Made for war, my aim is simple and plain
67Yeah, whether it's 'caine, or these tracks made for your brain
68You'll forever know my name, E.D., a made nigga
Block noteQuestions the target's judgment

Why it was said: The recording addresses 2Pac and the Outlawz' rivals through direct names, crew references, and broader threats toward their enemies.
