Cup of painkiller✦ to the head I’m feelin’✦ lost
Know what I give but they don’t understand✦ the cost
Still on my own and that's my one and only✦ fault
Value love above✦ it all
I know gratitude✦ is God
Lately✦ I been feelin'✦ lost
Ridin'✦ low and gettin'✦ higher✦
Sippin'✦ on this fire
Watching✦ my mirror✦ slip away✦ from someone✦ I admire,✦ again✦
Become✦ a liar again✦
Become✦ a liar again✦
By lying to myself that is
Trust me you don't know what to know what type of hell that is
Will never✦ aid me on my journey into✦ selflessness
Become✦ a liar again✦
Caging✦ this lion within✦
Yeah
Life on my own, if they don't know me
I don't give a fuck about✦ 'em
Though it's hard to know me, as I sit on top this mountain
100,000 grams & counting
I'm astounded that I'll still alive✦
The hero✦ dies or sticks around✦ until✦ he's vilified
All black, my fashion Gotham, $100,000 in my pocket✦
Yet I lost my sense of freedom
Funny✦ how they swung around✦ when I no longer✦ need 'em
Feelin'✦ blind and killin'✦ time until✦ I get the needle
Brother✦ you were like my brother✦ how the fuck we ever✦ let this money✦ get between us?
A mystery to me
Though history is deep
I'm searching through it, open✦ doors to all the missing keys
Of turning pain into✦ a symphony
This vibe a demon✦ that got into✦ me
And started twisting up my energy✦
Cola mix up with the Hennessy
Cold as the December✦ breeze
Numbing out my memory✦
Until✦ I can't remember✦ me
Toastin' to my enemies
Cup of painkiller✦ to the head I’m feelin’✦ lost
Know what I give but they don’t understand✦ the cost (at all)
Still on my own and that's my one and only✦ fault
Value love above✦ it all
I know gratitude✦ is God
Lately✦ all that shit is gone
Ridin’✦ low and gettin'✦ higher✦
Sippin’✦ on this fire
Watching✦ my mirror✦ slip away✦ from someone✦ I admire,✦ again✦
Become✦ a liar again✦
Become✦ a liar again✦
Caging✦ this lion within'✦
Ugh
And I know what type of hell that is
Selfishness

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse relies on introspective, thematic consistency rather than dense lyrical acrobatics, utilizing a recurring 'liar' rhyme scheme to emphasize personal conflict, though it occasionally sacrifices rhythmic complexity for emotional honesty.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB/CC with heavy internal rhyme clusters using the 'lost/cost/fault/fault' and 'liar/fire/higher/admire' sound banks, transitioning into a more rigid, punctuated structure for the final bars.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"100,000 grams & counting"

① A reference to the physical weight of product/drugs being moved.② A play on 'grand' (money) and the scale of his success/accumulation.

"All black, my fashion Gotham"

① A reference to wearing dark clothing, fitting the aesthetic of the Batman universe.② A metaphor for the dark, crime-ridden, and desolate mental state of his 'journey'.

"Ridin' low and gettin' higher"

① Physical elevation (driving a low-rider or rising status).② Substance-induced euphoria (getting high) contrasted with the pain of the 'fire' (painkillers/trauma).

High level of vulnerability and thematic cohesion

Strong technical foundation in multisyllabic rhyme placement

Excellent use of phonetic repetition to simulate cyclical self-deception

Some phrasing feels forced to maintain the 'liar/higher' rhyme bank

Reliance on trope-heavy imagery (e.g., Gotham/Batman references)

Vocal delivery performance is implied but constrained by the repetitive nature of the mid-verse bridge
