Demetrius threatened and insulted his enemy at the same time. He would put a hit out on his enemy for only $150, and goes on to say that his enemy is a nobody so it’s not worth putting more than $150 on a hit for him.

This is a dope “I wish a nigga would” line. “I wish a nigga would” refers to wanting someone to provoke you first so you could fuck them up.

On a typical Christmas wish list, most people want electronics, a new car, or money. But Demetrius doesn’t want any of that, he just wishes for his enemies to provoke him first.

Fun fact: The mixtape this song is on, Mixtape Monthly Vol 2: Rewritin' History, came out on December 20th, 2013 which is around Christmas (December 25th).

These lyrics are slightly altered from Crook’s verse on “The Kite”

The original lyrics are…

Out on them streets I put my life on the line
Between these sheets I put my life in them lines
Crooked reciting these rhymes
Givin' sight to the blind
In the dark my recital will shine light in ya mind
Like I cypher divine
I’m a fight for my kind
Nigga, surviving the grind

Check out the song Pocket Full Of Money to hear more about Crook’s hustle.

After Crook got all the cocaine back from the snitch, he was about to leave. But the snitch recognized his voice and recognized him even in his mask.

He didn’t wanna take any chances of letting a snitch go free, especially since the snitch had info on Crook. So he had to shoot him.

Crooked’s saying people left him (and presumably real hip hop) for dead, and turned their attention to songs like the “Dougie” which blatantly disrespects the prowess of true MC’s.
