  5. 09

    Dear Mr. President

    10

    I wrote you a letter

    11

    Everybody askin' about Hot 97

    12

    If I squash the beef

  6. 13

    Thats my business man

    14

    My nigga got shot

    15

    And he didn't take the wittness stand

    16

    I got kicked out of G-Unit

  7. 17

    No hard feelin's

    18

    And the Aftermath

    19

    Is me and Dre still chillin'

    20

    Had a press conference

  8. 21

    No more killin'

    22

    Guilty conscience

    23

    Donated a half a million

    24

    And Al Sharpton said hip-hop was over

  9. 25

    The bigger the stunt

    26

    The more albums get sold

    27

    But 3 hollow tip's left my nigga in the cold

    28

    In front of the radio station

  10. 29

    Bleedin' in the cold

    30

    Meanwhile the gun man

    31

    Runnin' for the backdoor

    32

    I ain't see his face

  11. 33

    Ask Sha-Money he know

    34

    I ain't got beef with Banks, Buck, and Tony Yayo

    35

    But they still airing you out on mixtapes

    36

    So?

  12. 37

    [Hook:]

  13. 38

    I got love for them

    39

    But I got hate for them

    40

    Should I let it slide?

    41

    Or sit outside and wait for them?

  14. 42

    If I use the Glock 9 OR .38 for them

    43

    You gonna need a black suit and a wake for them

  15. 44

    I got love for them

    45

    But I got hate for them

    46

    I don't know if I should lay 'em down

    47

    Or pray for 'em

  16. 48

    Tell them nigga's if they ain't got cake for 'em

    49

    Then stop callin' Aftermath and Dre for 'em

  17. 50

    [Verse 2:]

  18. 51

    Nigga's sayin' Game you don't need no clique

    52

    You got the hood ridin' with you

    53

    Man fuck 50 cent

    54

    Soon as I turn my back they talkin' shit about me

  19. 55

    Who wanna see 2 more rappers deceased?

    Multi-line diss block
    56

    Okay 50 got a gun

    57

    Game got a gun

    58

    He shoot me

    Block noteImagines the battle as physical destruction

    Target50 Cent

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Okay 50 got a gun,” The Game converts lyrical defeat into death, shooting, burial, or bodily harm directed at 50 Cent. Why it was said: The Game attacks 50 Cent and G-Unit after his removal from the group and the collapse of their public reconciliation. The violent image makes the response sound final: instead of proposing an endless exchange, the artist depicts 50 Cent as unable to return for another round.
