The song begins with Uncle Murda acknowledging that it is a personal story, encouraging listeners to roll up some weed and pour themselves some Hennessey to fully immerse themselves in the song. He mentions that if someone they know has been recently arrested, they can relate to the realness of his lyrics. Uncle Murda reflects on his experiences of killing people who pose a threat to him and his crew. He mentions that if it wasn't for the statute of limitations, he would reveal the names of the individuals they have killed. Uncle Murda's crew reacts to his wild words, telling him not to let the rap fame get to his head as it could land him in federal prison. Despite the warnings, Uncle Murda expresses his lack of concern towards other rappers who may be upset by his diss tracks, as he only focuses on his own safety. 50 Cent, who is featured on the song, adds his own perspective. He dismisses those who claim to be involved in the streets without truly understanding the consequences. 50 Cent challenges individuals to leave the drug trade behind and suggests that their lives are at risk if they continue down that path. He mentions that rumors circulate about him being involved in certain incidents but denies any involvement. 50 Cent emphasizes that he is solely focused on hustling and securing his own wealth, with no knowledge of anyone being shot in the head. Uncle Murda resumes his verse expressing that God doesn't care about the people they have killed since they are now in hell. However, he mentions that the police are determined to incarcerate them, frustrated by their inability to obtain any witnesses or evidence of their wrongdoings. Uncle Murda recounts a conversation with his friend who questions his decision to write songs about their violent activities, interrupting a recording session. The friend advises Uncle Murda not to incriminate himself through his music, stating that it deviates from how they typically operate. Uncle Murda concludes the song by proclaiming that black lives matter and that he has already taken care of someone without mentioning the person's name. He suggests going back to the chorus, reinforcing the idea that if they were to reveal any more information, they would end up in federal prison. Overall, "Statute Of Limitations" portrays the harsh reality of street life and the internal struggles that come with it. It explores the conflicts between personal expression through music, the consequences of violence, and the constant risk of getting caught by law enforcement.
