[Chorus: Chris Brown]
Come on, let's toast the champagne,✦ this one's✦ for the life
Did everything✦ you could just to be here for the night
Man, it feels good, everything✦ is right
Energy✦ is strong enough✦ to brighten✦ city✦ lights
My whole team winnin',✦ no vision✦ on quittin'✦
I'd rather✦ say I did than let them busters✦ say I didn't
Le-le-let✦ them talk about✦ it, mane, I'm already✦ livin'✦
I risked✦ my life to try every✦ day to go and get it, get it, get it
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Supreme ballers, all my niggas✦ got ESPYs
Triple doubles,✦ both wrist and neck freeze
Triple doubles,✦ two bricks and tech squeeze
Triple doubles,✦ two hoes and check please (Woo)
They love me on my Ric Flair shit (Woo)
In that Phantom like I'm Blair Witch (Woo)
Who are you to be compared with? (Woo)
Ain't no niggas✦ that you bled with
Court cases✦ ran base and road aces✦
Lick shots or left bodies✦ with no traces✦
[Refrain: Pusha T]
Yuugh, this the life that we made
Gunshots✦ in the dark like a sweet serenade✦
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
Come on, let's toast the champagne,✦ this one's✦ for the life
Did everything✦ you could just to be here for the night
Man, it feels good, everything✦ is right
Energy✦ is strong enough✦ to brighten✦ city✦ lights
My whole team winnin',✦ no vision✦ on quittin'✦
I'd rather✦ say I did than let them busters✦ say I didn't
Le-le-let✦ them talk about✦ it, mane, I'm already✦ livin'✦
I risked✦ my life to try every✦ day to go and get it, get it, get it
[Verse 3: Pusha T]
Look, my ouija✦ board don't never✦ lie to me
The best rapper✦ livin',✦ I know who's alive✦ to me
Yeah, the competition's all but died to me
Raah, I make these motherfuckers hide from me
The Sergio✦ Tacchini life we uphold
You just posin'✦ for them pics so you can upload✦
[Refrain: Pusha T]
Yuugh, this the life that we made
Gunshots✦ in the dark like a sweet serenade,✦ nigga✦
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
Come on, let's toast the champagne,✦ this one's✦ for the life
Did everything✦ you could just to be here for the night
Man, it feels good, everything✦ is right
Energy✦ is strong enough✦ to brighten✦ city✦ lights
My whole team winnin',✦ no vision✦ on quittin'✦
I'd rather✦ say I did than let them busters✦ say I didn't
Le-le-let✦ them talk about✦ it, mane, I'm already✦ livin'✦
I risked✦ my life to try every✦ day to go and get it, get it, get it

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Triple doubles, two bricks and tech squeeze"

① A basketball term referring to double-digit statistics in three categories.② A literal reference to the quantity of narcotics (bricks) and the discharge of a firearm (tech-9).

"In that Phantom like I'm Blair Witch"

① Driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which is notoriously elusive and dark.② Reference to the film 'The Blair Witch Project' where the entity is elusive and haunting, drawing a parallel to his presence in the streets.

"Court cases ran base and road aces"

① Navigating the legal system (court cases) and managing supply lines (running base).② A double reference to baseball metaphors (running bases) and gambling terminology (aces), describing a high-stakes lifestyle.

Expertise in phonemic repetition creates a percussive, aggressive sonic texture.

High density of internal rhymes enhances the listener's perception of wordplay speed.

Commanding vocal delivery effectively utilizes the 'Woo' ad-lib to punctuate end-rhymes.

The 'Triple Double' motif provides excellent structural cohesion.

The heavy reliance on repetitive structures can lead to a slight sense of formulaic predictability.

The narrative progression is subordinate to the rhythmic constraints, limiting thematic depth.

Some punchlines serve as rhythmic placeholders rather than complex lyrical developments.
