[Verse 2: Mad Squablz]

Uh, to fuck with me, you need your ammo^✦ up

Proceed to stand on punks, you know the schemes will leave your flannel scuffed

Peep the handle, son, know my procedure be to damage^✦ stuff

No Madden^✦ franchise, but this my season,^✦ we just havin'^✦ fun

Uh, cash rules^✦ everythin' I hate and love

Niggas^✦ hate to face reality, that's why we takin'^✦ drugs

Payin' plugs, but there will come a time when it just ain't enough^✦

You might just turn to Cobain^✦ if you ain't as tough

I might emerge^✦ with propane, it's a fatal stunt

Properly insert a bold claim as if I ain't the one

And now I'm rhymin'^✦ with a legend^✦ like I said I would

Intrinsically, I murder^✦ beats just like a legend^✦ should

Tried to convince 'em I was meant for this, the best I could

Niggas^✦ narcoleptic, won't accept^✦ I'm here to wreck for good

Feelin'^✦ more intrepid, more receptive since I left the hood

Feelin'^✦ more adept^✦ and on your neck's where l'ma plant my foot

[Verse 3: J-S.A.N.D.]

Name a nigga^✦ that flow harder^✦

Flow more graphic than flow charts

Won't relax till I build up these plaques and hold tartar

Spare no targets, got a flow so nauseous

I cough up words and throw bars up

Hardly^✦ a reverend, but I'm always gon' thank the Lord for the blessings

In life, I learned that takin'^✦ losses^✦ is a part of the lesson^✦

I fathered you peasants, you niggas^✦ my sons

So when I kill you motherfuckers,^✦ we'll just call it postpartum depression^✦

Lafayette, Louisiana, where niggas^✦ be squeezin' hammers

Niggas^✦ don't speak with grammar, so people gon think we bamas^✦

It's frequent to keep your hands up, anybody^✦ can get it

And anybody^✦ can give it to you, it's like Secret^✦ Santa^✦

I'm sayin', you niggas^✦ is nothin'^✦ like me and my

You look at niggas^✦ and deify,^✦ we defy^✦

Defeat^✦ and divide,^✦ reheat^✦ and refry^✦

Niggas^✦ ain't reachin' this high, need to repeat^✦ and retry^✦

Bitch, I'm too different to be in any^✦ competition^✦ with y'all

The only^✦ way I quit is if you get petitions involved

So you can place your bets, you bet against me, you gon' stay in debt

I stay the best 'cause I'm the only^✦ rookie that can face the vets

You little niggas^✦ never^✦ raisin'^✦ threats

You niggas^✦ bitter^✦ and y'all sweet, you motherfuckers^✦ is Raisinettes

I'm layin' low and chasin'^✦ checks

'Cause when I blow, I'm finna^✦ run the rap game like the FitnessGram Pacer^✦ Test

[Verse 4: Don Pablito]

You niggas^✦ can't check me, I hope your next move don't upset^✦ me

Got fresh prints on this barrel,^✦ in a suit like Jeffrey^✦

I get you clean through your towel,^✦ had to clean up the towns

For the beef we browse, like releasin' the hounds

Had the monkey^✦ on the counter with his hands on his mouth

The other^✦ monkey^✦ for his ears so we ain't hearin'^✦ you out

The third monkey^✦ had his hands over^✦ his eyes

So you can get buried^✦ if you imply^✦

I'm outta^✦ the country where two can dine, now honey,^✦ you can't deny^✦

The shooters come in flurries like Curry^✦ and Luka^✦ Don

Now say hello^✦ to the motherfuckin' Don

Tip toe, don't you come across that line (Don't die)

'Cause you just one of plenty^✦ niggas,^✦ I ain't any^✦ nigga^✦

Billion^✦ dollars worth of silly^✦ niggas,^✦ we brought Gillie with us

That separate you from your mama^✦ titty,^✦ nigga^✦

Jump up out the Bentley,^✦ nigga,^✦ better^✦ sit up when you see the dealer^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"No Madden franchise, but this my season"

① A reference to the popular Madden NFL video game series.② A declaration that despite lacking corporate backing or commercial 'franchise' status, the artist is dominating their current creative cycle.

"Won't relax till I build up these plaques and hold tartar"

① Accumulating RIAA music industry award plaques.② A dental metaphor suggesting the accumulation of grit and buildup (tartar) through the intense effort required to achieve industry success.

Exceptional density of internal rhymes

Strong command of cadence and pocket navigation

Clear, confident delivery with effective dynamic shifts

Coherent thematic progression within the multisyllabic constraints

Reliance on somewhat dated pop-culture references

Thematic resolution occasionally feels predictable within the 'hard rapper' archetype

Occasional trade-off of complex narrative for technical rhyme performance
