[Verse 2: Benny The Butcher]
This for hustlers with straight cash, not bitches✦ with fake bags
For hoes who fall in love with trappers and break bags
She textin'✦ my homie, but I'm fuckin'✦ hers, she fake mad
These hoes can't handle a nigga✦ they can't have
Unlucky for y'all, you know who the fuck is in charge
I put a couple in jars, let it fluff 'til it's hard
I'm at JAY house, Kerry✦ James✦ Marshall cover✦ the wall
Enough cushion I could cover✦ the fall, you know business✦ is business✦
Bitches✦ is bitches✦ and they fuckin'✦ us all
You know how life go, you stuck with your flaws, what's that about?✦
They had me fucked✦ up, niggas thought I'd suffer✦ for long
I'm drivin',✦ countin' money✦ with hundreds on the Cullinan floor, uh huh
Put my hands together and I pray for the bread
'Cause I get five jail calls a day from the feds
Go to sleep with an alarm and a K on the ledge
And the fireproof thousand pound safe in the crib, ah
[Chorus: Freddie Gibbs]
Phone so burnt, I need my pager✦ back
Trips with that work, my baby✦ made it back
Fuck with them hoes, I know she hated✦ that
But you gon' cry in that Toyota✦ or this Maybach?✦
[Interlude: Freddie Gibbs]
Waist stash
Rollie, she fake mad
[Verse 3: Freddie Gibbs]
Uh, I said fuck it, wasn't gon' do a verse
Bought some ugly✦ white girl, when I whipped it, it's Miss Universe
'Migo✦ brought the chickens on the bird, that's that Scooter work
I control my bitch's OnlyFans, I got computer work
Freddie Kane, I keep a college bitch on the '94 with the waist stash
Baby✦ daddy✦ bought her that fake Rollie, she fake mad
Butcher and the Rabbit, got damn it, check our credentials
Hoes get fucked✦ and sent home early✦ just like the Clippers
Is you with it bitch?
[Chorus: Freddie Gibbs]
Phone so burnt, I need my pager✦ back
Trips with that work, my baby✦ made it back
Fuck with them hoes, I know she hated✦ that
But you gon' cry in that Toyota✦ or this Maybach?✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I put a couple in jars, let it fluff 'til it's hard"

① The physical process of cooking crack cocaine to increase volume and hardness.② A metaphor for the patience required in the drug trade to build product volume and reputation.

"Enough cushion I could cover the fall"

① Literal financial security ('cushion') that prevents the consequences of legal or professional failure.② A play on the 'cushion' of the expensive furniture/interior of the JAY-Z associated lifestyle he is describing.

"Business is business / Bitches is bitches"

① A stoic division of priorities keeping street dealings separate from romantic entanglements.② A cynical observation on the transactional nature of his relationships compared to his professional ambition.

Strong command of the 'coke-rap' sub-genre aesthetic

Effective integration of high-culture markers into street vernacular

High internal rhyme consistency that creates a hypnotic flow

Authoritative vocal presence fitting the persona

Reliance on somewhat conventional 'hustler' tropes

Occasional thematic stagnation within the 'bitches/trappers' narrative loop
