Caterpillar
Royce da 5'9" feat. Eminem & King Green
I'm a product of Parker Lewis and Kubiak If didn't do this, where in the fuck would you be at? See there's a difference between us, what I spit hit arenas You a drip from my penis, I eat lions and sip hyenas You number one when it come to slaughtering mics I'm tryna be number one in my son and daughter life Uhh, all you niggas my little rapper babies Y'all my children, y'all bit my shit and contracted rabies Don't you grade me next to these rappers, baby, that's degrading My style got so many different facets I switch into so many different passions I'm skippin' class to be fascinatin' My pen is like Big Ben, this shit's just a classic waiting Your favorite rapper come at me, I just decapitate him I hate congratulating these has-beens who had their highs These rappers only won their matches because they strategize I bring Attica to these patterns, and here's my battle cry
Rhyme Scheme
Sequential multi-syllabic matrix shifting through long-e sibilants (/iːnəs/), a long-a/b-consonant cluster (/eɪbiːz/, /eɪdɪŋ/), a short-e internal chime ('pen'/'Big Ben'), a short-a percussive chain (/æ/), a four-syllable /eɪtɪŋ/ cadence ('fascinatin'' / 'decapitate him' / 'congratulating'), and a long-I open resolution.
Producer Notes
Royce da 5'9" constructs a dense phonetic matrix, seamlessly shifting from multi-syllabic compound endings (/iːnəs/) into intricate four-syllable cadence chains anchored by '-ating' ('fascinatin'' / 'decapitate him' / 'congratulating'). He demonstrates exceptional architectural flexibility by embedding short-e internal consonant stacks ('pen' / 'Big Ben') and short-a percussive stops ('has-beens' / 'Attica' / 'patterns') within extended end-rhyme schemes.
