[Verse 2: Propain & Freddie Gibbs]
Who was fuckin'✦ up summers until✦ the fall came? (Yeah, yeah)
Parkin'✦ lots, we undefeated, pussy,✦ ball game
I told my niggas,✦ "Ain't no stoppin' until✦ we all paid"
I need my bros fabulous, I'm hustlin' like I'm Paul Cain
She could be as bad as Rihanna, I'm not at all fazed✦
If it ain't money,✦ I sidestep her, the Chris Paul trades✦
They takin'✦ pics with paper✦ we callin'✦ small change
These rappers✦ rockin'✦ a fuckin'✦ middle-of-the-mall chain
Gimmicks, niggas✦ dyin' for a image✦
And meanwhile, I'm in the sky with a supplier talkin'✦ business (Yeah)
Ain't never✦ hung with rappers,✦ just connivers and some henchmen
And some hustlers who got dreams of turnin'✦ dollars into✦ millions,✦ uh
I'm from the jungle where it's all evil,✦ laws even✦
Question us, gettin'✦ nothin',✦ it's like you ask did Ray Charles see it? (Yeah)
At an early✦ age, I learned these broads schemin'
Set my nigga✦ up, she had my dog bleedin', mama✦ hollerin', "Lord Jesus" (Damn)
Fourteen, whole body✦ shakin',✦ look like I caught seizures (Facts)
Shit had the whole block hot, felt like we caught fevers (Facts)
It wasn't no options,✦ you died or either✦ fought demons (Facts)
Born to lose, raised✦ to win, I made my city✦ all believers (Yeah)
Labels tried to front on a nigga,✦ they even✦ stalled even✦ (Ayy)
Now I'm like a king of the underground, I'm Bernard Freeman (What?)
I told D, "Don't be worried 'bout no lawyer✦ fees
As long as I got hustle, boy, that's all we need, I'm down"
[Chorus: Devin the Dude]
No matter✦ if I'm on a plane or a train
Won't let you down, I'll be around
Car broken✦ down, I'll walk the miles✦
Call me if you need to talk
Light or dark, near or far
I'll find a friend with a ride to borrow✦
They'll drop me off

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on complex multisyllabic end-rhymes (e.g., 'all-paid/Paul-Cain/all-fazed/all-trades/small-change') that lock into a tight 4-bar cadence structure, occasionally breaking into longer, rapid-fire internal sequences.

"If it ain't money, I sidestep her, the Chris Paul trades"

① Avoiding women who aren't financially beneficial, acting with the precision of a point guard.② A specific reference to NBA player Chris Paul, known for his frequent trades and high-level movement/playmaking.

"it's like you ask did Ray Charles see it?"

① A rhetorical device emphasizing that the answer to a question is an obvious 'no'.② A direct reference to the late, blind musician Ray Charles, serving as a metaphor for the futility of questioning the status quo.

"Now I'm like a king of the underground, I'm Bernard Freeman"

① A claim of status as an underground hip-hop authority.② A play on the name Scarface, as Bernard Freeman is Scarface's legal name, effectively claiming his own identity as the 'king'.

Commanding vocal presence that emphasizes the grit of the narrative

High-density rhyme clusters that maintain momentum throughout the verse

Effective use of the 'setup-to-payoff' structure in the trauma-to-success narrative arc

Relies on standard street-rap tropes that limit the scope of lyrical innovation

Some punchlines are slightly predictable within the sub-genre of 'hustle-rap'
