Cops is Watchin
Lil' Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, uh huh
David Banner on the beat bitch
Ha ha ha
Young Money, Streets

I'm a east sider rider, whoa kemosabe
Bitches get to stepping like Cole, Gina, Tommy
Pussy is a weapon and my hoes think I'm Simon
And Simon say go and get my motherfucking money
Young mula bitch, tell them hoes, take their clothes off
And I don't hunt birds but I'll shoot you in your Mohawk
Yeah, flow nasty like coleslaw
Call me mister no flaw

Yeah, I sip drank and pop pills til I dose off
Wake up, grab the mic then I go's off
Too G for office, boss of all bosses
Crucify rappers, nail niggas to the crosses
I'm fresh out the slaughterhouse, blood on my apron
We Louisanimals, watch me let the gators in
I'm going on my paper run, a week at the Days Inn
Icing on my fingertips, I be getting cake in

I be getting cake then
Watching for the rats and trying not to get snakebit
It's that punting at your face shit
And if you scared, you better go and see Mase bitch
David Banner on the beat hoe
And I beat the beat up like Dee Bo
I got the game on TiVo
So I guess you can say The Streets Is Watchin'

I don't promise much but I promise you that it'll flow boy
Name Jay but you can call me Millzbury Doughboy
Silence on the nine but the chopper make mo' noise
But if the bitch scream, I'm a pop her, no noise
Bank account top solid, Truck nice and brolic
The rims sticking out like the shoulders on Dwight Howard
You niggas ain't G's you gents and quite coward
But I'll put you higher than flight pilots

I am petrifying, The metal turn to lightning
Burn through your clothes like an ion
I am no american idol, no Simon Cowell
Wack niggas throw in the towel
I'm getting money with the rap, pay me by the vowel
I'm hungry like a pack of wolves so I just howl
Holla, Cash rules everything around me
So I'ma get the money, dolla dolla bills in them hundreds

I be getting cake then
Watching for the rats and trying not to get snakebit
It's that punting at your face shit
And if you scared, you better go and see Mase bitch
David Banner on the beat hoe
And I beat the beat up like Dee Bo
I got the game on TiVo
So I guess you can say The Streets Is Watchin'

Ugh, yo, yo yo,
I'm a bad what? bout to get a mani-ped
I'm the big bad wolf and your granny dead
Even though I'm in Mexico
I rep New York like Plexico
Look, switch my name, now I'm celebrating Hanukkah
Lewinsky bitches, young money Monica
I been hot since hedgehog, Sonic the
So could you pass me the keys to the Tonica
I mean Tonka, That's the truck bitches
Fuck you and fuck all of you fuck bitches
Matter of fact, put some sprinkles on my cupcakes
And get ready to put your dimples in this duct tape

I be getting cake then
Watching for the rats and trying not to get snakebit
It's that punting at your face shit
And if you scared, you better go and see Mase bitch
David Banner on the beat hoe
And I beat the beat up like Dee Bo




I got the game on TiVo
So I guess you can say The Streets Is Watchin'

Overall Meaning

In "Cops Is Watchin," Lil' Wayne, with the help of David Banner on the beat, rhymes about his experiences as a hustler on the streets. The lyrics are rife with references to violence, sex, and money, highlighting the harsh reality of life on the streets. He starts off by proclaiming himself an "east sider rider," and that he's got "bitches gettin' to steppin' like Cole, Gina, Tommy." It's a reference to the popular TV show Martin and how the three characters often get into physical altercations.


He goes on to boast about his prowess with women, stating that "pussy is a weapon," and his hoes think he's like Simon, the game where you have to follow directions. He then announces that he's ready to get his money, commanding his hoes to take off their clothes. This is followed by more rhymes about his ability to handle his business on the streets, including nailing rappers to crosses and bragging about his fresh kill as a butcher.


He raps about his skills on the mic, promising to crucify any rapper who dares to challenge him. He also brags about his bank account, truck, and rims, indicating that he's not just in the game for the love of it. He ends the verse on a note of determination, stating that he's going to get his money no matter what.


The next verse switches to Lil Wayne's fellow Young Money member, Jae Millz. He raps about his own skills as a hustler, proclaiming that he's "hungry like a pack of wolves." He then raps about his ability to handle a gun and his tendency to silence his prey. Millz boasts about his lack of fear, embracing his role as a "bad" guy.


The third and final verse belongs to Lil Wayne again, and he brings the heat. He packs it with references to pop culture and his own skills, rapping about getting a mani-pedi and being the big bad wolf. He also introduces himself as the founder of a new religion, with "cash rules everything around me" as its motto.
