Live From 504
Lil Wayne Lyrics

Yeah
Live from the 504
It's Mr. Crazy Flow, jumping like a bungee, no rope
Even in the dungeon, I glow
Even if it ain't sunny, I glow
If it ain't 'bout money, I go, nowhere, I'm nailed to the floor
And it's going down, it's going down, like there's a whale in the boat
See, you can smell that I smoke, and yep, I sip that lean
You hit me with that combination, it make my eyes bleed
I'm a shark in the water, yep, I swim with the big
So I don't have time to deal with Willie the Squid
L-L-Lily pad niggas, l-l-look at the monster
Y-Y-You don't want to crash, like, "La-La-La Bamba"
See it's me, Ronnie, and Terry and my new drop is berry
Watermelon, plum, just call it "Fruit Punch"
I'm an old rapper getting new bucks
And all you new rappers, you just new lunch (new lunch)
Flow sick, so sick, need a doc, yes
A creature, monster, like the Loch Ness
I gets hotter by the tock, before I sizzle to death
I just tell the clock, "Gimme a sec"
In the middle of the war, where my enemy at?
I'm running this bitch, like Eric Bieniemy back
'Cause e'ery time I hit a track, I'm like an energy pack
The instruments are crying out, "Where the sympathy at?"
Yeah, if you betting money, baby, him'll be back
Whatever legends look like, bitch, I'm finna be that
I walked right in hip-hop, like, "Where my dinner be at?"
I ate that, and I was like, "Where my dinner be at?"
I hate that women lie, so I lie to them back
Got two bitches in my pants, quiet? Neither them that
A lot of bitches want dick, I give a lot of them that
Let's do a pill, I can fuck you for an hour with that
And to the kids, drugs kill, I'm acknowledging that
But when I'm on a drug, I don't have a problem with that
And my niggas got guns the size of toddlers, biatch
And we aiming right at your fucking collar, biatch
Pow
The opening line "Dro fuck with me!" sets the tone for Lil Wayne's high energy and confident flow in "Live From 504." The song is a showcase of Wayne's lyrical prowess, with numerous rhymes and wordplays throughout each verse. As he raps about his success and wealth, Wayne emphasizes the importance of money in his life, calling it the "sail to my boat" that controls where he goes. Despite his success, Wayne remains humble, acknowledging that he still smokes and sips lean, a reference to his well-known drug use.
In the second verse, Wayne contrasts himself with "lilly pad niggas," or those who are content to stay in one place and not strive for greater success. He paints himself as a shark in the water, constantly moving and staying ahead of the competition. He also references the Latin American folk song "La Bamba," warning others not to crash like the ill-fated performer. The final line of the verse further cements Wayne's status as an established rapper, calling out newer artists as "just new lunch" for him.

What makes Wayne so great is if you ask 50 people to name their top 10 Lil Wayne songs, you'll get 50 different answers. He had some mainstream hits but the vast majority of his work was through mixtapes
