[Chorus]
They wanna✦ see if I got it, I'm like hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Found twenty✦ dollars✦ in ya pocket,✦ damn right, hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Don't wanna✦ be alone✦ tonight,✦ let's get grown tonight,✦ say hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Oh, you only✦ 'bout the profit,✦ damn right, hell yeah (Hell yeah), ooh
[Verse 2]
I drown in all the things that I commit✦ to
I'm at a shit zoo with all my dogs and a Shih Tzu
Zip, zoom, I'm out, probably✦ cold as an igloo✦
(Oh, I've heard that before)✦
Or maybe now I'm hot as some
Honestly, it's bothersome to keep up with these trends
Not a good guy, but I'ma✦ be there 'til the end
Time sure flies, thought I'd be pushing a Benz or a Lambo✦
Not even✦ no stocks, I'm just fighting over✦ hambones
Well, holmes,✦ staying in the drip a bit
Watchin' no-names fight over✦ significance
What is this I'm looking at?
I beat you in a clean sweep, probably✦ put the Roomba✦ back
I'm a big boy, don't feel like an outcast when I lose some stacks, yeah
I'm 'bout that action, is you cool with that?
Judging by your face, I passed the smell test
You really✦ spitting (Hell yeah)
[Chorus]
Trying to see if I got it, I'm like hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Found fifty✦ dollars✦ in ya pocket,✦ alright,✦ hell yeah (Hell yeah)
I'm trying to get you out ya seat, come on, say hell yeah (Hell yeah)
If you know who I be, sang it, hell yeah (Hell yeah)
[Outro]
Found a hundred in ya pocket?✦ Alright,✦ hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Oh, you really✦ 'bout the profit?✦ Alright,✦ hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Found a thousand in ya pocket?✦ Oh, hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Found a million dollars✦ in ya pocket,✦ now I don't believe you
No, that sounds, that don't sound right

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I'm at a shit zoo with all my dogs and a Shih Tzu"

① A literal observation of a chaotic, unpleasant situation ('shit zoo') involving his companions ('dogs').② A linguistic pivot using 'Shih Tzu' as a phonetic mirror to 'shit zoo', blending literal imagery with clever homophonic wordplay.

"I'm a big boy, don't feel like an outcast when I lose some stacks"

① Referencing his size and wealth status.② A meta-referential nod to the group name 'Outkast', signaling that his identity is not defined by his financial losses.

"I beat you in a clean sweep, probably put the Roomba back"

① Defeating a competitor comprehensively.② Using the 'Roomba' imagery as an extension of the 'clean sweep' metaphor, mocking the efficiency and domestic triviality of the opponent.

Elite technical density in the opening lines

Strong command of rhythmic pocket

Effective use of self-aware, meta-commentary

Nuanced delivery that shifts from rapid-fire to deliberate

Occasional filler lines used to maintain the rhyme-heavy structure

Some metaphors lack the thematic depth of his earlier work

Reliance on colloquialisms limits the universality of certain bars
