Chorus✦
[Killer Mike]
You're my path to the pen or the crazy✦ house
I deliver dick raw and won't take it out
Best sheeba✦ your the devil's daughter, can't fake it
Killing me slow, I know and I can't shake it
Please stay, please leave, please don't go
Please walk away✦ and let me be to die slow
This love is deeper✦ than the grave and it's forever✦
Snake pit, you're venom beyond measure✦
Pandora's box a lot, my treasure✦
If love is strong as the grave, make me deader✦
Jezibelle got my soul and my cheddar
Everytime I beat it down, it jumps wetter✦
Like a dark cloud, bringing me pain and bad weather✦
I remain✦ inside✦ of your rain with no umbrella
I couldn't write the words, I blame this letter✦
Til death do us part, we deserve to be together✦
Chorus✦
[Killer Mike]
A living drug, you're the bitch I hate to love
Learned to suck good dick by fuckin'✦ thugs
A nigga✦ can't teach you, spread like a track meet
Breaking D-boys, MCs, and athletes, but not me
Told you from the start this shit forever✦
We gon' go through this bad weather✦ together✦
Whether✦ low road or high side, we gon' ride
Through the fistfights and black eyes, it's you and I
Ike and Tina,✦ our love is measured on a milimeter
They say a partner don't love a nigga✦ til a nigga✦ eat her
But I'm full, and tired of the motherfuckin talking✦
I'll be goddamned if you hit the door walking✦
I'm stalkin, the depths of Atlantis, evil✦ enchantress
Slick and underhanded✦
Fuckin✦ with you like dancing with the devil,✦ no command bitch
Known for leaving niggas empty-handed✦
I lost everything I had just to lust you
Bitch, you take another✦ step and I'll bust you
Bitch you take another✦ step and I'll bust you

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"path to the pen or the crazy house"

① The literal risk of incarceration due to the lifestyle associated with the partner.② The psychological toll of the relationship causing a mental health breakdown.

"Jezibelle got my soul and my cheddar"

① Reference to the biblical archetype Jezebel as a metaphor for a manipulative woman.② The financial drain (cheddar/money) caused by the relationship, signaling total loss of self and assets.

"I remain inside of your rain with no umbrella"

① Literal imagery of being caught in a storm.② Metaphorical submission to emotional volatility without any protective mechanism or defense.

High internal rhyme density creates a compelling, urgent flow

Strong emotional transparency regarding toxic relationships

Consistent thematic alignment between the lyrics and the 'dark' tone of the delivery

Occasional reliance on hyperbolic tropes common in the sub-genre

Limited variation in thematic scope beyond the 'love-hate' binary

Some punchlines lack significant subtext beyond the literal interpretation
