[verse 2]
R-U Double-F, R-Y-D-E
D-B-L-O-C-K 'til I D-E
I in the middle
I'm hoppin✦ out the sunroof
So I'mma play the backseat ride in the middle
On my Justin✦ Timberlake shit, cry me a river
But niggas✦ need they throats cut, slide me the scissors
No dare touchin us
And niggas✦ call me Glade
Because if I don't get paid
I spray like air fresheners
A lot of niggas✦ sound like I
They don't get down like I
I got the urge to treypound that eye
From the 1st to the 3rd
I can give you my word
We got birds, not the type that fly around✦ in the sky
And I'm just trying to get in my place
Do my thing, while you trying to be king
I'm steady✦ shooting for ace
And my hoodie stay on, and the boots is laced✦
You violate, you couldn't take what I'd do to your face
One

[verse 3]
I'm from 354 with a 9 mm
On my 38 waist in a 55 Benz
Get it for 17, sell it for 28
If the money✦ ain't straight, they gunnin✦ the .38's
It's 17 up in my Glock. 4 dutches a box
4 different drugs they sell in the spot
And 911 mean they calling the cops
We get the 411 from the fiend off the block
I got a spot where it's 40 a bag
Niggas✦ old school, still drink 40's
Keep stows and their rags
Bust off the .40 cal. soon as I point at the fag
So it cost P nothin✦ just to 1 your ass
[hook]

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a loose, aggressive AABB-adjacent structure punctuated by heavy internal rhyming and rhythmic breaks, characteristic of D-Block's mid-2000s mid-tempo boom-bap.
