[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Okay^✦

I lost my mind, it's somewhere out there stranded

I think you stand under^✦ me if you don't understand me

Had my heart broken^✦ by this woman^✦ named^✦ Tammy^✦

But hoes gon' be hoes, so I couldn't blame Tammy^✦

Just talked^✦ to Moms, told her she the sweetest

I beat the beat up; call it self-defense

Swear, man, I be seein' through these niggas^✦ like sequins

Niggas^✦ think they He-Men,^✦ pow, pow, the end

Talkin'^✦ to myself because I am my own consultant

Married^✦ to the money,^✦ fuck the world; that's adultery

You full of shit, you close your mouth and let yo' ass talk

Young Money^✦ eatin',^✦ all you haters do is add salt

Stop playin', bitch, I got this game on deadbolt

Mind so sharp, I fuck around and cut my head off

Real nigga^✦ all day and tomorrow

But these ma'fuckers talkin'^✦ crazy^✦ like they jaw broke

Glass half empty,^✦ half full, I'll spill ya

Try me and run into^✦ a wall; outfielder

You know I'ma^✦ ball 'til they turn off the field lights

The fruits of my labor, I enjoy^✦ 'em while they still ripe

Bitch, stop playin', I do it like a king do

If these niggas^✦ animals, then I'ma^✦ have a mink soon

Tell 'em bitches I say put my name on the wall

I speak the truth, but I guess that's a foreign language to y'all

And I call it like I see it, and my glasses on

But most of y'all don't get the picture 'less the flash is on

Satisfied^✦ with nothin',^✦ you don't know the half of it

Young Money,^✦ Cash Money...^✦ uh

Paper^✦ chasin',^✦ tell that paper,^✦ "Look, I'm right behind^✦ ya"

Bitch, real G's move in silence^✦ like lasagna

People say I'm borderline^✦ crazy,^✦ sorta^✦ kinda^✦

Woman^✦ of my dreams, I don't sleep, so I can't find her

You niggas^✦ are gelatin, peanuts to an elephant

I got through that sentence^✦ like a subject and a predicate

Yeah, with a swag, you would kill for

Money^✦ too strong; pockets on bodybuilder

Jumped^✦ in a wishin'^✦ well, now wish me well

Tell 'em kiss my ass, call it kiss and tell

[Verse 3: Cory Gunz]

Yeah, word to my mama,^✦ I'm out of my lima^✦ bean

Don't wanna^✦ see what that drama^✦ mean, get some Dramamine^✦

Llama^✦ scream, hotter^✦ than summer^✦ sun on a Ghana^✦ queen

Now all I want is hits, bitch, Wayne signed^✦ a fiend

I-I play the side for you niggas^✦ that's tryna^✦ front, and see

Son of Gun, Son of Sam, you niggas^✦ the son of me

Pause for this dumber^✦ speech, I glow like Buddha^✦

Disturb me, and you'll be all over^✦ the flo' like Luda^✦

Bitch, I flow like scuba,^✦ bitch, I'm bold like Cuba^✦

And I keep a killer^✦ ho, she gon' blow right through ya

I be mackin',^✦ 'bout my stackin', amount I pack like a mover^✦

Shout to ratchet for backin'^✦ out on behalf^✦ of my shooter

Niggas^✦ think they high as I, I come laugh at your ruler^✦

Cash Money^✦ cold, bitch, but our actions is cooler,^✦ Wayne

These niggas^✦ out they mind, I done told these fuck niggas^✦ so many^✦ times^✦

That I keep them bucks steady^✦ on my mind, tuck these, I fuck these on your mind, pause

To feed them, on my grind, did I get a little love, keep throwin' my sign

In the middle, hit 'em up, piece on my side, ‘cause ain't no peace on my side

Bitch, I'm a man, I visit^✦ urinals with pride

Tune told me to, I'm shootin' when the funeral outside

I'm uptown,^✦ thoroughbred, a BX nigga^✦

Ya heard? Gunna^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"stand under me"

① Physical positioning (being beneath someone)② A literal definition of 'understand' (to stand under)

"I beat the beat up; call it self-defense"

① The act of aggressive rapping over an instrumental② The legal justification for violence (beating an assailant)

"seein' through these niggas like sequins"

① Figurative transparency (seeing through someone's facade)② Visual transparency (sequins are often translucent/shimmering fabrics)

"you close your mouth and let yo' ass talk"

① A colloquialism for 'talking shit'② A literal physiological interpretation of someone being full of waste/excrement

Exceptional rhythmic integration of complex internal rhymes

High density of wordplay per bar

Consistent, authoritative vocal performance

Effective use of contrast in tone within punchlines

Occasional reliance on juvenile tropes (adultery/hoes/mink references)

High complexity can sometimes overshadow cohesive narrative focus
