Just let em bleed and ignore the blood
Just let em be and ignore the buzz

Pour it up - catch a sugar rush
Chopper full of rust, but it still bust
Bust good as fuck - every bullet struck
Like a hundred holes got a hole in one

Safe full as fuck, money full of dust
And I'm pullin up in that What-The-Fuck
That's a muscle car, got me lookin buff
If you look enough, you a mussel, punk

That's a Bugatti on steroids
Bugatti on Chevrons
All white like an Altoid
All these rings on, call me bellboy

From the Teflon to the Kevlar
It don't mean shit when your head off
Make the top dog jump dead off
Then we keep his head for a memoire

Disregard what others are doing and any noise they might be making. The "let em be(e)" line feels like something you'd see on a motivational poster, but somehow that specific bit of wordplay and imagery didn't exist until Wayne's brain came up with it. At least, it didn't in my reality.

I like to imagine that the "chopper full of rust" line is a ringing endorsement of the AK-47 ("the very best there is"), a gun famous for staying functional even when it seems like it should be broken. In this case, not only is it still working, but it's perfectly accurate, and Wayne creates an interesting little image where the holes already exist and the bullets find their way to each one without fail. Some Tenet shit before Tenet was a thing.

His money is full of dust because it's old. Not because it has traces of some other kind of powder on it. Just a note to self.

I don't think I have enough room to go over all the rest, but I want to point out a few things that I'd actually like some assistance with. Something about the "mussel" line feels off and I can't make much sense of it. Why would looking at a car too long turn you into a mussel? Also, the Bugatti on Chevrons - I assume he's talking about the tires, but Chevron doesn't seem to make any, so maybe he's talking about a chevron style tread?

One last thing - if Teflon to Kevlar implies from the kitchen to the streets, then it's probably my favorite line here.
