Tommy✦ Mottola, lives✦ on the road
He lost his lady,✦ two months ago✦
Maybe he'll find her, maybe he won't
Oh wonder✦ that love
Brothers try to pass me, but none could match me
No girl can freak me, I'm just too nasty✦
Lost on the dance floors, I attack✦ y'all
Snuck through the back door, guess who they saw?
Goldie and Ghost, black African Rose
Star-studded low lenses,✦ plus the mural was dope
Airbrush W-B's, stop! (Shake your body,✦ body)✦
And cop a couple of these (She's a hottie, hottie)
Scott-free and Chauncey, very✦ upset
They're sick and tired✦ of living✦ in debt
Tired✦ of roaches and tired✦ of rats
I know they are over✦
One in the head, I'm fed, this is how we doin'
Put a Ruff Rider✦ on my dick, bust right through 'em
Come out your shirt, insert the party✦ rhyme
Fine Dr. Buzzard, Bacardi Lime
We passin'✦ it, takes✦ the shake your Calvin✦ Klein
Before✦ the floor gets moist, taste and follow✦ mine
Swallow nine, model dimes✦ from Bahamas✦
Slim doo-doo✦ makers stuffed inside✦ pajamas✦
They'll take all your rhymes✦ with a Colgate smile, hey baby✦
They'll love you one second, then hate you the next
Oh ain't it crazy✦ baby,✦ yeah?
Tony's✦ his name, the undefeated champion, whoa, yeah (blow 'em down God)
Now he's alone,✦ he's just the king of his throne (yeah, aha)✦
Always✦ will be my friend, Ghostface Killah✦ (truly✦ yours, peace boo)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Ghostface Killah leverages stream-of-consciousness surrealism and phonetically dense internal rhyming to maintain rhythmic momentum despite highly non-linear, impressionistic narrative content.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse utilizes a hybrid structure, transitioning from simplistic AABB pop-interpolation hooks into a dense, multi-syllabic, internally-rhymed sequence that prioritizes phonetic texture over traditional line-ending constraints.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"One in the head, I'm fed"

① A firearm ready to discharge with a bullet in the chamber② A state of satiety or being 'fed up' with a situation

"Fine Dr. Buzzard, Bacardi Lime"

① A reference to the musical influence of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band② A phonetic pairing used to maintain the flow of the internal rhyme scheme that invokes specific sensory imagery of nightlife

Exceptional rhythmic cadence that survives surrealistic lyrical shifts

High level of phonetic density

Unique, abstract imagery typical of the Wu-Tang aesthetic

Narrative incoherence in the latter half

Relying on phonetic sound matching at the expense of consistent metaphorical development
