[Verse 2]
And when I move, I move out with the raw
I move out with the squad
Tools out when we ride, we so mob
I throw lives✦ and lowest to live
For my loaf of bread, the people's player
I did what the culture said
And I live by La Costra✦ Nostra✦ set
Fuck around,✦ I'll knock your shoulder from your head
Get it right, I'm a soldier till I'm dead
This kid is white with buttonholes inside✦ that bled
I'm pumping o's with lots of hay
I'm so high, and really,✦ I don't even✦ know why
But oh, I just go buy a whole house
And lay my mat down, lay her back down
But I never✦ put my mack down
You see the thug in me
You know Weezy,✦ he the young son of Bubba-B
Buy my basketball shorts with a thunder B
If you want it, then come to me
I'm right here
[Chorus]
Now I'ma✦ ride 'cause I got riding✦ in my bloodline✦
And I'ma✦ shine 'cause I got shining✦ in my bloodline✦
I get that dough 'cause I got hustle in my bloodline✦
I bleed concrete✦
Now I'ma✦ ride 'cause I got riding✦ in my bloodline✦
And I'ma✦ shine 'cause I got shining✦ in my bloodline✦
I get that dough 'cause I got hustle in my bloodline✦
I bleed concrete✦
[Verse 3]
I'm G'd up
Only✦ follow✦ the code of the streets
Live bad to die good
Know how to move when hustling by the days with no food
But just so I can eat
And ain't it a bitch?
And if you see me gettin'✦ fat, I'm probably✦ gettin'✦ rich
And you probably✦ can come see me for some crack before✦ six
And after✦ that it's all bricks
A fake and my palm is wrapped around✦ this eight
And my arm because the dirty✦ south is straight Vietnam
I skate with the bomb
I'm asking✦ you don't play with me at all
Shots hit your ass and make three of y'all
It'll take three of y'all to fill one of my shoeprints
'Cause I did and do shit that's better✦ than new shit
Fit for two clips
The kid is a nuisance
Aww man, he's inspired by his own gangsta music (And?)
And The Blueprint
Cruising through the stoop with the ewe lit
Like ooh shit, this is more than weed, it's 500 Degreez
[Chorus]
Now I'ma✦ ride 'cause I got riding✦ in my bloodline✦
And I'ma✦ shine 'cause I got shining✦ in my bloodline✦
I get that dough 'cause I got hustle in my bloodline✦
I bleed concrete✦
Now I'ma✦ ride 'cause I got riding✦ in my bloodline✦
And I'ma✦ shine 'cause I got shining✦ in my bloodline✦
I get that dough 'cause I got hustle in my bloodline✦
I bleed concrete✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Wayne relies on a high-energy, stream-of-consciousness flow that prioritizes phonetic density over deep conceptual architecture, common to his mid-2000s mixtape era.

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I throw lives and lowest to live / For my loaf of bread"
① The literal act of risking one's life to secure income.② A play on 'loaves of bread' (money) sounding phonetically similar to 'lowest to live' (the struggle).
"I never put my mack down"
① Maintaining one's pimping status/reputation.② A reference to the Mac-10 firearm, keeping the weapon accessible.
