[Verse 2]
Look
Which one of these niggas✦ playin' with me?
I'mma✦ strap up and slam his parent's street
When I blast, bullets✦ spit faster✦ than MC Hammer✦ beats
I be damned if he get a chance to sleep
I clamp the magazine in my gun and cut his family✦ tree
I flash the piece at your lil' woman✦ and make her dance for me
Then jam the freak with a broom - blood leak from her panty✦ crease
There has to be some explanation✦ for this insanity
Yeah, y'all niggas✦ faker✦ than that boy (fill in the blank)
Now give me the dank
Niggas✦ claim they want war when I suggest you live in a tank
What's your kid gonna✦ think?
Come home and find your wig in the sink
I dig in the bank, and pull out eighty,✦ then cruise to Haiti
For fifty✦ G's I get ten ki's and straight out weight it
I lock my area✦ down - you can ask these boys
They know Weezy✦ got more white than the Backstreet Boys
Never✦ catch me unattatched without them plastic✦ toys
It get drastic,✦ boy
Niggas✦ that's askin'✦ for it
Weezy,✦ nigga✦
It's Weezy,✦ nigga✦
Who? Weezy,✦ nigga✦
It's Weezy,✦ nigga✦
[Chorus]
I don't think you realize✦ what's happenin',✦ dog
That lil' boy's 'bout to come 'round here blastin'✦ at y'all
And if you don't get the hell when he swervin'✦ by
That's your issue - God bless ya - you deserve✦ to die
[Verse 3]
I hope y'all niggas✦ understand that I ain't playin' or jokin'✦
Bust shots, make you think the Grand Canyon open✦
Leave a busta✦ bandana smokin'✦ from hot hollows
Me and my niggas✦ flip your coke, then cop hot hoes
Two pistols, desperado gun busta✦
Pump one under✦ your chest and knock a lung from ya
Hung under✦ them killers and duck the pigs
And all of our diamonds shine, and our trucks are big
And, nigga,✦ I don't really✦ care if I don't sell a million✦ quick
Cause right now I'll quit and go and sell a million✦ bricks
I sticks to what I love, and that's the street
And stay away✦ from what I hate, and that's police✦
And I keep a trigga✦ somewhere✦ on me to start blowin'✦
And leave a nigga✦ somewhere✦ lonely✦ with his heart showin'✦
When we all knowin'✦ that Weezy✦ have never✦ been fake
The metal will spray and let the bullets✦ tear up your face
Who want this Weezy,✦ nigga?✦ Who want this Weezy,✦ nigga?✦
Weezy,✦ nigga;✦ Lil Weezy,✦ nigga✦
[Chorus]
I don't think you realize✦ what's happenin',✦ dog
That lil' boy's 'bout to come 'round here blastin'✦ at y'all
And if you don't get the hell when he swervin'✦ by
That's your issue - God bless ya - you deserve✦ to die
I don't think you realize✦ what's happenin',✦ dog
That lil' boy's 'bout to come 'round here blastin'✦ at y'all
And if you don't get the hell when he swervin'✦ by
That's your issue - God bless ya - you deserve✦ to die
Say, I don't think you realize✦ what's happenin',✦ dog
That lil' boy's 'bout to come 'round here blastin'✦ at y'all
[Outro]
It's Weezy,✦ nigga✦ - Lil Weezy,✦ nigga✦
Don't tangle it, nigga✦
It's time to step down, ya heards me

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
The verse demonstrates a high level of aggressive technicality typical of Wayne's mid-2000s mixtape era, prioritizing dense internal rhyme schemes and visceral, shock-value imagery over complex philosophical metaphors.

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Weezy got more white than the Backstreet Boys"
① A reference to the racial demographic makeup of the pop group the Backstreet Boys.② A street-level reference to possessing large quantities of cocaine ('white').
"I suggest you live in a tank"
① A suggestion that the rival is in immediate danger of being attacked.② A literal reference to needing the armored protection of a tank to survive the rapper's threats.
Exceptional rhythmic consistency
Aggressive and confident vocal presence
High density of internal rhyming
Strong narrative momentum
Violent imagery relies on shock value rather than lyrical depth
Occasional filler lines to maintain the rhyme scheme
Vocabulary is limited by the obsession with the rhyme sound
