C'mon!
Go, ain't no such thing as enough money,✦ I want it all
A nigga✦ showed✦ me how to go get it, that's somethin' I can't recall✦ (What?)
How you never✦ did nothing✦ for me but tell me one for all?
"How the fuck you run up all them M's without a Adderall?"
That's what they ask me, came up from nothin'✦ now I'm established (Made)
Reach for these karats✦ and get your issue, silly✦ rabbit✦ (Played)
I'm a dog, all bite, no bark (Rrr), no fear in my heart
Lambo✦ truck with the stars I paid 200 sum large
Money,✦ bitches,✦ and chains (Ice), niggas✦ jackin'✦ the slang
Rolls Gold Rollie the only✦ thing 'bout me plain (Pipin')✦
Rolls Royce Cullinan today✦ 'cause it might rain (C'mon!)
That shit came with an umbrella,✦ trap jumpin'✦ like Coachella✦ (Woo!)
I'm sleepin' on some clean, half my money✦ still dirty✦ (Woah)
They know I got a bitch but these hoes still flirtin' (So?)
I'm in the field pissed,✦ feel like Mike Vick, I'm quarter backin'✦
We be talkin'✦ slick so charger don't spit, never✦ lackin'✦ (C'mon!)
Money,✦ money,✦ money✦ (Uh!) Bitches,✦ bitches,✦ bitches✦ (What!?)
All these fucking✦ killers,✦ but the jail's full of snitches✦ (Snitches)✦
A dollar✦ ain't got a fucking✦ thing to do with riches✦
Say cheese, now I got pictures✦ of what a bitch is (Woo, c'mon!)
Money,✦ money,✦ money✦ (Money)✦ Bitches,✦ bitches,✦ bitches✦ (Bitches)✦
All these fucking✦ killers,✦ but the jail's full of snitches✦ (Rragh!)
A dollar✦ ain't got a fucking✦ thing to do with riches✦
Say cheese, now I got pictures✦ of what a bitch is (Woo)
When the dog get hungry,✦ the dog gon' eat
That's when I slide my plate right under✦ a nigga✦ feet
Like the lines✦ in the road, I get down in the street
Come through like brrat, put them cats to sleep
Stay with the heat, cook niggas,✦ shook niggas✦
Me and mine come through, we nothing✦ but crook niggas✦
We off the hook nigga,✦ everybody✦ strip
Everybody✦ get down 'cause my niggas✦ flip
On Jake niggas,✦ fake niggas,✦ snake niggas✦
Make niggas✦ rape niggas,✦ I hate niggas✦
Talking that riff-raff, get back (What?)
They call me extortion, nigga,✦ I get half (Woo)
Money,✦ money,✦ money,✦ bitches,✦ bitches,✦ bitches✦ (Bitches)✦
All these fucking✦ killers,✦ but the jail's full of snitches✦
A dollar✦ ain't got a fucking✦ thing to do with riches✦
Say cheese, now I got pictures✦ of what a bitch is (woo)
Money,✦ money,✦ money,✦ bitches,✦ bitches,✦ bitches✦
All these fucking✦ killers,✦ but the jail's full of snitches✦
A dollar✦ ain't got a fucking✦ thing to do with riches✦
Say cheese, now I got pictures✦ of what a bitch is (woo)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
DMX delivers a high-energy performance that relies on his iconic aggressive persona and vocal cadences rather than intricate lyrical layering, effectively using rhythmic repetition to anchor a straightforward narrative of wealth and street credibility.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse employs dense internal rhymes and multi-syllabic patterns, particularly on the end-lines (e.g., 'established/rabbit', 'plain/rain/Cullinan', 'money/bitches/snitches'), maintaining a driving, predictable pulse common to DMX's later-career style.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"trap jumpin' like Coachella"
① The illegal drug market is active and high-volume (trap slang).② A comparison to the high energy, high attendance, and bustling crowd activity of the Coachella music festival.
"I'm sleepin' on some clean, half my money still dirty"
① Physical act of resting on clean laundry or sheets.② Metaphor for money laundering, where 'clean' represents laundered funds while 'dirty' refers to illicitly gained wealth.
Exceptional vocal energy and commanding presence
High density of rhythmic internal rhymes
Strong structural cohesion through repetition
Limited depth in metaphor and wordplay
Concepts remain largely surface-level
Reliance on established rap tropes without unique subversion
