[Verse 2: Jadakiss & Styles P]
Ayo, yo, I'ma✦ shed blood for mine, that's one ritual✦
That's how you keep the love unconditional
That's why we the only✦ one the thugs listen✦ to (What up?)
Bitches✦ buy records but niggas✦ do what bitches✦ do
I know a few dudes✦ doin' life bids in jail
And they way smarter then the white kids in Yale
But that how life is, uh
And that how the gun and the knife is
It's a shame but it's real when your enemies like ya
When you come through and fishtail in Hennessey Viper✦
Listen,✦ it ain't the rappers, it's the rats that worry✦ me
Double R for life, D-Block 'til they bury✦ me
Scared✦ niggas✦ shed off
Or stand way in the back and aim their gat up in the air and let off
Thorough✦ niggas✦ tear a nigga✦ head off
Then let the blood keep drippin' and just wipe the sweat off
[Chorus: Styles P]
We thugs, my niggas✦ (Thugs)
Ride to the death with my man 'cause I motherfucking✦ love my niggas✦
We ghetto,✦ my niggas✦ (We ghetto)✦
Any✦ time, any✦ place, we don't give a fuck, we bust metal,✦ my niggas✦
We gangsta✦ my niggas,✦ you ought to keep your mouth shut (Gangstas)
Watch what you sayin' 'cause we shank you, my niggas✦
We D-Block niggas✦ (D-Block, what up?), we don't play games✦
We just hit you in your frame 'cause we pop niggas✦
[Verse 3: Sheek Louch, Styles P & Jadakiss]
Fuck with P, the thug'll come out, the slug'll come out
You don't put in enough work, I got you, no doubt
They don't want Sheek to wild, better✦ cover✦ your child
With two guns out the sun-roof... Swordfish style
Who that kid? Black mask on with the latch on, the AK
Swing on my shoulder like a Louie bag
You get it in a hurry,✦ all up in your Burberry
Through your assistant, rhrough your fucking✦ secretary
All y'all do me a favor... Walk with me
If you want money✦ or drugs... Talk with me
Know I got my niggas✦ my guns, now hawk with me
Guess who? Jada,✦ P, and The Sheek, three bricks
Three whips, three motherfucking✦ ouies a week
Ten spots OT, two blew off leak
My niggas✦ cop..., pop and toss, and we applying the pressure
So when you address us... It's Boss... Boss... And Boss
[Chorus: Styles P]
We thugs, my niggas✦
Ride to the death with my man 'cause I motherfucking✦ love my niggas✦
We ghetto,✦ my niggas✦
Any✦ time, any✦ place, we don't give a fuck, we bust metal,✦ my niggas✦
We gangsta✦ my niggas,✦ you ought to keep your mouth shut
Watch what you sayin' 'cause we shank you, my niggas✦
We D-Block niggas,✦ we don't play games✦
We just hit you in your frame 'cause we pop niggas✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"doin' life bids in jail / And they way smarter then the white kids in Yale"

① A literal comparison of intellect between incarcerated individuals and Ivy League students.② A social commentary on the systemic barriers that funnel intellectual potential into the carceral system rather than institutions of higher learning.

"when your enemies like ya / When you come through and fishtail in Hennessey Viper"

① Enemies observing you from afar with a mixture of hatred and jealousy.② The performative nature of street fame where the display of luxury goods (Hennessey-colored Viper) paradoxically draws closer scrutiny and violence from rivals.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Authentic, high-intensity vocal delivery

Effective juxtaposition of street hardship with academic success

Seamless trade-off chemistry between Jadakiss and Styles P

Occasional reliance on cliché street tropes

Limited metaphorical expansion, favoring literal descriptions over complex abstraction
