[Verse 3: Conway the Machine]
Look, they heard me rhymin',✦ they wanna✦ know where they find me at
The grimy✦ cat from the May Street trenches,✦ insomniac✦
Three in the mornin',✦ lurkin'✦ in that Pontiac✦
Where I'm from, you gotta✦ take your pole even✦ when you go to the laundromat (Keep it on you)
Niggas tried to line me, but I had time to react
We spin the same day, and the day after,✦ we slidin'✦ back (Uh-huh)✦
Empty✦ the mop in broad day and leave somebody✦ whacked (Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
He tried to run, three or four shots hit him inside✦ his back (Brrt)
And that go for anybody✦ that rap
That Buffalo nigga✦ that catch the bodies back (Ha)
Hold up, rewind✦ me back (Yeah)
They heard me rhymin',✦ they wanna✦ know where they find me at
The grimy✦ cat from the May Street trenches,✦ insomniac✦
Three in the mornin',✦ catch me inside✦ the trap
Knockin' off a ninety✦ pack right by the door where the MAK-90 at (Uh-huh)✦
After✦ the deal, the label still wanna✦ sign me back
The contract worth a few mill', but I ain't signin'✦ that (Hahahaha)
[Outro: Conway the Machine]
Yeah, nigga✦

Rhyme Architecture: Dominated by the 'at/ack' monorhyme vowel sound, creating a claustrophobic, driving energy that keeps the listener locked in a singular, aggressive pocket.
