[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a pimp under✦ pressure, but it's necessary✦
Treat a bad bitch better✦ than a veterinary✦
Eat a bad bitch 'less she got that hairy,✦ hairy✦
I could take her ex out of her vocabulary✦
[Chorus]
I, yeah got a lot on my mind
Tell my slime, don't be surprised✦ if I cry, I cry
He say "Why?" I say "Why?"
He say "Damn, my nigga,✦ never✦ mind," oh no
That's why I just get high
I light one and watch time go by, go, go
Is this love, is it lust, is it drugs?
All I know is I tried
No, really,✦ really,✦ I tried
Although I'm really,✦ really✦ up, I'm
Still gonna✦ give you all my downtime
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
[Verse 2]
We ain't no junkies, but today,✦ we're like Snow White
Whatever✦ we like, she don't judge me
Though I may need her to be the one to give me life
'Cause I'm me, I'm the one she sells her soul to
That's because she knows, I don't buy dreams
I'm the one, she comes✦ and goes
But whatever,✦ who knows? Not me
I'm the one she does the most
So when she do the most
At least, the most, at least
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Never✦ mind
[Outro]
I, I, got a lot on my mind
To my slime, don't be surprised✦ if I cry, I cry
He say "Why?" I say "Why?"
He say "Damn, my nigga,✦ never✦ mind"

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Lil Wayne utilizes his trademark stream-of-consciousness delivery to anchor a series of mid-tier but rhythmic wordplay sequences, prioritizing the 'vibe' and pocket-feel over complex thematic depth.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on heavy internal rhyme density within lines rather than a rigid AABB or ABAB end-rhyme structure, favoring fluid, conversational delivery.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"we're like Snow White / Whatever we like, she don't judge me"

① A reference to the seven dwarfs (and their proximity to 'snow'/drugs) who are taken in by Snow White without judgment.② A subversion of the fairy tale archetype where the woman (Snow White) enables the narrator's habits instead of guiding him toward righteousness.

"I don't buy dreams"

① Financial independence; refusing to pay for false promises or superficial status symbols.② Emotional stoicism; a refusal to engage in delusional thinking or romantic illusions about his lifestyle.

High internal rhyme density creates a compelling rhythmic 'pocket'

Effective use of conversational, semi-melodic delivery

Strong structural coherence between the chorus setup and verse payoff

Vocabulary remains standard for the era

Some metaphors lack deep subtext, relying on surface-level associations

Relies heavily on non-lexical vocal fills rather than complex linguistic structures
