[Part 2]
[Verse 2]
All that chatter✦ that you chatter✦ 'bout my matter✦ just don't matter✦
I don't— I don't forth and backer,✦ I clack-clacka-rata-tata
Could be blacker,✦ could be cracker✦
It's whatever,✦ that's whenever✦
Sprinkle salt, I spray pepper✦
You play bad, I go evil✦
I know folk, I know people
I'm the shit, I go fecal✦
You a leech, I'm a leader✦
Humble down, we ain't equal✦
Kill your master,✦ slap your sifu✦
I'm rich rollin',✦ true blue regal✦
I keep a stick, don't take shit, and that .223 is lethal✦
[Part 3]
Talk— Talk a lotta✦ shit
(DJ Paul, TWhy)
But shit don't impress✦ me
And— And fuck a nigga✦ who talk a lotta✦ shit, but shit don't impress✦ me
And— And fuck a nigga✦ who talk a lotta✦ shit
[Verse 3]
Black Boulé, hate me
I'm too cool, AC
I don't give a fuck if weed gettin'✦ legal✦ if none of my niggas ain't free
(Who talk a lotta✦ shit)
Ayy, I don't give a fuck who the president✦ is if the president✦ ain't for me
You ain't never✦ met a nigga✦ like me
I'm a bad nigga,✦ I'm Stagger Lee
(Who talk a lotta✦ shit)
I'm a Morehouse man, Spike Lee
Dope man with a plan, Fat Steve
I kill 'em, I'm Hosea✦ Williams
Unbought, unbossed, I'm chillin'
Tryna✦ get it out the mud off the muscle
Tryna✦ get it like the late Herman✦ Russell
I'm yearning like Alonzo✦ Herndon
I'm the new Q-Ball, I'm earnin'✦
(And— Who talk a lotta✦ shit)
First rule you better✦ understand✦
You dealing with a real black man
If I said it, I meant it, I meant it like I said it 'cause I said what I said, understand?✦
So stay in your place, lil' man
Commentin' on the TV channel
I guarantee you never✦ seen a nigga✦ like me 'cause they only✦ make these in Atlanta
(Who talk a lotta✦ shit, but shit don't impress✦ me)
(And— And fuck a nigga✦ who talk alotta✦ shit, but shit don't impress✦ me)
[Outro]
She a slum
You know what I'm sayin'?
'Bout how great we are
She a slum

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I'm the shit, I go fecal"

① Slang for being the best or high-status individual.② Literal definition of fecal matter, creating a blunt, crude double entendre to emphasize superiority.

"I'm too cool, AC"

① Slang for being calm, composed, or fashionable.② Air Conditioning, a common metaphor for temperature-related 'coolness'.

"I keep a stick... and that .223 is lethal"

① Stick as slang for a firearm.② Literal reference to the physical weapon, transitioning into the specific caliber (.223) to ground the threat in reality.

Commanding vocal presence

Exceptional rhythmic lock-in

High-energy cadence shifts

Effective use of staccato delivery

Lyrical content leans on bravado clichés

Lack of sustained narrative depth

Limited semantic range beyond confrontational posturing
