[Chorus: Don Q]
I promised✦ they never✦ take me alive✦
I promised✦ they never✦ take me alive✦
[Verse 2: Styles P & Jadakiss]
I promised✦ they'll never✦ take me alive✦
Walk in the Beamer✦ dealer✦ take me a 5
Walk in the gun range take me a .9
Walk in the dope spot take me a dime
Walk in the bookie spot and take me a line
We hoppin'✦ off the jet in Japan,✦ fuck Bape up
Cashmere skully✦ on top of the mean shape up
You ain't gon' be happy✦ 'til they put they yellow✦ tape up
I ain't gon' be happy✦ 'til my niggas✦ shoot the wake up
Couple niggas✦ cake'd✦ up, a couple niggas✦ was starve, ya
Couple niggas✦ shot and a couple niggas✦ was carved,✦ ya
Come to your hustle you either✦ small or you large, ya
Know we about✦ that paper,✦ you know it's the black mob ya
Kill 'em and leave his jewelry on 'em, we consider it
To smart to hold a conversation with the illiterate
That'll put the team in jeopardy
You know we got them bricks with the cut that's sold separately
35 hundred of bottle of Chardon Hennesey
Feeling heavenly, blowing God's gift in Beverly
Hills blowin'✦ bags of rodeo, fuck all my enemies✦
Fuck around and bust off this gun cause muscle memory✦
Life it's consequences, repercussions or penalties✦
I can give you the game just come to the assembly
No matter✦ what just know they could never✦ destroy the energy✦
For now live life and just enjoy✦ the amenities✦
You can make it happen✦ for you or watch it happen✦ for them
Why you think niggas✦ is packed✦ in the pen
Niggas✦ don't know how to act in the Benz
Couple of bands on 'em
Crosses, couple of feet, couple of hands on 'em

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Styles P utilizes a disciplined internal cadence and repetitive list-structure to emphasize a grimy, hardened persona, balancing minimalist street imagery with a sharp, elitist perspective on industry status.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse begins with a highly repetitive AAAA structure built on the 'alive/five/nine/dime/line' sound, transitioning into a consistent AABB/CC pattern defined by multi-syllabic end-rhymes (Japan/shape up/tape up/wake up).
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Walk in the Beamer dealer take me a 5"

① The literal act of purchasing a BMW 5-series.② A play on the previous line's 'alive' (phonetic echo) while implying the acquisition of product/wealth.

"I ain't gon' be happy 'til my niggas shoot the wake up"

① Firing weapons at a funeral service (a wake).② A dark metaphor for turning a peaceful memorial into a violent event, forcing others to 'wake up' to the reality of the violence.

"To smart to hold a conversation with the illiterate"

① Literal inability to read/write.② A disdainful critique of peers or enemies who do not understand the 'language' of the streets or business logic.

Commanding, effortless vocal authority

Strong structural consistency

High density of internal rhyme chains

Reliance on predictable list-format sequences

Limited variation in thematic depth outside of traditional street tropes
