[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

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"We went from white to green"

① Transitioning from selling cocaine to selling marijuana② Moving from the poverty of 'white' (blank/empty) prospects to earning 'green' (money)

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

① Literal danger of being in a high-risk physical position② Metaphorical instability where one's 'edge' (mental limit or vulnerability) causes their downfall

Visceral, high-impact imagery that establishes atmospheric tension

Exceptional rhythmic pocket and consistent breath control

Coherent thematic trajectory moving from personal struggle to systemic street consequences

Limited vocabulary range compared to technical lyrical peers

Over-reliance on aggressive street tropes which borders on formulaic for the era
