Let It Rock
Lil' Wayne Ft. Kevin Rudolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time and you do your crime
Well you made your bed, I'm in mine
Because when I arrive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Now the son's disgraced
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world to the world
And you take your time and you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours, I got mine
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Yeah! Wayne's world
Planet Rock, panties drop
And the tops and she gonna rock 'til the camera stop
And I sing about angels like Angela (rock) and Pamela (rock)
And Samantha (rock) and Amanda and Tamara
I'm in here up like bitch what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can fuck you up, I can fuck you down
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
And the jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big ass rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground, Weezy
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Just let it rock
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
I'm back like I forgot something, I'm something
Rollin' Rock rubbing rap running
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
Like Wayne the personal trainer
My aim is perfect I'll fuck ya, period, like the reminder
I wish I could be, as cruel as you
And I wish I could say, the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie, no not this time
In the song Let It Rock by Lil' Wayne featuring Kevin Rudolf, the first verse expresses the idea of accountability for one’s own actions. The lyrics suggest that there is no excuse for living a lie or committing a crime. The lines “So you pray to God to justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie” implies that some people pray to God to justify their actions, which hide behind a veil of lies. The chorus, “Because when I arrive, I bring the fire, make you come alive, I can take you higher what this is, forgot? I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock” suggests that the artist is a force to be reckoned with, who can inspire people to live life to the fullest and let go of their inhibitions. The chorus aims to remind listeners to be fearless and live life to the beat of their own drum.
The second verse of the song is a story about a father and son relationship. The son appears to be disgraced, but the lyrics imply that this might be due to the father putting too much emphasis on chasing the dollar. The son is portrayed as an outcast and rebels against the world, as evidenced by the line “So he stuck his middle finger to the world, to the world, to the world.” It is a classic story about a person breaking free from the expectations of others to live life how they want to. The final verse of the song is about Lil' Wayne's personal accomplishments and fame. He mentions his ability to “fix” people up and how he can go anywhere since he is a wealthy and famous rapper. In conclusion, Let It Rock is an anthem that encourages people to live life their way and be fearless.

A Sensory Superpower
As it turns out, getting chills from music is not as common as you might think. Researchers from USC released a study that suggests that only about 50 percent of people feel things like shivers, a lump in their throat, and goosebumps when they listen to music. What's more, those people might have very different brains than those who don't experience those feelings.
First, they gathered 20 people and had them listen to a selection of their favorite songs. Whenever they felt a chill, they pressed a button. All 20 were then given MRI scans — and the 10 that reported reactions were obvious standouts. Their brains turned out to have a much higher volume of fibers connecting their auditory cortex to the areas that process emotion.
More fibers mean that those two areas of the brain can communicate much more effectively. It also means that, because their emotional processing centers are beefier, those people are more able to experience extreme emotions.
A Feeling of Frisson
This study might shed a light on the causes of the phenomenon, but it's been well documented for years. Actually, it even has a name. The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and it's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since it was first described.
That's because even if we know the actual mechanism that causes frisson — a close connection to the emotional processing center — we don't know what purpose it could serve us. But other studies have suggested some potential benefits of this kind of behavior.
One report from 2007 found that individuals who experience frisson are more open to new experiences than others, and other studies described higher levels of creativity and intellectual curiosity. In other words, the appreciation of beauty is central to what makes us human, and frisson is just a super-charged version of that appreciation.
