[Chorus]

Now, you can do this on your own

But everyone^✦ knows that no one likes^✦ to be alone^✦

So get on the floor and grab somebody^✦

Ain't nothin'^✦ but a white trash party^✦ (White trash party)^✦

So, let's have us a little bash

And if anyone^✦ asks, it ain't no one but us trash

You don't know? You better^✦ ask somebody^✦

'Cause we're havin'^✦ a white trash party^✦ (White trash party)^✦

[Verse 2]

Pull a fifth of Bacardi from out of my underwear

And walk around^✦ the party^✦ without^✦ a care

Like a body^✦ without^✦ a head

Lookin'^✦ like a zombie from Night of the Living Dead

And tomorrow, I'll probably still be too high to get out of bed

'Til I feel like I been hit with the sharp part of the hammer^✦

Mixin'^✦ Hennessy and Fanta^✦ with Pepto^✦ and Mylanta (Woo)

I shoot the gift like I'm hollerin', “Die, Santa”^✦

Missed^✦ the tree, and hit Rudolph and two innocent bystanders (Yeah)

So quit tryna^✦ play the wall like you Paul

And get on the floor when the beat drops and stop stallin'

They call me the Stephon Marbury of rap, darlin'^✦

'Cause as soon as they throw on some R. Kelly,^✦ I start ballin'^✦

Makin'^✦ it rain for the ladies^✦ in the mini's

But I'm not throwin'^✦ 1's, 5's, 10's or even^✦ 20's

I'm throwin'^✦ quarters, nickels, dimes,^✦ pennies^✦ up at skinnies^✦

Man, I do this for them bunnies^✦ up at Denny's^✦

From the North, East and West

But when it comes^✦ to them trailers in them South-parks

Muffle it, 'cause, homie, that hood's tighter than Kenny's^✦

So ladies,^✦ if your belly^✦ button's not an innie, then I'm outtie

Now hop in my minivan, let's get rowdy,^✦ come on!

[Chorus]

Now, you can do this on your own

But everyone^✦ knows that no one likes^✦ to be alone^✦

So get on the floor and grab somebody^✦

Ain't nothin'^✦ but a white trash party^✦ (White trash party)^✦

So let's have us a little bash

And if anyone^✦ asks, it ain't no one but us trash

You don't know? You better^✦ ask somebody^✦

'Cause we're havin'^✦ a white trash party^✦ (White trash party)^✦

[Bridge]

Now, whether you're black, white, or purple

If you're misunderstood

But you don't give a fuck, you ain't doin' shit that you should

Long as you know you're up to evil,^✦ and you're no damn good

Get on the floor, man, and rep your hood

[Verse 3]

Now, honey,^✦ don't let them pricks trip

We should make a quick dip

And go do some doughnuts in the hospital parking lot

'Cause, girl, I got a sick whip

Kick the back window^✦ out of my Gremlin

Put two milk crates^✦ in the trunk, rip out the stick shift

And make a 5-seater,^✦ I'll be damned^✦ if I feed a chick

It ain't like me to split a piece of dry pita^✦

I be the S-L-to-the-I-M to the S-H-A-D-Y^✦

And I don't need a tank top to be a wife beater^✦

I'll rip a tree out the ground and flip it upside^✦ down

'Fore I turn over^✦ a new leaf, clown

I'll tell you now, I'm so raw, I still need to unthaw^✦

You feel me, y'all? I shut the club down like Drake in the mall

But, baby,^✦ a body^✦ like that's against the law

You the baddest little chain with the blades^✦ I ever^✦ saw

Coleslaw containers, empty^✦ straw wrappers and all

You got more junk in your trunk than I do in my car

Now get up

[Chorus]

Now, you can do this on your own

But everyone^✦ knows that no one likes^✦ to be alone^✦

So get on the floor and grab somebody^✦

Ain't nothin'^✦ but a white trash party^✦

So let's have us a little bash

And if anyone^✦ asks, it ain't no one but us trash

You don't know? You better^✦ ask somebody^✦

'Cause we're havin'^✦ a white trash party^✦ (White trash party)^✦

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse prioritizes rhythmic propulsion and internal rhyme density over narrative depth, successfully utilizing a frantic, high-energy cadence that matches the 'party' theme while relying on shock-value wordplay.

Rhyme Architecture: Extremely high density of internal multi-syllabic rhymes. The scheme relies heavily on feminine endings and vowel-matching across lines, specifically chaining long 'a' and 'o' sounds to sustain the momentum.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I shoot the gift like I'm hollerin', 'Die, Santa'"

① A play on 'shooting' as in rapping or spitting a gift (talent).② A literal reference to a firearm, reinforced by the imagery of hitting Rudolph and bystanders.

"They call me the Stephon Marbury of rap... I start ballin'"

① A reference to professional basketball player Stephon Marbury, signifying elite skill.② Slang for 'ballin'' as spending money extravagantly or 'making it rain' as described in the next line.

"play the wall like you Paul"

① Referring to wallflowers or people standing on the perimeter of a party.② A cryptic or forced reference to 'Paul' (likely Paul Rosenberg, his manager), acting as a filler to complete the rhyme structure.

Exceptional rhythmic placement of multi-syllabic clusters

High-energy, aggressive delivery that maintains tension

Effective use of non-sequitur imagery to maintain a chaotic 'white trash' aesthetic

Reliance on shock-value imagery over complex metaphorical mapping

Content remains surface-level, lacking the narrative evolution found in his earlier work

Punchlines are occasionally dependent on dated pop-culture references
