Bar #33
U Not Like Me
50 Cent
Mama said everything that happened to us was part of God's plan So at night, when I talk to him, I got my gun in my hand Don't think I'm crazy 'cause I don't fear man 'Cause I fear when I kill a man God won't understand I got a head full of evil thoughts, am I Satan? I been could've killed these niggas, I'm still waitin' In the telly with two whores, Benz with two doors Thirty-two karats in the cross, no flaws (Woo)
Rhyme Scheme
Mono-rhyme AAAA followed by couplet B and tercet C with internal stacking
Producer Notes
50 Cent utilizes a relentless mono-rhyme scheme grounded in the /æn/ phoneme for the first four bars to establish a grim narrative consistency before shifting to a complex multi-syllabic closure. The flow concludes with a non-rhotic /ɔːz/ structure that exploits New York accentuation to perfectly mesh 'flaws' with 'doors' and 'whores' in a dense internal-to-end rhyme pattern.
