[Hook]
[Verse 3: Slimm Calhoun]
A town down Braves✦ started cap from the land of the made
Ain't no hard atrap✦ after✦ depts of the dungeon
We livin'✦ artifacts where niggas✦ rip chickens
Talk bricks, keep an artist strapped
Flame throwers got us hot in the spot
Wreckin these dog tails through red dog stripe
It's like all hell, block cells
Make bail and it's back to these crooks and cakes✦ jumpin'✦ at next cell
What you know about✦ the way the whales✦
Kiss it your body✦ scaled✦
I'm 'bout to hit by the box of tens through the mail
Then reply✦ beaten✦ twelve sickness spinnin' on twenty-ones✦
We produce many✦ guns, we spittin' at anyones✦
Disrespect (?) little bows
And I'll cock and explode up
Take me to the grave, grave, home of the brave
[Hook]
[Killer Mike]
So slums, so sligh, nigga (i'm) straight ducked✦
You can ask my baby's✦ mother✦ she'll tell you niggas✦ shit
He the type to fuck a bitch
Rob that bitch's baby✦ brother
[Slimm Calhoun]
And I'm the type to rip ya bitch leave the shit up under✦ your covers
(?) blessing from sin
New recrutes we in it again✦
Rap so hard we flippin' again✦
Walkin'✦ dubs on the benz
[Killer Mike]
One, two, crack fiend
Three on boys street jeans
Four full blown hit the scene
Five like trap (?)
Like a thick ho in sassy✦ jeans
Rub her right she'll cream
Fuck her right moan and scream
Killer✦ kill out on (?)
[Slimm Calhoun]
Swervin', servin',✦ bouncin' the buttons
Like 5 5 9 truck somethin'✦
Two Glock nines✦ round dumpin'✦
Round my hip strap ain't jumpin'✦
Keep my bitch dunkin'✦ somethin'✦
Be outlawed bangin'✦ 'em down for bustin'✦
[Hook] - repeat✦ to fade

Rhyme Architecture: Mike utilizes a blunt, percussive AABB-adjacent structure, focusing on hard-consonant end-rhymes (ducked/shit/bitch/brother) to drive home the confrontational tone.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"straight ducked"

① Physical act of avoiding danger or gunfire.② Slang for being positioned or hiding away from mainstream scrutiny.

"Rob that bitch's baby brother"

① Literal description of a ruthless criminal act.② A hyperbolic illustration of the artist's anti-heroic, morally uncompromised persona in the face of his personal conflicts.

High-intensity vocal performance

Strong rhythmic pocket within the verse

Authentic, grounded narrative voice

Lack of sophisticated metaphorical complexity

Limited use of multisyllabic wordplay compared to the previous verse

Reliance on shock-value lyrical tropes
