[Verse]

Most of these homophobes insecure they been gay

Hide behind their hate to Numb the pain away Bengay

No MJ, but see I been Klay

Thompson with the left when he’s shooting it from the mid range

Ayo, kid strange , talking big game

Oscar night shit, my life is 30 minus 6 frames

The flows progressive, never interlaced with false claims

Here to school these niggas, thats a promise, no Lebron James

So good morning, afternoon, and fuck you

Its the dude Marcus coming live from the stu

Twice as nice, eating rice with a side of cous cous

Too cool for the school dropped out like a deuce (deuce)

It’s really shitty if you isn’t fuckin wit me

If I’m a seven got me asking “who’s ten?” Word to Whitney

Ya feeling me? Killing me softly, off of these

If we talking Latin, you can call me Mephistopheles

Fulfilling prophecies and eating at the Jollibee

Golly gee, willikers, spit a verse

Leave you tongue tied and cross eyed like a Whitaker

I’ma be like Diddy dancing up in the video

My shit rock, Dwayne Johnson on the TikTok

No time for birds I’m the opposite of Hitchcock

Little wavy, kinda crazy, dope when I speak

Look how I body-ody-ody-ody-odied the beat

(ah)

Look how I body-ody-ody-ody-odied the beat

(ah)

Little wavy, kinda crazy, dope when I speak

Look how I body-ody-ody-ody-odied the beat

What up Dixon!

I wrote this song when I was 30 years old. 30 minus 6 is 24. 24 frames per second is the rate at which film is shot.

A cheeky interpolation of Body by Megan The Stallion which became extremely popular on TikTok in 2020

I’m not claiming to be the Michael Jordan of Rappers. Klay is one of the NBA’s best shooters. Named one of the “Splash Brothers” because he frequently drops buckets. I’m left handed so my success with the pen is comparable.

A triple entendre: Flo is the Progressive Insurance spokeswoman where they process insurance claims. My rapping skills and flow have gotten progressively better since I began in 2004 and I write from a very personal place never making any false claims. Lastly, relating back to the previous lyric film is typically shot 24p which stands for “24 frames per second progressive.” which means the frame gets completely replaced 24 times in a second. This is different from footage shot in 30i/60i (the i stands for interlaced). When you have interlaced frames, it means there are 15 pairs of partial frames that replace each other in a second.
