[Verse 2]
Now y'all woke, I'm laughing at niggas✦
Y'all used✦ to say "Nas talking that anti-establishment business"
Look at my settlement cases,✦ gave they asses✦ some stitches
Used✦ to put bottles to faces,✦ all we ask is forgiveness
My past story✦ full of sins, somehow I got a cleanse
Back in 2010, Department of Justice wrote me looking for one of my friends
I ain't know where he was at, didn't even✦ have a hint
And even✦ if I did, a nigga'll never snitch
Cheat code, I walked✦ into my greatness
Freak hoes throw they pussy✦ a party,✦ okay✦ then
Raised✦ by a queen, that's the only✦ reason I made it
King's Disease✦ the recurrence, that shit reinstated
[Outro]
Death to the pessimistic mind state
Lack of hope low-spirit motherfuckers
Life to kings getting a king's ransom, living handsome, ha
Yo, Hit, we did it
King's Disease✦ II

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"King's Disease the recurrence, that shit reinstated"

① A reference to the artist's album series (King's Disease I and II).② A metaphorical assertion that his dominance ('the disease') is a recurring, unstoppable condition rather than a temporary phase.

"My past story full of sins, somehow I got a cleanse"

① A religious/moral reference to receiving forgiveness or redemption for past lifestyle choices.② A fiscal reference to 'cleaning' his finances and legal standing following the settlement cases mentioned in the previous bar.

Technically dense rhyme schemes that maintain conversational flow

Strong command of narrative arc moving from past turbulence to present stability

Authentic, authoritative delivery consistent with the artist's legacy

Occasional reliance on standard street tropes which lowers the originality ceiling

Cadence lacks significant rhythmic syncopation relative to modern technical standards
