This track continues the theme of Hard as They Come (Act I) in that the rappers take on different personas that encourage murder in a secondhand way. This particular nightmare is a near-identical segue from the previous track. The urge to commit violent acts has transitioned into a desire to commit full-blown murder. It’s apt that the title is referred to as “Act II” since the second act is where the lowest point is reached and the objective is further away from being reached. Also, the verses remain social commentary. Both verses appear superficially as arrogant braggadocio rapping, but from the perspective of the guises that are used to modify their deadly desires. Guest rapper Big K.R.I.T. raps the first verse as the President of The United States of America while Natti helms the second verse as religion itself, but not any one religion in particular.
