Pretty✦ little Sally✦ sat up by the tree trunk
White miniskirt with a Betty✦ Boom bum
She had a ass like Deborah Cox, face like Lauryn
Waist like a Coke bottles scoring
Pretty✦ young thing loved✦ the swings
And times✦ she got my ding-a-ling hard
When she said push hard, she kept Vaseline
Open✦ as she swung back, couldn't help her dress blue back
Now held accountable right for my actions✦
Right before✦ the Wallabee Champ was rocking wallows
Drawing crads, sent her rap message through a bottle
Lines✦ from Dolomite, few tips from Goin's
Birthday, gave her two fifty-cent coins
Puppy✦ love, gorgeous✦ face, amazed✦ by lip gloss
Cherry✦ scent, when the princess spoked✦ yo it bounced off
Mole like Marilyn Monroe, threw a rose in her mouth
Wherever God go will be Mrs. Coke
Girl's so pretty,✦ kids with little niddys✦
Hope the years go slow, slow
Surrounded by intelligence, life through education
Healthy minds will grow, grow
Catch me on a bus-stop, dusting, cursing out
The cops are still coming,✦ vibe with me
Everybody's talking about✦ Wu-Tang fronting
But you still telling lies to me
Beautiful in light shows, having✦ no intentions✦ on love
But having✦ strung eyes of oppose,✦ here we go
It's not the way she bubbed✦ the gum, shooked her ass
I'm not the one, double dus, waiting for the bus
The faggot✦ Nore son, now year later✦
Lady✦ 7th floor, building 7-80
Fancy✦ fox, booties✦ for her socks, nothing else can change me
Young Nefertiti, knowledge seed with no jewelry on
Tahitian fresh berry✦ tree, she's a Capricorn
I really✦ liked✦ the girl, had dreams about✦ her
Thinking to myself some nights she got (louder)✦
But hating,✦ was Shinene and Grace and Key-lolo
Trick bitches✦ jumped✦ my boo at the school a few years ago✦
Hit me, you hit me, Grace got the last hit
Eh yo, the bitches✦ started swinging and shit
So I jumped✦ in
Those were the days, made faces✦ in school plays
Paper✦ trays, city✦ wide test, made half a days
Shooting puppy✦ water,✦ might hump the pillow,✦ dick a inch taller✦
Stapleton bum nigga,✦ I'll pop her cherry✦ for her
Fresh air fun, here's✦ dunn, alphabets, berets
Jellies,✦ bubble yum, soda✦ tongue, too young to cum
Then engage✦ him with them candy✦ rings
Eh yo, I hit that shit, got jealous✦ when she kissed✦ Rob
I broked✦ her chicko's sticks
Guys and girls, y'all remember✦ those days, and shit
Girls walk around in school, one ponytail with the beret✦
Next looking like baby✦ powder,✦ you know what I mean?
Those were the days right there
Boston✦ baked✦ beans, girls come to school with mad candy✦
You know what I mean? You'd just come in school for half days, and all that
Just to see that little girl right there, remember✦ I just to just
Go home and think about✦ it, you know what I mean?
May hump the bed sometimes on her, you know what I mean?
Word, those days man, those, those were the good old days right there G
That shit was fun, lunchroom,✦ see in the lunchroom,✦ you know what I mean?
Might get a little, go to the G.O. Store or something,✦ you know what I mean?
Word, buy a little chocolate, a little shake or something,✦ you know what I mean?
A little butter✦ crunch joints or something,✦ you know what I mean?
That's that real shit, G I miss those shits, man
I wanna✦ go back to school, man
That's my word, man
On the real y'all, those were, those were the, goddamn y'all, you remember✦

Internal Rhyme SaturationStream of Consciousness NarrativeCultural ReferencingSyllabic Playfulness
Rhyme Architecture: Ghostface employs an erratic but highly effective scheme that relies heavily on internal vowel matches (trunk/bum/Cox/Lauryn) and multi-syllabic end-rhyme chains that bridge disparate thematic ideas.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Waist like a Coke bottles scoring"
① The physical shape of a classic Coca-Cola bottle (hourglass figure).② A sexualized reference to the 'score' or the act of successful pursuit/seduction.
"Wallabee Champ was rocking wallows"
① Reference to Clarks Wallabees, a staple of the Wu-Tang fashion aesthetic.② A playful distortion of 'wallabies' to signify his status within the culture.
"Birthday, gave her two fifty-cent coins"
① Literal act of giving a child or young person a dollar.② Subtle nod to the hip-hop environment where currency and status are constant themes.
Exceptional rhythmic cadence that mimics conversational speech
Evocative imagery that captures specific 90s aesthetic markers
Dynamic flow variations that keep the listener engaged
Cohesive narrative arc despite the fragmented lyrical style
Occasional narrative leaps that obscure linear comprehension
Some metaphors rely on specific era-based pop culture knowledge
The rhyme density occasionally forces syntax to bend unnaturally
