[Chorus]

Another^✦ day, another^✦ dollar^✦

[Verse 2]

My fortune 500 is fully^✦ funded^✦

Joints I pumps, gives my pockets the mumps

I'm the glossiest^✦ and the costliest^✦

Feel the force of this

Lyrical arsonist

Hotter^✦ than a yacht with rottweillers

Chicks in choppers with they thong sittin'^✦ proper^✦

The crisp poppa^✦ bringin' drama^✦ like soap operas^✦

The showstopper if u playas don't flow proper^✦

I'm the jiggiest,^✦ bitch, shit the wittiest^✦

Wonderin' why cats front on who's the williest^✦

Chill, relax, you cats will fall

10 mill, 10 plaques^✦ upon my wall

You stall, mix large, I see y'all

Mash ya like roaches^✦ then cop diamond broaches^✦

Supercalla, nevermind the alladocious

Cinder-fellas, get blazed^✦ and you can quote this

[Chorus]

Another^✦ day, another^✦ dollar^✦

[Verse 3]

I'm the MC that you strive to be

Competition is dead, 'cause ain't none of y'all live as me

Handsome moody,^✦ I keep it raw, baby^✦

So save all the goodfella shit for Scorsese

So iced^✦ up, they call me Mount Everest

The many^✦ get honey^✦ ways draped^✦ over^✦ my headrest

I run game from Fort Green to Maine

I keep ya head noddin'^✦ like dope is in your vein

Hail to the King Cajone^✦ .. jing-a-ling

I buy ya clicks loyalty with one pinkie ring

Gotta^✦ be above^✦ average^✦ to grow cabbage^✦

I wreck havoc, do damage^✦

Don't have it

Uh huh, techniques^✦ up to par

Yeah you, get ya black ass looped^✦ like Mardi Gras

Chick soup too

Hittin'^✦ me off in yo' car

Blaze her in the alley^✦ 'cause she actin'^✦ bourgeoise

[Chorus]

Another^✦ day, another^✦ dollar^✦

[Outro]

Ah man, it's hard bein' the King, baby^✦

But someone's gotta^✦ do it, haha^✦

Delivery

Multisyllabic internal rhyme clustersConsonant heavy alliterationRhythmic syncopationEnd-rhyme repetition

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AAAA/BBBB structures with heavy reliance on internal multisyllabic clusters (e.g., funded/mumps/glossiest/costliest) that create a high-density, repetitive sonic texture.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"gives my pockets the mumps"

① Physical expansion due to monetary wealth (money bags)② A reference to the viral disease Mumps, which causes swelling, metaphorically describing 'swollen' pockets full of cash.

"Hotter than a yacht with rottweillers"

① A display of extreme wealth and luxury ownership② An aggressive warning of danger/intensity; the combination of the heat of the yacht and the unpredictable nature of the guard dogs.

High-energy delivery that commands the beat

Exceptional technical mastery of vowel sound clusters

Strong command of cadence and rhythmic pockets

Subject matter remains largely surface-level

Lacks complex metaphoric layering characteristic of higher-tier lyricism

Reliance on bravado tropes common to the era
