[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Mind over✦ matter,✦ money✦ over✦ all
The world is on my shoulders✦
Should I dust my shoulders✦ off?
Uzi rat-a-tatter, knocking over✦ walls
Fuck the bullshit✦ but just don't fuck it raw
Man, pussy✦ has a pattern and I know where I'm going
And if you got beef, I turn it to a tenderloin
Sanity✦ kills, so I live the crazy✦ life
I wonder✦ if they'll pay attention if I change the price
Life is my wife, 'til death do us part
Man, I'm fly as fuck, you ain't even✦ next to depart✦
Quick draw McGraw, I hope you like art
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
This is times✦ up
Put your signs up
They done picked✦ my dude
Out the line up
Baby,✦ what the fuck is wrong with them
What the fuck is wrong with them
You see many✦ you call
Very✦ few are chosen✦
Looking✦ at the wall
You can feel them close in
Baby,✦ what the fuck is wrong with them
What the fuck is wrong with them
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Stepping on the bullshit,✦ you can be my doormat
Y'all ain't going nowhere with that hating✦ shit, four flat
Disrespectful on the beat, Borat✦
Fuck the system✦ and the pussy✦ wasn't all that
Yeah, now time's✦ getting shorter
Red Light on your head like a fucking✦ recorder now
Don't you cross me, you do better✦ crossing the border✦
So much money✦ piled✦ up, I'm a motherfucking✦ hoarder
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
This is times✦ up
Put your signs up
They done picked✦ my dude
Out the line up
Baby,✦ what the fuck is wrong with them
What the fuck is wrong with them
You see many✦ you call
Very✦ few are chosen✦
Looking✦ at the wall
You can feel them close in
Baby,✦ what the fuck is wrong with them
What the fuck is wrong with them

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes his signature free-associative flow to bridge abstract aphorisms with street-level bravado, showing technical maturity through clever pivots between metaphorical existentialism and literal threat-making.

Rhyme Architecture: A highly dense AAAA/BBBB structure defined by internal assonance within the 'all/shoulders/off/walls' sequence, transitioning into mid-line syllable stacking that pushes into the next bar.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"If you got beef, I turn it to a tenderloin"

① In street slang, 'beef' refers to a personal conflict or grudge.② A tenderloin is a literal cut of steak, implying that the speaker 'cooks' or softens the opposition through violent confrontation.

"Sanity kills, so I live the crazy life"

① Living a 'sane' or conventional life is metaphorically deadening or restrictive.② Embracing madness or unconventionality is the only way to survive the high-pressure environment of fame.

"Should I dust my shoulders off?"

① A literal request to remove dust from his clothing.② A cultural reference to Jay-Z's 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder,' symbolizing the act of dismissing one's enemies or problems.

Superior cadence management in a compact space

Effective use of conversational delivery to ground abstract lines

Cohesive thematic movement from mindset to lifestyle execution

Occasional filler lines for the sake of forced internal rhyme

The 'Life is my wife' conceit lacks the depth of the surrounding wordplay
