[Verse 3: Jadakiss & Styles P]
You wasn't real wit me
Now you gotta✦ deal wit me
I'mma✦ get you the same tombstone as the real 50
For all of y'all hear us, the bigger✦ the nigga✦ is, the more pallbearers✦
Y'all be wit the cops, we the 44 wearers✦
Y'all scared✦ of the block, same ones✦ we tear up so don't get near us
Cause you could never✦ worry✦ me
I know you been to jail, you
Also✦ been to therapy
In the hood 'til they bury✦ me, my fault
I heard you did a Shock bid in Lakeview, if my man woulda✦ knew then he woulda✦ ate you
How 'bout?
He was in the bunk right next to you and I coulda✦ made him put a L-O-X on you
All ya'll niggas✦ together ain't got enough bars for us
Heard a bunch of shit from ya'll, none of it was hard to us
Kill his ass if there's✦ no cops and he not wired✦
Can't come back to New York, nigga✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Now you rich and you tryna die"
① A play on the 50 Cent album title 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'', suggesting the artist is now inviting death through his actions.② A literal prediction of physical harm ('tryna die') as a consequence of the conflict, contrasting with the commercial brand success.
Commanding vocal presence
Effective subversion of established commercial album titles
Aggressive rhythmic pacing that matches the confrontational subject matter
Limited thematic range
Vocabulary relies heavily on familiar battle-rap vernacular
Lack of metaphorical abstraction
