Told Y'all
Lil Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake a nigga up in his bed when he sleep
Tie the nigga up from his head to his feet
Then I light the nigga up from his head to his feet
Put his body in the water and his head on the beach
Light another blunt to just save me the grief
I dont give a fuck i was made for the beef
I dont give a fuck im straight from the streets
But im crooked as a bitch bitch wave to the thief
By to the bad guy hi to the good dope
Why would the bad guy try and get smoked
Lie and get smoke, try for a nigga tho?, lie for a nigga tho', die for a nigga tho?
Why would a nigga go to New Orleans this is Katrina land
The president flew over and he ain?t even land
We aint even mad we aint even playin
It touch take season in my region and you aint leavin
Until we eatin on my piece and I want my peeps to get they piece
And they want they peeps to get they piece
And until then tell ya peeps no peace ima beast and i theast every beat i see
And i freak every mix cd i leak
I need to be at the t-o-p-o-f-h-i-p-h-o-p
And im i-n-d-a-c-u-t-w-i-t-h dem oozies
Who me yes me call me Weezy West B
Cause im wilder then the motherfuckin wild west b

Young young money young mula baby
Break in a nigga car at the light
Put the gun to his head make him park on the right
And then i tell him dont talk nigga get out
And walk and then i tell my goons get right in
When you fuckin wit a nigga like me no homo
But you fuckin wit a rider,, they dont heard me when i try to
[told ya I...told ya I...told ya I...told ya I...told ya I... told ya I... told ya I put the bullet in the glock and blow it]

Anytime i swear at sun up on a nigga i will run up on a nigga
Wit the gun up on a nigga now im one up on a nigga

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lil Wayne's Told Y'all tell the story of a man who is violent and ruthless in his pursuit of power and wealth. He speaks of breaking into cars, tying people up, and killing them. He doesn't care about anyone or anything - not even the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. He demands loyalty from those around him and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He brags about his skill as a rapper, claiming that he is the best and that he will do whatever it takes to reach the top.


The use of violent imagery in this song is disturbing, and it raises important questions about the glorification of violence in popular culture. Lil Wayne is known for his provocative lyrics, and some argue that he is pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. Others worry that his music is contributing to a culture of violence and that young people are being influenced by his message.


Ultimately, the interpretation of Told Y'all will depend on the listener. Some may see it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and violence, while others may embrace it as a celebration of power and control.
