    When the sun goes down and them guns come out

    02

    Them niggas that was talkin' they won't run they mouth

    03

    When them shells start poppin', bodies start droppin'

    04

    (It's so quiet you can hear a rat pissing on cotton)

    Block noteAttacks the target's street credibility

    Target50 Cent

    MeaningWhat it means: In “(It's so quiet you can hear a rat pissing on cotton),” The Game links 50 Cent with police protection or informing, casting doubt on the hard public persona used in the feud. 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 point is to expose a contradiction between 50 Cent's threatening image and alleged reliance on authorities, making later threats sound performative rather than credible.

    Do you see what I see, can you hear what I hear

    With these gimiicks I can't take it they ain't real so they fakin it

    08

    How did they make it in this game for so long

  3. 09

    I know what's right from what's wrong, I know what's soft from what's hard

    10

    I know a federal case, from a publicity charge

    11

    Man I FOUGHT tooth and NAIL to keep them PUNKS out of JAIL

    12

    But hoes wanna go to COURT 'til I pay them for they NAILS

  4. 13

    Who you tryin to be? Man it couldn't be me

    14

    My man spent guap and bought me my Continental T

    15

    You spent your advance on your Continental T

    16

    I know you sick when you clean your RIMS you still see a Bee

  5. 17

    And we see you a LIAR, tryin to DENY HER

    MeaningWhat it means: In “And we see you a LIAR, tryin to DENY HER,” The Game says 50 Cent's public story or image is false rather than a reliable account of who the target is. 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. Once the persona is presented as invented, the boasts and accusations built on it become easier for listeners to dismiss.
