[Hook: Killer Mike & Big Boi]
Thump, thump, thump, thump (yeah)
All in your trunk (yeah)
Grinding and hustling✦ and getting at mine
Swerving✦ and token✦ and grippin on pine
Bump, bump, bump, bump
All in your trunk
Woofers and tweeters and speakers and geekers
Crawl in your bunk
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
How we gon' stop (whooa)
How we gone quit (shitttt!)
Brand new shoes and socks on the Chevy✦
I came through swerving✦ like this (errrrr!)
Good wit the game, gutter✦ fo' show
Ducking you lames✦ and obstacles
Don't get that ass in a hospital
Wrapped in a cast from head to toe
This boy he real!
Racing those candy✦ Sevilles through Dixie Hills
My car do wheelies they drive on three wheels
First round pick like Michael Vick
Quarterback status throw passes✦ at chicks
Santana Moss When catching the ball
Get it? Like Moss she catches the ball
Perfectly tuned✦ my engine✦ don't stall
And I'm equipped with nitrous y'all
Ready✦ to rip, burn, roar!
Ready✦ to tear through your city✦ and tour
Took The Whole World and murdered that shit!
Caught the beat running and dipped✦ with that bitch!
Later✦ for now I'm hustling✦ hits
Flipping my words like bricks, trick!
[Hook]
[Outro]
New, new! That new-new!✦
New-new✦ for you-you!
New-new✦ for you-you!
That new-new!✦ That new-new!✦
New-new✦ for you-you!
New-new✦ for you-you!

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Killer Mike prioritizes aggressive, rhythmic cadence and internal rhyme density over dense metaphorical layering, effectively utilizing his flow as a percussive instrument to complement the heavy southern production.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a high-energy AABB-adjacent structure punctuated by tight, repetitive internal clusters (e.g., 'stop/quit', 'shoes/socks', 'gutter/show'). The scheme is designed for rhythmic propulsion rather than complex narrative progression.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"First round pick like Michael Vick"

① A literal reference to the NFL star's draft status and talent.② A boast of being the premier choice or 'top draft' among rappers, leveraging the high cultural visibility of Vick at the time.

"Quarterback status throw passes at chicks"

① Literal quarterback function of passing a football.② Slang usage of 'passing' as in dismissing or moving quickly from one romantic encounter to the next.

Commanding vocal presence and high-octane energy

Strong integration of ad-libs as rhythmic placeholders

Effective use of internal rhyme to maintain momentum

Relatively literal lyrical content compared to his later, more socio-political work

Reliance on standard braggadocio tropes of the era

Lack of sustained metaphorical depth
