[Verse 2]
You could try to front, me, I'm tryna✦ punk
Reminisce on the past, no lights for a month
No food in the fridge, fuck life in this dump
Got a nigga✦ real pissed,✦ act hype if you want
You can get a shot to your body,✦ a knife to your lung
Shit is gettin'✦ dark, yearn for life in the sun
Burn weed, burn money,✦ every✦ bullet✦ in the gun
Every✦ tire on the whip just to get a lil' crumbs
With the yardie's eatin'✦ jerk, smokin'✦ pot, drinkin' Rum
I call my African cousin✦ for dope in the drum
I call my Latin✦ homie for coke in the slums
We went from white to green 'cause none of us is dunce
Feds goin' get you or the lead gon' get you
Or a grimy✦ bitch that give good head gon' get you
If you thirsty for fame, the bread gon' get you
If you walk on the ledge, the edge gon' get you (Ghost)
[Chorus]
Let the truth be told, let the lies be told
Know the good die young and may the wise get old
On a hot summer✦ day, they make your life be cold
You can either✦ play killer✦ or the Gandhi✦ role
Let the truth be told, let the lies be told
Know the good die young and may the wise get old
On a hot summer✦ day, they make your life be cold
You can either✦ play killer✦ or the Gandhi✦ role

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Styles P utilizes a relentless, street-level rhythmic cadence to weave a nihilistic narrative, prioritizing the 'vibration' of the rhyme scheme over complex lyrical abstraction.

Delivery

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a high-density, mono-rhyme suffix scheme (-ump, -ung, -un) that shifts into a persistent 'get you' refraining cadence, creating a hypnotic, percussive impact.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"We went from white to green 'cause none of us is dunce"

① The transition from selling cocaine (white) to marijuana (green) for business viability.② A play on 'green' as money and 'white' as snow/coke, suggesting they are smart enough to diversify their illegal revenue streams.

"If you walk on the ledge, the edge gon' get you"

① Physical danger: walking on the edge of a building or precarious situation leads to falling.② Metaphorical danger: pushing your luck or living 'on the edge' of the law results in inevitable demise.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency that creates a physical sense of urgency

Effective use of the 'list' device to convey the breadth of street dangers

Commanding vocal presence that emphasizes the gravity of the lyrics

Clear, punchy narrative arc that builds to an ominous resolution

Vocabulary breadth is limited by the repetitive nature of the rhyme scheme

Some metaphors prioritize flow over depth of imagery
