[Bridge]
I only✦ got one vision,✦ that's for kids in every✦ color,✦ religion
That listen,✦ we gotta✦ beat the system,✦ stay the fuck out the prisons
They try to blind our vision,✦ but we all God children, we siblings
You my brother, you my kin, fuck the color✦ of your skin
[Verse 2]
Back once again✦
Chilling in the back of the 'Lac with a pass or the gin
Finna✦ ask can I pass to her friend
Then a nigga✦ smash, I'll be damned✦ if I ask her again✦
Gold slabs on the 'Lac when I spin
Then it's back to the back of the Benz
Lean back in the back with the Henn and a crap
When I tap that that, then attack,✦ never✦ tax, never✦ that that
Max on the ends, spend ends, I remember way back when
A mothafucka used✦ to have to borrow✦ cash from my friends
Friends, just to put a snack up in the fridge
When I'm on, I swear to God to pay you back
Now the kids all look up to me
Them bitches wanna✦ fuck with me
My idols say what's up to me
From ugly✦ to comfortably, suddenly✦
[Outro]
It all changed✦ man, it was just like yesterday
Times✦ was so ugly✦ and now I'm comfortable
I just only✦ can thank God, suddenly✦
Everything changed✦ before✦ my eyes by my surprise
A$AP
What’s up, nigga?✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse relies heavily on internal rhyme density and rhythmic momentum rather than high-level lyrical abstraction, effectively using a cyclical flow to mirror the transition from poverty to success.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse utilizes a complex AAAA rhyme scheme centered on the 'in' and 'en' sounds, creating a relentless, locked-in rhythmic loop that persists through the narrative shift.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"From ugly to comfortably, suddenly"

① Physical transformation from being considered unattractive/poor to being successful.② A play on the phonetic similarity of the words to emphasize how quickly the life change occurred.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Strong emotional shift from struggle to success

High internal rhyme density creates a hypnotic listening experience

Lack of complex metaphorical layering

Over-reliance on repetitive rhyming suffixes

Minimal use of multi-layered entendres
