[Verse 2: Lil Durk & DJ Pharris]
Iced✦ out all my scammer hoes, boost all they insurance up
Iced✦ out all my ghetto✦ hoes who turned✦ into✦ influencers
Smurkio, fuck that bitch and leave, I don't care who she fuck
Best shit out her closet,✦ it's hot as hell, she got on Yeezy✦ UGGS
I got moes with me, bump out the feds, mean I got foes with me
You got goofies with you, before✦ I do that, I keep some hoes with me
Askin'✦ for my gun when I'm in Cali',✦ nigga,✦ this your city✦
Why you DM'in' my bitch actin'✦ like we fucked?✦ These hoes below-silly
Street niggas✦ want ramen,✦ I don't like calamari✦
Took her out that cheap shit, took her to Bvlgari✦
Never✦ tell her, "Sorry,"✦ this car a Ferrari✦
Off set with this Cuban✦ link, you think she was Cardi✦ (Go)
(This Chicago, nigga,✦ go)
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Three gang leaders with me all times✦
I don't know who I fucked✦ last night, I got Alzheimer's
I don't know who them hoes is, man, they all lyin'
Brody,✦ tell me who them hoes is, man, they all fine
Hunnid'✦ hooligans, and we with the foolishness
How I'm anti-Semitic? I just fucked✦ a Jewish✦ bitch
I just fucked✦ Scooter's bitch and we ran her like Olympics
Got pregnant in the threesome, so whose baby✦ is it?
Whose baby✦ is it?
My niggas✦ puttin'✦ belt to ass, pull up with the switches
This ain't Jimmy✦ Butler,✦ but the heat got extensions
This ain't Columbine,✦ but we came in with the trenches✦
[Verse 4: Ty Dolla $ign & Kanye West]
She askin'✦ me to aim for her neck, 'cause her boyfriend bought that necklace (With the trenches)✦
Precious (With the trenches)✦
Fuck it, I scratched another nigga✦ woman✦ up off my checklist (With the trenches)✦
I've been livin'✦ reckless
I wish Takeoff wasn't there that night in Houston, Texas✦ (With the trenches)✦
Wish I could bring G.Ca$$o back, that was my best friend
Chordz, I need you to give me somethin'✦ big, I'm talkin'✦ 'bout dollar✦ signs
Skinny✦ Pimp flow, tell the ho, "No, I don't wanna✦ fuck"
She can suck-suck-suck it 'til she suck it dry
California nigga✦ with some European freaks
Bad-ass✦ bitch from the Middle E-E-E-East wanna✦ lick on me
Stick on me even✦ though I got security✦
Even✦ though she got a man, she know he ain't as pure as me, seriously
Soon as I get back, tradin'✦ in my Urus for the Puro'✦ keys
Couple grey hairs up in my beard, that's showin'✦ my maturity,✦ yeah
Ayy, shoutout to my symphony
9th Ave, Spaced✦ Out, we did that shit so differently and brilliantly✦
Dolla✦ $ign, Iggy,✦ and we birth YG
Fades✦ in the backyard, no talkin',✦ take flight instantly✦
Ayy, Nate 3D, boot up my nigga,✦ James✦ Koo
My nigga,✦ that's D.R.U.G.$
She snortin' that P out the D
She want me to put some of this coke in her butt, ugh
She Russian, I beat up the pussy✦ for Ukraine✦
Bought her a bag and I filled✦ it with loose change
Just saw my ex and she told me that, "You changed," yeah, yeah, yeah
Dolla'd done rather✦ be fuckin'✦ it up
Still screamin', "Free TC, Melly,✦ and Thug"
Fuck the police,✦ the DA, and the judge
Way out in Saudi,✦ I found me a plug
Don't wanna✦ go out, she'd rather✦ do drugs
Can't be my main if we met in the club, ooh
[Outro: 211]
Give me somethin',✦ bitch, I'm talkin'✦ 'bout dollar✦ signs
Look here, ho, I don't wanna✦ fuck, here's✦ a buck, with a buck, buck, buck
I'm shootin'✦ game to light that—
Give me somethin',✦ bitch, I'm talkin'✦ 'bout dollar✦ signs
Look here, ho, I don't wanna✦ fuck, here's✦ a buck, with a buck, buck, buck
I'm shootin'✦ game to light that—
Game to light that—
Game to light that—
Game to light that-game✦ to light that-game✦ to light that—

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
The verse relies on shock value and brand-name dropping rather than intricate lyrical construction, with a disjointed narrative flow that prioritizes abrasive persona-building over technical poetic depth.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies heavily on simplistic AABB or AAAA end-rhyme structures, focusing on singular sounds (e.g., -is, -it) to maintain a repetitive, trap-inspired cadence that prioritizes flow over complex syntax.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I don't know who I fucked last night, I got Alzheimer's"
① Literal medical diagnosis regarding memory loss.② Hyperbolic dismissal of past sexual partners to project a playboy, uncaring persona.
"we ran her like Olympics"
① High-intensity sexual activity metaphor.② A play on the endurance and competitive nature associated with Olympic track events.
High density of internal rhyming
Effective use of braggadocio tone
Commanding vocal delivery that masks lyrical deficiencies
Lacks thematic cohesion
Over-reliance on shock-value subject matter
Predictable punchline structures
Shallow metaphorical depth
