Fly In
Lil Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So they asked me
"Young boy
What you gonna do the second time around?
How you goin' come back"
I tried told them
I come back like 32
I jump back like 33, ugh
Hit me
That's nothin'
This here's Tha Carter II, people
This here's Tha Carter II, people (hey)

They call me Mr. Carter, I kissed the daughter
Of the dead's forehead, I killed the father
Spilled the heart of a mildew hater
I will put them body on chill like glaciers
Gracias, I'm crazy, yes, it's obvious
Going against me is atheist
I got my angels on my shoulder and a quarter of that angel dust
I ain't sniffin', I'm just pitchin', your honor, I ain't snitchin', your honor
Hate bitch niggas, bitches with power
Vacate when that kitchen get hotter
I just sit on the counter, open the cabinet, close the cupboard
Put that jar in the skillet, drop a four in the bubbles
I remember being young, tryin' to hustle my dough
Tryin' to tell the old junkies that my crack ain't soap
Tryin' to tell you fool, you chump, that my MAC ain't broke
You ain't tryin' to see how far that black back lane go
No, call me Pacman you ghosts is blue
I got my Red River rubies and my ocean blue
Jewelry, usually I'm a hooligan for the money
Yeah, I'm eatin' but I got a tapeworm in my tummy, oh
Make harm and I bomb you in public
Hit you with the straight arm, no warning nothin'
Look it's mornin', no yawnin' or nothin'
I ain't sleepin', I'm up tryin' to take a nigga lunch
You gon' make a nigga break a nigga fronts
Then shake a nigga shorts and we takin' what we want
I'm so 5-0-4 you got to kill me here
If you ever lookin' for me bitch I will be here
Cash Money is an army, Navy Seal me here
Lot of niggas ran from it, but I'll still be here
No chrome on the continental I'm so fundamental
Crack the Phil' crack the roof and roll up the windows
And my hood love me, they tell me bring it home
That's why I holla Hollygrove on each and every song
You leapin' at a dog, a dog wit' no bark
Just a bite like an old shark
And all you bitch niggas, no paw
I'm talkin' bout Stunna
He like, "Keep your dough," he got your ho




When the sun shines on the king and sets on the prince
I met the Birdman and I been shinin' ever since, like that

Overall Meaning

The first lines of Lil Wayne's song "Fly In" see him being questioned on his ability to survive in the fast-paced music industry. The opening bars find him boldly stating that he will come back stronger, much like a fighter, reinforcing his hard work ethic and determination. He uses a metaphor likening himself to a basketball player who has been off the court for a couple of years but can still jump back as high as he could in his heyday. Wayne then goes on to declare that this is the "Carter Two," signalling his return to the music game and his reclamation of his throne.


The lyrics of the song also see Lil Wayne flexing his lyrical muscles, showcasing his unparalleled rhyming and wordplay abilities. He introduces himself as "Mr. Carter," kissing the forehead of the daughter of the deceased father whose heart he spilled, metaphorically murdering a critic who didn't appreciate his music. He also boasts about his wealth, prowess, and status in the music industry, stating that even his enemies would have to concede that he is a force to be reckoned with. Through his lyrics, he portrays himself as a dominant figure who deserves respect and admiration, with his wealth and power elevating him above everyone else in the game.


Overall, "Fly In" is a confident and swagger-filled track that paints Lil Wayne as someone who has risen from the ashes and is ready to reclaim his spot as one of the most significant artists of his generation.

This intro and outro made my youth.

He went to the limit with his lyrics and flow on this one.

I am still convinced this album confirmed his maturity as an artist.

Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you wheezy.

Carter II is undeniably one of the best rap albums ever made.

@derryckwhitaker2489

🖤🖤...

@too_sturdy

Carter 1 the original & best.
"Walk in, inside, walk out" better then this. He changed his whole style in Carter 1. The hardcore fans know. The fans jumped on in Carter 2, and the casuals jumped on the bandwagon for Carter 3. The rest is history. Salute from an 82 baby along with Wayne and Juelz.

Btw Check out Santana new song "Whitney" by heatmakerz. Old dipset is back. On repeat.
