[Chorus]
I said it must be 'cause a nigga✦ got dough (It must be, uh)
Extraordinary✦ swag and a mouth full of gold (Uh)
Hoes at my shows, they be strippin'✦ off they clothes✦ (Yeah)
And them college✦ girls write a nigga✦ name on they toes (Alright)✦
Niggas✦ talk shit 'til they get lockjaw✦ (Uh)
Chrome to ya dome 'til ya get glockjaw✦ (Uh)
Party✦ like a cowboy✦ or a rockstar✦ (Uh)
Everybody✦ play the tough guy 'til shit pop off (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm the shit, tell me, do it stink?
It feel good wakin'✦ up to money✦ in the bank
Three model✦ bitches, cocaine on the sink
And I'm so 'bout it—'bout✦ it, I might roll up in a tank
'Cause my chain came from Cuba,✦ got a lock up on the link
And them red bottom loafers just to compliment the mink
Eyes chink, rollin'✦ up that dank, blowin'✦ on that stank
What you mean? Tell me what you drink, I'm on that kissin'✦ pink
You could call me Billy✦ Gates,✦ got a crib in every✦ state
Man on the moon, got a condo out in space
Open up your legs, tell me how it taste
And them niggas✦ talkin'✦ shit so tell 'em, "Tell it to my face"
Tell that bitch, hop up on my dick, rolled✦ up on her quick
In a six, told her suck a dick, motorboat her tits
I'm the shit, niggas✦ mad 'cause I'm smooth puffin'✦ Zig-Zags
Tell 'em quit the riff-raff, bitchin' with your bitch-ass
[Chorus]
I said it must be 'cause a nigga✦ got dough (It must be, uh)
Extraordinary✦ swag and a mouth full of gold (Uh)
Hoes at my shows, they be strippin'✦ off they clothes✦ (Yeah)
And them college✦ girls write a nigga✦ name on they toes (Alright)✦
Niggas✦ talk shit 'til they get lockjaw✦ (Uh)
Chrome to ya dome 'til ya get glockjaw✦ (Uh)
Party✦ like a cowboy✦ or a rockstar✦ (Uh)
Everybody✦ play the tough guy 'til shit pop off (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
Oh, yeah, oh, alright✦
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Everybody✦ play the tough guy 'til shit pop off (Alright)✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Rocky uses a highly rhythmic, repetitive internal rhyme structure that prioritizes pocket-alignment and stylistic swagger over dense lyrical metaphors.

exceptional rhythmic pocket

consistent, high-density internal rhyme scheme

authoritative and effortless vocal delivery

strong command of cadence variation

literal lyrical content lacks deep conceptual subtext

reliance on repetitive word endings that can feel predictable

some lines function more as rhythmic fillers than narrative progressors
