[Post-Chorus: Lil Wayne & Thomas Troelsen]
G-code, G-code, we can't break the G-code
We bros (Can't be broken)✦
Yeah, we bros, we bros, we can't break for these hoes
G-code (Can't be broken)✦
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
I ain't finna break or fix the brakes,✦ you emulate✦
I'm laughing in your face, now fix your face, I can't disintegrate✦
'Cause I facilitate✦ a mil' a day for like a million days
At least the bills are paid, the children safe, want to get away?✦
No, I'm here to stay, I'm really✦ great, but don't discriminate✦
'Cause I done seen a mirror break behind a pretty✦ face
You stickin' out your chest, your titties fake
Don't make me pick your fate
I'm pickin' out a mate, she get replaced
The heart was built to break
I'm smoking icky,✦ watching Ricki Lake
I got a lawyer that turn any✦ case into a pillow✦ case
My killers straight, let's do some Q&A
You saw the news today,✦ got news to break and rules✦ to break
It hurt to say, they want to get Lil Tune to break
It's worth the wait, commercial break
[Chorus: Thomas Troelsen & Lil Wayne]
You cannot✦ break down what can't be broken✦ (G-code)
Out of all the rankless, I was chosen✦
When all of the lights they get low
And all of the curtains they close
You cannot✦ break down what can't be broken✦ (Uh)
[Post-Chorus: Lil Wayne & Thomas Troelsen]
G-code, G-code, we can't break the G-code
We bros (Can't be broken)✦
Yeah, we bros, we bros, we can't break for these hoes
G-code (Can't be broken)✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes a relentless mono-rhyme scheme (-ate/ake) that functions as a structural metaphor for the track's theme of 'inbreakability', sacrificing complex lyrical depth for a high-octane, percussive delivery.

Rhyme Architecture: A high-density mono-rhyme strategy relying on the phonetic overlap between long 'a' vowel sounds ending in 't' or 'k' consonants, creating a hypnotic, rhythmic drive.

"I got a lawyer that turn any case into a pillow case"

① The lawyer makes the legal case soft and easy to handle.② The lawyer 'closes' the case, just as a case fits over a pillow.

"You saw the news today, got news to break and rules to break"

① A journalistic play on 'breaking news'.② The act of committing crimes or defying societal codes (rules to break).

"I ain't finna break or fix the brakes"

① A literal reference to vehicle maintenance.② A metaphor for refusing to stop his momentum or correct his behavior for others.
