[Hook]
[Verse 3]
They say get a job, you can 'Think & Grow Rich'
But what are you to do when a dollar✦ ain't worth shit
And the jobs ain't hirin'✦ and unemployment is gone
They gonna repo' your car and foreclose your home
Me, I suggest you get yourself a shotgun
So when they come to evict you can make 'em run
The banks got bailed✦ out but we still suffering
So I got a gun cuz I done had enough of'em
[Hook]
[Verse 4]
They say love Jesus✦ and listen✦ to your pastor✦
But Jesus✦ told the truth and the pastor's a lying bastard
All he talk about✦ is economic elevation✦
And all Jesus✦ talked✦ about✦ was soul salvation✦
Jesus✦ sat with the sick and He walked✦ with the poor
And if he gave blood for our sins why we givin'✦ more
I got some gangster disciples at church with me tonight
With that $5 worth of gas and a match book of lights
[Hook]

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Think & Grow Rich"

① Reference to the famous Napoleon Hill self-help book about success.② A biting critique of the 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality in the face of systemic economic collapse.

"got some gangster disciples at church with me tonight"

① A literal reference to attendees who may be associated with the Gangster Disciples street gang.② A recontextualization of the phrase 'disciples' in a religious setting, suggesting that those truly following the spirit of rebellion/service are found in the streets rather than the pulpit.

Exceptional thematic coherence regarding economic struggle

High internal rhyme density that drives the rhythm

Aggressive and persuasive delivery that matches the lyrical content

Metaphorical language is literal rather than dense or abstract

Lacks the layers required for higher-tier wordplay scoring

Predictable rhyme cadences
