When Lil B titled his last digital label released mixtape I'm Gay, he received several death threats. Although he is heterosexual, he says the title is a message of support to the LGBT community. Referring to the alternative definition of gay, he says he is gay because he is happy. Following the death threats, he added "I'm Happy" in parenthesis to the album's title. I'm Gay received positive reviews with many fans commenting on the album's wide variety of positive messages and noting the unique beats and lyrical styles not common to mainstream hip hop. He raps about many controversial issues including race relations, poverty, humanity, and the justice system. The album also, according to many fans, shows the "true" side of Lil B. It entered the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart at #56 and the Heatseekers Albums chart at #20 for the week of July 16, 2011. It is for sale on iTunes but Lil B also uploaded it to the Internet for free, posting a link to it on Twitter and Facebook saying, "for all my fans who don't have $10 to buy my album, here it is for free."
Lil B typically releases at least one mixtape every month; so far in 2012 he has released 13 mixtapes - 4 in July alone. One of those released in July was the massive 848-song, nearly 5GB collection of Based Freestyles, which is his largest release to date. In 2013, hip-hop listeners voted Lil B as the greatest rapper of all time.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
What you gon' do after the game today?

Cod Well Pope, your bitch deepthroats
Jumping out the gym bitch and
I don't need a rope
Twenty-five bitches and they wanna
Fuck the pope
They call me Lil B and Cod Well Pope
Your bitch sucked my dick
I give a fuck if she was broke
Came in the game with her notes
Came in the game with the pope i dress up
I fuck your bitch and then I gots to go
Your bitch praise to me
She told me I'm the pope
I said "Nah bitch, I'm Cod Well Pope"
Fuck your bitch like that
Then I fuck your bitch like this
Came in the game paying rent
And then I'm out that bitch
Told that hoe run, she better fuckin' roll
Bitch 'cause I'm Cod Well Pope
Your bitch wanna fuck the pope
And she suck me
Twenty-five bitches on my dick, I'm not lucky
That's just my lifestyle
I'm thanking God forever
Thank you BasedGod, give me your sweater
Thank you, that's real thank you BasedGod

Cod Well Pope, Cod Well Pope
Cod Well Pope, Cod Well Pope
Cod Well Pope, your bitch deepthroats
The lyrics to Lil B's "Cod Well Pope" delve into themes of power, desire, and irreverence. The chorus repeats the provocative question, "What you gon' do after the game today? Are you gonna fuck bitches?" This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, hinting at a sense of indulgence and hedonism associated with post-game activities.
The repeated refrain "Cod Well Pope" seems to be a play on words, combining the idea of living well ("living like a king") with the concept of a religious figure (the Pope). This juxtaposition of luxury and spirituality adds a layer of irony to the lyrics, suggesting a blurring of boundaries between the sacred and the profane.
The verses paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle of excess and pleasure, with Lil B boasting about his sexual conquests and the adoration he receives from women. The imagery of "jumping out the gym" and having "twenty-five bitches" wanting to "fuck the pope" exaggerates his swagger and confidence, highlighting his status as a charismatic figure in the rap game.
Overall, "Cod Well Pope" can be interpreted as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on fame, lust, and self-aggrandizement. Lil B's brash delivery and playful wordplay create a surreal and larger-than-life persona, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The song challenges traditional notions of morality and respectability, instead celebrating a rebellious and carefree attitude towards life and pleasure.
