[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Got me tiptoeing through the conversation✦ on our calls
Tryna✦ act normal,✦ but the writing's on the walls
It's like I hear you smilin'✦ when you heard they hit the wall
But I just let it ride, so I don't be the next to fall
"They sayin' Terrion✦ been getting money✦ while I'm gone
And won't he tryna✦ holla✦ at my bitch when I was home?"
"Nah, he selling cars, it be him and Lil Rome"
I'm just tryna✦ offset✦ what he was sayin' on my phone
Nowadays niggas✦ don't need shovels to bury✦ you
Pointin' fingers, like pallbearers, how they carry✦ you
So much for 'Death before✦ dishonor'
Might as well have a robe and gavel like Your Honor✦
I just sit and wonder,✦ play it by the numbers
When you ride like lightnin' then you crash like thunder
Seen your baby✦ mama,✦ she ain't even✦ know if she should speak
What the fuck is there to say? Knowing her king's now weak, sayin'
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
Sorry,✦ nigga,✦ I'm tryna✦ come home, yeah
Sorry,✦ nigga,✦ I'm tryna✦ come home
Well, the walls are talkin'✦ to me
And I know you think I'm wrong
But, sorry,✦ nigga,✦ huh, I'm tryna✦ come home – hey!
[Verse 3: Pusha T]
Let's talk real niggas,✦ let's speak real, nigga✦
How many✦ niggas✦ you knew snitchin' you ain't killed,✦ nigga?✦
Covered his own tracks, he didn't care that
We had a legacy✦ he killed,✦ I got to wear that
Every✦ move we ever✦ made is gettin'✦ stared✦ at
I bet the man inside✦ his mirror✦ doesn't stare back
Break your heart when the man you call your brother
Be the same one that set in motion all them undercovers
Called✦ my mom Mother,✦ was at my graduation✦
When I signed✦ my record deal you was my motivation✦
Uh, from great friends now it's no affiliation✦
Divided by the time he was facin',✦ once he told me that
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
Sorry,✦ nigga,✦ I'm tryna✦ come home, yeah
Sorry,✦ nigga,✦ I'm tryna✦ come home
I think the Feds are looking through me
Can't you hear it in my tone?
So, then, sorry,✦ nigga,✦ I'm tryna✦ come home – hey!

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Pusha T demonstrates elite narrative control by utilizing a cold, detached cadence that juxtaposes the paranoia of incarceration with the calculated betrayal of street associates.

"Nowadays niggas don't need shovels to bury you / Pointin' fingers, like pallbearers, how they carry you"

① Physical burial using equipment like shovels.② Metaphorical social 'burial' via testimony or snitching, where the act of pointing a finger is compared to pallbearers carrying a casket.

"Might as well have a robe and gavel like Your Honor"

① The literal object (the robe and gavel) used by a judge.② A biting critique of an associate who has effectively become a 'judge' of the streets by testifying against others.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Thematic coherence regarding betrayal

Strong narrative pacing

Commanding vocal tone

Slight reliance on familiar 'coke rap' tropes

Limited variation in emotional expression within the delivery
