Overall Meaning

In Lil' Wayne's song "Bring It Back," the rapper presents his unique style to the audience as he transitions through different themes ranging from people with jobs to twerkers. He begins the song by addressing everybody, regardless of their social status, before introducing the fresh track he's about to rap to. The chorus of the track is very catchy, and he encourages the young ladies to put their hands on their knees and bend their rump, put their backs in and back out and do the hump.


As the song progresses, Lil' Wayne boasts about his prowess, comparing himself to the great Tom Petty, and then to 'Cash Money Machiavelli.' He is fully aware of his talent and warns that y'all ain't ready for him. He talks of being born ready, and he is too heavy for those who dare block his path as they will fall under his weight. He promised to shake something for the audience with the promise of making plenty of money, which he'll take as he's straight up cash money.


Later in the song, Lil' Wayne pays tribute to Soulja Slim, raising a moment of silence while stating that fronting around will result in them getting their backs chopped off. He compares himself to a gangster from the '80s or someone who looks like Cita from BET, but acts like Baby, indicating who he is deep within himself. He warns his rivals that they'll need the army if they dare try playing with him as he's ready to strike like the navy. He assures them that he is still Lil' Wayne but with bigger dividends, and they should not be surprised how the ground feels when he gets down. The song ends with Lil' Wayne claiming that he is the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired.
