[Vocal pickup — low, harmonised] Yeah, I'm your dawg Ooh, ooh, ooh [Chorus A — low-register, relaxed melodic rap] Just say the word, I'm down to ride wit ya Live or die wit ya No switching sides wit ya Let nothing slide wit ya Just say the word, I'm down to ride wit ya Live or die wit ya No switching sides wit ya Let nothing slide wit ya [Brief melody rewind] [Chorus B — loud, clear, projected; layered backing vocals] Just say the word, I'm down to ride wit ya Live or die wit ya No switching sides wit ya Let nothing slide wit ya Just say the word, I'm down to ride wit ya Live or die wit ya No switching sides wit ya Let nothing slide wit ya [Melody rewind — drums and bass continue] [Melody rewind — drums and bass continue] [Melody rewind — drums and bass continue] [Verse 2 — second male MC; fast, animated delivery] What's the lesson? I'm addressing— Smith & Wesson, insurrection, Full erection, too perplexing, Who be next in line to find we ain't lying? [Flow switch — tightly packed syllables] You can shine if you mind what you mind, And what you mind—stay on the grind. Tough as fuck, Chop it up, bag it up, Stack it up, fill the cup, [Flow switch — punchy, syncopated; double rhyme endings] It's the big league, sipping prestige, Diss these—Sotheby's or Christie's. What make you think this shit's free? Gucci slippers only fit me. (Fit me) Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who's the realest of them all? Send a man to the other side, Diss no cinderella ball, Some men rise and some men call To the other side for that soul trade, Where the soul blaze, But you so made, and you so glazed, Venom rage, denim suede, Loafer, gofer, Phantom with the headless chauffeur, All by design, for you to Sign, the dotted line, ink or blood, there’s no denying, once your mine, I own your mind, heart and spine, supreme divine, where the offer binds, for the rest of time, Where you think that I get all these rhymes, Building vines, can you see the signs, Eyes ion but your eyes a blind, Distilled, refined, No time to waste, Coz we ain’t got long in this time and space, Got a make your mark, straight stake the heart, Im just making art, while you taking part, Take it all apart, Put it back in dark, [Return to chorus — original lead voice] Just say the word, I'm down to ride wit ya Live or die wit ya No switching sides wit ya Let nothing slide wit ya
