They Still Like Me
Lil Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay, okay, okay, mm, mm, mhm
Mm, that's what I'm talking 'bout, man
I killed that shit, man
That right there, it's easy, man
You know what I mean? Give me something else, man, Drama
I'm on fire, man, rock
Watch this, man
Let's do this for Hollygrove
Can't forget Magnolia Projects
Shout to the N.O. (Dramatic, nigga)
DJ Drama, Weezy F. Baby
Dedication 2, let's go (Dramatic)

Yeah, I'm Weezy, motherfucker, what it do? Holla at me
All them niggas tryna hate me, and them bitches tryna have me
I'm a money man, yep, I get it from my daddy, ho
And boy, we can beef like Magnolia and Calliope
Hollygrove my barrio, let that automatic go
Test me when I'm chilling, and I kill you from my patio
Bitch, my shadow look good, I'm just feeling Weezy
Hop in my shit and say goodbye 'cause the ceiling's leaving (Gangsta)
Believe me, they ain't tryna see me
Tell 'em I be the nigga with the burner in the beanie
I'm the fireman, she just call me when she steamin'
I wet her up and put her out and leave the bitch dreamin'
Niggas say they hot, but it's really not seemin'
If these guys bad, then I gotta be a demon
Wayne's gettin' money like Damon and Keenan
Try, take it from me, and I'm aimin' and beamin'
Banging and leavin' stains on the cement
Slide the crackers somethin' so they tame the policemen
Left in a Porsche, came in a carnation
I'm fresh, yeah, the Gucci sweats came with the creases
I'm hot, but I'm cold, I just change with the seasons
Tryna put some cheese on my pieces
If you lookin' for your nigga, I be where the water gets deeper
Huggin' on that money, tryna put it in a sleeper
Yeah, I'm here, who the fuck wanna say somethin'?
Leave your whole head empty like a straight pumpkin
Make no assumptions, I'm hustling
Your girlfriend guzzling when you thought she wasn't
Name still buzzin' even when I'm doin' nothin'
But I'm never doin' nothin', 'cause I'm always gettin' money
It's that simple, jackass, if you don't get it, you're a dummy
And them niggas that diss me ain't nothing but pure pussy
Sure, honey, I done heard what you said
But if a nigga really cared, you'd already be dead
Just a young-ass nigga with some old-ass bread
Yes, I keep them dollars runnin' like them bitches got legs
And my nigga Tez Po been ridin' with me since pegs
And my right wrist is looking like a cracked-open egg




That's white and yellow diamonds, adjust your lighting
I got 'em so mad, but, "Oh, I think they like me" (Gangsta Grizillz)
