[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
And nigga,✦ if you know your ho, that ho a ho
You know that ho gon' ho for sure, for sure, for sure
She up next and she finna✦ blow, still the same ho
Kissing✦ on you with the same throat
If you know you know, that ho a ho
That ho is still gon' ho for sure, for sure, for sure
She up next and she finna✦ blow, she still the same ho
Kissing✦ on you with the same throat
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Shorty✦ not a thief, but she steal a show, but she still a ho
I'ma✦ need a million✦ dollar✦ bitch and a million✦ more
She know I'm a million✦ dollar✦ nigga✦ with a million✦ hoes
Chillin' way up in my condominium on the millionth floor
She said that these niggas broke, they make her sick, she healing slow
She said she sick and tired✦ of being sick and tired✦ like Mystikal
I got cash from years ago,✦ I ball 'til my Achilles tore
You say you stackin' money✦ to the roof, lil' boy, your ceilings low
She been catching feelings though
She been all in my business like Siri though
I don't believe✦ in no miracles
She swallow my bacterials
I fucked✦ your ho, conduct your ho
If you don't believe✦ it, there's✦ video✦
That ain't your ho, that was your ho
She just a ho, she been a ho
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
And nigga,✦ if you know your ho, that ho a ho
You know that ho gon' ho for sure, for sure, for sure
She up next and she finna✦ blow, still the same ho
Kissing✦ on you with the same throat
If you know you know, that ho a ho
That ho is still gon' ho for sure, for sure, for sure
She up next and she finna✦ blow, she still the same ho
Kissing✦ on you with the same throat
[Outro: Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz]
Lil' mama✦ not no thief (She ain't no thief), not no thief
Steal a show, but she still a ho (Yeah), yeah
She steal a show, but she still a ho (Yeah)
I just might buy her a Acura✦ (Uh)
Tell her to drive it to Africa✦ (What?)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse relies on Wayne's signature 'stream of consciousness' elasticity, using a hyper-focused rhyme density to drive home cynical themes of transactional relationships and wealth displays.

Rhyme Architecture: A dense, AAAA-style terminal rhyme structure centered on the 'o' assonance (show, ho, more, hoes, floor, slow, Mystikal, tore, low, though, though, miracles, bacterials, ho, video), punctuated by rapid-fire internal multi-syllabic clusters.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Shorty not a thief, but she steal a show, but she still a ho"

① She has a captivating presence that 'steals the show' in social settings.② Despite her ability to captivate, she remains a 'ho' (promiscuous/transactional) in Wayne's classification.

"I ball 'til my Achilles tore"

① A reference to the mythological Achilles' heel, suggesting his lifestyle is physically taxing and prone to 'weakness'.② A literal athletic metaphor for playing basketball or performing until a career-ending injury occurs from overexertion.

"She been all in my business like Siri though"

① She is invasive and overly inquisitive about his private affairs.② A reference to the digital assistant 'Siri', which is literally programmed to listen to and track everything a user says.

High-level rhythmic pocket maintenance

Clever integration of pop-culture references (Mystikal/Siri)

Strong tonal consistency regarding the cynical subject matter

Effective use of assonance to create a hypnotic, repetitive soundscape

Occasional reliance on crude lyrical shock value

Themed repetition can border on one-dimensionality

Limited thematic depth beyond materialism and infidelity
