In what is probably not a coincidence, this section bears similarity to some of Waka Flocka’s best-known work.
In the hook of Waka’s “Hard in the Paint” off of his debut album Flockaveli, he raps:
“I go hard in the muhfuckin paint nigga
Leave you stankin nigga
What the fuck you thinkin nigga”
Or an even closer imitation of Waka’s song “Fist Pump”:
Patient, what the fuck is you thinkin'?
Better yet, what the fuck is you drinkin'?
Additionally, the previous line used the words “plank and” together, making it sound like “planking”, which was fad that consisted of people laying face down in an unusual location.
Which causes Em to say, what the fuck is wrong with people?
