[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

"We went from white to green"

① Transitioning from selling cocaine to selling marijuana② The evolution of the hustler's motivation from mere survival to the accumulation of money

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

Exceptional rhythmic consistency that maintains intensity without losing clarity

Compelling transition from personal struggle to broader cautionary aphorisms

High-density internal rhyme placement that drives the kinetic energy of the flow

Vocabulary range is limited by the gritty, narrow-focus thematic subject matter

Certain line endings rely on conventional street-rap tropes of the era
