So they ask me
"Young boy
What you gon' do the second time around?
How you gon' come back?"
I tried told 'em
"I come back like 32
I jump back like 33"
Ugh, hit me
That's nothing✦
This is Tha Carter✦ II, people
This is Tha Carter✦ II, people
Hey
They call me Mr. Carter,✦ I kissed✦ the daughter
Of the dead's forehead, I killed✦ the father✦
Spilled the heart of a mildew hater✦
I will put them body✦ on chill like glaciers, gracias
I'm crazy,✦ yes, it's obvious
Going against me is atheist
I got my angels on my shoulder and a quarter of that angel dust
I ain't sniffing, I'm just pitching,✦ your honor✦
I ain't snitching,✦ your honor✦
Hate bitch niggas,✦ bitches with power✦
Vacate✦ when that kitchen get hotter✦
I just sit on the counter
Open✦ the cabinet, close the cupboard
Put that jar in the skillet, drop a four in the bubbles
I remember being young, tryna✦ hustle my dope
Tryna✦ tell the old junkies that my crack ain't soap
Tryna✦ tell you 'fore you jump that my MAC ain't broke
You ain't tryna✦ see how far that black back lane go, no
Call me Pac-Man,✦ your ghost is blue
I got my Red River✦ rubies✦ and my ocean✦ blue jewelry
Usually I'm a hooligan for the money✦
Yeah, I'm eating,✦ but I got a tapeworm in my tummy,✦ oh
Make harm and I bomb you in public
Hit you with the straight-arm, no warning, nothing✦
Look, it's morning, no yawning or nothing✦
I ain't sleeping, I'm up tryna✦ take a nigga✦ lunch
You gon' make a nigga✦ break a nigga✦ fronts
Then shake a nigga✦ shorts and we taking✦ what we want
I'm so 504, you got to kill me here
If you ever✦ looking for me, bitch, I will be here
Cash Money✦ is an army,✦ Navy✦ Seal me here
Lot of niggas✦ ran from me, but I still be here
No chrome on the Continental,✦ I'm so fundamental✦
Crack the Phil', crack the roof, and roll up the windows
And my hood love me, they tell me bring it home
That's why I holler✦ Hollygrove on each and every✦ song
You're leaping at a dog, a dog with no bark
Just a bite like an old shark
And all you rich niggas✦ know Pa, I'm talking 'bout Stunna✦
He like, "Keep your dough," he got your ho
And the sun shines✦ on the king and sets on the prince
I met the Birdman and I been shining ever✦ since, like that

"I got my angels on my shoulder and a quarter of that angel dust"

Commanding rhythmic presence

Exceptional density of internal rhyming

Atmospheric storytelling that establishes dominance

Consistent, authoritative delivery

Occasional reliance on shock-value imagery over complex narrative depth
