[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, claustrophobic internal rhyme scheme to anchor his gritty, street-level narrative, elevating standard nihilistic rap tropes through superior rhythmic placement and consistent tonal intensity.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"We went from white to green"

① The transition from selling cocaine (white) to marijuana (green).② The shift from racial struggles to financial gain (money/green).

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

① Physical danger associated with being on a high ledge or dangerous place.② The metaphorical 'edge' of insanity or social ruin leading to one's demise.

Consistent, aggressive vocal pacing that matches the grim lyrical content

Masterful use of internal cadence to maintain momentum despite repetitive sentence structures

Exceptional cohesion in thematic world-building

Vocabulary range is limited by the intentional focus on street-level colloquialism

Reliance on predictable violence-based tropes common to early 2000s gritty street rap
