[Interlude: DaBaby]
You know what I'm sayin'? I put it together✦ with the lil' you know, the lil' pants with the, uh, oversized sweat shirt you know with the other✦ shirt hangin'✦ out the under✦
You know I do my shit, lil' Cuban✦ link
Pretty✦ south nigga✦ life it's Baby✦ let's go
[Verse 3: DaBaby]
You gon' make me reach under✦ this brand new Donda✦ shirt
Free my big cousin,✦ me and him together,✦ sold out condo work
The wrong woman✦ will drag your name all through the mud
Get you caught all kind of jerks
Havin'✦ lose you all kind of chips, you better✦ understand how condoms work
The label tellin'✦ me "Go finish your album, Kirk", but I'm hoppin'✦ on Donda✦ first
They youngin' and showin'✦ his Honda,✦ I ain't drop nada,✦ I had it kinda✦ worse
Got it in, got it Impala✦
Bought a lil' choppa,✦ came with a pound of Perc
Never✦ let them take a soul, my nigga✦
Tell 'em Tupac that shirt off
Thug life get 'em out that how it go, my nigga✦
Search me, where they do that at?
Nigga✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"understand how condoms work"

① The literal need for protection to avoid unplanned outcomes (children/disease) which result in 'losing chips'.② A metaphorical instruction on protecting one's resources and reputation from predatory social/romantic interactions.

"Tell 'em Tupac that shirt off"

① A direct cultural reference to Tupac Shakur's iconic shirtless aesthetic.② An aggressive posturing command to shed inhibitions or prepare for physical confrontation.

High technical density in rhyme construction

Cohesive thematic focus on street-to-industry transition

Strong command of the 'ond' phonetic pocket

Thematic reliance on established 'Thug Life' tropes

Cadence remains somewhat repetitive despite rhyme density

Limited emotional range in delivery
