    That's only the very beginning. For example, the next time he comes back with that same scheme
    paper/hoes/drive/road he uses the same rhyme scheme and same order of topics, it's:

    All I know is strippers. / All they know is poles. PUSSY (again) / soul. Zero to sixty (driving again) And then! he ties in the paper ($) with the rolls (of money) but also pun on Rolls(-Royce)...that bitch got double doors (a safe and a Rolls Royce).

    While not his longest rhymes, many of his best and most lauded sequences are strings of five syllables, like
    Played like an accordion / Jane I'm your Tarzan / Lebron James if he's Jordan etc etc
    Well, in this song it's "Two hoes on my arm / Fur boots when it's warm / Church shoes to play ball / Bird food to a dog / Urkel to Big Carl"

    Then on top of the puns, rhyming, parallel structure, he has this very real life story about shooting himself contrasted with the frivolous pursuit of $ and bitches. Oh and clever one-liners, built on very common phrases (not contrived like other rappers) that also rhyme:

    All my niggas rest in peace, and my enemies rest pleasant.
    So when my niggas creep, catch 'em when they least expect it.
    Mama told me if you run these streets, run these streets correctly.
    Feet don't fail me now; I've never known my feet to test me.

    Correct / fail / test.

    Then a tribute to the officer who rescued him. It's incredible rhyming, puns and wordplay all at the same time that isn't forced. It's natural language, common expressions paired ingeniously. It has the standard brags but also real heartfelt sentiment and story from his life.

    That's why it's his best song. Again, only scratching the surface of the details in the song. Every few lines are at least that dense.

    Not to mention the sick flo in there before the end, which he often doesn't do at all in a song.

                Why?

                Lil Wayne, Drake, Chance the Rapper, Skooly, Rich Homie Quan, 2 Chainz.

                          i think it is impossible to say any 1 song of lil waynes' is his best song ever but put "london roads" in your top tier for sure. the beat. his voice, his flow/flows, the lyrics, the switch up to his fast flow and then into his story telling is all A1 and classic weezy.

                          this part is unmatched... and people say wayne fell off. smh

                          hold up,
                          had to switch the flow up
                          had to pour up
                          roll some more up
                          watch me go up
                          my doors go up
                          when i show up
                          why you show up?
                          pick my bro up
                          pick a O up
                          hit the store up
                          get a soda
                          grab us 4 cups
                          then we slow up
                          ya you know us
                          then we toast cups
                          and we post up
                          don't approach us
                          we got toasters
                          thats my slime, like we ghostbust
                          and we both bust
                          give no fucks
                          take no stuff
                          and take your stuff
                          then ho hunt
                          for some chocha
                          i know a ho
                          who'll rock the boat
                          but i row her
