[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Distinctive✦ voice is clearly how most remember me
I'm deep like them Instagram posts from Emory✦
Blood make you related but I go off energy✦
Back and forth with Nino,✦ to show off chemistry
Grown man, I don't bust down my watches
I wear classic✦ pieces,✦ nothin'✦ obnoxious✦ (Classic)✦
Long as the streets need this, nothin'✦ can stop this
Goggles over✦ the skully✦ with the Gucci galoshes
More men than Grammys, no Oscars
Calamari and Salmon, no Lobsters✦
Know the big homies,✦ I know mobsters✦
That cooked✦ up families✦ and hold them hostage
Sign the hit list, just mind ya business
'Cause you know they can't wait to line the witness
The clock might stop but the time is endless
They want us to lose but we designed to win this
Not enough bitches and too many✦ bitch niggas✦
That's why you gotta✦ leave 'em in a hole, ditch niggas✦
Too many✦ fake Rico✦ and Mitch niggas✦
The shoes is your size, they don't fit niggas✦ (They don't fit)
With my own eyes I seen it (I seen it)
Never✦ call a nigga✦ ya friend if you don't mean it
Nah, with my own eyes I seen it
You never✦ call a nigga✦ ya friend if you don't mean it, what?
[Verse 3: Styles P]
I don't do that friend shit, I do fam
Niggas'll✦ go half wit'chu,✦ try to clip the grams
Niggas'll✦ see the blueprint, try to switch the plans
Niggas✦ are addin'✦ two cents, ain't shit to scan
Trust is somethin'✦ you earn
A pussy✦ nigga✦ raw, a handgun is somethin'✦ to burn
Yeah, the code of the streets, well that's somethin✦ to learn
As a youth, like you can't go to jail if they don't got proof
Moët on the roof, marijuana in the lobby✦
That's your friend but you can't trust him to catch a body✦
But you in the Benz 'cause you got similar✦ hobbies✦
Like similar✦ hoes, like similar✦ parties✦
That buddy✦ buddy✦ shit'll get you murked✦ in the place
Monkey✦ see, monkey✦ do, don't work with the apes✦
It's a jungle out here, can't work with the Jakes✦
Either✦ you get the long things or work with the eights
These niggas✦ is too soft, these rappers is too friendly
The old me, I would've smacked 'em with two Hennys
But now I'm bein' positive✦
The cognitive✦ skills just seems synonymous,✦ and I'm anonymous✦
But not behind✦ the keyboard
Violate✦ my homie and get a keloid, now that's a friendship
If we ain't blood, but this is kinship
Violate✦ one of my niggas✦ and I'ma✦ end shit
[Outro: Sample]
Friends – how many✦ of us have them?
Friends – ones✦ we can depend✦ on
Friends – how many✦ of us have them?
Friends – before✦ we go any✦ further, let's be friends

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I'm deep like them Instagram posts from Emory"
① Physical depth of thought or philosophical content in his bars.② A reference to the 'Deep' or 'Inspirational' caption style commonly associated with Emory Jones's social media presence.
"The shoes is your size, they don't fit niggas"
① Literal fit: The shoes are literally the correct shoe size for the individual.② Metaphorical fit: The individual lacks the character, 'soul,' or stature required to 'fill' the shoes of a real man or street figure.
Commanding, signature vocal presence
Cohesive narrative arc regarding loyalty and street ethics
Excellent use of rhythmic internal patterns
Confidence in delivery
Reliance on some genre-standard tropes (Rico/Mitch references)
Occasional loss of metaphor depth in favor of list-based punchlines
Predictable ending structure
