We Livin' Like That (2015)
Swim Season
Now I feel like 50 Cent
Cuz I see Many Men
Wish death upon me
Like a genie with them
But I put the Burner Barrel
To his Beanie Brim
And leave a Blood pool
Put on your Bikini and swim
This is one of my favorites to show to a non-believer who is, nonetheless, somewhat familiar with hip-hop culture. Wayne starts off firmly in his wheelhouse with a basic simile, and compares himself to 50 Cent. At this point, if you're familiar with 50's work, you can appreciate the reference to both the song Many Men, and its lyrics. He caps off the comparison by equating the death wishes aimed at him to the wishes one might make of a genie, that is to say they belong to the realm of the fantastical and imaginary.
The next few lines are his retort, and make up what I consider to be a quintessential Wayne bar. The first thing that jumps out is the alliteration on the B, which is never just a random letter when it comes to Tunechi. The violent imagery is par for the course, and, as is often the case, he uses a metaphorical comparison to make the listener imagine inordinate amounts of Blood, in this case enough to swim in.
Easy top 5.
