Ride with a nigga✦ mane, and you know
I stay fly like the jigga✦ mane, and it figures
'Cause here is something you can't understand
How I could just kill a man, anyways✦
Nowadays✦ everybody's stressed,✦ yes
Animosity is better✦ off your chest, yes
Guess, everybody want to stay blessed,✦ stay fresh
Take a nigga✦ threats, but I'm up next, take debts (Uh)

Light it, light it, puff it, puff it, pass it, pass it (Yeah)

Rhyme Architecture: The verse utilizes a dense, heavily enjambed AABB/AAAA structure characterized by tight, multisyllabic clusters focused on vowel consonance, particularly the 'i' and 'ou' sounds, which drives the aggressive cadence.
