[Verse 2]
I'm married to the game, same bride just a new groom
I do more then just do tunes✦
Cause my bills come in too soon, my son gonna✦ be two soon
Royalty checks come like once in a blue moon
But I'm getting my dough from doing shows
I made more dough on the grind than going gold
That's why I stay fly and I'm 'flage-ing on hoes
Floss is so cool, in Austin no shoes
Just a rubberband on my wrist, no jewels
I ain't got to prove I'm rich, I'm no fool
I know the rules✦ and I ain't got time for it
But a nigga✦ will shine, when it's time for it
And they will hate you deal with the real cake
And they on the corner✦ from morning to real late
I deal weight and if you bastards doubt me
I'm a hustler,✦ ask about✦ me

[Verse 3]
To get paid you got a save dont be spending the change
In 5th grade I was hustling my Genesis games✦
I was dumb, young, selling chewing gum to my classmates
On the cash chase moving✦ at a fast pace
Never✦ been a dummy,✦ never✦ did what the dummies do
So I had a mill' to burn before✦ I turned✦ 22
"More money,✦ more problems"✦ is true
Because the more money✦ I make, the more problems✦ for you
Yeah, I used✦ dude's✦ voice, props to the boy Shawn
He made it a hot line, I made a hot song
So, stop drawing, man, you got to respect it
I'm the best, Swizz got to perfect it, don't mess with
C-A-double-S-I-D-Y
'Cause I became✦ the best when B-I-G died
The Kid do it big like P-U-N
Cause I'm nice like P-A-C with the P-E-N and

Multisyllabic internal rhymingPhonetic concatenationRhythmic syncopationHomophonic play
Rhyme Architecture: Extremely dense AAAA-style multisyllabic clusters (bride/groom/tunes/soon/moon/soon) focused on sustaining a rhythmic pocket, occasionally broken by rhythmic shifts at the start of new couplets.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"married to the game, same bride just a new groom"
① The persona is committed to the rap industry as a lifelong partner.② A play on 'bride/groom' marriage roles, suggesting the game is the constant entity while the rappers (grooms) are replaceable or cycle through.
"I made more dough on the grind than going gold"
① Accumulated money through street hustling vs. album sales.② A direct comparison of income streams, contrasting independent/illegal labor value against the symbolic industry milestone of 'going gold'.
"I stay fly and I'm 'flage-ing on hoes"
① Wearing camouflage clothing.② Slang derivation of 'camouflaging' to hide his true assets or movements from rivals or women.
Exceptional flow control and adherence to the pocket
High density of internal rhymes per measure
Clear, punchy delivery that maximizes impact on the beat
Limited depth in metaphor beyond standard hustle tropes
Occasional reliance on filler phrasing to maintain the multisyllabic rhyme chain
Vocabulary complexity is low, keeping the lyrical ceiling somewhat confined
