  2. 04

    [Verse 1: Gucci Mane]

    05

    King of the skreets

    06

    And when these suckas see me, they should bow to my feet

    07

    And kiss the ground underneath

    08

    I look down at the beef

  3. 09

    That shit childish to me

    10

    Two hundred thousand to see me

    11

    And it's been sold out for weeks

    12

    Can't brush shoulders with me

  4. 13

    These stones in my choker are 2 karats apiece

    14

    Look like boulders to me

    15

    Damn, who colder than me?

    16

    You think he colder than me?

  5. 17

    You more bipolar than me

    I'm tryna book Beyoncé for my wedding day

    20

    I'm the type of nigga, spend a million on a wedding cake

  6. 21

    Niggas hate, but hesitate

    22

    They hate to see ya elevate

    23

    27

    Ask me why I'm smilin'

    28

    I say, "'Cause I make two mil' a day"

  8. 29

    And I might take your bitch and pay her bills

    30

    That's how I feel today

    31

    And I just wanna fuck

    32

    Don't wanna chill, that's how I feel today

  9. 33

    [Chorus: Gucci Mane]

  10. 38

    [Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]

    39

    Ay yo, ain't talkin' housewives, but I'm in the Porsche

    40

    First I'ma scorch her, then I'ma torch her

    41

    Then I'ma torture her, then I'ma off her

    42

    A million dollars for a show, they made their off-er

  11. 43

    Go against Nicki, it's gon' cost ya

    44

    'Cause now it's fuck ya, intercourse ya

    46

    I'm a yes and these bitches is a bunch of nahs

  12. 47

    Tryin’ to win a gunfight with a bunch of knives

    48

    I win, get off the bench and give a bunch of fives

    49

    I don't see her

    50

    Bitch I'm the greatest, no Kendrick and no Sia

    52

    Everybody know you jealous, bitch it's so clear

    53

    Tell them bum ass bitches to play their role

    54

    She see my sexy ass every time she scroll

    Block noteUses a degrading label to strip status

    TargetRemy Ma

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Everybody know you jealous, bitch it's so clear,” Gucci Mane replaces Remy Ma's chosen public identity with the degrading label in the quoted bar, making contempt—not neutral description—the point of the line. Why it was said: Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma's 2017 exchange escalated after verses on ‘Make Love’ and ‘Swalla,’ followed by Remy's ‘ShETHER’ and ‘Another One.’ Nicki answered across hit records by focusing on sales, chart power, imprisonment, alliances and the claim that Remy required Nicki's name for attention. The insult supplies listeners with a short rival definition of Remy Ma; repeating that definition is meant to damage the authority the target brings into the feud.

    Your career gon' be with Anna Nicole

    57

    Witcha dumbass face

    58

    She ain't eatin' but I swear she got some bum ass taste

    Block noteUses career results as evidence

    TargetRemy Ma

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Your career gon' be with Anna Nicole,” Gucci Mane turns releases, sales, label standing, or career momentum into a public measurement of Remy Ma's position. Why it was said: Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma's 2017 exchange escalated after verses on ‘Make Love’ and ‘Swalla,’ followed by Remy's ‘ShETHER’ and ‘Another One.’ Nicki answered across hit records by focusing on sales, chart power, imprisonment, alliances and the claim that Remy required Nicki's name for attention. The artist invokes an external scoreboard so listeners can compare Remy Ma's claims with visible results, making status something that can be disproved rather than merely debated.

    Pay your rent! And stay in your bum ass place

    61

    Oooohhh, oh you the qu-e-e-the queen of this here?

    62

    One platinum plaque, album flopped, bitch, where? (bitch, where?)

    Block noteTurns money and possessions into leverage

    TargetRemy Ma

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Pay your rent! And stay in your bum ass place,” Gucci Mane contrasts financial power or possessions with Remy Ma's alleged lack of money, access, or control.

The comparison converts status into material evidence and is meant to make Remy Ma's success claims look hollow beside something listeners can picture and measure.
