[Chorus]
Who you drive, platinum✦ cars, who you pull, platinum✦ stars
Do you write, platinum✦ bars, platinum✦ teeth, inside✦ your jaws
Diamond✦ gon' rock my platinum✦ wrist, platinum✦ toilet✦ to take a ish
Gold is gold, and platinum✦ is happenin✦ so, wodie watch this
[Verse 3: Bun B]
U (Under),✦ G (Ground), K (Kings)
Bitch I'm that King of the underground, and the Pope of Port Arthur✦
Keep that fire heat on ya street, and the meat in your daughter
Got no love for a hater,✦ got no hate for a lover✦
Just distrubute my pollution, keepin✦ weight undercover
My brother, now we back up on the block again✦
I got them rocks again,✦ and them blocks again,✦ until the cops come in
But see they better✦ bring the SWAT my friend
Because I promise that we not runnin✦
Nigga✦ we gon' be here all day, posted in this hallway
Keep them cluckers comin✦ in cause we gon' serve 'em all yay
Them nickles and dimes and quarters;✦ that powder✦ the rock you a-boughta
Mo' dope than we oughta,✦ nigga✦ we turnin✦ your projects into✦ The Carter✦
Got automatic starters,✦ for they automatics choppers
And the Texas boy'll automatically break you off somethin proper✦
I knock off a bopper,✦ break down a bird and bust me a flow
I'm down with the Pimp and the Prince, from now ever✦ since
You don't like it you must be a ho, so
[Chorus]
Who you drive, platinum✦ cars, who you pull, platinum✦ stars
Do you write, platinum✦ bars, platinum✦ teeth, inside✦ your jaws
Diamond✦ gon' rock my platinum✦ wrist, platinum✦ toilet✦ to take a ish
Gold is gold, and platinum✦ is happenin✦ so, wodie watch this

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Bun B demonstrates elite command of regional cadence and 'heavy' delivery, utilizing repetitive internal rhyme structures to create a claustrophobic, intense atmosphere consistent with the 1999 Southern hip-hop aesthetic.

Rhyme Architecture: Bun B employs a highly rhythmic, repetitive scheme that focuses on 'A-A-A' end-rhyme clusters (e.g., 'again/again/again', 'hallway/yay/a-boughta') supported by heavy internal rhyming that mimics a trance-like, percussive state.

"King of the underground, and the Pope of Port Arthur"

① A high-ranking authoritative figure in the local music scene② A play on religious hierarchy ('King' and 'Pope') to establish regional dominance in his hometown

"turnin your projects into The Carter"

① Turning the local neighborhood into a high-traffic drug distribution zone② A nod to the notorious Magnolia Projects ('The Carter'), synonymous with extreme drug commerce

"distrubute my pollution, keepin weight undercover"

① Spreading his influence and lyrics like a toxin② The physical act of trafficking large amounts of narcotics ('weight') while evading law enforcement

Commanding vocal presence and authority

Exceptional rhythmic consistency within the pocket

High density of internal rhyming

Effective use of Southern regional slang for authentic narrative

Metaphorical complexity is lower than his later career work

Relies on standard street-hop tropes typical of the era

Occasional forcing of multi-syllable rhymes at the expense of syntactical flow
