Lyrics

I got stripes: Adidas

Explanation

Rappers often refer to “stripes” to represent their experience or ability, a reference to the service stripes the US Army awards for every 3 years of service

Wayne has earned his “stripes” in the recording booth and in the streets, much like Adidas shoes have 3 stripes
