Off the Docks
Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watchyou need get it fresh of the docks
It don't stop, (uhuh)
Say bud you talkn money then umm
And these n*ggas hustln backwards
I'm too fast for these fucks
Man, the only time I see em
Is when I'm passn em up
All I need is a gunshot and a watch
I see the finish line
I've seen it plenty times
Them n*ggas been behind
Them n*ggas spittn rhymes
For me it's business time
I walk the thinnest line
Right at the witness line
I'm on the paper chase
The only date marked on my calendar is pay day
And you could never get it Free like AJ
But I could get you more keys than Dre Day
I just gotta call Capito Bergante
I'm tryin to clean up like an edit
And if anything comes in town we let it
And put your life on credit
Fuck the neighborhood watch
As soon as enough money is in my knot
I'm yelln "Who got them keys? "
Like the game is on lock
My aims on, I'm locked
But my eyeballs are gunshots, they pop
When you show me the bread
And I bet I could get a chicken
If you sold me an egg
Have ho's walk the strip
Like they owed me a leg
And it's money over bitches
I ain't thinkin bout Tuesday
Cause anyday could be my doomsday
Big stacks of money in jeans
Fuck with a president
Like I'm marilyn monroe
And there billy goats
I'm rare with the flow
I'm air with the flow
That mean I'm here, there
Everywhere with the flow
