Lil' Wayne's first solo album, Tha Block is Hot (1999), was certified platinum.
His following albums, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), went gold. Tha Carter (2004) brought Lil' Wayne even more success, specifically the hit single Go D.J..
Tha Carter II (2005) and Tha Carter III (2008) were his next studio efforts, with the latter being a runaway success selling over 1 million copies in the first week of release in the United States alone and winning the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. It included the the singles Lollipop, A+Milli and Got+Money.
Lil' Wayne released two albums in 2010; Rebirth, a rock concept album and I Am Not a Human Being, which was released while Carter served time for criminal possession of a weapon.
Tha Carter IV (2011) featured singles 6 Foot 7 Foot, How to Love and She Will.
By August 2012, Carter passed Elvis Presley as the male with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with 109 songs.
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. was born on September 27, 1982, and spent his first few years in the impoverished Hollygrove neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana's 17th Ward. His mother, a cook, gave birth to him when she was 19 years old. His parents divorced when he was two and his father permanently abandoned the family. When CBS interviewer Katie Couric asked why he used the name Wayne instead of his given name, Carter explained that "I dropped the D because I'm a junior and my father is living and he's not in my life and he's never been in my life. So I don't want to be Dwayne, I'd rather be Wayne". Asked if his father knew of this, Carter replied, "He knows now". Carter has said that he considers his deceased stepfather Reginald "Rabbit" McDonald to be his real father. Carter has a tattoo dedicated to McDonald.
Carter was enrolled in the gifted program at Lafayette Elementary School. He later attended Eleanor McMain Secondary School for two years, where he was an honor student and a member of the drama club, playing the Tin Man in the school's production of The Wiz. After matriculating to Marion Abramson Senior High School, Carter dropped out at age 14 to focus on his musical career.
Carter wrote his first rap song at age eight. In the summer of 1991, he met rapper and Cash Money Records co-founder Bryan "Baby" Williams (known currently as Birdman), who mentored him and encouraged his love of hip-hop; Birdman included Carter on several Cash Money tracks, and Carter would often record freestyle raps on Williams' answering machine.
In 1994, at age 12, Carter suffered a near-fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. At the time he said the injury was accidental. Decades later Carter claimed that it was an attempted suicide after he was told by his mother that he would have to end his rap-related associations. Carter credits off-duty police officer Robert Hoobler, who he calls "Uncle Bob", with saving his life by insisting the dying child be driven immediately to hospital in a police car rather than waiting for an ambulance to become available. Other accounts indicate that several officers played a part in deciding on and implementing that course of action.
In 1997, Carter joined the Hot Boys along with rappers Juvenile, B.G., and Turk. At age 14, Carter was the youngest member at the time. Hot Boys' debut album Get It How U Live! was released the same year, followed in 1999 by the group's major-label debut Guerrilla Warfare, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 5 on the Billboard 200. During their career, the Hot Boys had two charting singles, "We on Fire" from Get It How U Live! and "I Need a Hot Girl" from Guerrilla Warfare. Carter was also featured on Juvenile's single "Back That Azz Up", which reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks. Let 'Em Burn, a compilation album of unreleased tracks recorded during 1999 and 2000, came out in 2003, several years after the group disbanded. It reached No. 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 14 on the Billboard 200.
Carter's debut solo album, Tha Block Is Hot, was released when he was 17 and featured significant contributions from the Hot Boys. It debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and was later certified platinum by the RIAA less than two months after its release. The album earned Carter a 1999 Source magazine nomination for "Best New Artist", and also became a Top Ten hit. The lead single was "Tha Block Is Hot". After the release of Tha Block Is Hot, Carter was featured on the single "Bling Bling", with B.G., Juvenile, and Big Tymers. Carter's verse appeared only on the radio version of the song, while on the album version he performed on the chorus.
His second album, Lights Out, was released in 2000, and failed to attain the level of success achieved by his debut but was certified gold by RIAA. Critics noted the lack of coherent narratives in his verses as evidence that he had yet to mature to the level of his fellow Hot Boys. The lead single was "Get Off the Corner", which was noticed for an improvement in its lyrical content and style. The second single, which received less attention, was "Shine" featuring the Hot Boys. Near the release of Lights Out, Carter was featured on the single, "Number One Stunna" with Big Tymers and Juvenile, which peaked at number 24 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart.
Carter's third album, 500 Degreez, was released in 2002. It followed the format of his previous two, with significant contributions from the Hot Boys and Mannie Fresh. While being certified gold like its predecessor, it also failed to match the success of his debut. The title was a reference to the recently estranged Hot Boys member Juvenile's recording, 400 Degreez. The lead single was "Way of Life" which failed to match the success of his previous singles. After the release of 500 Degreez, Carter was featured on the single "Neva Get Enuf" by 3LW.
In the summer of 2004, Carter's fourth studio album, Tha Carter, was released, marking what critics considered advancement in his rapping style and lyrical themes. In addition, the album's cover art featured the debut of Wayne's now-signature dreadlocks. Tha Carter gained Wayne significant recognition, selling 878,000 copies in the United States, while the single "Go DJ" became a Top 5 Hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. After the release of Tha Carter, Lil Wayne was featured in Destiny's Child's single "Soldier" with T.I., which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.
Tha Carter II, the follow-up to the original Tha Carter album, was released in December 2005, this time without production by longtime Cash Money Records producer Mannie Fresh, who had left the label. Tha Carter II sold more than 238,000 copies in its first week of release, debuting at number 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and went on to sell 2,000,000 copies worldwide. The lead single "Fireman" became a hit in the US, peaking at 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Other singles included "Grown Man" with Currensy, "Hustler Musik", and "Shooter" with R&B singer Robin Thicke. Carter also appeared on a remix of Bobby Valentino's "Tell Me", which rose to number 13 on the U.S. R&B Charts. In 2005, Carter was named president of Cash Money, and in the same year he founded Young Money Entertainment as an imprint of Cash Money. However, as of late 2007, Carter reported having stepped down from the management of both labels and had handed management of Young Money over to Cortez Bryant. In 2006, Carter collaborated with Birdman for the album Like Father, Like Son, whose first single "Stuntin' Like My Daddy", reached number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Instead of a follow-up solo album, Carter began to reach his audience through a plethora of mixtapes and guest appearances on a variety of pop and hip hop singles. Of his many mixtapes, Dedication 2 and Da Drought 3 received the most media exposure and critical review. Dedication 2, released in 2006, paired Carter with DJ Drama and contained the acclaimed socially conscious track "Georgia Bush", in which Carter critiqued former US president George W. Bush's response to the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans. Da Drought 3 was released the following year and was available for free legal download. It contained Carter rapping over a variety of beats from recent hits by other musicians. A number of prominent hip hop magazines such as XXL and Vibe covered the mixtape. Rolling Stone magazine considered the mixtapes Da Drought 3 and The Drought Is Over 2 "among the best albums of 2007". At the end of 2007, an MTV poll selected Lil Wayne as "Hottest MC in the Game", The New Yorker magazine ranked him "Rapper of the Year", and GQ magazine named him "Workaholic of the Year". In 2008 he was named "Best MC" by Rolling Stone.
Despite no album release for two years, Carter appeared in numerous singles as a featured performer, including "Gimme That" by Chris Brown, "Make It Rain" by Fat Joe, "You" by Lloyd, and "We Takin' Over" by DJ Khaled (also featuring Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, and Birdman), "Duffle Bag Boy" by Playaz Circle, "Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)" by Wyclef Jean (also featuring Akon), and the remix to "I'm So Hood" by DJ Khaled (also featuring T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Fat Joe, Birdman, and Rick Ross). All these singles charted within the top 20 spots on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Rap Tracks, and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. On Birdman's 2007 album, 5 * Stunna, Carter appeared on the singles "100 Million" and "I Run This" among several other tracks. Carter also appeared on tracks from albums Getback by Little Brother, American Gangster by Jay-Z, and Graduation by Kanye West and Insomniac by Enrique Iglesias. "Make it Rain", a Scott Storch production that peaked at number 13 on the Hot 100 and number two on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for 2008.
Tha Carter III was originally scheduled to be released in 2007, but it was delayed after several recordings were leaked and distributed through mixtapes, including The Drought Is Over Pt. 2 and The Drought Is Over Pt. 4. Lil Wayne initially planned to release The Leak, a separate album with leaked songs and four additional tracks, on December 18, 2007, with Tha Carter III delayed to March 18, 2008. Instead, The Leak became an EP with five songs and was released digitally on December 25, 2007.
Tha Carter III was released on June 10, 2008, with first-week sales of over 1 million copies, the first to do so since 50 Cent's The Massacre (2005). The album's first single "Lollipop", featuring Static Major, became the Carter's most successful song at the time, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming his first top 10 single as a solo artist and his first number one on the chart. The third single "Got Money", featuring T-Pain, peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 100. Tha Carter III went on to win four Grammy Awards, including best rap album and best rap song, which he won for "Lollipop". On July 14, 2008, the Recording Industry Association of America certified Tha Carter III two times platinum.
Carter also appeared on R&B singles "Girls Around the World" by Lloyd, "Love In This Club, Part II" by Usher, "Official Girl" by Cassie, "I'm So Paid" by Akon, "Turnin' Me On" by Keri Hilson, and "Can't Believe It" by T-Pain; rap singles "My Life" by The Game, "Shawty Say" by David Banner, "Swagga Like Us" by T.I., "Cutty Buddy" by Mike Jones, All My Life (In the Ghetto) by Jay Rock and the remix to "Certified" by Glasses Malone; and pop single "Let It Rock" by new Cash Money artist Kevin Rudolf.
In 2008, Carter performed at the Voodoo Experience in October in New Orleans, which was described by Jonathan Cohen of Billboard as his biggest hometown headlining set of his career. He also performed at the Virgin Mobile Music Fest with Kanye West, where they performed the remix of "Lollipop" and lip-synced to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". Lil Wayne also performed at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards with Kid Rock ("All Summer Long"), Leona Lewis ("DontGetIt (Misunderstood)") and T-Pain ("Got Money") and performed "Lollipop" and "Got Money" on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. He later performed at the homecoming rally at Vanderbilt University and the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards, where he received 12 nominations. He won eight awards at the BET Hip Hop Awards, one of which included the "MVP" title. After M.I.A. dropped out of performing on the I Am Music Tour due to her pregnancy, Jay-Z performed "Mr. Carter" with Lil Wayne at select shows.
Following Tha Carter III's achievement of selling over 3 million copies, becoming 2008's best-selling record, Carter re-signed with Cash Money Records for a multi-album deal. On November 11, 2008, Carter became the first hip hop act to perform at the Country Music Association Awards, playing "All Summer Long" alongside Kid Rock, in which Carter inaudibly strummed guitar strings alongside the guitarist in Kid Rock's band. Shortly after, Wayne was nominated for eight Grammys – the most for any artist nominated that year. He was then named the first MTV Man of the Year at the end of 2008. He won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance for "A Milli", Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for his appearance in T.I.'s single "Swagga Like Us", and Best Rap Song for "Lollipop". Tha Carter III won the award for Best Rap Album. MTV News listed Carter number two on their 2009 list of the Hottest MCs In The Game.
In September 2009, Carter was profiled in an episode of VH1's Behind the Music and was a presenter of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. In film, Carter produced and composed music for and starred in the direct-to-video film Hurricane Season. A documentary of Carter, titled The Carter, was released at the Sundance Film Festival.
On December 23, 2009, Carter released a collaboration album with Young Money, We Are Young Money, with its lead single being "Every Girl". The second single was "BedRock", featuring Lloyd, with the third being "Roger That". On May 24, 2010, the album was certified gold by the RIAA with over 500,000 copies sold. Carter is featured on the song, "Revolver", with Madonna for her greatest hits album, Celebration (2009). He was also featured on the Weezer song, "Can't Stop Partying", on Raditude (2009). In late 2008, Carter announced plans to reissue Tha Carter III with leftover recordings, and was to be titled Rebirth, originally scheduled to be released on April 7, 2009, before being delayed several times. Rebirth instead became his sixth solo album, released on February 2, 2010.
Originally thought to be an EP, Carter released his tenth album, I Am Not a Human Being, on his 28th birthday, September 27, 2010. The album has sold over 953,000 copies in the U.S. and spawned successful single "Right Above It", which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Tha Carter IV was later delayed into 2011, after Lil Wayne began recording from scratch after his release from prison. He described his first song since his release as "a 2010 version of A Milli on steroids". The album's lead single, "6 Foot 7 Foot" featuring Cory Gunz, was released on December 15, 2010, and made available for digital download on iTunes on December 16, 2010. The song is produced by Bangladesh, who also produced "A Milli".
On March 8, 2011, Carter released another song, "We Back Soon", produced by StreetRunner, though it was not included on the official track listing of Tha Carter IV. The second single, "John", was released on March 24, 2011, which features Rick Ross and is produced by Polow Da Don. The album's artwork was unveiled on April 20, 2011. The album was originally scheduled to be released on May 16, 2011, but Mack Maine had confirmed its delay until June 21. On May 26, 2011, the third single, "How to Love", was released. A song called "Dear Anne (Stan Part 2)", that was cut from Tha Carter III was released in June.
In preparation for Tha Carter IV, Carter released a mixtape, Sorry 4 the Wait, with all the beats coming from other artist's songs, similar to his mixtape No Ceilings. Tha Carter IV debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 964,000 copies, making it Carter's third chart-topping album of his career. On January 8, 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan was elected the seventh artist (second male artist) all-time best-selling tracks digital with 36,788,000 million to the end of 2011.
After numerous delays, I Am Not a Human Being II was released on March 26, 2013, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 selling 217,000 copies in its first week; “”My Homies Still", "Love Me", and "No Worries" were released as singles prior to its release. The album was met with generally mixed reviews, with most critics noticing the declining quality of his releases. Carter toured North America with 2 Chainz and T.I. on the second America's Most Wanted Festival. On May 3, 2013, Pepsi dropped Carter, who was a spokesperson for Mountain Dew, due to offensive lyrics about civil rights icon Emmett Till. On September 1, 2013, Carter released the fifth instalment of the "Dedication" mixtape series, with Dedication 5. The mixtape featured 29 tracks, with guest appearances from The Weeknd, Chance The Rapper, Jae Millz, Birdman, T.I., Vado, Kidd Kidd, and 2 Chainz among other members of Young Money.
An expected album release in 2014 failed to materialize amid disagreements between Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records. The dispute was exacerbated by the appearance in 2015 of the mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait 2. Lil Wayne then joined the music-streaming service TIDAL, through which he released the mixtape Free Weezy Album. It was not until 2018, after the artist and Cash Money Records parted ways, that the long-anticipated Tha Carter V finally appeared, to generally favourable reviews and with his usual commercial appeal. Funeral (2020) was Lil Wayne’s fifth album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. In 2020 he also pleaded guilty to illegally taking a handgun and ammunition on a private plane. He was expected to receive up to 10 years in prison, but, shortly before his sentencing in January 2021, he was pardoned by then President Donald Trump.

Let's go, let's go
They can't fuck with me now
Huh? Fuck with me now
No, they can't fuck with me now
Can't fuck with me now
Let's go
Magnificent nigga, lot of ice around my neck, and freezin' the arm
And if a nigga decide to test, their chest get completely took off
And if you wonder who the fuck ?
We be the squad. It's so serious like
It's like ain't nothin' but we gotta squab
On the block everyday sellin' rocks and shit
Choppin' bricks, give the damn cops a dick
We cop a whip and drop a brick, that's how we do it
Weed, liquor, money, and guns how we do it
Freak bitch to swallow cum like fluid
Who it be? Through his feet, Dubbs
Ain't nothin' sweet cause I can't keep trust
Lil' nigga, worth well over a mill, nigga
Real nigga, come around and show up where you live, nigga
Pullin' out the K's, nigga ? and all
Wayne 'bout to damage your home
Nigga 'bout to go to see the man in the stars
Hoppin' out the van with bandanas and all
Cannons went off
News cameras takin' pictures of your family when your avenue's gone
Damn, it's a shame how the bullets slammed in your brain
How the ice slammed the pain, rammin' your dame
That's because she ran into the game
Nigga, stop playin' with Lil Wayne
Come on!
It ain't a game, nigga, I don't know who told you it was
I put holes in your mug if you're holdin' a grudge
Try to take 'em when you get the gun and load
And the slug check ya low when I bust
Come to show you no love
Uh, fuck with me now, they can't fuck with me now

Stop playin' when ya get it understood
Cause I know if you know what's good for ya
Come around your hood for ya
You don't know me, I kill everyone who show love
You have them motherfuckers lookin' all up in the woods for ya

Runnin' with them cats that be clappin' the plastic
Nigga put a cap in your asses
Catch me on the av with the crack and a 'matic
Hopin' that the law don't pass me, stash it
First of the month, just snatched me a package
Bag it, 'bout to get this motherfucker crackin'
If a nigga think about jackin', please believe
I be clip-slappin', click-clackin'
Pull the bitch back and run up on his parents
Kidnap for his snacks, and then whack him
Shit get drastic
That's why I try to stay as fars away from beef as I could
Grab me a freak to eats on my wood
Transport coke from each of my hoods
Wheezy Whee, CMB's in my blood
In the streets seventeen's where I'm from
And I ain't got no feelins for none of these womens
Really, though, fetticheese is my love

In the song “F**k with Me Now,” Lil Wayne asserts his dominance and warns anyone against crossing him. He begins the song by introducing himself as “Weezy, the Don” and making it clear that he is a powerful and wealthy figure, draped in ice and with a squad to back him up. He boasts that anyone who tries to test him will end up with their chest “completely took off.” Wayne then goes on to paint a vivid picture of his life on the streets, selling drugs and always keeping a gun close. He threatens anyone who dares to cross him and warns them that they will have everyone “lookin' all up in the woods for ya.”
Throughout the song, Lil Wayne is assertive, aggressive, and unapologetic. He makes it clear that he is not to be messed with, and anyone who tries to cross him will face dire consequences. The lyrics are filled with violence, drugs, and sexually explicit imagery and are a quintessential example of gangsta rap. While the message of the song may be controversial, there is no doubt that Lil Wayne delivers it with intensity and conviction.

We are a united group, and our determination is intense
It's like ain't nothin' but we gotta squab
We constantly face conflict, but we rise above it
On the block everyday sellin' rocks and shit
We are present on the streets daily, selling illegal substances
Choppin' bricks, give the damn cops a dick
We break down large quantities of drugs, and we disrespect the police
We cop a whip and drop a brick, that's how we do it
We buy a car and distribute drugs, that's our way
Weed, liquor, money, and guns how we do it
We indulge in marijuana, alcohol, money, and firearms. That's our lifestyle
Freak bitch to swallow cum like fluid
I have a promiscuous woman who performs oral sex with great ease
Who it be? Through his feet, Dubbs
I am the one they refer to as Dubbs, maneuvering nimbly
Ain't nothin' sweet cause I can't keep trust
Nothing is sentimental to me because I can't maintain trust
Lil' nigga, worth well over a mill, nigga
Despite my youth, I possess substantial wealth
Real nigga, come around and show up where you live, nigga
I am an authentic individual who is unafraid to confront you in your own territory
Pullin' out the K's, nigga ? and all
I am brandishing Kalashnikov rifles, fully loaded
Wayne 'bout to damage your home
I am about to cause destruction and chaos in your vicinity
Nigga 'bout to go to see the man in the stars
I am about to engage in a violent altercation that could potentially lead to death
Hoppin' out the van with bandanas and all
I am swiftly exiting the vehicle, wearing bandanas to conceal my identity
Cannons went off
Guns have been fired
News cameras takin' pictures of your family when your avenue's gone
The media captures images of your loved ones grieving after your demise
Damn, it's a shame how the bullets slammed in your brain
It's unfortunate how the projectiles penetrated your skull
How the ice slammed the pain, rammin' your dame
My jewelry intensifies the emotional and physical suffering I inflict on your significant other
That's because she ran into the game
She involved herself in a dangerous lifestyle
Nigga, stop playin' with Lil Wayne
Do not underestimate or toy with Lil Wayne
It ain't a game, nigga, I don't know who told you it was
This is not a mere game; I don't know who misled you
I put holes in your mug if you're holdin' a grudge
I will shoot you and leave bullet holes in your face if you bear ill will towards me
Try to take 'em when you get the gun and load
Attempt to confront me when you have armed yourself
And the slug check ya low when I bust
I will aim low and shoot to hit you with precision
Come to show you no love
I have no affection or mercy for you
Fuck with me now, they can't fuck with me now
Challenge me now, no one can compete with me
Stop playin' when ya get it understood
Cease pretending once you fully comprehend
Cause I know if you know what's good for ya
Because I am certain that if you are aware of the consequences
Come around your hood for ya
I will come to your neighborhood and confront you
You don't know me, I kill everyone who show love
You are unfamiliar with me; I harm anyone who displays affection
You have them motherfuckers lookin' all up in the woods for ya
Your actions have caused search parties to comb through forests in search of you
Iceberg shorty dammit, pants is saggin', forty magnum
I am a young man with a tough demeanor, wearing low-hanging pants and carrying a .40 caliber gun
Comin' out the club on Bacardi's, staggerin'
Exiting the nightclub while intoxicated on Bacardi rum, stumbling
Ten in the Ferrari wagon, braggin'
Traveling in a Ferrari station wagon, boasting about my extravagant possessions
Oh, what's happenin'?
What is occurring or transpiring?
? 'round the court cause some ex just looked at me
Causing a commotion around the basketball court because someone from my past glanced in my direction
Runnin' with them cats that be clappin' the plastic
Associating with individuals who are quick to use firearms
Nigga put a cap in your asses
Someone will shoot you multiple times
Catch me on the av with the crack and a 'matic
You will find me on the avenue with both cocaine and an automatic weapon
Hopin' that the law don't pass me, stash it
Praying that the police do not notice or stop me, hiding the contraband
First of the month, just snatched me a package
At the beginning of the month, I acquired a substantial amount of drugs
Bag it, 'bout to get this motherfucker crackin'
Prepare the drugs for distribution, as I am about to commence my illegal activities
If a nigga think about jackin', please believe
If someone contemplates robbing me, rest assured
I be clip-slappin', click-clackin'
I will swiftly strike them with a loaded magazine, making a clicking sound
Pull the bitch back and run up on his parents
Withdraw the firearm and confront their parents
Kidnap for his snacks, and then whack him
Abduct him for ransom, and subsequently kill him
Shit get drastic
Situations become extremely intense and severe
That's why I try to stay as fars away from beef as I could
That is why I endeavor to distance myself from conflicts
Grab me a freak to eats on my wood
I seek out promiscuous women to engage in sexual activities with me
Transport coke from each of my hoods
I am involved in the distribution of cocaine from various neighborhoods
Wheezy Whee, CMB's in my blood
Wheezy Whee, Cash Money Billionaires is ingrained in my nature and identity
In the streets seventeen's where I'm from
I am from the streets, representing my neighborhood at the age of seventeen
And I ain't got no feelins for none of these womens
I have no emotional attachment or affection for any of these women
Really, though, fetticheese is my love
To be honest, notoriety and money are my true passions
You know the streets made me
The environment of the streets has influenced and shaped my character
And I don't give a damn if you hate me
I do not care if you despise or dislike me
Nigga better be S-Q-A-D
You better be part of the squad, representing your crew
Until the bigger man do take me
Until someone more powerful and skilled defeats or eliminates me
It's too dark for ya's
The situation is too intense and dangerous for you to handle
I ain't got no love for ya's
I have no affection or kindness towards you
Let gunshots smoked ya's
Allow the sounds of gunfire to intimidate and threaten you
Who fuck with us?
Who dares to challenge or oppose our group?
Weed, liquor done corrupted us
The consumption of marijuana and alcohol has negatively impacted us
Wet a nigga like umbrellas
We will shoot someone repeatedly, as if they were drenched like an umbrella
Take the woman out a man; stomach out a man
We will plunder a man's partner and severely injure him
Pump and bust, the guts comin' out a man
Using firearms to shoot and kill someone, resulting in their organs spilling out
Runnin' out the Hummer with guns in each palm
Fleeing from a military-style SUV while gripping guns in both hands
If the motherfucker sleep, call him come get it
If the target is unaware or inactive, notify them to approach and receive punishment
Niggas be kiddin', me awake, deal away
Others may be joking or pretending, but I am alert and ready to confront and resolve conflicts
Gun-spray, bullets damn near took off your son face
A barrage of gunfire, the bullets narrowly missed severing your son's face
Oh, shit, niggas on that whole shit
Oh, aha! Individuals are participating in that type of behavior
Fours spit so quick like that lil' nigga ain't got no sense
I fire multiple shots rapidly, as if the young man lacks intelligence
Slow this shit down, let me get back down to reality:
Lower the tempo, allow me to return to the real world
I cause fatalities for any technicality
I am responsible for causing deaths due to any minor detail or technicality
Wipe off your family randomly, ya understand?
I will wipe out your family in a haphazard manner, do you comprehend?
It ain't no motherfuckin' game, and I ain't fuckin' playin'
This is not a game, and I am deadly serious
Can't fuck with me now, it's not a game, nigga
You cannot compete with me now, this is not a game
Come on!
Let's go!
