[Verse 2: Styles P]
I go to sleep and my soul cry, nigga✦ it's no lie
Why you think I'm so high, I flow like it's no time
Funny✦ when your mind is a goldmine, and niggas✦ is golddiggers
Guess you gon' learn when it's yo' time
Stressed up to my shoulders, fuck it I'mma✦ ride now
Brim of the Yankee, sittin✦ on my eyebrows
Look at the stash and think that I'm gassed✦
Off the Godfather saga✦ cause Vito✦ wouldn't lie down
Me and destiny got a date, wheover with me rollin✦
If you ain't then you go get your 8, cause I ain't gon' fold
I take 'em all on
I've been dyin for the day to get my war on
I reflect on the days when I played Rahway✦ gettin✦ my score on
And came back to the hood with my forearms
Go get more mans, I got floor plans
And 23 ways to blow you out of them Jor-dans
[Chorus: Sizzla]
Try to beat me but don't worry✦ I got dem
Make dem bleed blood it's a pleasure to squash dem
They ain't allathat so, I saw dem
Escapin from de cops dem ain't see me tryin to stop dem
Say you're livin✦ BIG~! On top of de world
You go against✦ me you gon' get freed on dis side of de world yah
They say you're mad I say things comes✦ and go
But I never✦ leave mi gun because I wan kill dem fuckin✦ punks
[Verse 3: Styles P]
Some niggas✦ say I'm the sickest
If I got a show ghetto✦ niggas✦ go get the ticket✦
If I ain't blow on the stage, I had me a gauge
Outside on some bullshit,✦ ready✦ to stick it
Like the hood made me wicked✦ as hell
Thought about✦ more bullshit✦ sittin✦ in jail, listen✦ up
It's nothin✦ more important than feedin✦ your seeds
I got two, so I just start believin in greed
It's like I'm needin✦ the weed and needin✦ to read
Got to go against✦ the odds just to even✦ achieve
It's like I'm tired✦ of the hassle and all that
You the king I run up in your castle and all that
I'm nicer✦ than whoever you can name, been through the dark side
Walked✦ back through the flames✦ and came with a lightning push
Shined✦ on the game, and e'rybody die
At the drop of a dime if they rhyme on my name
[Chorus: Sizzla]
Sit bak relax heah we kickin✦ for a while
Sizzla✦ Kalonji and Styles,✦ yeah beautiful girls dey smile
Bless your feet on de Jamaican side, dat's de profile
Why de fuck de fuckin✦ enemies wanna✦ spoil, yeah
True born leaders woo yeah we navigate✦
Yah life is a cycle, so things got to gravitate✦
Smoke de fuckin✦ herb, that's how I meditate✦
One love to de world, damn tell dem we ain't gon' seperate✦
[Outro: Styles P]
Shit is crazy,✦ life is somethin really✦
I'm the Ghost, woo~!
We gotta✦ live though, fuck it y'know✦
I know, feel me nigga✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Styles P utilizes a disciplined, monochromatic delivery to contrast with dense internal rhyme structures, creating a 'weighty' aesthetic that mirrors the lyrical themes of exhaustion and street tension.

Delivery
Multisyllabic internal rhyme chainsCinematic allusionStaccato rhythm shiftsVowel assonanceEnjambment for rhythmic tension
Rhyme Architecture: Styles P utilizes a predominantly AABB/AAAA structure anchored by heavy multi-syllabic internal rhymes ('goldmine/golddiggers', 'shoulders/soldiers' implied, 'forearms/floor plans/Jordans'). He uses the rhyme to drive the narrative forward, often letting the end-rhyme serve as a rhythmic pivot.
