[Verse 2: Drag On]
My flow dope like the methadone clinic
Pull on the Phantom when you see a don in it
Glove box you might see the Quran✦ in it
Underneath the firearm, am I wrong with it?
I drop the roof to be captured by the sun
Relay✦ my bars and remastered every✦ one
Nigga's✦ wondering where the fuck Drag at
I'm on Twitter hitting✦ everybody✦ back
Drag to the dash, I ain't back to claim shit
I still got the same crown I first came with
If I had to do it all again,✦ I wouldn't change shit
Now I'ma✦ shine when the rain get thick nigga✦
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
It's the world's greatest✦ (Ruff Ryders)✦
Make you throw your bike's✦ up
Make you rep your hood, now scream
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 3: Sheek Louch]
All the pretty✦ girls go round the outside
Porsche or the Range Rover,✦ meet me in the ride
Windows all jet black you ain't gotta✦ hide
Donnie, Razor Ramone,✦ Bobby✦ Backlund✦
This my throne cranberry✦ silver✦ patron,✦ they love me
Hat back like I'm 15 face clean
Nice blue jeans sitting✦ on the Louie
I used✦ to run base and I don't mean ???
A long way from Dr Jays and Conways
I still like hoodrats, some Beyonces
Pop off you ain't ever✦ seen AK's
Top down, Eddie Levert and the O'Jays✦
Donnie killing that UFO✦
It took a little while but Donnie gon' blow
Hater's✦ seen Sheek nope, Donnie on the go
Might as well call me butter✦ cause Donnie on a roll
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
It's the world's greatest✦ (Ruff Ryders)✦
Make you throw your bike's✦ up
Make you rep your hood, now scream
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 4: Jadakiss]
Ayo, personally I think I'm underrated if nothing else
Ask around,✦ they'll tell you Jada✦ is something else
Motherfuck who they know
It's the kid with the diesel bars and […] flow
It's a couple dudes✦ I ain't got rid of yet
But it ain't no rush, niggas✦ is butt like the back of the cigarette
Holla✦ when it's time for the blood to get spilled
I only✦ negotiate for thugs to get killed✦
Hustler, artist, CEO
On the low blowing strawberry✦ Kiwi dro
Sling cane til they cut off my hands, other✦ than that
I'ma✦ spit pain til they cut off my glands
Got work all over✦ the stove, getting money✦ all over✦ the globe
In the Range all over✦ the road
Cribs and the whips is lavish
Double R mob life, Kiss a savage✦
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
It's the world's greatest✦ (Ruff Ryders)✦
Make you throw your bike's✦ up
Make you rep your hood, now scream
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 5: Styles P]
You know me, playing 'Kiss and Ne-Yo with your bitch
Or she can call time, run a trio on your bitch
Shoot 'em in the mouth, bet you he ain't gonna✦ snitch
Fucking✦ with 3 bad niggas✦
Telling your girlfriend to tea bag niggas✦
She's wavy,✦ we crazy✦
ADHD, know where the weight be
On the scale with the guns off safety✦
Eyes hazy,✦ money,✦ mansion, Mercedes
Surrounded by killers, OG's, crack babies✦
Loading up the nine, dope stay a dime
Two blunts in the Watson✦ 749
Red wine avocado, salad✦ with the lamb and
Cilantro head honcho,✦ rocking a poncho✦
Way out in Mexico✦
10 for the bird let you place the decimal
Turn your ass vegetable
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
It's the world's greatest✦ (Ruff Ryders)✦
Make you throw your bike's✦ up
Make you rep your hood, now scream
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 6: DMX]
You the next nigga,✦ well, I'm the X nigga✦
Name still ringing bells so fuck the rest nigga✦
I do this shit for real, y'all niggas✦ is acting✦
I'm old school like Andre the giant and Bob Backlund✦
Cats ain't never✦ been able to ever✦
Fuck with the dog, whatever the weather
I come through, niggas✦ bow down like Muslims praying
I'm just trying to understand what these fools are saying
Don't make me, somebody✦ better✦ take me outta✦ here
This is what it came down to, fuck outta✦ here
Cats gotta✦ fear a nigga✦ like me
I come through in beast mode from New York to AZ
Bitch you fucking✦ crazy,✦ thinking Dog ain't got it
Dog gon' hit it, as soon as soon as dog spot it
I'ma✦ scratch to the death, till there's✦ half of 'em left
I'm the last of 'em left, till the last of my breath
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
It's the world's greatest✦ (Ruff Ryders)✦
Make you throw your bike's✦ up
Make you rep your hood, now scream
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Rhyme Architecture: The rhyme scheme relies heavily on dense internal clusters within lines ('clinic/in it/in it/with it'), maintaining a consistent, repetitive percussive bounce characteristic of the Ruff Ryders production style.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Glove box you might see the Quran in it / Underneath the firearm"
① A juxtaposition of spiritual devotion and street violence kept in the same confined space.② A literal description of the contents of a vehicle, highlighting the duality of the artist's lifestyle.
"Donnie, Razor Ramone, Bobby Backlund"
① A list of iconic professional wrestlers referencing the speaker's 'legendary' or 'tough' persona.② An auditory technique using proper nouns as a rhythmic anchor to transition into the next bar.
High internal rhyme density creates a strong, driving sense of momentum.
Clear, authoritative vocal delivery consistent with the artist's brand persona.
Strong use of rhythmic syncopation to keep the cadence fluid across the verse.
Lacks high-level metaphorical depth or complex narrative layering.
Reliance on trope-heavy imagery typical of late-90s/early-2000s hardcore rap.
Wordplay is surface-level and lacks multi-layered subtext.
