Here Heems is making fun of the stereotypical rapper that shows up on remixes to spit a shitty verse simply because he can.

Verse done and it’s always alright though

He’s simply on it because “his friends let him” spit on the track as would a random rapper that wants to boost their popularity and the popularity of their peers by rapping over a hot beat such as the many remixes to Niggas in Paris or just most rap songs in general.

Heems is very self aware of this and makes fun of this by not spitting shitty rhymes but commentating on the shit that random rappers say.

It’s if as long as it’s a hot beat and a remix you don’t have to try too hard. The verse itself is genius, the pure satire is always overlooked.

I’m stupid and shit, but I'ma bout to be rich
