Verdict
Not for kids

Explicit language, drug use, violence, gun references

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics contain multiple elements that make them unsuitable for younger audiences. There is frequent use of explicit profanity, including the N-word and other strong language. The lyrics reference drug use ('get high, then my memory gone'). There is clear violent imagery, including references to shooting/killing someone and their death appearing in a newspaper. The lyrics also reference criminal activity and incarceration ('ended up in a cell'). While there are some relatable mature themes around financial hardship and perseverance, they are embedded within a broader context of street life, violence, and illicit activity. The combination of explicit language, glorification of violence, drug references, and criminal themes makes this content appropriate only for mature audiences.
