[Verse 2: Styles P]
Voices✦ in the attic,✦ bodies✦ in the basement
People under✦ the stairs hold my guns and chasin✦
When I buy a brick I bring a base head to taste it
Zombies out here, yea this shit is like a wasteland
I don’t give a fuck about✦ no goddamn bath salts
P91 to blow half of your mass off
Face all over✦ the asphalt
No track down here but whips is like NASCAR✦
Weed in the glass jar, shot em in the head ‘cause the trash words
Then I got ghosts like Casper✦
No, I get ghosts like myself✦
If I rap like you I put the toast to myself✦
I shit on you, the mic booth in your board
Why don’t you find a bridge and bungee with no chord
Or build yourself a pool full of swords
Dive in it, next time you rhyme put your mind in it
[Sample]
Maybe I should’ve killed✦ 4 to 500 people
Then I would’ve felt better✦
[Verse 3: N.O.R.E.]
The healthiest nigga✦ in New York, smoking Newport’s
I’m not a new boos, I’m in the new Porsche
My Nike sneakers,✦ it be my like sneakers✦
Jogging on the beach with my wife beaters
Word to Obama✦ mama,✦ Jeffrey Dahmer✦ drama✦
Swiss got keys, pianos✦ and Alicia✦
When I be talkin✦ keys I’m talkin✦ coke and the Keisha✦
I know chicks that swallow cum and they still suck it
Miscarriage hoes, fowl cuz they still fuckin✦
You know the deal, they don’t even✦ wait to heal
My booster bitches – they can’t even✦ wait to steal
My favorite sex position is the 69
I fuck er at 6 while holdin✦ my 9
Amsterdam, stuff blunts, call em sumos✦
Walkin✦ out the walk, with a veggie meal you know
Kick yo feet up like weed up, show yo speeder
[Sample]
I’m the king, man
I run the underworld, guy
I make the money,✦ man
I change minds

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I get ghosts like myself"

① Reference to the nickname 'The Ghost' that Styles P has cultivated throughout his career② A double meaning regarding disappearing or killing rivals, making them 'ghosts' in a literal sense

"If I rap like you I put the toast to myself"

① Using a firearm ('toast') to commit suicide if his skill level dropped to the level of his peers② A metaphorical assertion that his identity and talent are tied to his integrity; to compromise them is to destroy himself

Consistent, aggressive vocal presence

Effective use of cinematic/horror-core imagery to set the scene

High density of internal rhymes that lock into the beat

Relies on established tropes (ghosts, toast/guns, bridge/bungee) rather than original conceptual metaphors

The narrative structure is occasionally disjointed when shifting from gritty storytelling to direct address insults
