He picks the perfect repeatable phrases. He’s skipping. “Gotta model / with vitalogi / she got a condo / out in Cabo” hahahahaha wow. The rhyme scheme was nuts. There’s so much going on here. “Hickory dickory dock / VVS all in my clock.” He went there!! I like this song. The energy from the beginning is back".[5]
