Inside
Lil Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came back around
I came back around
I came back around
The Carter, motherfucker
It's the Carter, man
Right now, we still in the kitchen, man
You checking out them bitches booties, right, I know
Yeah, but let's move on, man
I got plenty more house to show you, man
Plenty more Carter to give you
You know, let's go, man

Now let me show you upstairs
Got the glass house floor to let me know who up there
Look down and you see your reflection
You ain't gotta know who down here, you just know you protected
Hey man, how I don't know you connected
Here's a little morphine, let me see you inject it
That's right, little whoadie, respect this
Understand me or get you mami a death wish
Part one, part two, part three
All the parts of "Godfather," all a part of me
If you look to the wall, you see
A few, gagged up, tied up scared pricks
Got 'em, facing the wall like they was on "Blair Witch"
I ain't, chasin' at all but it get scary 'bout my chips, yeah
And in here, this where I keep the bricks
Acknowledge Lil' Marley in the hallway, he got the clips
Don't shoot 'em, Marley

Yeah, that's my lil' dude Marley, man
He hold me down, you know what I'm talking 'bout?
I'll show you the rest of the house later, man




You wait right here, I'll be back
Carter (Carter, Carter)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Wayne's song Inside speaks of the rapper showing a guest around his mansion while giving glimpses of his life as a famous musician. He starts off by stating that he has come back around, establishing his presence as someone who has been absent but has returned. He goes on to introduce his mansion as the "Carter" and shows the guest around the kitchen, where they both gaze at women's booties. Moving on, he takes the guest upstairs to the glass floor, where they can look down and see their reflection without any knowledge of what's happening outside. Wayne also talks about the morphine injection, which is something he seems to be familiar with. The lyrics suggest that he's a powerful figure and that anyone would be scared to cross him. He mentions an entourage who he keeps gagged up, referencing the movie "Blair Witch" and then explores the rest of his mansion with his fierce little guard dog, Marley.


The lyrics of "Inside" are open to interpretation, but at face value, the song seems to be about Lil Wayne showing a guest around his mansion, possibly a friend or a colleague, and displaying his success as a rapper. The lyrics suggest that he has returned to the game, and he's unapologetic about his success. He shows the guest what he's made of and what he's accomplished, indicating that he's a force to be reckoned with. With references to movies like "The Godfather" and "Blair Witch," it's evident that Wayne has an interest in film and might be drawing inspiration from there.
