[Part II]
[Intro]
Ayy, tell you what you should do, son
[Verse]
Uh, let's get personal,✦ Percocet got me vertical✦
Them Uzis get so surgical,✦ shooters, they shoot like Türkoğlu✦
We murder✦ you, then bury✦ you, dig a hole and throw dirt at you
You disappear like abracadabra, magic✦ like 32
It is my time, and when it is, you on timeout✦
I'm on Cloud 9 and, nigga,✦ you just on iCloud✦
I'm an icon,✦ I shine and burn your eyes out
You on the sideline, my side bitch got a side bitch
Gotta✦ sip slow 'case I die quick, I'm alive,✦ bitch
Born piss poor, I'ma✦ die rich full of my shit
Bust up in your house on some mob shit, leave no hostage
Leave it lookin'✦ like January✦ 2nd, July✦ 5th
Y'all are all witnesses to my battles, I shall fight
Been through a whole lotta✦ bullshit, still smell nice
Poverty to penitentiary✦ straight to paradise
Took a few Ls, without✦ 'em, I couldn't spell "life"
Airtight, vagina✦ tight and it better✦ smell right
Banana✦ clip, big banana✦ up in her tailpipe
Big fish, nigga,✦ killer✦ whale, kill a bitch nigga✦
I'ma✦ snap and send a pic, nigga,✦ flick-flick, nigga✦
Tunechi, I pop me a Perc and I smoke me some loud
Oh my God, I'm gettin'✦ personal✦ now
All I could see is the purplest clouds
Oh my God, we gettin'✦ virtual now
I'm 'bout to sip on this syrup 'til I drown
Oh my God, I'm gettin'✦ thirstier now
I'm ballin'✦ way too hard on these clowns
They 'bout to give me a personal✦ foul

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"shooters, they shoot like Türkoğlu"

① A literal reference to NBA player Hedo Türkoğlu, known for his jump shot.② A phonetic play on 'Turkey' or the precision of basketball shooting applied to violent imagery.

"I'm on Cloud 9 and, nigga, you just on iCloud"

① State of extreme euphoria or superiority.② A modern technological jab implying the target is merely a digital existence or data point, while the speaker is in a state of transcendence.

"Without 'em, I couldn't spell 'life'"

① Losing serves as a necessary experience for personal growth.② The literal inclusion of the letter 'L' (loss) is required to spell the word 'life'.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Creative use of pop-culture comparisons to elevate street-oriented lyrics

Commanding vocal presence that maintains high energy throughout the rapid delivery

Occasional filler lines used to satisfy the rhyme scheme

Thematic progression is loose, feeling more like a stream of consciousness than a narrative arc

Some punchlines rely on shock value rather than lyrical depth
