[Hook]
[Verse 2]
It goes good with the hoods and parks and on the block
Perfect for parties✦ and get-togethers if you want it hot
Fix your swag if it's on or not
Get your game right when your plan is you don't want to stop
Feel like life is lost and then you found it
It make you feel a certain way there's✦ nothing you can do about✦ it
It feel like you fiending and you can't do without it
(Don't it drive you crazy)✦
It put you in the zone when you listen✦ to it
It's like a gang you can't get out when you get into✦ it
Memories✦ blend and vision to it
It's like a throw back you can go back reminiscing to it
You taking it out of your mind it's stuck in your mug
You under✦ an influence✦ of an infinite buzz
It's like a hippy✦ from the sixties✦ when you mix it with drugs
(Don't it drive you crazy)✦
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Everything✦ go better✦ with music✦ it's tailored for life it's better✦ suited
Whatever your personal✦ preference✦ is, rock or all the ghetto✦ music✦
Your personal✦ therapist music✦ it's therapeutic
Sit back in a chair and vibe out
And just relax and clear your mind out
And the beat will make you put it in gear and ride out
(Don't it drive you crazy)✦
It make the scenery more vivid for me I can see
Everything✦ is more appealing to the eye to me
It even✦ help a movie tell a story✦ properly
Step by step so a move I choreography
You can unwind✦ to it, wine and dine to it
Pass time to it, shine or grind to it
Like when I put my mind to it, put a rhyme to it
(Don't it drive you crazy)✦
[Hook]

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"under an influence of an infinite buzz"

① The state of being musically intoxicated or captured by the sound.② A play on the 'infinite' nature of the music compared to the fleeting nature of chemical substances.

"Your personal therapist music it's therapeutic"

① Music acting as a healing psychological tool.② A phonetic play where the artist bridges the literal subject (music) with its functional outcome (therapeutic).

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Skillful use of internal vowel matching to sustain the listener's engagement

Strong structural cohesion within the verse block

Relies on literal description rather than metaphorical density

Lack of complex entendres typical of his earlier, more dense work

Somewhat predictable thematic progression
