It's a good song but he got better as a writer

He sounds more like a poet nowadays

"How many tears am I gon' shed 'fore I go? Uh
The pigs been on us, my heart been skipping
I lost religion, my nine ain't perfect
A star is born, sometimes a drive by needed
My baby mama paid the bills, I ain't have s*** on the smoke
The homies tell me I'm a burden but never threw me a rope
They left me hanging on the corner, my whole life is my stash
One more strike, I'm with the lifers, split the fifty in half
I watch a nigga lose his life right in front of his kids
We keep the cycle back and forth, the demons smother our gifts
They put percentages in front of us, wouldn't give us a chance
The only way that we'll see 30 'less we live in the can
Probably miss my mom funeral, my daughter a ho
Because the man of the house ain't the man no more
And the b**** I call my girl, she done found my dope
I sent her in a deep depression 'til her pulse went ghost
And I just sit and watch from Hell as the pyro grow
So long stuck behind the fire, tryna clown my flow
I'll tell you 'bout it"

Yeah but he sounds like he didn't have his coffee yet

Like he's reading from a sheet

That's just 1 example, there's songs all over across his albums after H&C that show that he got better with writing, like read the verses on Blind Threads for example
The verses on H&C were very basic although it's an amazing album

He was all about charisma, hooks & beats back then

If he made himself as a name as a lyricist from the beginning ppl would be paying more attention I guess
