[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I talk that talk from the gutter✦ my game don't stutter
I can tell you why white milk be making✦ yellow✦ butter✦
Some cats, they be shifty,✦ some cats they be iffy✦
So I move swiftly, play the field like Ken Griffey
Because,✦ I be the all mighty,✦ relax like Tai Chi
Making✦ it irie
I flow over✦ tracks when the beats are mean
Girls I go downtown when the streets are clean
Make it happen✦ all my peoples
More chips than Doritos I know we all trying to see those
So I return to give you more again✦
Because✦ my name dates✦ back until the game's✦ origin✦
See what the fact is, is you need practice
With girls I just mack this, stick em in just like cactus
Watch me now, baby✦ it's all right
I got bunions on my game from it being too tight
[Chorus]

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I got bunions on my game from it being too tight"

① Physical ailments caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes (literal interpretation).② A metaphor for his lyrical style being so condensed, focused, and high-pressure that it creates tension, implying his skill is exhausting or 'painfully' sharp.

"More chips than Doritos"

① A reference to the snack food brand known for its corn chips.② Slang for having more money/capital/wealth than the market supply of snacks, emphasizing his financial success.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency and flow pocket

High internal rhyme density characteristic of Golden Age technical excellence

Confident delivery that masks simpler lyrical content with charisma

Wordplay is occasionally superficial or overly reliant on simile

Narrative arc is secondary to maintaining the flow state

Some punchlines lack depth beyond the initial comparative imagery
