Tha Carter gon' be late so I cooked up a tape
The garden's full of snakes so I had to escape
Lil homie gon' be straight, lil homie gon' be straight
And this that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
And I'm sorry for the wait too
I told myself to save yourself cause I can't save you
Fuck it, this that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
I ain't trippin', I got Barbie, I got Drake too
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
Then they come through and set it on my coffee table
Who kept this shit together? Nigga, me, that's who
Who was there when niggas left us? Nigga, me, that's who
Cash Money is an army, I'm a one man army
And if them niggas coming for me, I'm going out like Tony
Now I don't want no problems, I just want my money
Ain't gotta hold no conversation or my luggage
Tell whoever's countin' that I'm on a hundred
Woo, Birdman Jr., more like Ugly Duckling
Takin' over, now I'm takin' over
Think it over? Bitch I'm thinking forward
I'm sippin' lean out a glass, nigga
All I got is Young Money, no more Cash nigga
And this that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
No more am I my brother's keeper, Cain and Abel
Young Money sharp, I'm still eatin', I just chipped my tooth
Tell them niggas no love lost, cause I ain't got shit to lose
I told myself to save yourself cause I can't save you
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
I found the needle in the haystack, put the thread through
I tried to stitch the wound back up but I just bled through
Yeah, it's compensation over conversation
Lord I must got blurry vision, a nigga's got two faces
Lord, this game is a vampire
Blood you gotta protect your neck
It'll suck you dry like raisins, lord
But fuck that, nigga
Gun drawn out, fuck that, nigga, I'ma ball out
The day you met me is the day Hell froze
On the day I left is when it thawed out
I'm still in the buildin', I just had to knock a couple walls down
Had to kick y'all out
Life is a movie
But sometimes a nigga get too tired of watchin' and walk out
Takin' over, Lord I'm takin' over
Dropped the Sorry 4 The Wait until the wait is over
Sippin' lean out a flask, nigga
And all I do is smoke, fuck, and thrash, nigga
And this that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
Fuck these haters, throw your board up if you skate too
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
Then they come through and set it on my coffee table
Tunechi, niggas don't appreciate you
You've been down since day 1, it meant nothin' on day 2
Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow and to say too
But I graduated from that bullshit, now I hate school
And now I'm takin' over, now I'm takin' over
The old me dead and gone, that's who I'm prayin' over
Might have to go back to slangin' yola 'til the wait is over
If so then I got bakin' soda, I got bakin' soda
In the song "Coco," Lil Wayne apologizes for the delay in his album, "Tha Carter," by releasing a mixtape titled "Sorry 4 The Wait 2."

Lil Wayne claims that he is a one-man army and takes pride in being the one who holds the label, Cash Money, together. He is unconcerned with the threats and problems that come his way, and his only focus is on his money. As he takes over the music scene, he understands that there is no longer any need for sibling relationships or sentiments because he has graduated from the past and moved on from it.
In essence, Lil Wayne's message in "Coco" is that he is not concerned about anyone, but his money, and he will do whatever it takes to protect it.
