[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Okay,✦ I'm back up on my grind
You do you and I'm just gon' do mine
You do you 'cause I'm just gon' be fine
Okay,✦ I got you out my mind
And the night is young, the drinks is cold
The stars is out, I'm ready✦ to go
You always✦ thought I was always✦ wrong
Well, now, you know
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Tell everybody,✦ everybody✦ that you know
Tell everybody✦ that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know, that you know
[Refrain: Lil Wayne]
I got the right to put up a fight
But not quite, 'cause you cut off my light
But my sight is better tonight
And I might see you in my nightmare
Well, how did you get there?
'Cause we were once a fairy✦ tale
But this is farewell, yeah
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Babygirl, I'm finished, I thought we were committed
I thought we were cemented, I really✦ thought we meant it
But now, we just repentin',✦ and now, we just resentin'✦
The clouds is in my vision,✦ look how high that I be getting
And it's all because of you, girl, we through
You think your **** don't stank, but you are Mrs. Pee-yew
And I don't see you with me no more
Now, tell everybody✦ that you know, that you know
[Chorus: Kanye West]
That you know
Tell everybody✦ that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know, that you know
That you know
Tell everybody✦ that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know, that you know

Delivery

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a foundational AABB / CCDE structure with heavy terminal repetition, utilizing monorhyme-adjacent strings to create a hypnotic, cyclical flow that reinforces the theme of emotional detachment.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I got you out my mind"

① Physical removal of the partner from his mental space② A psychological detachment, signifying the end of the obsession described earlier in the album

Effective use of melodic cadence to heighten the song's melancholic atmosphere

Coherent structural arc that moves from self-assertion to finality

Rhythmic consistency that prioritizes the 'vibe' over dense internal syllable stacking

Limited lexical variety which caps the potential for multi-layered wordplay

Over-reliance on repetitive phrasing that lacks idiomatic depth

Lack of complex metaphorical frameworks or evolving double entendres
