Cross Me
Lil Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That girl got you too too excited
That money had you too too excited
Them cars had you way out your character
That jewelry got you way out your character
Them girls got you way out your character
This fame got you way out of character
This flow got you way out of character
I showed you love now you way out of character

I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you

I should've known you would cross me
Because I'm on and I'm saucy
And I'm gone and you salty
Steam coming from your head like a coffee
My reality is better than your dreams nigga
My hoe pussy hole is wetter than your dreams nigga
My hoe legs spread wider than your wings nigga
Put your head in a microwave think nigga
You out of character slime you out of character
And me I'm out of patience, sick and tired like Malaria
These hoes like mosquitoes these niggas trying to be hoes
What happened to that boy and I ain't Pusha T though
Supa where the cup at I'm working on my comeback
Girl I'm with got much class but she got a dumb ass
I keep a money bag, a drug bag, and a gun bag
These nigga ain't even shining making the sun mad
Rappers in my lunch bag
Me and Future have a food fight
Bedroom full of new dykes, old green, and new white
That's old money that's new coke
That's Young Money that's 24/7-365
That's Cash Money I'm like who hoe, who hoe, who hoe

I should've known you would cross me (Ya who hoe?)
I should've known you would cross me (I tell 'em kudos)
I should've known you would cross me (I tell 'em adios)
I should've known you would cross me (I'm on my patio)
I should've known you would cross me (Thinking about Hollygrove)
I should've known you would cross me (I tell 'em adios)
I should've known you would cross me (Yeah)
I should've known you would cross me
I was looking in your eyes you ain't built like that
You ain't built like that (I should've know)
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me

They say I ain't a rapper I'm a trapper
I be with the robbers and the killers and the kidnappers
I'll fuck your bitch in your crib, watch the kids after
Still fuck a bitch, fuck the ring, motherfuck a pastor
I don't, I should've known she ain't really love
I should've know she just want to fuck me
I fucked up don't judge me
I got this money and I ain't turning down
This money'll turn your life up but bring your family down
Some of the closest niggas to me they don't come around
'Cause some of the closest niggas to me I'll gun 'em down
I should've known you wouldcross me
I'm from the hood and fuck that talk nigga
Go hard until they off me

I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I should've known you would cross me
I got some niggas that was there that ain't no longer there
I don't care
I don't cry about it




And I barely get sleep anyway
I should've known you would cross me

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Lil Wayne, Future, and Yo Gotti are addressing someone who has changed their character and betrayed their trust. The first verse highlights various things that have influenced this person's behavior, such as a girl, money, cars, jewelry, fame, and a new flow. These things have caused the person to act out of character and abandon the love and loyalty they once had. Lil Wayne reflects on how he should have anticipated this betrayal, as he now recognizes the signs that this person would ultimately "cross" him.


Moving into the next verse, Lil Wayne emphasizes his own success and confidence, suggesting that it was his rise to fame that caused this person's envy and subsequent betrayal. He boasts about his material wealth and the power he holds over others. He acknowledges that he is aware of the disloyalty he has experienced, labeling the person as "out of character" and expressing his own impatience with the situation.

He describes being involved with criminals and engaging in illicit activities, claiming that he understands the dishonesty that can exist in relationships.
