Percee cocks his gun and shoots at your abdomen. Your ribs break and probably fuck your internal organs up too.

Percee murders every verse he’s on. First degree means that it was pre-meditated.

Very dope line. He’s saying that all rappers are worried about is battling, they’re so occupied with it that they don’t even know what’s really going on. The result of all their blabbering – no one wants to buy their albums and thus they stay on the record store shelves.

Nice simile here. Royce is comparing himself to a camera. Cameras “flash” (by this, Royce means arrive out of nowhere. Also, they “shoot” what they see, just like Royce. They then develop the photos, but in Royce’s case, his career and skills develop.

He shoves dead people (in moderately sized portions mind you) into the mouth of a man-swordfish hybrid which has massive teeth. Nice.

He doesn’t have any money. The term “my dough is long” or any variation of the word money is long. He’ll spray napalm (continued from the earlier line) at you.

Napalm was a chemical used mainly during WWII and Vietnam. Napalm actually sticks to your skin and you can’t remove it. Apparently, napalm survivors say that it feels like a fire is being started under your skin, hence it being “buried in your skin”

Ever since Percee was young, his raps had even the best MC’s hearts beating.

You do have to feel bad for his mom though. His flows were flesh-eating while he was breast-feeding. I bet they switched to the bottle pretty quickly.

Some nice parallelism here too. Obviously breasts are on the chest, but he also has the other rappers chests beating. He keeps the chest theme running in a subtle way.

Really far-out line with some crazy imagery. He continues his reference to forces in this line, and adds on to it by saying that ALL of the forces of life have been put into a fight between good and bad. Deep shit.
