Hey, miss, I'm your Mr. Miyagi✦ (Yeah)
I'ma✦ come and kick it in the Balenciagi✦
Don't text me in the mornin',✦ bae, I'm groggy✦
Text me, don't FaceTime,✦ I'm too groggy✦ (Yeah, yeah)
If I dig in my bag, it's an M (Yeah, yeah)
Had to put a lil' **** on a film (Yeah, yeah, what?)
I done took off in the air, I can't see 'em (Yeah, yeah)
Gotta✦ get it before✦ it come in (Yeah, yeah, what?)
Told the chief I'm ahead✦ of my time (Yeah, yeah)
Got Chanel✦ comin'✦ in by the nine (Yeah, yeah)
Keepin'✦ up with me, one of a kind (Yeah, yeah)
Keep it real with me, no need for lies
She say I fuck too big, fuck it then, you gon' have to tuck it in
Ain't no substitute for me, she say, "It's the boots for me"
I can't do the ankle joints, I wear them shits up to the knee
If I take you out to eat, won't find this on Uber✦ Eats
Go dumb-dumb
Twenty-five hundred for a wagyu✦ steak, it was undone✦
She wan' sip my soup, sip my soup, but it ain't wonton✦
Yeezy✦ ran it up, put away✦ millions for my son-son✦
Chiraq where I'm from, they gon' treat me like Kim Jong Un
Fell in love for the night
'Fore you say how I'm wrong, what is you doin' right?
That sound, that's the night, April✦ Fool, play the fool
Nice house with a pool, needed✦ room to improve
Hey, miss, I'm your Mr. Miyagi✦ (Miyagi)✦
I'ma✦ come and kick it in the Balenciagi✦ (Oh)
Don't text me in the mornin',✦ bae, I'm groggy✦ (In the morning)
Text me, don't FaceTime,✦ I'm too groggy✦ (Woah, yeah, yeah)
If I dig in my bag, it's an M (Yeah, yeah)
Had to put a lil' **** on a film (Yeah, yeah)
I done took off in the air, I can't see 'em (Yeah, yeah)
Gotta✦ get it before✦ it come in (Yeah, yeah)
Told the chief I'm ahead✦ of my time (Yeah, yeah)
Got Chanel✦ comin'✦ in by the nine (Yeah, yeah)
Keepin'✦ up with me, one of a kind (Yeah, yeah)
Keep it real with me, no need for lies
Rockstar stones✦ in every✦ jean jacket✦
I might take a jet to Calabasas just to **** my old ****
Push up on an opp, Beno✦ on that dumb ****
Homixide in the box, yeah, they on dumb ****
I just **** up the function,✦ I just **** it up (Woah)
I just **** up the function,✦ I just **** it up
(New number✦ again)✦
Run the summer✦ again✦ (New number✦ again)✦
Change my number✦ again✦ (Change the number✦ again)✦
Switch the number✦ again✦ (Switch the number✦ again)✦
How much more can we win? (Number✦ again)✦
Change my number✦ again✦ (Change the number✦ 'gain)
It's a number✦ of them (It's a number✦ of them)
I move on, don't do me in
Hopped✦ off on the mine, fell in love for the night
You don't say what you want, what is you doin' right?
Blast off on the mine, now I'm down for the moon
Now down for a move, blast off when you know
Hey, miss, I'm your Mr. Miyagi✦ (Yeah)
I'ma✦ come and kick it in the Balenciagi✦
Don't text me in the mornin',✦ bae, I'm groggy✦
Text me, don't FaceTime,✦ I'm too groggy✦ (Yeah, yeah)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
The verse relies on rhythmic repetition and brand-name iconography to generate a hypnotic, albeit surface-level, trance state, prioritizing the aesthetic of 'the flex' over complex lyrical architecture.

Rhyme Architecture: Primarily AAAA or AABB structures based on repetitive suffix sounds (e.g., -agi, -oggy, -in), creating a relentless, singular rhythmic flow that serves as a hypnotic loop.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Mr. Miyagi"
① Reference to the Karate Kid sensei, suggesting mastery.② Phonetic play on the brand name Balenciagi mentioned in the subsequent bar, linking the mentor archetype to high-fashion consumption.
"If I dig in my bag, it's an M"
① Opening a physical bag or luggage.② A financial reference to 'a million' (an M) contained within his professional or metaphorical 'bag'.
"treat me like Kim Jong Un"
① Reference to the North Korean leader's dictatorial power.② A hyperbolic claim to absolute authority, control, and fear-based respect within his domain.
High-energy cadence and delivery variation
Excellent use of internal rhythmic repetition to keep momentum
Strong command of rhythmic pockets
Limited vocabulary depth
Lack of complex multi-layered metaphor
Reliance on brand signifiers to carry emotional weight
