[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar & Ink]
When I walk in, oh yeah, bring that
It's unanimous, how I pop shit
When I walk in, hoes better get in check
You lookin'✦ at a bad bitch, nothin'✦ less
Walk, walk, walk, walk
Walk, walk, walk, walk
Tip, toe, pivot,✦ walk
Tip, toe, pivot,✦ walk
[Outro: Siete7x]
Ooh, don't take it personal✦
You won't be the first to know
Just might be the first to go
Just might be, ooh
Don't take it personal✦
You won't be the first to know
Just might be the first to go
Just might be

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse prioritizes rhythmic minimalism and repetitive cadences over lyrical complexity, functioning primarily as a stylistic bridge rather than a display of technical penmanship.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a highly repetitive, mono-rhyme structure, using 'walk' as a rhythmic pivot point to create a hypnotic, looped effect.
