Yeah
Haha, Drama, I'm back
This what y'all was waiting on?
Dedication 2, bah
I put a couple pounds on since the last go-around
Yeah, I ain't gon' even wait on 'em, I'ma get 'em now
Get 'em (Gangsta Gri-zillz)
My block pumping, and I'm tryna keep that ho pumping (Ill)
If niggas snitching, then I let them niggas hold (G-G-G-Get 'em)
My block pumping, and I'm tryna keep that ho pumping
If niggas snitching, then I let them niggas hold something (Gangsta)
(G-G-Get-G-Get 'em) Gangsta Grillz, you bastards
My block pumping, and I'm tryna keep that ho pumping
If niggas snitching, then I let them niggas hold something
If nigga owe something, need a doctor's note from him
Or his throat from him, these lil niggas? (Pay attention)
Thinking they fresh, get whipped out your clothes, youngin
I got it all, but I'll beat you like you stole something (oh)
My bitch trippin', say I treat her like my old woman
I tell a bitch I'm probably better off with no woman
Yeah, I get that brand new money
I'm the boss, bitch, I'm touching every dollar that's coming
Stop playing, I know what I'm doing, let me get 'em
I hope his kids not with him
Y'all motherfuckers know me, I'm a rider in the side of the south
Got the money in the mattress and the guns in the couch
What up? Putting out cockroaches in the ashtray
It's payday 'til my last day, yeah
Walking that line with a lot on my mind
I get that money, never dropping a dime
I don't hate, never, not on my time
I'll put that little red dot on your mind
Talking that crime, but a lot of 'em lying
I'm caught on the grind, never get off my grind
I'm a pimp to these hoes, not a pimp in my mind, nah
And everybody know I'm sharp when I ride
Hop out that new Ferrari with that little horse on the side, yeah
Zoom-zoom, bitch, ride a nigga broom, witch
Half a ki', wet, stinking up your whole room, bitch
Now, break out the perfume, bitch
And niggas come from off that beach, I'm in that water like a cruise ship
Straight up, tell 'em, I do's this
One pistol, two clips, I aim at lips
Wayne that shit, shit on y'all
Given to you from the God, I am the God (Gangsta Grizillz)
A dedication (yeah)
My nigga, Philant, rest in peace (yeah, yeah)
Weezy Baby, the God
That's right
Fee, I had to
Gangsta Grizillz
Yeah, money on my mind, money-money on my mental
Super-super soaker, wet a nigga like a swimsuit
I think they sipping on that "I Can Fuck With Him" juice
Test me if you wanna, bad man, I knock a limb loose
I ain't never scared, I'm protected everywhere
And if a nigga disrespect me, then he shall be buried there
That's my word, got a urge to hit a nigga and swerve
And them birds in the tree get shot down to my feet
It's me, motherfucker, what's better to see?
And when you greedy like me, ain't nothin' better than beef
See, I would meet each one of you niggas in the street
Then eat, and pick you little bitches out my teeth
Shoutout to the green and red stitches in my tee, nigga
With no Gucci, I'm a double-G, nigga
My brothers, you have sinned
And the God, I am, amen
In "Get A Life", Lil Wayne is touting his own success and focusing on his money-hustling, but he can't help but address the haters that are always lurking in his shadow. The chorus is simple and straightforward, as he tells them all to "Get A Life" and leave him to deal with his own s***. He alludes to the fact that he's always up early grinding to ensure that he can stack his money, but despite his success, others are still trying to bring him down.
In the second verse, Lil Wayne shifts his attention to the ladies in his life. He speaks to a girl who is seemingly faithful, but he reveals that her friends constantly talk smack about him behind her back. He advises her to ditch the negative energy in her life, i.e., her hating friends, and focus on creating a better life for herself. "Get a life" is a common phrase used to tell someone to stop meddling in someone else's affairs and focus on their own happiness.
Overall, the song's message is simple: Get your own life and stay out of others' business. Lil Wayne recognizes that there are always going to be haters, detractors, and naysayers in the world, but he's too busy securing his bag to let them bring him down.
