He's Dead
Lil Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never see your crazy face
Smiling, laughing, screaming my name like that
I never see your crazy face (Mula)
Smiling, laughing, screaming my name like that
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming my name
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming my name

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's

Dead man walkin', through a dead plant garden
Red ants army, Caveman Spartan
Die, come back to life, shaved and corporate
I paved and carved it, made man forfeit
Laid and chalked him, I slaved then bossed it
I don't need flowers around my grave, I need maids and doormen
We not one and the same;
Casper the Friendly, Tunechi Cobain
Ask how I'm livin', I can't complain
Like, it's hot in hell, but it never rain
Shit never sweet, him never changed
I will always be the MF'er Wayne
I been lost conscious, I never regain
Bitches wanna sleep with my remains, Lord

Them Xans got me walkin' 'round like a zombie
I just double parked the hearse by a fire hydrant
They throw flowers on my body, allergic to pollen
Rest in peace to the Cash Money Weezy, gone but not forgotten, no

I never see your crazy face (You don't see me, nigga)
Smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that (You don't see me, nigga, no)
I never see your crazy face (You can't see me, nigga)
Smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that (You can't see me, nigga, no)
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming, my name (You can't see me, nigga, no)
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming, my name (I'm the muthafuckin' ghost)

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
He's dead, he's

Dead man walkin', the weed I'm sparkin'
Stank like corpses, got a young nigga coughin'
I was larger than life, should've got a bigger coffin
Bad bitches in my coffin, suck dick 'til they cough
How long will they mourn me?, I had a Rolls Royce Ghost
Now I'm feelin' like that motherfucka comin' back to haunt me
We are not one and the same,
I fumble my brain, I'm nothin' but strange
I punctured my veins, I'm loving the pain
I'm ugly and vain, now go get that shovel and dump it on Wayne
Throw dirt on my name, picture on a shirt instead of a frame
I'm dead as a doorknob and I got it locked
So fuck every key on your key chain, boy

Them Xans got me walkin' 'round like a zombie
I don't know if I'm comin' or going, Lord, I'm undecided
Throw flowers on my body, yeah allergic to pollen
Rest in peace to the Cash Money Weezy, gone but not forgotten, no

I never see your crazy face (Ohhh)
Smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that (You cant't see me, nigga, no)
I never see your crazy face (You can't see me, nigga)
Smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that (You can't see me, nigga, no, no)
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming, my name (You can't see me, nigga, no, no)
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming, my name (I'm the muthafuckin' ghost)
I never see your crazy face
Smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that
I never see your crazy face
Smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that




I see, smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that
I see, smiling, laughing, screaming, my name like that

Muerto, está muerto, está muerto, está muerto, señor
Está muerto, amigo, ese hombre está muerto allá atrás
Estaba peor que muerto, su cerebro se ha ido

Hombre muerto caminando, a través de un jardín de plantas muertas
Ejército de hormigas rojas,  Caveman Spartan 
Die, vuelve a la vida, afeitado y corporativo 
Lo pavimenté y tallé, hice que el hombre perdiera el


derecho Lo coloqué y lo tizé, lo esclavicé y luego lo mandé No necesito flores alrededor de mi tumba, necesito doncellas y porteros No somos uno y el mismo; 
Casper el Amistoso, Tunechi Cobain
Pregunta cómo estoy viviendo? No puedo quejarme
Como, hace calor en el infierno, pero nunca llueve
Mierda nunca dulce, él nunca cambió
Yo siempre seré el MF'er Wayne
Estuve perdido consciente, nunca recupere Las
perras quieren dormir con mis restos, ley[Puente 1] Los
Xans me hicieron caminar como un zombi
. Acabo de estacionar el coche fúnebre en doble fila junto a una boca de incendios. Tiran 
flores en mi cuerpo, alérgico al polen. 
Descanse en paz con el dinero en efectivo. Weezy
Se fue pero no se olvidó, no

[Verso 2]
Hombre muerto caminando, la hierba que estoy chispeando Apesta
a cadáveres, tengo un joven negro tosiendo 
Yo era más grande que la vida, debería haber tenido un ataúd más grande
Perras malas en mi ataúd, chupan la polla hasta que ellos tos
¿Cuánto tiempo me llorarán?
Tenía un Rolls Royce Ghost.
Ahora me siento como ese hijo de puta que vuelve para perseguirme.
No somos uno y el mismo;
Busco a tientas mi cerebro, no soy nada más que extraño,
me pinché las venas, me encanta el dolor
, soy feo y vanidoso,  ahora ve a buscar esa pala y tírala a Wayne.
Arroja tierra a mi nombre, una foto en una camisa. en lugar de un marco
yo '


[Puente 2] Los
Xans me hicieron caminar como un zombi 
No sé si voy o vengo, Señor, estoy indeciso
Tírame flores al cuerpo, alérgico al polen 
Descansa en paz con el Cash Money Weezy, desaparecido pero no olvidado 

[Hook]
