[Intro | immediate staccato minor chord and sub hit, no drums, male chant chopped by the beat] Yeah [Complete full-mix hard mute for half a beat] Yeah [Complete full-mix hard mute for half a beat] Yeah [Complete full-mix hard mute for half a beat] Check that number (Read that back) [Full beat slams in on the next downbeat with no riser] [Verse 1 | heavy bass, dry drums, relaxed commanding flow, brief one-beat dropouts on punchlines] One hand on the wheel, other hand on the call Said the number one time, don't shave it at all Two-door matte black, title paid in full Pink slip in the safe, no bank on the hook Back when the whole play fit under the seat Now the wire clears clean while I'm brushing my teeth Whole lotta flex for a lease and a loan I can tell what you own by the way that you pose (That's rented) You brought a camera just to show you got paid I brought one black folder, made the whole room behave Talk slick in the lobby, got quiet upstairs One signature later, now your boss in my chair Don't call for a favor, call the rate and the date If the money ain't ready, keep my name off the slate I don't cut my price so your budget looks big Either come with the number or don't come with shit (Say it straight) [Refrain | drums drop to sub bass, clap and chord stabs] On the page, every word got weight, better read that back (Say it right) [Chorus | full drums return, wider chord stabs, heavier 808, blunt call-and-response] Wire hit short, put the zero back Full name on the paper, read that back Talk out your neck, that's an extra rack I said what I said, motherfucker, read that back (Read that back) [Verse 2 | tighter pocket, extra percussion, full-mix micro-cut after every fourth bar] Big dog, low tone, I don't yell for respect You can tell who got rank by who they call for the check Back when the rent had a red stamp stuck I could turn one clean play to a month paid up [Quarter-beat full-mix cut] Now the banker knows the last four soon as I step Same teller that declined me stands up at the desk That coupe in your video due back by ten Mine been parked three weeks, still worth more than yours (That's sad) Real money quiet, fake money need captions I can spot a rented chain when he panics at scratches Your man got a loud mouth, bodyguard eyes Mine don't say a word, they just watch both sides [Quarter-beat full-mix cut] Don't bring me a rumor, bring a date and a name Don't say “we can work,” have the deposit arranged If the total ain't right, I don't argue, I leave Then your boss call back with another twenty G's (Read it) [Refrain | bass-only first line, clap enters on the response] On the page, every word got weight, better read that back (Say it right) [Chorus | full beat, short drum vacuum before the final line] Wire hit short, put the zero back Full name on the paper, read that back Talk out your neck, that's an extra rack [One-beat drum vacuum, vocal remains dry] I said what I said, motherfucker, read that back (Read that back) [Verse 3 | beat stripped to kick, sub and chord stabs, full drums enter after four lines] New money, same code, still sharp with the count I remember who went missing when the rent ran out Now they fight for the slot after I turn it down If my name ain't the headline, tear the whole flyer down (Hell no) [Full drums slam back in] All they do is buy the look, I buy into the brand You celebrate the gross, I ask what cleared in the bank Every line in the deal got a number attached So before you bring it here, better read that back (Word for word) [Bridge | drums strip to kick pulse and handclaps, title phrase stutters, bass rebuilds in stages] Read it (Re-re-read that back) Read it (Re-re-read that back) [Complete full-mix hard mute for half a beat] Say the name (Say it right) Say the rate (Say it twice) [Complete full-mix hard mute for half a beat] Add that zero Then read that back (Read that back) [Final Chorus | widest chord layer, hardest bass, stacked doubles, two passes] Wire hit short, put the zero back Full name on the paper, read that back Talk out your neck, that's an extra rack I said what I said, motherfucker, read that back (Read that back) Wire hit short, put the zero back Full name, full rate, read that back Made me say it twice, now it's two extra racks I said what I said, motherfucker, read that back (Word for word) [Outro | instruments stop together, isolated dry vocal] No edit No discount (Read that back)
