Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
G'd up from the feet up.
A-be-see D-E-F
[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
I'm a G to the end the end of the road
But back in the kitchen at the end of the stove
A T looks like we at the end of the O... drop a fo
You sit on 24s and we sip on 24s
Got the Caddy sitting on a pair of Gucci penny-loafs
I get money, fuck wit bitches that give me mo'
Man, you know da game, same shit different hoes yea
We cut the ears and the tail off, Mickey Mouse...
Never been a rat never had him in the house
Call me Captain Kangaroo 'cause I got money in my pouch
And, I don't mean loose change when I say, money in the couch
I'm gettin paid on what I already said
Can't see these niggaz, like to ??? on these niggaz
Got a bitch named, Nina and Nina so slutty
'cause shell do him and every one of his buddies
[Hook:]
We put them drinks down and pick them tools up
And if dude trippin we hit dude up
And you ain't shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
We drop the top down and chunk the duece up
These 84s would make a hatta put his shoes up
And you ain't shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
[Verse 2: Trae]
I'm in the drop, sittin low, 84s lookin dangerous
My swagga got me in da hood lookin like I was famous
My naked wrist look like it got hit by a couple of paintas
I'm gettin money but the fact that I'm gangsta nevea changes
I goy my Locs on waitin on the time to plex
[?] 06
Its ABN until I rest it won't be nothin less
Yes, I'm protected by the neighborhood, I nnever need a vest
I know dem hatas talkin, but they ain't sayin nothin
I hope they stay inside they place ima continue stuntin
My ice tha shit I'm probably at a hundred stacks, and runnin
I guess I'm fly 'cause my doors in da air and my trunk is hummin
I'm still movin slow, my swagga is jus got off da chain
Whether in the club, way in da hood I'm still gon make it rain
Yea, I'm tha truth so please address it when you say my name(Trae)
Ya try to take it to me, ima try to take it to ya brain
[Hook:]
We put them drinks down and put them tools up
And if dude trippin we hit dude up
And you shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
We drop the top down and chunk the duece up
These 84s would make a hatta put his shoes up
And you ain't shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
[Verse 3: Trae]
Its still tha same name new dip, new shoes
50 on da frame so I know I won't loose
Sittin so fly doors up when I cruise
All eyes on me everytime a nigga move
I pop another trunk and show the world I'm screwed up
They say a different color chain make ya put ya jewels up
Say bitch ya betta chill 'cause I beat ya dude up
Put him on da sideline and have his face bruised up, all screwed up
Oh yeah, these diamonds in my mouth show'em I rep tha south
They say a thousand dolla bitch got tha top tuken ova
Up in these streets I'm like a kid 'cause I love to get lost
And keep packin somethin that love to break a hata off
So when it come to this gangsta homey I got it locked
And if I put tha drop on tha block, I'm unable to stop
And when it come to what I do I'm tha numba one spot
They know I represent fo Screw and H.A.W.K. bangin my music top
[Hook:]
We put them drinks down and put them tools up
And if dude trippin we hit dude up
And you shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
We drop the top down and chunk the duece up
These 84s would make a hatta put his shoes up
And you ain't shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
The first line of the lyrics is a metaphorical statement where Lil Wayne compares himself to a bullet, and not the shooter. This implies that someone or something else is the shooter, and Lil Wayne is just being propelled forward with no control of his own. The next line, "G'd up from the feet up" means that Lil Wayne is fully outfitted with gangster clothes and attitude, from head to toe. The last line, "A-be-see D-E-F" is just a reference to the alphabet, or even more specifically, the rundown alphabet from the military or police.
The first verse by Lil Wayne talks about his gangster life, how he makes drugs and sells them on the streets. He talks about making drinks with codeine and being paid for his work, as well as spending his money on good-looking girls who give him more pleasure than the rest. He uses the metaphor of cutting ears and tails off of "Mickey Mouse" to indicate that he gets rid of rats and snitches. He calls himself Captain Kangaroo, which illustrates his wealth and his ability to secure it. The last sentence of the verse refers again to his work as a drug dealer, as he says he is getting paid for what he has already done.
The second verse by Trae further emphasizes his gangster lifestyle, how he looks good in his lowriding car and expensive clothing. He speaks of being a part of ABN, and how he is recognized in his neighborhood as a gangster with or without protection. He mentions that he is aware of haters who talk trash about him but that he continues to move ahead and make money. The following lines are about Trae being a well-known gangster in his city and how people recognize him because of it. He claims that he keeps doing his work without fear, and if someone tries to mess with him, he will retaliate without hesitation.

I'm a G to the end the end of the road
I'm a gangster and will always be one
But back in the kitchen at the end of the stove
But I came from a difficult background
A T looks like we at the end of the O... drop a fo
I see a T in the O so let's add a four (FO)
In a 20 ounce and call it 24s
I put 24-inch rims on a 20-ounce drink and call it 24s
You sit on 24s and we sip on 24s
You have rims but we have 24-ounce drinks
Got the Caddy sitting on a pair of Gucci penny-loafs
I have a Cadillac with Gucci penny loafers
I get money, fuck wit bitches that give me mo'
I make money and mess with women who can make me more
Man, you know da game, same shit different hoes yea
You know the drill, different women but the same old thing
We cut the ears and the tail off, Mickey Mouse...
We cut off the extra stuff, Mickey Mouse style
Never been a rat never had him in the house
I'm not a snitch and never had one around me
Call me Captain Kangaroo 'cause I got money in my pouch
They call me wealthy and prepared like the cartoon character Captain Kangaroo
And, I don't mean loose change when I say, money in the couch
I don't mean nickels and dimes when I say I have money in the couch
I'm gettin paid on what I already said
I make money from what I have already done
Can't see these niggaz, like to ??? on these niggaz
I can't stand these people and like to ignore them

I have a woman named Nina who is very promiscuous
'cause shell do him and every one of his buddies
Because she will have sex with him and all of his friends

I'm in a convertible car, sitting low, with dangerous-looking 84-inch rims
My swagga got me in da hood lookin like I was famous
My confidence and style make people think I'm famous
My naked wrist look like it got hit by a couple of paintas
My bare wrist has lots of diamonds that make it look like it was hit by spray paint
I'm gettin money but the fact that I'm gangsta nevea changes
I'm making money but I'll always be a gangster
I goy my Locs on waitin on the time to plex
I have my sunglasses on and I'm waiting for the time to be confrontational

I'm not sure what this line means
Its ABN until I rest it won't be nothin less
It will always be ABN (Assholes By Nature) until I die
Yes, I'm protected by the neighborhood, I nnever need a vest
I'm protected by the neighborhood and don't need to wear a bulletproof vest
I know dem hatas talkin, but they ain't sayin nothin
I know people are talking negatively about me, but they aren't saying anything important
I hope they stay inside they place ima continue stuntin
I hope they stop bothering me and let me continue to impress others
My ice tha shit I'm probably at a hundred stacks, and runnin
My jewelry is amazing and I probably have 100,000 dollars and am still going
I guess I'm fly 'cause my doors in da air and my trunk is hummin
I guess I'm cool because my car doors can lift and my trunk makes a booming sound
I'm still movin slow, my swagga is jus got off da chain
I'm not in a rush, I just have a lot of confidence
Whether in the club, way in da hood I'm still gon make it rain
Whether I'm in a club or in the hood, I'm always going to make it rain (spend money)
Its still tha same name new dip, new shoes
My name is the same but now I have new clothes and shoes
50 on da frame so I know I won't loose
I have 50 spokes on my rims so I know I won't lose
Sittin so fly doors up when I cruise
I look so cool, my car doors lift up when I drive
All eyes on me everytime a nigga move
Everyone is watching me whenever I do anything
I pop another trunk and show the world I'm screwed up
I show everyone that I'm adhering to the culture of screw music
They say a different color chain make ya put ya jewels up
People think you should put away your jewelry if you wear a different color chain
Say bitch ya betta chill 'cause I beat ya dude up
I beat up the man of the woman who told me to calm down
Put him on da sideline and have his face bruised up, all screwed up
I beat him up and left him sitting on the sidelines with a bruised face
Oh yeah, these diamonds in my mouth show'em I rep tha south
The diamonds on my teeth show that I am representing the South
They say a thousand dolla bitch got tha top tuken ova
People say the girl I'm with has taken control (of me)
Up in these streets I'm like a kid 'cause I love to get lost
In these streets, I act like a kid because I love to wander aimlessly
And keep packin somethin that love to break a hata off
I always carry a weapon that I love to use on people who bother me
So when it come to this gangsta homey I got it locked
I'm the boss when it comes to being a gangster
And if I put tha drop on tha block, I'm unable to stop
If I bring my convertible car to the neighborhood, I can't leave
And when it come to what I do I'm tha numba one spot
When it comes to my music, I'm the best
They know I represent fo Screw and H.A.W.K. bangin my music top
They know I represent for my friends Screw and H.A.W.K. and my music is popular
We put them drinks down and put them tools up
We stop drinking and use our guns instead
And if dude trippin we hit dude up
And if someone is acting up, we confront them
And you shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
You're not cool if you haven't experienced the culture of screw music
We drop the top down and chunk the duece up
We put the convertible top down and throw up the peace sign
These 84s would make a hatta put his shoes up
My 84-inch rims are so impressive they would make someone take off their shoes
And you ain't shit if you ain't never been screwed up [x2]
You're not important if you haven't experienced the culture of screw music
