[Chorus]
As you come out to the light
Can your eyes behold the sight?
It's only✦ Monday✦
Tomorrow✦ never✦ comes✦ until✦ it's too late
[Verse 2]
Just so you remember✦ who you dealin'✦ with
This Pyrex talks, but I'm the ventriloquist
Language different, I'm damn near an immigrant
A song with any✦ of you niggas,✦ I'm disinterested
The needle is sharp, but they ain't shootin' insulin
You missing the point, these drums ain't Timbaland's
[Bridge]
Never✦ thought we'd go to war
After✦ all the things we saw
It's April✦ Fool's Day
Tomorrow✦ never✦ comes✦ until✦ it's too late
[Verse 3]
We fight for the bill, you niggas✦ still chipping in
You Google to death, the shit I get driven✦ in
My boys in the hood is mixed✦ with the menaces
The cane is sugar✦ and cut by Dominicans
Open✦ the box, it's like ten Christmases
My folks in the box is serving life sentences
I live in a world that never✦ leaves✦ witnesses
Just so you remember✦ who you dealin'✦ with
[Outro]
Tomorrow✦ never✦ comes✦ until✦ it's too late

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Pusha T utilizes his signature coke-rap lexicon to create a stark contrast between his material wealth and the harsh realities of the carceral state, maintaining a detached, authoritative flow that emphasizes his status as a kingpin rather than a peer.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a dense AAAA/BBBB multisyllabic structure, frequently pairing complex drug-related terminology with external cultural references to anchor the rhyme scheme in a grounded, gritty reality.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"This Pyrex talks, but I'm the ventriloquist"

① The Pyrex vessel is used to cook crack cocaine, providing the financial 'voice' of the operation.② Pusha T is the orchestrator behind the scenes, controlling the 'voice' of the trade while remaining the master manipulator.

"The cane is sugar and cut by Dominicans"

① A reference to the physical cocaine ('cane') and its purity/processing method.② A cultural reference to the industry's supply chain involving Caribbean workers, emphasizing the high-quality, processed nature of his product.

"My folks in the box is serving life sentences"

① A continuation of the drug-trade imagery (being in the 'box' as a slang for jail).② The contrast between the 'boxes' of gifts (wealth) mentioned in the previous line and the prison cells (life sentences) his associates occupy.

Exceptional density of internal multisyllabic rhyming

Sharp, cynical tone that reinforces brand identity

Effective use of juxtaposition between luxury and criminality

Flow lacks dynamic variation beyond the staccato, pocketed delivery

Some imagery borders on repetitive for the artist's specific discography
