[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Got a line of some dope from this bitch named✦ Tammy✦
Tammy’s✦ from Miami, round all the nose Candy✦
Bronze tanned✦ on her like I’m walking with the Grammy✦
Ex nigga✦ popped,✦ he flopped and turned✦ Sammy✦
I ain’t for the bull
Sign of a setup then a trigger’s getting pulled✦
Thinkin’ that it’s thriller when my nigga✦ turned✦ wolves
Do as Simon says like the ’95 Suge
All red on, death row chain
MGM fight night, Orlando was to blame
Outcome was the same
Dead on arrival, death to my rivals
Empty✦ out the clips, spin a nigga✦ like a spiral
YUGH! That’s the stairway✦ to heaven✦ nigga✦
On my big shit, waitin’✦ on the seven✦ nigga✦
Order✦ cocaine white like a wedding nigga,✦ woo
The king’s stuntin’ on these peasant niggas
Push
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Styles P]
It’s like ring around✦ the Rosé
Hand on the bottle, sit back and get coz-ay✦
Still killin’✦ that white bitch, OJ
Knocking 'Homecoming' from Kanye and Coldplay✦
It was me and Jose in the hallway✦
House full of dope with the pump by the doorway✦
True story,✦ niggas'll shoot for me
But I ride out, you heard more than a few stories
I wild out, throw you off of a 2-story✦
Nigga,✦ just to break your leg
Your connect got the work, nigga✦ tryna✦ break an egg
Yea, so hurry✦ up and get it poached
Get the feds give ya life when you’re fuckin’✦ with the dope
Catch me in LA fucking with the smoke
Or maybe in San Fran
With an OG nigga✦ that used✦ to get it on Pan-Am
What?
[Hook]

Rhyme Architecture: A focused A-A-A scheme utilizing a tight, repetitive internal vowel sound (oh-zay) that builds momentum before a sharp, single-syllable hard consonant rhyme at the terminus.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"ring around the Rosé"

① A play on the nursery rhyme 'Ring Around the Rosie', implying the fragility of life and a cyclical nature of danger.② A literal description of holding a bottle of Rosé wine while socializing, contrasting leisure with the implied lethal outcome.

"still killin’ that white bitch, OJ"

① A reference to the O.J. Simpson trial, explicitly comparing the act of dealing or consuming cocaine to the infamy of the 1994 murder case.② Using the 'white bitch' metaphor for cocaine to signal the artist's continued dominance in the drug trade despite legal and societal threats.

Effective use of a singular cultural touchstone to ground the verse

Strong rhythmic pocket maintained through precise syllabic placement

High level of internal assonance providing a cohesive auditory experience

Limited technical scope due to extreme brevity

Dependency on a singular trope (white bitch/OJ) which limits the narrative range

Lacks the structural complexity to challenge the upper-tier scoring thresholds
