Brand New
Lil Wayne; T.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See you need to focus man
But my girl ain't got snobby, stuntin' like her Daddy
Vroom on her Yamaha, she ride me like a Kawasaki
I call her little buddy, sometimes I call her shorty
She only wears dresses, she sleep in Ed Harty (ya dig?)
It's young Weezy, the 80s baby
And we can get together make 80 babies
Now the house, brand new, the car brand new
But you're still the same old you
And that's why I love you

Girl, from the moment that I saw you, I knew you were the one
Though, we didn't have a lot of money, we still had so much fun (so much fun)
No, matter where you are you'll always be my superstar
If it wasn't for your love, I don't think I'd have gone this far

(Proud of you)
Baby, you never got brand new
Yo, baby, 'cause you never got brand new

I, remember livin' in the projects
I, remember spendin' welfare checks
That, something you never never forget
How could I abandon you now?
You'll always be a superstar
(You will always be)
No matter where you are
(My heart has never felt this before)

(Proud of you)
Baby, you never got brand new
Yo, baby, you never got brand new

Baby, we came from nothing
And we turned it into something
And we never ever act like,
We're too good, we too bougey for the hood life
Real recognize real, and you know this
Living with me in the streets and the show biz
(Now everybody know your name, and they caught up in the fame)
(You still the same, nobody can keep up with you, yeah)

(Proud of you)
'Cause you never got brand new (all the money)
You never got brand new




(proud of you)
Baby, you never got brand new

Overall Meaning

He starts off by telling her to focus on their relationship because even though they have achieved financial success, it doesn't mean they can't lose what they have. T.I. refers to Tiny as his "little buddy" and speaks about their physical relationship, saying she rides him like a Kawasaki. The song takes a reflective turn as T.I. mentions their past struggles living in the projects, relying on welfare checks. However, he credits their love for one another as the driving force behind his success and never forgetting where they came from.


Overall, the song is a heartfelt tribute to T.I.'s relationship with Tiny and a reminder that no matter how much success they attain, it's important to remain true to themselves and their love for one another.
