[Verse 2: Styles P]
Yeah, it's marijuana and champagne
Need a Rollie made out of sand grains (Hahaha)✦
To tell time in a simulation✦ (They don't get it)
For stimulation✦ of fearing flames✦
For a long flow, even✦ your mom know (She know)
I could die and come back like I was John Snow (Word)
Turn you John Doe, no time, no (No time)
Knew I was done when drug dealers✦ pushed✦ the Milanos✦
[Chorus: Iman Nunez]
Uh, Lord forgive✦ me, they offendin'✦ me
Give a fuck how they feelin',✦ can't match my energy✦
Conversations✦ increasing,✦ you ain't no friend of me
Lord, I mean, look at what you did to me, yeah
Lord forgive✦ me, they offendin'✦ me
Give a fuck how they feelin',✦ can't match my energy✦
Conversations✦ increasing,✦ you ain't no friend of me
Yes Lord, I mean, look at what you did to me, Yes Lord
[Verse 3: Styles P]
Drug dealers✦ whippin'✦ Milanos✦ (Clean as fuck)
That's right around the time I couldn't get no McDonalds (Damn)
Then I hit the strip, start flippin'✦ them bottles
Made a little money,✦ smoke and sip in the bottle
Now I'm standin' outside✦ like it wasn't tomorrow (I'm outside)✦
If the front ain't on my block, then you dip in them hollows (Just sayin')
And your mama✦ would've said: "He ain't the nigga✦ to follow"✦ (I'm followin' him)
And she would've been right (She ain't right)
'Cause I wasn't right (Hahaha)✦
You won't get a buck fifty✦ if I ain't on the fight (Get that buck fifty)✦
And I grew up real rough, did shit outta✦ spite (South side)
If you know about✦ the game then you'd get out tonight (Whateva)
'Cause I knew in my teens, but I stayed in my thirties (I stayed)
Yeah, the water✦ is purified but the drinkers is dirty✦
Got a gun and it's certi
Another one in the birdie (Couple)
Give a fuck about✦ a killer✦ 'cause we all 730 (Give a fuck)
Yeah, I was tried by the fire so I arrived by the fire
Ghost
[Chorus: Iman Nunez]
Uh, Lord forgive✦ me, they offendin'✦ me
Give a fuck how they feelin',✦ can't match my energy✦
Conversations✦ increasing,✦ you ain't no friend of me
Lord, I mean, look at what you did to me, yeah
Lord forgive✦ me, they offendin'✦ me
Give a fuck how they feelin',✦ can't match my energy✦
Conversations✦ increasing,✦ you ain't no friend of me
Yes Lord, I mean, look at what you did to me, Yes Lord

Exceptional command of pocket and breath control
Authentic, lived-in storytelling tone
Effective use of pop-culture metaphors to bridge high-brow concepts with street reality
Narrative trajectory occasionally feels fragmented between verses
Some rhyme pairings, while phonetically sound, lean into cliché tropes
