Politics
Lil' Wayne ft. Gudda Gudda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you didnt get drafted by the NBA, but you got drafted to defend your U.S.A
Now you got war on your mind, put you on front line and you will die, die, the American way
[Verse 1 - Gudda Gudda]
So I woke up at the crack of dawn, a lot going through my mind while I stretch and yawn
Its a love-hate thing, but my heart is torn, man, let me just speak about whats going on
Hey, Dear Mr. President, why you got our troops in the war and they fighting over shit thats irrelevant
[Chorus - Lil Wayne]
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, lip injection, lethal injection
Breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
Breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, crime rate, lip injection, lethal injection
Lip injection, lethal injection, breast reduction, police corruption
Your assumption, economical destruction, breast reduction
Police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
[Lil Wayne Scream]
[Verse 2 - Lil Wayne]
What is your fucking problem, Im from the fucking bottom
I got a bunch of problems, and cant nothing solve them
My room is full of demons, I aint afraid of them
I hear them witches screaming, I raise a blade to them
[Chorus - Lil Wayne]
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, lip injection, lethal injection, lip injection
Lethal injection, your assumption, economical destruction, breast reduction, police corruption
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, crime rate, lip injection, lethal injection
Lip injection, lethal injection, breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption
Economical destruction, breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
[Bridge - Lil Wayne]
So you didnt get drafted by the NBA, but you got drafted to defend your U.S.A
Now you got war on your mind, put you on front line and you will die, die, the American way
[Verse 3 - Lil Wayne]
Question, what the fuck is you go do, when that new world come for you
When that new world come for you, revolution is never the solution
Prostitution, drug distribution, war contribution, all for the love of the constitution
Yeah
[Chorus - Lil Wayne & Gudda Gudda]
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, lip injection, lethal injection
While the crime rates spread like an infection, Im trying to duck jail and a lethal injection
Love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, crime rate, lip injection, lethal injection
Lip injection, lethal injection, breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption
Economical destruction, breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, economical destruction
The song "Politics" is a critique of the state of politics and society in the United States. Gudda Gudda questions the government's deployment of troops to fight wars for reasons that he deems irrelevant. He highlights the fact that crime rates are spreading like an infection while he's trying to avoid going to jail or getting a lethal injection.
Lil Wayne's verse addresses social issues (prostitution, drug distribution, and war contribution) that are perpetuated for the love of the constitution. He acknowledges that he has problems, but nothing seems to solve them, and he faces demons in his life.
The song ultimately questions the effectiveness of revolution as a solution to societal problems. The chorus repeats a list of words - love, hate, size, race, grime, grace, lip injection, lethal injection, breast reduction, police corruption, your assumption, and economic destruction. The list of words encompasses an array of societal issues that need to be addressed, but it's unclear if a revolution is the answer.
