Walkin

Walkin' with my back to the Sun, keep my head to the sky Me against the world, it's me, myself and I, like De La Got in touch with my soul Treadin' softly on the path down the rockiest road Life isn't ice cream without monopoly dough The property grows in value, and rightfully so, I gotta have it I see the way the people get treated, it's problematic They ready to set us up for failure, it's systematic But when I felt it, my eyes melted The selfish are constantly profitin' off the helpless I never do my team green, make the team green like the Celtics The ones that ain't makin' it overzealous, they show and tell us Throughout history, earnin' cheddar They form and break out nickel-plated chrome Berettas The same old story in a whole different era I'm watchin' massacres turn to runnin' mascara But any who, for the pain, see what this Henny do So we can see what lies beneath as we pour up a swig of truth The Sun sets as I sip a few, the sky turns a different hue Further from the color blue The night time has arrived, I recline for the evening I'm hawkin' down the next goal, the names ain't Steven I started in a nightmare so pinch me, I'm dreamin' I'm killin' off my demons 'cause my soul's worth redeemin'

Rhyme Scheme

Evolving 24-bar architecture shifting from open /aɪ/ and back-vowel /oʊ/ assonance into an extended /ætɪk/ and /ɛlt/ matrix ('problematic' / 'melted' / 'helpless' / 'Celtics'), an /ɛrə/ slant block ('Berettas' / 'mascara'), a triple-syllable /i/-/u/ chain ('Henny do' / 'swig of truth' / 'different hue'), and dual /iːv/ and /iːm/ nasal resolutions.

Producer Notes

Denzel Curry constructs a fluid, evolving 24-bar structure that transitions seamlessly between distinct multi-syllabic phonetic blocks across varying line lengths. By pivoting on strict consonant closures—shifting from back-vowel /oʊ/ assonance to slant triple-syllables ('systematic' / 'eyes melted' / 'helpless' / 'Celtics') and concluding with a dense /iːm/ nasal cluster ('dreamin'' / 'demons' / 'redeemin'')—he maintains perpetual momentum without sacrificing narrative clarity.
