Huh
What?
What?
Let's go, nigga (where you at, Wheezy?)
You liable to catch me speedin' up the six, or beatin' up a chick
Or standin' over a stove, sweatin', heatin' up a brick
We twist the bandanas, and spit at niggas with cannons
We ran in habitats with masks and plastic gats
Stormin' through the house, screamin', "Where's this bastard's crack?"
I flash the MAC in front of your gal and make her tell
Like, "Slut, where's the yay, or I'ma pop one in your grill"
It's Lil Wayne, nigga, blast and bang triggers
Play with my change, then I'm gon' have to bang niggas
I bag the caine quicker, and sprinkle like rain, nigga
Flood the ave quick with the quarters and halves, nigga
If you out, you can find me on the street with the work
If it's a drought, you can find me on the street with the work
Never slip, I empty half a clip deep in your shirt
And put your whole clique deep in the dirt
Smell me?
Who wan' beef with 'em?
Who wan' creep with 'em?
And when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm in the streets with 'em
Who wan' beef with 'em?
Who wan' creep with 'em?
And when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm in the streets with 'em
Look
I'm the youngest Hot Boy on the field with heaters
Let my nine-millimeters kill your peoples
Bust up in your house and put the gun to lil' Renita
Give me the yay, or else I'ma put her in her sneakers
Wow (wow, wow) you can catch me in all black with no smile
Me, Turk, Geezy, and 'Nile, chicka-pow
How come these niggas keep burnin' the world?
And why the hell this nigga Wheezy keep spermin' your girl?
Turnin' the wheel on the orange or teal Bentley drop
Then I'ma put that up and hop in the van and hit your block
Tell your mom to get the cops 'cause y'all gon' need 'em
When you see them bullets that my Glock pop, y'all gon' eat 'em
See this for all my niggas in the pen, I hope for freedom
And this for all my niggas buyin' bricks, I got 'em cheaper
Keep a nigga quiet as a mouse when I come
Wayne number one Hot Boy, hot as the sun, you smell me?
Who wan' beef with 'em?
Who wan' creep with 'em?
And when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm on the streets with 'em
Who wan' beef with 'em?

'Cause when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm on the streets with 'em
Nasty case, nigga run up in your crib, crash the place
Mask the face, automatic attach to waist
You bastards play? Then it get awful and bad
There will be no more walkin' for dad, and it's off with your head
And they gon' either get it right, or they get it at night
And when they spit, it lick his ass twice like twenty damn dice
Henny and ice is what I prefer, but light on the rocks
I pack them clips tight on them Glocks and light up your block
And if there's coke involved, then your throat's involved
I get the toaster and roll up and smoke most of y'all
Me and my nigga Super Sosa, run up in your crib
While your grandma watchin' Oprah, gag her up and rope her
If you wan' grudge, chances slim like Ethiopia
If you want drugs, I got more flavors than Fruitopia
Recognize it's real and nothin' other than that
'Cause one from the MAC'll have blood coverin' your back, huh
Who wan' beef with 'em?
Who wan' creep with 'em?
And when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm in the streets with 'em
Who wan' beef with 'em?
Who wan' creep with 'em?
'Cause when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm on the streets with 'em

Who wan' beef with a nigga? Creep with a nigga?
When it comes down to guns, look, I sleep with them triggers
The lyrics of Lil Wayne's song Beef depict the life of a drug dealer living a fast, dangerous life. The rapper boasts about his ability to speed in his car, beat up women, and cook cocaine. Additionally, he talks about the firearms he owns and how he and his associates have stormed into people's homes in search of drugs. Lil Wayne's lyrics portray a life where violence is commonplace, and he is willing to shoot anyone that poses a threat to him. The hook of the song repeatedly asks who wants beef, who wants to cause trouble with Lil Wayne or his crew. He takes pride in his lifestyle and appears unafraid of the law.
Although the lyrics are controversial, they depict Lil Wayne's struggle to establish himself as a successful rapper, and he finds himself flaunting his wealth, dangerous friends, and criminal activities. The line, "If you out, you can find me on the street with the work, if it's a drought, you can find me on the street with the work," is clear evidence of the rapper's attempt to solidify his position in the rap game.
Overall, Beef exhibits the violence and the dangers associated with the drug trade. Lil Wayne talks about the violence that he has experienced while dealing with others who want to undermine his credibility, which leads him to be even more ruthless. It aids in creating his persona as a gangsta rapper, bringing his listeners into a world of darkness and crime.

People will either do what I want or face my wrath
And when they spit, it lick his ass twice like 20 damn dice
If someone disrespects me, they will face the consequences
Henny and ice is what I prefer, but light on the rocks
I like to drink Hennessy and ice, but not with too much ice

Recognize it's real and nuttin udder than that
Understand that everything I say is the truth
Cause one from the mac'll have blood coverin your back, ha?
If I shoot you with my gun, you will be covered in blood.

It hurts my heart to see the way things went down. Wayne stayed even tho everyone else left and birdman held him against his will. Family issues are never easy.
@Rome6601
Cap
@ShowTymeDollarS850
Which one is it.. Wayne stayed or was held against his will.. when money involved family just a word.. money is the motive.. not family
@herbgotti6028
Right 💯
@herbgotti6028
@$howTyme Dollar$ He stayed when the Hotboys & Mannie left but was held against his will later down the line during the Carter 5 time when he wanted out💯 RESPECTFULLY
@tvmi_1107
Is My music fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@ddbangtannim2270
When this beef happened in 2015, I was always on Wayne's side. He was always about making music and telling his story, and all Birdman was about is money. I'm happy Wayne and Baby squashed their beef and Wayne is doing better noe with his music and Young Money.
@9sssss
Wayne fathered 99% of rappers. He has so many styles they just take a small piece and make a career out of it. Wayne been around like 30 years and still killin it!
@Johnnyboy-bo1cp
You must be very old. He’s a drug addicted rapper, nothing like j.cole
@sibusisoenockcebekhulu9318
this beef changed everything, hip hop was never the same
