[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Uh, stop playin', I ain't with that bullshit
Niggas✦ act like bitches,✦ Sheneneh, oh my goodness
This is Wayne's✦ world, and y'all are just some tourists
Give me three wishes,✦ I wish, I wish, I wish you would, bitch
Brand new pussy,✦ pussy✦ good as baby✦ powder✦
Two Glock .40's, nigga,✦ you got eighty✦ problems
Swimmin' in the money,✦ I'ma✦ need some fuckin'✦ goggles
It's better✦ to give, but we don't give a fuck about✦ 'em
I just came home, shit done got real, ho
Lil' Weezyana, the boot nigga,✦ steel toe
I ain't workin'✦ with a full deck but I deal, ho
I just touched down, kick the motherfuckin' field goal
Talkin✦ 'bout baby✦ money?✦ I got your baby✦ money✦
Kidnap your bitch, get that "How much you love your lady?"✦ money✦
I know you fake, nigga,✦ press your brakes,✦ nigga✦
I'll take you out, that's a date, nigga✦
I'm a grown-ass Blood, stop playin' with me
Play asshole and get an ass whippin'
I think you pussy✦ cat, ha, Hello✦ Kitty✦
I just throw the alley-oop to Drake Griffin
I lay 'em down, Tempurpedic
This shit's a game of chess, you niggas✦ think it's cleavage
It's Young Money,✦ yeah, tis the season
I give you the business,✦ bitch, this a business✦ meetin'✦
My niggas✦ hungry,✦ my bitches✦ greedy✦
Will I die a bloody✦ murder,✦ dear Mr. Ouija?✦
Nigga,✦ I'm straight, my girl a faggot✦
Potato✦ on the barrel,✦ pop!
Potato✦ salad
[Outro: Lil Wayne]
Ugh!

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AAAA and AABB structures, heavily reliant on internal assonance and multi-syllabic end-rhymes (e.g., 'powder'/'problems'/'goggles'/'about 'em' utilizing slanted vowel matches).
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Two Glock .40's, nigga, you got eighty problems"

① A reference to the Jay-Z idiom '99 problems', calculating two .40 caliber handguns equaling 80 rounds/units of force.② A direct numerical calculation of weapon capacity versus general misfortune.

"I ain't workin' with a full deck but I deal, ho"

① Playing on the idiom 'not a full deck' meaning slightly crazy or mentally unstable.② A literal reference to dealing cards or drug distribution (dealing) despite the lack of a standard set.

"I just throw the alley-oop to Drake Griffin"

① A basketball metaphor for setting up teammate Drake for a verse/play.② A specific pop-culture portmanteau referencing NBA player Blake Griffin, substituting 'Blake' with 'Drake' to signal their collaborative association.

Exceptional rhythmic lock-in on multisyllabic end rhymes

Effective use of non-sequitur humor to heighten intimidation

High-energy vocal projection that keeps momentum despite scattered topics

Loose thematic consistency compared to traditional verse construction

Reliance on 'pussy/bitch' trope crutches which dilute potential lyrical impact

Structural drift in the latter third of the verse
