That Ain't Me
Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I should never leave hip-hop
Controlled by my two hands they go tick-tock
Around the clock, yes it's my time, my throne
Better know the time of day in any fuckin' time zone
I'm feeling like I'm on top of the rhinestone
Pullin' the ladder from heaven, about to climb home
In this world of numbers I keep my nine on
And I don't go to church because the line long
And the preacher, he be gettin' his shine on
But I know my lord, I am God's own
Back to my hands, tick tick, a time bomb
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
I'll be here cause I won't quit yeah
You can try lock me up
You can try break me down
But I stay strong
It's my throne
Can't stop now
'cause that ain't me
You can try lock me up
You can try break me down
But I stay strong
It's my throne
Can't stop now
'cause that ain't me
Try to stay afloat on my inner tube
When they turn my city into a swimming pool
Before that, it was a living cesspool
We got get on our shit like nats do
Police's be on my tip like hats do
But I stay strong like blacks do
Never saved by the bell in a black school
And I stay in trouble like Zack do
And in this game nobody's on my plateau
Therefore my name remains like a tattoo
Yes I take giant steps in Shaq boots
B-I-R-D man junior or Weezy F Baby
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
I'll be here cause I won't quit yeah
You can try lock me up
You can try break me down
But I stay strong
It's my throne
Can't stop now
'cause that ain't me
You can try lock me up
You can try break me down
But I stay strong
It's my throne
Can't stop now
'cause that ain't me
That ain't me
See I won't stop, that ain't me
I wont quit, that ain't me
No I wont stop, that ain't me
Cause that ain't me
Alright,
Alright alright alright I'm in their conversations
The titles up for grabs I'm into confiscation
Punch, shot or stab now your the doctors patient
Wild like an Arab from the Islamic nation
I get money round the clock, ain't got no time for hating
And these niggas ain't shit like their constipating
I get the coupe with the kit
Watch me lobster red it
Drop the top at the light that's when I be heading
So far ahead of them I feel outdated
But I feel electric like I'm Raiden
Used to play Mortal Kombat when I was a couch potato
Now I'm coming out with faders, no homo
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
Yeah, don't you know I'll be (I'll be)
I'll be here cause I won't quit yeah
You can try lock me up
You can try break me down
But I stay strong
It's my throne
Can't stop now
'cause that ain't me
You can try lock me up
You can try break me down
But I stay strong
It's my throne
Can't stop now
'cause that ain't me
That ain't me
See I won't stop, that ain't me
Oh no I cant stop, that ain't me
Cause I wont quit, no I wont quit,
That ain't me
No that ain't me

Start the song and make it louder
Yeah, I should never leave hip-hop

Controlled by my two hands they go tick-tock
I am in control of my music, and it's always on time
Around the clock, yes it's my time, my throne
I am the king of the rap game and it's my time to shine
Better know the time of day in any fuckin' time zone
I am always aware of what time it is anywhere in the world
I'm feeling like I'm on top of the rhinestone
I feel like I am a top tier rapper
Pullin' the ladder from heaven, about to climb home
I am achieving success and I am on my way to heaven
Mental thoughts are sharper than the pine cone
My mind is very sharp
In this world of numbers I keep my nine on
I am always strapped with a gun for protection
And I don't go to church because the line long
I don't go to church because the lines are too long
And the preacher, he be gettin' his shine on
The preacher is more interested in his own success than in helping others
But I know my lord, I am God's own
I have a strong relationship with God and know that I belong to him
Back to my hands, tick tick, a time bomb
I am still in control of my music and it's about to blow up
Try to stay afloat on my inner tube
I am doing my best to stay afloat in difficult situations
When they turn my city into a swimming pool
When my city is flooded, I have to adapt and survive
Before that, it was a living cesspool
My city was not a pleasant place to live before the floods
We got get on our shit like nats do
We need to work hard and stay focused like gnats do
Police's be on my tip like hats do
The police are always watching me and tracking my movements
But I stay strong like blacks do
I am resilient like black people have been throughout history
Never saved by the bell in a black school
Life is tough and I have never been given an easy way out
And I stay in trouble like Zack do
I get into trouble often, like the character in the TV show Saved by the Bell
And in this game nobody's on my plateau
There is no one on my level in the rap game
Therefore my name remains like a tattoo
My name is always remembered like a tattoo on someone's skin
Yes I take giant steps in Shaq boots
I am making big moves and taking large strides while wearing giant Shaq shoes
B-I-R-D man junior or Weezy F Baby
My alternate names are either Birdman Jr. or Weezy F Baby
Alright,
Just starting another verse
Alright alright alright I'm in their conversations
People are talking about me and including me in their discussions
The titles up for grabs I'm into confiscation
I am working hard to gain success and take control of my opportunities
Punch, shot or stab now your the doctors patient
If you try to harm me, you'll end up in the hospital
Wild like an Arab from the Islamic nation
I am unpredictable and uncontrollable like someone from the Arab world
I get money round the clock, ain't got no time for hating
I am always making money and don't have time to waste on haters
And these niggas ain't shit like their constipating
I don't think highly of my haters
I get the coupe with the kit
I buy an expensive car with all the extras
Watch me lobster red it
I turn heads with my flashy car and its bright red color
Drop the top at the light that's when I be heading
I put the top down on my car when I'm driving at night
So far ahead of them I feel outdated
I am so far ahead of my competition that they feel old-fashioned compared to me
But I feel electric like I'm Raiden
I feel powerful and energized like the character Raiden from Mortal Kombat
Used to play Mortal Kombat when I was a couch potato
I used to spend a lot of time sitting around and playing video games
Now I'm coming out with faders, no homo
Now I am creating music with mixing faders, without being accused of being gay (no homo)
That ain't me
I won't change who I am
See I won't stop, that ain't me
I won't give up and I won't deviate from who I am
I wont quit, that ain't me
I won't give up or fail
No I wont stop, that ain't me
I will never quit or give up
Cause that ain't me
Because I won't change who I am
