[Chorus: Sy Ari Da Kid]

It's a blessing,^✦ pay your dues and the streets gon' respect^✦ it

Might just hit the block before^✦ I eat breakfast^✦

Used^✦ to starve, on God, I'm goin' hard everywhere^✦ I go

It's good investments^✦ (That's it)

Outta^✦ town, everything^✦ ain't domestic^✦

I seen things that'll change your perspective^✦

Respect^✦ my name, the same for my bredrin^✦

[Verse 2: Styles P]

Cross me- get beheaded and your whole crew deaded^✦ (Hahaha)^✦

Got a pocket^✦ full of paper,^✦ but, I'm thinkin'^✦ 'bout the credit^✦ (I'm thinkin')^✦

Stickin' to the job, I ain't thinkin'^✦ 'bout the marriage (Uh-uh)^✦

Just the checking and the saving and the debit^✦ (That's all)

Told my n**** Coz', I'm married^✦ to the mob (Married)^✦

I elope^✦ with the smoke for the rhymes,^✦ hand to God (Hand to God)

If I said I'm writin',^✦ I'm probably writin'^✦ a check

It's a mirror in the gym if them n***** wanna^✦ flex

'Cause I hit him in the neck, while he reading on his texts (You wanna^✦ get hit?)

But I'm tryna^✦ live righteous, you can put it on the set (D-Block)

Know the game and the players, but, I never^✦ knew a ref (Never)^✦

So, it's funny^✦ that my name means som'n on a check (Mr. Styles)^✦

Tryna^✦ handle my B.I

While I'm knockin' on B.I (What up?)

Only^✦ smoke weed, don't never^✦ hand me a C.I (Never)^✦

Doin' dirt off the stoop since I was knee-high

Stab him in the knee, give him weed, tell him, "Be high"

Ghost, n****

[Chorus: Sy Ari Da Kid]

It's a blessing,^✦ pay your dues and the streets gon' respect^✦ it

Might just hit the block before^✦ I eat breakfast^✦

Used^✦ to starve, on God, I'm goin' hard everywhere^✦ I go

It's good investments^✦ (That's it)

Outta^✦ town, everything^✦ ain't domestic^✦

I seen things that'll change your perspective^✦

Respect^✦ my name, the same for my bredrin^✦

[Verse 3: Conway the Machine]

Uh, 2020 Benz, bought that for my bitch

Ain't drop a album yet, but, you can't deny^✦ the fact that I'm rich (I'm up, n****)

I got Flee with me, and woe keep the ratchet on hip (Woe)

You know you gettin'^✦ whacked^✦ if his trigger finger^✦ happen^✦ to itch (Boom, boom, boom)

I'm runnin'^✦ down if I happen^✦ to flip

I clap you and dip (Huh?)

You a bitch, fuck around and get smacked^✦ in your lips (Hahaha)^✦

I don't need rap, I get packages shipped

I'm gettin'^✦ rich off the gas and the raps that I spit (Talk to 'em)

My man caught a body^✦ in 'Bama,^✦ facin'^✦ capital murder^✦ (Huh?)

He said, "You lit, n****"

I said, "I'm just scratchin'^✦ the surface" (I'm just startin')

Went from snatchin'^✦ them purses^✦ to trappin' and servin'^✦ (Woo)

To bein' on Jimmy^✦ Fallon^✦ and rappin'^✦ my verses^✦ (Facts)

Uh, we was movin'^✦ raw to get the newest cars (Uh-huh)^✦

Now I cop those just from spewin'^✦ bars ('Kay)

Yeah, all praises due to Allah^✦

It's The Machine, Alhamdulillah, ah (Woo, ah)

[Chorus: Sy Ari Da Kid]

It's a blessing,^✦ pay your dues and the streets gon' respect^✦ it

Might just hit the block before^✦ I eat breakfast^✦

Used^✦ to starve, on God, I'm goin' hard everywhere^✦ I go

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AAAA/BBBB internal rhyme clusters with heavy usage of terminal rhyme links (deaded/credit/debit/marriage/check/flex/neck/texts/ref/check). Styles P prioritizes phonetic density over traditional AABB structures.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I elope with the smoke for the rhymes"

① A metaphorical marriage to the act of smoking cannabis while writing verses.② A literal 'running away' to the studio/booth, carrying the 'smoke' (heat/threats) necessary to produce gritty lyrics.

"my name means som'n on a check"

① Styles P's reputation carries weight in financial transactions (getting paid).② The name 'Styles' commands literal financial authority, or implies his signature makes a document valid.

"Tryna handle my B.I / While I'm knockin' on B.I"

① Handling 'Business' (B.I as a shorthand for business intelligence/deals).② A nod to Biggie Smalls (B.I.G.), suggesting he is engaging with the legacy of New York hip-hop's standard-bearer.

Masterful use of financial jargon to describe street activities

Consistent, authoritative delivery that fits the D-Block aesthetic

High density of internal rhyme provides a hypnotic sonic quality

Effective use of pauses for comedic and aggressive punctuation

The heavy focus on financial puns occasionally sacrifices emotional depth

The repetitive nature of the 'check' rhyme scheme creates a slightly circular feel

Punchlines rely heavily on established persona tropes rather than external innovation
