the beat, Glock in my murder✦ hand
Back seat Pakistan, I can just kill a man
It's gettin✦ warm, they home for the summer✦
And left the winter✦ clothes✦ in the dorm
I don't want a problem,✦ it's too much flesh out
They want me to cock back and blow their chest out
See me in the yard with a Newport, stressed out
It's too damn hot to walk around✦ here vest out
Feel me dawg, make money✦ or make a hit
Other✦ than that, can't think of shit
My son gettin✦ bigger,✦ it's like every✦ week this lil' nigga✦
His clothes✦ or his Jordans don't fit, who want a problem?✦
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Who want a problem✦ ha, ha? (*3X*)
Is it the nigga✦ over✦ there?
[Verse 3: Jadakiss]
HEYYY~! I'm comin✦ the 4th quarter
So I'mma✦ just give you the summer✦ to tread water✦
Way they wrote it down in the paper✦ it said slaughter
Found him in the tub with nothin✦ but red water✦
But anyway,✦ back on track
Honey✦ in the black on black, ass all fat
Whattup ma? You feel like winnin,✦ feel like spinnin?
Lil' Jimmy✦ Chu footwear, antique denim✦
Shh, you do the math to that, six months
For these Louis and these jeans is a half a stack
What more could you ask than that?
Whoever got a problem✦ get all of the desert and half the mac
BRRAP
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Who want a problem✦ ha, ha? (*3X*)
Is it the nigga✦ over✦ there?
[Outro: Swizz Beatz]
Talk to me!

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Back seat Pakistan"

① A reference to the region, implying a foreign, possibly dangerous or militant environment.② A phonetic play designed to facilitate the internal rhyme scheme with 'murder hand' and 'kill a man'.

"make money or make a hit"

① To focus on financial gain through legal or hustling means.② To commit an act of violence (a 'hit') or produce a successful musical record.

Exceptional rhythmic placement of internal rhymes

Consistent, gritty persona maintenance

Strong use of cadence to mask simple rhyme structures

Metaphorical depth remains surface-level compared to elite lyricists of the era

Reliance on street-code tropes rather than innovative imagery

Limited variation in thematic scope
