[Verse 2: Lights]

They're like "Lights, where you been?

Brudda,^✦ we ain't heard you in a min"

Game needs cleaning up, it's worse than it's ever^✦ been

Too many^✦ shit spitters in the scene, it's a good thing

Mommy^✦ always^✦ taught me "put wrappers in the bin"

I admit,^✦ the work rate isn't the best thing

But when you're making^✦ twenty^✦ racks in a week, you blame him?

Double figures on the wrist, double figure^✦ whip

Double trouble when it's me and GH, so nigga,^✦ behave^✦

Whoever told you we were victims, nigga,^✦ we ain't

If it's war you wanna^✦ create, it will be arranged^✦

On point everywhere, even^✦ at the PA

Never^✦ slipping, nigga^✦ that's always^✦ got the .38

It's only^✦ business class when I fly on BA

The F game's^✦ how I sin when I'm getting Lizzy^✦

I don't see money^✦ from gigs, I'm a young gunner^✦ that spends

Name the price, I will never^✦ delay^✦

Fuckboys still chatting on me

I'm just tryna^✦ build a crib, give Mommy^✦ the key

Don't they know I've got bruddas^✦ that will clap it for me?

Leave couple holes^✦ in your body^✦ like the capital B, oof

Live life, still manage^✦ my P

I'm the man with the cards, no one's^✦ tackling me

"I heard Lights washed^✦ up" 's what they're dying to see

I can't be seen, stop eyeing on me

Look, everything^✦ you done, I did, what you driving, I drove

What you want, I own

Everything^✦ you rhyme, I live, nigga,^✦ can't you hear it in my tone?

No, we never^✦ took a MOBO^✦ home

But my team, we still win, Young Lights living^✦ like a king

Bruddas^✦ be scheming but they never^✦ do a thing

Try me, on the Holy^✦ Bible

You can run but you can't hide, I will put P on you, son

[Verse 3: Calibar]

My first car was an R-reg

Mégane coupe, I scooped your gyal half-dressed^✦

She was giving^✦ me brain while I was parking

Dead, though, she's biting^✦ man, I call her Suarez

(Get out the car)

Of course you know what my team's done

Beefing in clubs ain't new, it's like a re-run^✦

Rather^✦ tell a bitch phone now

To book a hair appointment just to get your weave done

'Cause after^✦ this, I'm bringing^✦ you back like a refund^✦

For a gym class, sexcercise her till she knackered like spin class, big arse

The bitch make the ting clap back like it's in garage^✦

Doggy^✦ style, I'm in and out her back like a SIM card

Sex in your bra, true, I'm blessed^✦ with the charm

Pull so many^✦ chicks, I should invest^✦ in a farm

Ring Kyze from the 'Nam, there's^✦ a drought for the dark

Knew I move class A, that weren't attained in my class

Tryna^✦ make Diddy^✦ money,^✦ get my salary^✦ raised^✦

I made dirty^✦ money^✦ shotting all this Danity^✦ "Caine"

Grinding for an Aston,^✦ it's a never-ending story^✦

How my whip so fly, they compare it to Sebastian's

Swag, I'm a material winner^✦

Man ah come off the ban, watch the vehicle, nigga^✦

Combination still the camp, I'm a serial^✦ nigga^✦

Snap like crackle, guns'll pop, I'm a serial^✦ killer^✦

[Verse 4: Mercston]

Trenchtown Rock

Me should have grown my ting out bigga^✦ like some locks

Weed? It ah grow in our spots

Everyting^✦ cool, everyting^✦ bad, everyting^✦ me got

Seh me nuh watch no face, pussy^✦ haffi^✦ mash

Me nuh wanna^✦ drink no Magnum^✦ outta^✦ glass

Order^✦ Magnum^✦ inna^✦ bokkle becuh^✦ di bokkle have a message^✦

And the message^✦ send seh "we go have a blast"

They call me King Ding-a-ling

Or any^✦ synonym that describes how I deal with them

They keep ringing,^✦ I cancel before^✦ the Mrs flinks

Phone on the wall but she knows I'm off the wall though

I had M before^✦ J and J before^✦ she had a daughter^✦

Her babyfather's waste so she wants me round to slaughter^✦

I come in the Mercedes Benz, she bends, I'm in the punani^✦

Boom, bap-bap-bap-bap, I beat it up like Harley^✦

Black Ken for the Barbie

I'm electric, she don't need no coal for the barbie

She don't like it when I'm mad, all mandem^✦ swarm me

I told her ain't shit changed,^✦ just charm and I love it

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Mommy always taught me 'put wrappers in the bin'"

① Adherence to domestic hygiene lessons from his mother.② Metaphorical dismissal of 'wrappers' (inferior rappers/garbage artists) by disposing of them in the trash (bin).

"Leave couple holes in your body like the capital B"

① Threat of physical violence resulting in entry/exit wounds.② The visual structure of the capital letter 'B', which contains two hollow loops (holes) within its vertical stroke.

"The F game's how I sin when I'm getting Lizzy"

① Refers to the 'F' (Fame/Financial) game as a source of moral corruption (sin).② Reference to the British Pound note, which features Queen Elizabeth II ('Lizzy'), linking sin/greed to the pursuit of currency.

High internal rhyme density creates a consistent sonic momentum

Naturalistic, conversational tone enhances authenticity

Effective use of double-entendre to bridge lifestyle and criminality

Strong command of cadence in the pocket

Some punchlines rely on established tropes (wrist/whip/money)

Narrative arc is slightly fragmented compared to high-concept storytelling

Occasional reliance on filler phrasing to maintain the rhyme scheme
