[Chorus: Travis Scott]
Let it fly (Brr, fly)
Let it fly like the birds in the sky (Brr-brr)
Hotter✦ than the weather in July✦ (Brr-brr)
I done did so much I can't decide✦ (It's lit)
Word, word to my guys (Yeah)
She just get so wet, I slip and slide (Splash)
Had to get it back to give 'em five
I, I, I...
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne & Travis Scott]
It's alive,✦ it's alive,✦ I'm revived✦
It's C5, been arrived,✦ kiss the sky, did the time
Please advise,✦ it is advised✦ to be advised,✦ and we advise✦
You not fuck with me and mine, and keep in mind that we don't mind
Losin'✦ our minds, free your mind, read your mind, read your mind
Body✦ take a week to find, the cops gon' be like, "Never✦ mind"
What's on your mind? Put the pistol to your mind and blow your mind
Control your mind, mind freak, no sober✦ mind, I'm so behind✦
But front line, you crossed the line, and you better✦ know your lines✦
And if you gettin'✦ out of line, I hang you with a clothin' line
Wring you like an open line, keep your stanky✦ ho in line
Them hoes be lyin', it's a thin line, and I know you know the line
Second✦ line, second✦ line, Tunechi✦ got effective lines✦
Rough edges✦ like a box of Checkers fries, that's a line
Catch the line, American flag, less stars, extra lines✦
Stretch the line, skip the line, 'til you no more next in line
Yeah, Tunechi-Tune a lunatic, my goonie-goons the gooniest
Run inside✦ your room and kill you and who you roomin'✦ with
The Uzi with the booty✦ clip, more than one, I'm too equipped
Talkin'✦ 'bout some fake niggas, based on true events
Tryin' not to get pinched, smokin'✦ on a stupid✦ stench
Lookin'✦ in the mirror tryin' to figure✦ where my pupils went
Flashy✦ with a boujee bitch, Travy,✦ that's my hooligan (It's lit)
Take the T off Tunechi✦ and look at it as the crucifix, bitch
[Outro: Lil Wayne & Travis Scott]
C5, best rapper✦ alive✦
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let it fly

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes a relentless phonetic repetition scheme based on the 'eye' sound to create a hypnotic, percussion-heavy flow that sacrifices narrative cohesion for technical density.

Rhyme Architecture: An exhaustive monorhyme scheme built entirely around the 'eye' vowel sound, sustained through almost every line of the verse to create a recursive auditory loop.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Put the pistol to your mind and blow your mind"

① The literal act of executing someone with a firearm.② The idiomatic expression meaning to shock or overwhelm someone's cognitive faculties.

"I hang you with a clothin' line"

① Literal use of a rope meant for drying clothes as an instrument of execution.② A dismissal of an opponent's status, implying they are cheap or disposable like laundry.

"Rough edges like a box of Checkers fries"

① A simile describing the aggressive, jagged nature of his lyrical delivery.② A direct visual reference to the crinkled/ridged shape of fries from the fast-food chain Checkers.

Extraordinary rhythmic consistency

High density of internal rhymes

Aggressive and confident vocal presence

Effective use of repetition as a percussive device

Diminishing returns on semantic clarity due to extreme repetition

Over-reliance on repetitive rhyming words rather than complex multisyllabic constructions

Vocabulary limitations caused by the structural constraints of the 'eye' sound
