[Verse 2: Styles P]
Trying writing✦ a movie, trying writing✦ a book
But even all alone✦ I spend my night with a crook
Try to overstand, try to overlook
Remember how a pig and a rat had a colder✦ look
I'm spiritual, I don't read Jehova's book
Or Allah's book, or God's book
Just a man and it's easy✦ not a hard look
I don't't trust you, so don't trust me
Bullets shiny,✦ blades rusty✦
Fuck with me, Fuck you that's how it must be
This is D-Block, This is L.O.X
Yeah I'm saying goodbye but I ain't said hello yet
[Chorus: Tyler Woods]
Living✦ this street life (living✦ this street life)
That hood life (out on the corner)✦
Living✦ this gangsta✦ life (living✦ this gangsta✦ life)
Gotta✦ sacrifice✦ (gotta✦ do it)
Living✦ that street life (living✦ this street life)
That hood life (living✦ oh yeah)
Living✦ this gangsta✦ life (Living✦ this gangsta✦ life)
Gotta✦ sacrifice✦ (ohow)✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Styles P utilizes a minimalist, confrontational delivery style that relies on heavy internal rhyme density and a repetitive, hypnotic cadence to establish his street-hardened persona.

Rhyme Architecture: Styles employs a high-density AAAA monorhyme structure for the first eight lines, focused on the 'ook' vowel sound, followed by a transition into shorter, punchier declarative couplets.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Trying writing a movie, trying writing a book / But even all alone I spend my night with a crook"

① The literal act of writing fiction or screenplays.② The autobiographical reality of his life, where the 'crook' is his own shadow or conscience, reflecting his internal conflict as a hardened street figure.

"I'm saying goodbye but I ain't said hello yet"

① A literal farewell to the lifestyle or the person addressed.② The paradoxical nature of his existence; he is constantly exiting the 'street life' while never having truly introduced himself to a stable, civilian alternative.

Consistent, aggressive vocal presence

Highly effective use of internal rhyme to maintain flow

Strong thematic cohesion regarding street skepticism

Lyrics lean toward established tropes rather than complex linguistic innovation

Some lines (e.g., 'bullets shiny, blades rusty') prioritize rhyme sound over deep metaphorical utility
