702-386-5397 the rejection hotline. This track is contains a specific message over a hand-picked and high amped beat. He seizes the moment to encode more metaphor through clever reference:

"Fourth generation Roper report
Everything I was taught bore resemblance to my thoughts
The truth and design of the Guggenheim rhyme
Where every line is weaponized then applied
Mob sh-t, talk it, acquisition is sick
I don't miss, when I twist, the 5.56"

After the above verse there is a sample of Nas from 2006 listing Canibus alongside 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., and Eminem in the context of rap battling. Then he fires another shot at the state of hip-hop:

"I support a secure change of custody.
Don't trust the beat. Trust me, Canibus the emcee.
Without moving my neck I turn to the left.
Yes I am the best you will learn to respect.
Until your death, Hip-Hop is the body, you are the chest.
I am the vest; we are sworn to protect.
This behavioral bomb rewritable radio songs
"What station is your radio on?"
