Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In these lyrics, Lil Wayne is showcasing his prowess as a rapper and his ability to flow with ease over a beat. He starts off by introducing himself as "shorty moutha" and asserts his dominance over his rivals by stating that he's riding with a half a brick, implying that he has a lot of drugs in his possession. He then threatens his enemies by saying that he'll punch them in the nose and split their back, leaving no room for doubt that he's not one to mess with.
Lil Wayne then goes on to boast about his success with women, stating that he toates fat sacks (meaning he carries large amounts of drugs) and slim dimes (meaning he has attractive, desirable women by his side). He continues to emphasize his superiority as an artist by asserting that his flow is one-of-a-kind, and that his rivals should stop trying to copy him. He references Ludacris' line "get up off my nuts" to further emphasize that he's tired of people trying to ride his coattails.
