[Verse 2]

Whether it's the hot, warm, cool or the cold season^✦

Pigs be fucking^✦ with a nigga^✦ for no reason^✦

You're just getting home from work

And gotta^✦ get searched and treated like dirt by a fucking^✦ jerk

Niggas in the streets got tough luck

First they get cuffed^✦ up, then get roughed up and that's fucked^✦ up

This every^✦ day, not every^✦ other^✦ week, listen^✦ when this brother speak

Motherfuck turning the other^✦ cheek

Or you'll be layin' in a pine box

Bad enough^✦ they got .38s, now them clowns gettin^✦ nine Glocks

I'm not only^✦ fed up with the cops

I'm also^✦ fed with them punk-ass cab drivers who don't stop

They don't care if it's snowing

First they slow down, then they see your skin is brown, then they keep going

'Cause I wasn't white, the cab took flight

But I caught him at the light and put a bullet^✦ right through his windpipe

I keep a tool with a full clip, the trigger I pull quick

'Cause I'm fed up with that bullshit^✦

[Chorus]

I'm fed up with that bullshit^✦ (bullshit)^✦

I'm fed up (Aw, shit)

I'm fed up with that bullshit^✦ (bullshit)^✦

I'm fed up (Aw, shit)

Rhyme Architecture: A dense, high-frequency internal and end-rhyme structure. The verse utilizes rapid AABB or AAAA coupled-rhyme patterns (e.g., 'cuffed up', 'roughed up', 'fucked up') to mimic the staccato intensity of the subject matter.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"fed up"

① A state of extreme annoyance and exasperation with systemic issues.② A play on the 'fed' (federal agent/police officer) as a subject of the frustration.

"the cab took flight"

① The taxi accelerated rapidly away from the passenger.② A figurative description of the car speeding away as if it were airborne or flying.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency that mirrors the urgency of the theme

Vivid, grounded imagery of police harassment

Strong narrative arc moving from systemic complaint to individual retribution

Limited reliance on complex double-entendres

Narrative predictability in the violent resolution

Minor sacrifice of technical nuance for direct, explicit storytelling
