[Chorus: Nas with Blxst]
That's brunch on Sundays✦
Mad blunts, real runts girls, tryin' to act up
Gotta✦ keep it classy,✦ this ain't time to act tough
Eye to eye when we toast, we don't need no bad luck
That's brunch on Sundays✦ (Cheers)
Bring the hookah✦ to the table she gon' smoke until✦ her lungs ache (Cheers)
That's brunch on Sundays✦
Postin'✦ pictures✦ on the 'Gram hashtaggin',✦ "Sunday✦ fun day"
[Post-Chorus: Nas & Blxst]
It's my favorite✦ day of the week (Oh)
It's my favorite✦ day (Oh)
It's my favorite✦ day of the week (Yeah, yeah)
To make it Sunday✦ to Sunday,✦ that shit is deep
[Bridge: Blxst]
Keep it playa at all times✦
Be patient, it's all vibes✦
You fuckin'✦ with the latest and greatest of our time
They know if I'm winnin',✦ we winnin',✦ we all shine
Make sure my people got a plate at the table before✦ mine
[Verse 3: Nas]
That's brunch on Sundays,✦ this one's✦ different✦
It's the good guy mixed✦ with American Pimp shit
I got Birkin✦ money✦ but the Telfar carry✦ different✦
That's a black business,✦ I handle my Black business✦
Stay out of Black woman business✦ 'less you invested in it
Told her check her Zelle account, there's✦ a blessin' in it
That's brunch on Sundays,✦ she belong on a runway✦
White Celine✦ visor to block the sunrays✦
Oysters work as an afrodisiac (Yeah)
Soulful Sundays,✦ run Anita✦ back (Rapture)
Gave her sweet love she said she needed✦ that
Still a playa baby,✦ I know you seen The Mack
[Chorus: Nas with Blxst]
That's brunch on Sundays✦
Mad blunts, real runts, girls tryin' to act up
Gotta✦ keep it classy,✦ this ain't time to act tough (Classy)✦
Eye to eye when we toast, we don't need no bad luck (Bless up)
That's brunch on Sundays✦ (Cheers)
Bring the hookah✦ to the table she gon' smoke until✦ her lungs ache (Cheers)
That's brunch on Sundays✦
Postin'✦ pictures✦ on the 'Gram hashtaggin',✦ "Sunday✦ fun day"
[Post-Chorus: Nas & Blxst]
It's my favorite✦ day of the week (Oh, let’s break bread)
It’s my favorite✦ day (Oh)
It's my favorite✦ day of the week (Yeah, yeah)
To make it Sunday✦ to Sunday,✦ that shit is deep (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro: Blxst & Nas]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
That's brunch on Sunday,✦ oh
Break bread with the people, yeah

Critic Analysis

Nas balances high-fashion cultural signifiers with established persona archetypes, using brand luxury as a metaphor for the evolution of his own status and maturity.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse utilizes a polished AABB-adjacent structure with heavy reliance on internal assonance, particularly the repeating 'ih' and 'ent' vowel sounds across the lines.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I got Birkin money but the Telfar carry different"
① Literal financial capacity: He has the immense wealth required for an Hermès Birkin bag.② Cultural signaling: He acknowledges that while he has 'old money' status, he chooses to support Telfar (a brand synonymous with Black community uplift and accessible luxury), asserting that his values/carrying of status is different from the traditional nouveau riche.
Strong economy of language
Effective juxtaposition of luxury fashion house identities
Smooth rhythmic integration into the established chorus flow
Reliance on brand-name recognition as a substitute for complex narrative imagery
Slightly predictable rhyme endings compared to his most experimental work
