[Hook]
(get busy✦ y'all)
You better✦ watch me x4
[LL]
Still bangin✦ both, still hangin✦
Look like a - thank God i'm still reigning
I'm light on my feet, you can't judge me by the weigh-in
I'ts hard to grasp some of the shit I be sayin
It flys over✦ your head like a second✦ string is
You can't comprehend me
You couldn't place a decimal on the paper✦ im makin✦
Blind man can't appreciate on Picasso's creation
No wonder✦ y'all keep hatin✦
Is L really✦ to go young boy's debatin'
You play johnny✦ ? i'll keep on cakin'✦
You can't compare me to them line for line
I'm beyond that I represent ? of time
Classic my style can't be defined
I'll be relavent forever, get it through your mind
Just watch me
[Hook]

With my L in the air
And a bottle of bub

With my L in the air
And a bottle of bub

Back on the scene, back reppin✦ queens
Turnin✦ Def Jam back into✦ a marketing machine
Now we talkin✦ autographs, cheers and laughs
I got interns tellin✦ niggas✦ kiss they ass

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Light on my feet, you can't judge me by the weigh-in"

① Physical agility and boxing-like movement.② A dismissal of critical standards or status-based 'measurements' applied to his career.

"You couldn't place a decimal on the paper im makin"

① The amount of money is so large it defies typical accounting.② His financial success is so massive that standard metrics of wealth are irrelevant.

Consistent rhythmic pocket and flow

Strong vocal presence and character

Effective use of internal rhyme clusters

Surface-level wordplay

Lack of complex metaphors

Repetitive lyrical themes common to the era's boast-rap style
