Shake, shake that ass like a salt shaker✦
She just got a fake ass, it be soft later✦
Don't take that trash from them heart-breakers
Take, take that cash (Jahlil✦ beats, holla✦ at me!)

Hold up, shake, shake that ass like a salt shaker✦ (Make that ass clap like a round of applause)✦
Shake, shake that ass like a salt shaker✦ (Make that ass clap like a round of applause)✦
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh (Make that ass clap like a round of applause)✦

Wobble-di-wobble,✦ lil' mama✦ ass is colossal

She gon' do it for the culture, then go viral✦ and viral✦ (Woo)
Viral✦ and viral,✦ ooh, viral✦ and viral✦
Pull that grande out my pants and grind it like Ariana✦
Grind it like Ariana,✦ grind it like marijuana✦
I make her holla✦ like a virgin✦ Madonna, go soprano
Call me Kurt Cocaine, wilin'✦ like I'm Nirvana✦
I eat it like a piranha, she got a tongue like iguana✦
She wear her hair like E. Honda,✦ a birthday suit for pajamas

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne relies on high-velocity phonetic chaining and pop-culture non-sequitur associations to maintain momentum rather than deep thematic subtext.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Grind it like Ariana, grind it like marijuana"

① Physical grinding/sexual movement compared to the pop star Ariana Grande.② The act of processing cannabis for consumption.

"Call me Kurt Cocaine"

① A phonetic play on Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.② A direct reference to the artist's history with narcotics use.

"I make her holla like a virgin Madonna"

① Referring to the iconic pop star's hit song 'Like a Virgin'.② A ironic contradiction using the religious figure's name to describe a non-virgin act.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

High-energy cadence

Effective use of phonetic mirroring

Strong vocal presence

Lyrical content leans heavily on repetitive tropes

Lack of narrative depth or multi-layered subtext

Similes feel forced for the sake of rhyme rather than imagery

Structure is entirely dependent on the loop
