[Verse 2]
Peace signs in the air for son
Put his name on the street sign there where he from
Whenever we hear his bangers, flare up a blunt
And praise God, and pray we all prepared when He come for us
Just opened✦ my new office,✦ West Coast branch
Place my teacup on the saucer,✦ it's Esco,✦ man
Bossed✦ up, nothing feels better✦ than doing deals with my brothers
It's surreal, how I feel, y'all should love us
Life is a test so congratulations✦ to your success
For having✦ patience, you deserve the best
You know how they do niggas,✦ the IRS
People I ain't even✦ met take it out my check
They the biggest gangster, I respect✦ the jooks
We buyin' big boy mansions,✦ they respect✦ the crooks
This for my project niggas✦ and blue Benzes
Mercedes emblems with they bitch with 'em

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Place my teacup on the saucer, it's Esco, man"

① Literal action of placing a tea cup, implying sophisticated, refined lifestyle.② A play on 'Esco-man' (a moniker for Nas) phonetically matching 'Esco-saucer' (Esco/saucer), bridging his street alias with his new corporate status.

"They the biggest gangster, I respect the jooks"

① A direct comparison where the government (IRS) is framed as the ultimate predator ('jook').② Acknowledgment of the street 'jook' (robbery/theft) vs the systemic 'jook' of taxation, showing respect for the hustle while recognizing the hierarchy of power.

Masterful use of internal rhyme to maintain cadence

Thematic pivot from street violence to legitimate business success

Highly stable, authoritative vocal presence

Occasional reliance on standard hip-hop tropes regarding IRS/taxes

Limited usage of highly abstract metaphors compared to previous career work
