Keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me (back to PART 1 for "down").
At around 2:33 on the album version there is a breakdown/jam led by the bass.

There are a lot of gratuitous uses of wah with a crisp high chord that's simply:
- / - ( - = wah pushed forward, / = wah rocked back )
