Two Shots
Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two shots of whatever
It's like tug-of-war, tryna pull myself together
I could probably do better, but probably's like never
I'm a pimp under pressure, leave my money on the dresser
Goons in this bitch, leave a nigga on a stretcher
It's all there, papa, you ain't even got to measure
Laughing at how my old bitches look jealous
Money over bitches, M-O-B, goodfellas
Cut her ears off, ain't shit she could tell us
Write your name on the bullet, that's a fuckin' love letter
If I ain't a trending topic, I'm a fucking trend-setter
I'm on two shots of whatever
Two shots of whatever
Man it's like tug-of-war, tryna pull myself together
I could probably do better, but probably's like never
I'm a pimp under pressure, leave my money on the dresser
If you're scared, go to church, Mason Betha
Sometimes the paper chase could be like chasing a leopard
The pussy wetter, wetter than it's ever been
But she gone probably try to cross the line like a Mexican
I ain't on that bullshit
Shawty fine as fuck though, now she kiss me on my neck
I hope she ain't cut-throat
Cut down on the syrup cause it made me fuck slow
Shoot so many times I'mma choke off the gun smoke
Life, death, love, hate, pleasure, pain
Pay me no mind but I don't have change
I cock back and aim at your membrane
Broad day, no mask, close range
You can get two shots from wherever
Two shots from whoever
It be like a puzzle tryna put you back together
I should probably do better but probably, whatever
Your bullshit is stinking up the place
Me no tink baduck me a done de place
Can't let these bitch niggas slide and touch base
I make her cum so many times, call her "nutcase"
It's Young Money baby, take your clothes off
Give me them three holes, bowling ball
Two shots of whatever
Keep them bitches coming and she can do whatever
I'm on two shots of whatever
Two shots of whatever
It's like tug-of-war, tryna pull myself together
I could probably do better, but probably's like never
I'm a pimp under pressure, leave my money on the dresser
Two shots of whatever
Two shots of whatever
The lyrics to Lil Wayne feat. Bruno Mars's song Two Shots essentially talk about the hard life of a pimp, and the struggles of balancing a life full of money, women, and pressure. The chorus itself refers to the repetition of having to take two shots of whiskey or any kind of alcohol, to keep going and deal with the stress of the situation. The singer acknowledges he might have been able to do better, but with a way of life like his, sometimes there's only so much one can do. He dismisses old flames while laughing at their jealousy, knowing it's just part of how things work. The money is put on the dresser, and any opposition is dealt with by an army of "goons" who are ready to take care of business.
The second verse opens with a reference to Mase, a rapper who left the music industry to become a pastor. Lil Wayne advises him to go to church if he's scared, and makes a comparison to chasing a leopard when it comes to chasing money. A woman is referenced, with the focus on how wet she is and the danger she might pose due to her crossing the line. Lil Wayne expresses the need to cut down on his drug usage, and makes a grim reference to shooting someone with no mask at close range.
