[HOOK: The Brodhead Kids]
Can I get paid
I'm just tryin to make some cash
I'm just tryin to make some cash
Can I get paid
I'm just tryin to make some cash
I'm just tryin to make some cash
[Verse 2]
Dog, you'd be pleased to kick it
I'mma✦ call up my NBA niggas✦ get some season✦ tickets
Catch me in the skybox in any✦ arena✦
I won't be happy✦ til I cop my niggas✦ 50 medinas
But I'm tryin to be realistic, and I get really✦ twisted
So I'm settlin for seventy beamers
Somebody✦ call Bill Gates,✦ tell him meet with the streets
One on one so I can get some real cake
Tryin' to see my shit in the Forbes,✦ Trump Tower for 'self
So you know I'm still pitchin the boy
And the niggas✦ need lottery numbers
Charge this ?? freak DeCalis and Hummers
Blow smoke in the sky till the Air Force come
Cop 50,000 pair of Air Force Ones✦
And if I can't live it up, then I'm runnin✦ up
In the record label tellin✦ everybody✦ give it up, what up
[HOOK]
[Verse 3]
I kill lemonade✦ peeps
It's Holiday with the fruit punch Ferarri and the lemonade✦ seats
Face look really✦ aggy,✦ jeans really✦ baggy✦
Fitted✦ hat, white T and some Bruno Magli's
Doublin and flippin
You understand I need a house so big I need a shuttle to the kitchen
That's why I keep the 45 government edition✦
Sofa✦ costs a hundred, so do the love seat
The big screen is crazy✦ and I'm lovin✦ the conditions
I got a vision✦ and it's cash involved
Can I get paid, or you get sprayed
It be the only✦ damn question✦ that I'm askin✦ y'all, what up
[HOOK]

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"still pitchin the boy"

① The literal act of selling cocaine (boy as street slang for heroin/drugs).② A play on 'pitching' as in high-stakes business or professional sales, maintaining his 'hustler' identity.

"Blow smoke in the sky till the Air Force come / Cop 50,000 pair of Air Force Ones"

① Literal smoking and the potential arrival of law enforcement (Air Force referring to helicopters/surveillance).② A juxtaposition with the Nike Air Force One sneaker, highlighting the disconnect between the danger of the street and consumerist desires.

Strong persona consistency

Rhythmic density in the multisyllabic sequences

Coherent thematic progression from personal gain to industry takeover

Some punchlines rely on dated brand references

The rhyme schemes occasionally feel repetitive due to the reliance on the same terminal vowel sounds

Limited use of complex metaphorical layering
