A fraternity of drug dealers ringin' off
I just happen to be alumni
Too legit, they still lookin' at me with one eye

Hustle leads with 9 of 17 lines, then confidence on 6 and wit on 5. All but one are lyrics, mostly from DAYTONA (If You Know You Know, Infrared, The Games We Play, Come Back Baby) and It's Almost Dry (Dreamin Of The Past, Let The Smokers Shine The Coupes), plus Rock N Roll. The one interview line comes from GQ (2018). The page is drug-dealing imagery as bragging rights: alumni of a fraternity of dealers, the only rapper who sold more dope being Eazy-E, and a Super Mario line about making the jump to each level. The street remains the point of reference throughout.
Let's cram numbers, easily
The only rapper sold more dope than me was Eazy-E
How could you ever right these wrongs
When you don't even write your songs?
Walk it down like Brady, gets better with time
Didn't have to reinvent the wheel, just a better design
Critics: "He's out of his mind"; haters: "He's out of his prime" (I began to lose control)
Yet, always where the money's at like lottery signs
I been gettin' at these coins as I'm breakin' down a brick
Made the jump to each level, Super Mario exists
Sometimes I wish my fanbase was more like J. Cole's
But dope boys gotta be the man like they know
If he claims king and he claim best, then I guess you can call me God,
There's none higher, none flyer
I call it "pull-up-and-park music." Pull up at the store, pull up on the corner, park, blast the shit, roll the windows down, everybody circling around the car.
Kilogram Kickstarter, push a brick harder
Left my elbow in the pot, à la Vince Carter
If kilograms is the proof
I done sold the golden goose
I got 'em, baby, I'm Jim Perdue
Cocaine's Dr. Seuss
Wonder where this started from, the facts are frightening
Richard Pryor's flame gave birth to pipe dreams, now we here
In these ten crack commandments, I'm Moses, yeah
ARs do your body like folding chairs, sit down
They don't miss you 'till you gone with the wind
And they tired of dancin' like a Ying Yang Twin
You can't have the Yin without the Yang, my friend
Real niggas bring balance to the game I'm in (Yugh)
Dance contest for the smokers
I predict snow, Al Roker (If you know, you know)
I only ever looked up to Sosa
You all get a bird, this nigga Oprah
Shit, remember Will Smith won the first Grammy?
And they ain't even recognize Hov until "Annie"
They tweet about the length I made 'em wait
What the fuck you expect when a nigga got a cape and he's great?
This ain't a wave or phase, 'cause all that shit fades
This lifestyle's forever when you made
