[Verse 2]
Fightin' depression and anxiety
Mask on, switched the face, Mike Myer me
'Cause hittin'✦ licks was like a hood nigga✦ lottery
I waited✦ weeks for the mail
Took my back off the wall, almost killed✦ him in the cell
Sellin'✦ drugs, tryna✦ show out in the club
Cuban links, I need a brand new gun
What's a coffin✦ or a cell when you locked✦ in?
Feed the family✦ was the goal, made us all sin
[Refrain]
You want my rep, you gotta✦ kill me
When it was war I had to make dem niggas✦ feel me
I just wanna✦ sit back and earn a Bentley, shit
But these niggas✦ wanna✦ kill me
[Chorus]
Don't make me catch a body,✦ yeah
Y'all gon' make me catch a body✦
Y'all gon' make me catch a body✦
Said they gon' make me catch a body✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse relies on stark, visceral realism rather than dense linguistic gymnastics, using the 'Mike Myers' allusion to ground the persona's internal psychological conflict in cinematic horror tropes.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Mask on, switched the face, Mike Myer me"

① The literal reference to the horror film character Michael Myers and his iconic mask.② A metaphor for the 'mask' or tough persona the artist adopts to hide his internal depression and anxiety.

"What's a coffin or a cell when you locked in?"

① A question regarding the physical stakes of his lifestyle: death (coffin) or incarceration (cell).② A psychological state of being 'locked in' or committed to the survival hustle, making physical consequences seem trivial.
