There's a couple reasons I picked this section of the song in particular. The first is the change in the beat, because Wayne is always conscious of it and switches up his flow like it's the most natural thing in the world for him. The second is another classic Weezy comparison of brutal violence to something mundane and harmless, in this case the blood on your face is like make up, and dolled up goes from meaning "ready for a night out on the town" to "dead." Overall it also reminds me of the Nino Brown documentary where you see him recording this particular section, and he talks a little bit about the changes he makes on the fly to make sure what he's saying sounds good and makes sense. A master at work. I also like the Tim Tebow line cuz it has some good alliteration on the T and can be a bit of a tongue twister.

If you haven't seen the documentary, I recommend. If there's one thing I want as far as more Wayne content, it's in-studio clips and documentaries.
