Shit don't get brazy til I say go brazy
Run up in your haven and pop at your nasal


Your baby gon take me straight down to the basement
Gun to the head she get down to the basics


No dramatization we poppin these gauges
Even the neighbors gon' feel the vibrations


Behind desperation, it's just in our nature
So cold-hearted perspiration turn to glaciers

Ovations

--

Something about the beat has been making me miss what's happening between the lines. I think it's the fact that it sounds too upbeat or happy to be the soundtrack for a home invasion. Sometimes Wayne says some of the most menacing shit, and it just flies over most people's heads for one reason or another. It almost doesn't even sound all that violent if you're not really paying attention to what he's saying. So, to help put it in perspective, I want to try and put his thought process into plain English.

The Claim - He dictates exactly how crazy things are going to get.
The Scenario - He'll break in your house, shoot you in the face, and have his way with your girl.
The Evidence - He's not exaggerating, and the shotgun blasts will even have your neighbors testifying.
The Closing Statement - He's so cold he'll make your sweat freeze.

The ovations bit is technically the start of the next line, but its placement makes it seem like a round of applause for what just happened. Well-deserved.
