Way of Life
Birdman Lil Wayne Lyrics

Look right here, this how we goin' do this
Let's get started and do this the way we planned

Hook up the turn tables, whoof get on the keyboard
Set up the musical instruments so that we can play music

And we goin' run this for you, ya heard?
We will play music for you

Cash Money [Repeat: x4]
Cash Money is our record label

Hey, let me slide in the Benz with the fished-out fins
Let me ride my Mercedes-Benz car with its modified fins

Hit the mall wit my girlfriends dish out ends
Go to the mall with my girlfriends and spend money

Cause you know it ain't tricking if you got it
It's not cheating if you can afford it

Copped baby girl what she desired
I bought my girlfriend what she wanted

It's chump change ma, Marijuana skyler
The money I spent is nothing to me, I smoke marijuana

Know'n what I got up in my styraphone cup, that purple stuff
I have a cup of purple liquid in my styrofoam cup

It was given to me at birth an stuff
I was born with a liking for it

So that's why I cop the Bentley with the leather and the furry cups
That's why I bought a Bentley car with leather seats and cups with fur

Hey, hold on mami them whips on dubs
Wait a minute, my cars have large wheels

Cadillac Truck, 28's, no rubs
My Cadillac truck has 28-inch wheels and they don't rub against the car body

Slide in the Benz, fins, bubble-eyed lens
Get in the Benz car with fins and round bubble-like headlights

Car show in New York, y'all know who wins
At the car show in New York, I always win

It's the Birdman daddy, with the Gucci Prada
I am the Birdman, and I wear Gucci and Prada brands

Slant back Cup Truck, no rims, can't holla
I have a slant-back cup truck with no rims and can't talk about it

It's that Louie Fendi on Ostrich streets
I wear Louis Vuitton and Fendi brands on expensive streets

It's the tailor-made daddy, mami do you love me?
My expensive clothes are tailored to fit me, do you love me?

[Chorus]
The chorus of the song

Baby, I'm a stunna
I am a flashy person

I ain't goin' change it
I will not change my personality

Don't, you, know, it's a way of life?
You should know this is the way I live

Mami, do you want it?
Do you want to be with me?

Cause I'm about to bring it
I am going to show you how I live

Oh baby, can't stop the stun, no, no
I cannot stop being flashy and extravagant

Pop one, pop two with the blue Nike shoes
I wore blue Nike shoes and took illegal drugs

Royal blue jag on 'em 22's
I have a royal blue Jaguar with 22-inch wheels

Slippers, white to breathe, 500 Degreez
I wear white slippers to feel comfortable, it's 500 degrees Fahrenheit

In that Cadillac Truck on 'em 23's
In my Cadillac truck with 23-inch wheels

I'm the boss of the game with the money and fame
I am superior in the industry because of my wealth and fame

All these, naked women that pop Champaign
There are a lot of naked women who are drinking champagne around me

And these, marble floors stay high as Rick James
The marble floors are of high quality, like Rick James' music

If you know my name then you know my game
If you know who I am, then you know my lifestyle

It's Lil' Whoody from the Hot Block where series flow
I am Lil' Whoody from the Hot Block where people rap seriously

Gotta get dough, cha'll won't feel me blow
I need to make money, you won't understand my rap

But, y'all don't hear me though
But, you don't listen to me

Til I'm rolling down my window where my grill is show
Until I roll down my car window and show off my jewelry

And you know I probably pump it through the hood on them 24's
I drive in the neighborhood with my big 24-inch wheels

Word, rims poking out the side of the err
Yes, my rims stick out the side of the tire

Glock, have ya rims poking out the side of your shirt
I have a gun, and my rims are so big that they show through my shirt

I'm a 17 nigga and I ride through the turf
I am only 17 years old, but I drive around the city

Hey, and my pinky glow cause my rings is so,
My pinky finger shines because of my rings

Blingy blingy, yo stop blinking though
My jewelry is so shiny, stop blinking to see it clearly

We smoke stinky stinky dro
We smoke strong marijuana

And we don't cop them incy wincy o's
We don't buy small amounts of drugs

And we don't stop, nah, we blow
We keep going and smoking marijuana

Fuck the people
I don't care what people think

Everywhere we go we smell like ick yo
We smell bad because of the marijuana

Birdman, my Paw so that make me go, fly like an eagle, fasheezy
I am the son of Birdman, so I fly like an eagle

See they think cause I stay English turn
People assume I live in a poor neighborhood

That stunna don't ever OZ to burn
I am always high, never without drugs to smoke

I go in each sto' and ball like a dog
I go to every store and buy whatever I want

Me and my niggs ball like a dog
My friends and I live freely and extravagantly

Cars on my streets, all on the lawn
There are many cars parked on the street and lawn

Ice in my teeth, all on my arm
I have a lot of diamonds in my teeth and on my arm

Tats in my face, my back and my arm
I have tattoos on my face, back, and arm

Yo, there it is, ya lil' low life
That's what it is, you lowlife person

See, I'm a professional, you a rookie
I am an expert, and you are inexperienced

Fuck, a game so serious I could sell a hooker some pussy
I am so serious about my job that I could even convince a prostitute to buy something from me

That's some serious shit
That's important to me

Oh yeah, believe that
You can trust me

Who we rolling with?
Who are we associating with?

We rolling wit Cash Money
We are associated with Cash Money record label

Oh, I forgot about peace, Peace!
Oh, I forgot to mention about peace, Peace!

I mean, piece of pussy, piece of land, piece of property
I meant a piece of sexual pleasure, a piece of land, and a piece of property

Just a mind game
It's just a way of thinking

Piece of mind, ya know
A peaceful and calm state of mind

Piece of something, motherfucker!
I want a piece of something, asshole!
