Roll up in my car, don't stop, won't stop

I'ma✦ grab a philly,✦ go and roll it at the bar
Whatcha✦ talk? Whatcha✦ say? Huh? (Ah)
Gotta✦ flow, gotta✦ move it slow, huh? (Ah)
Better you runnin'✦ out the door, huh? (Ah)
You gon' be a long lost soul, whatcha✦ say? (Ah)
Yippee yi yo, yippee yi yi yay (Ah)
Put me on stage, watchin' niggas feel me (Ah)
Put my shit on wax, watch it blaze like me (Ah)
Go yippee yi yo, yippee yi yi yay (Ah)

(She's a bitch) See, I got more cheese
So back on up while I roll up my sleeves✦
(She's a bitch) You can't see me, Joe
Get on down while I shoot my flow
(She's a bitch) When I do my thang
Got the place on fire, burnin'✦ down to flames✦

[Chorus]
(She's a bitch) When you say my name
Talk mo' junk, but won't look my way
(She's a bitch) See, I got more cheese

Get on down while I shoot my flow
(She's a bitch) When I do my thang
Got the place on fire, burnin'✦ down to flames✦ (Whoo)

[Chorus]
(She's a bitch) When you say my name
Talk mo' junk, but won't look my way
(She's a bitch) See, I got more cheese
So back on up while I roll up my sleeves✦
(She's a bitch) You can't see me, Joe
Get on down while I shoot my flow
(She's a bitch) When I do my thang
Got the place on fire, burnin'✦ down to flames✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Put my shit on wax, watch it blaze like me"

① Physical act of recording music to vinyl (wax).② Metaphorical reference to the heat/success of the song being 'fire' and her own explosive personality.

"Fifty-five, sixty-five, hike"

① Football cadence signaling the start of a play.② Representing a climb or escalation in intensity/tempo within the performance.

Exceptional rhythmic control and pocket placement

High-energy delivery that creates an iconic persona

Innovative use of vocal ad-libs (the 'Ah' tag) to anchor the beat

Strong structural progression from boast to rhythmic enumeration

Lyrical content relies heavily on repetition rather than dense semantic density

Wordplay is functional and rhythmic rather than multi-layered

Vocabulary usage is sparse, prioritizing sonic texture over complex word choice
