[Verse 2: Billy Danze]
Ayo, let's do it for the hood
Where there's✦ a lotta✦ homicides at
Where killers ride at and OG's reside✦ at
It's rugged,✦ son, I love it, son, I see it every✦ day (This one is full)
Fuck that, we'll find another✦ way to play
So don't mistake me for no rap artist
Listen,✦ old dude is from the old school
He abide✦ by the old rules✦
And our pro-tools is 38 longs (Uh-huh)✦
The crime rate will inflate✦ and the murder✦ rate is strong
How could we get along?✦
And you doing this underhanded faggot✦ shit, you faggot✦ bitch
We gotta✦ get you gone (Chapter one)
William Danze songs
All disloyal guys should be shot in they back once
And left paralyzed (Game over✦ now)
You gon' change me how?
What you thought would happen✦ when they chained me to Fame and Styles?✦
You ask in the hood about✦ it, all it can be is
L-M-O-O-X-P, motherfucker
[Verse 3: Lil' Fame]
You keep thinkin' when I flow, pa, it's a wrap
But when your ass get beat with a crowbar, it's a wrap
For real, we straight thug it
Read my palms, you see more chapters than L. Ron Hubbard (Huh?)
We done dealt more drugs than Genovese
Made dope fiends outta✦ school principals and deans
Now they all fucked✦ up, career✦ finished
Got they ass noddin'✦ in front of the Metho-don clinics (Yeah)
We thug it all day, but it ain't the Henny✦ in me
It's that Brownsville✦ shit with a splash of Trinny✦ in me
All I need is a hammer,✦ and a clip load
I'll stomp through whatever state, borough,✦ zip code
It's the M.O.P. mashin'✦ through your ghetto✦
Rippin'✦ heavy✦ metal✦ (We ruff ryde) with Paniro✦
Listen✦ up, y'all better✦ respect the criminal shit of these OG's
What's poppin',✦ nigga?✦
[Chorus: StylesP, Lil'Fame & Billy Danze]
Don't you ever✦ try to fuck wit M.O.P. and Styles✦
Bucka-bucka-bu-bucka-bu-bucka-bucka-blaow✦
This is for the hood and niggas✦ that's wild
Bucka-bucka-bu-bucka-bu-bucka-bucka-blaow✦
If you 'bout to die or you blowin'✦ the trial
Bucka-bucka-bu-bucka-bu-bucka-bucka-blaow✦
We're gangsta ass niggas✦ that been flowin'✦ awhile✦
Bucka-bucka-bu-bucka-bu-bucka-bucka-blaow✦
[Verse 4: Styles P]
We can beef, I don't give a fuck
'Cause if you kill me, I got niggas✦ that'll bend up your son
It's the world's most gutterest (You know what it is)
Paniro✦ the Ghost, they thought of me when they invented the gun
To tell the truth I prefer✦ the knife (That's what I prefer)✦
'Cause it physical, nigga✦
I go in your chest, I show you how to murder✦ right
It's deep, I'ma✦ kill your mother✦
And I don't care if I die (I don't care)
'Cause all that mean is that I'm going to join my little brother✦
Dog, I had a hard life
And I'm in love with the pain
Thug in the game with heroin✦ and hard white
Back to the guns the way I squeeze off threes off
Leave a hole in your stomach, take a nigga✦ knees off
Face gets splattered around, too many✦ cops for the Glock
Fuck it, dawg, then I'm battin'✦ you down
Don't you ask me what's happenin' now
This ain't a rerun✦
Niggas✦ see P gun, I'm clappin' you clowns, what
[Outro]
You don't wanna✦ touch this
It's Paniro✦ the Ghost, Goodfella like fucking Jim Conway✦
You don't wanna✦ touch this
It's Lil Fizzy✦ with that Brownsville✦ shit and a splash of Trinny✦ in me
You don't wanna✦ touch this
Bill, 38 long, the crime rate will inflate✦ and the murder✦ rate is strong
You don't wanna✦ touch this

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"our pro-tools is 38 longs"
① A reference to firearms (.38 caliber revolvers).② A play on 'Pro Tools' audio software, subverting the industry term to signify the literal instruments of his trade (violence).
"it's a wrap"
① Used in the context of the end of a song (rapping).② Used in the context of a lethal physical assault (murder/the end of one's life).
High degree of rhythmic commitment
Consistent, aggressive vocal presence
Strong command of the beat pocket
Clear, intimidating narrative voice
Limited depth in metaphor
Use of dated, inflammatory lexicon
Lack of intricate, layered wordplay
Linear progression without subtextual shifts
