[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
You know, I was wondering, you know
The force, it's got a lot of power✦ and
The force, it's got a lot of power✦ and
The force, it's got a lot of power✦ and
The force, it makes✦ me feel like
[Verse 2: LL Cool J & Michael Jackson]
Chef's in the kitchen while we out fly fishin'✦ (Ooh, ooh!)
Water✦ so clean, you can see the fish pissin'✦
Convos on the speed boat, just listen✦
She servin'✦ for the Birkin✦ and the signature edition✦ (The force)
VVS to death 'cause we understood the mission✦
Now we Sky Dwellin',✦ rebellin'✦ against the system✦
Bad boys before✦ P. Diddy✦ and the Pistons
Doin' better✦ numbers than Harvard mathematicians
Farmers Boulevard, coolin',✦ 9 double parked✦
On the eat with them paper✦ plates,✦ she gotta hustle smart
Someone caught a bullet,✦ they ain't talkin'✦ 'bout the charge (The force)
Inspiration✦ for my soldiers walkin'✦ in the yard
Open✦ seas at high speed, floatin' like a god
Feel the breeze, sip Chablis, bust open✦ a cigar
Over✦ time, her tan lines✦ look like a work of art
Now the hub, but she pop bubbs in hot tubs
And she love to lay on plush rugs for foot rubs
So what's up? (The force)
You feelin'✦ the force, we got plugs (The force)
Put you onto power,✦ plug you in and light you up bruh (The force)
It take a team to get a chip
Medallion✦ swingin', money✦ machines in the whip
If you want a bankroll, follow✦ the code, don't slip
You can't get frustrated king, we don't quit (The force)
Gettin'✦ money✦ is automatic, that's why we drop sticks
If we wasn't doin' this, it'd be ninety✦ nine bricks
So we glad we on the yacht with the boss and doin' some real shit (Ooh!)

"Now we Sky Dwellin', rebellin' against the system"

① A reference to the luxury Rolex Sky-Dweller timepiece② A literal description of high-altitude travel or a metaphorical status of being above societal constraints

"Someone caught a bullet, they ain't talkin' 'bout the charge"

① Physical trauma from a firearm discharge② A play on the legal sense of 'charge' vs. the electrical or kinetic energy of the bullet impact

Consistent command of the pocket

Strong evocative luxury imagery

Fluid integration of internal rhyme clusters

Occasional reliance on surface-level braggadocio
