Up To Me )
Lil Wayne Lyrics

Look, where I go from here?
I'm lost, not knowing where to go next.

Just lost my father last year
I recently lost my father.

But I still, remain to keep it real like dollar bills
I'm keeping it real despite the loss.

I drop tears, can't believe my daddy's gone
I'm still mourning the loss of my father.

Rabbit come home, why ya left us all alone?
I'm hurting and wondering why my father left us.

But I'm coming man
I'll eventually come to terms with it.

Just wait at the gates, I'ma be running man
I'll see him again one day.

Arms open, eyes wide, full a love
I'll embrace him with love when I see him again.

You watched me come up from a scrub
My father watched me grow from humble beginnings.

Now ya see ya son riding everyday on dubs
He sees me living well now.

But I wish, I could share them times wit' you
I wish he was still here to enjoy my successes with me.

It got me pissed, this family and my momma, too
I'm angry that my family and mother are also suffering from the loss.

But please brah, won't ya come back for Lil Wayne
I'm pleading for my father to come back to me.

And see Cita, Mrs. Rose, Sheryl, Kemp and plus Sinetra
I want my father to see the people he left behind and how we're coping.

Dog, we really miss ya
We all miss him dearly.

And it ain't all that cool living off pictures
It's not easy to cope with his loss through pictures alone.

Ah man, visit while I'm sleep, write a note or call me
I wish my father would visit me in my dreams, leave me a note or call me.

Can't believe you left me to be a small man
I can't believe he left me to face the world without his guidance.

But I know it wasn't meant to be
I accept that it was his time to go.

That's why I suck up all the game that you sent to me
I'm trying to learn all that he taught me while he was alive.

[Chorus: x2]
These lines are the chorus.

Alright I know it, see I got a child
I have a child of my own now.

I know I'm young, but when you left dog, things got wild
Things got crazy after he passed.

I know you probably saying 'damn, you raisin children now?'
My father would be surprised to see me raising kids now.

But it's all gravy I'm with Baby making millions now
I'm successful and making money with Baby (Birdman).

So I still smile
Despite the hardships, I'm still able to smile and find joy.

I'm taking care ya wife bra
I'm taking care of my father's wife.

Ain't nothing changed, if I still come home late at night she fuss
Even though I'm successful, my father's wife still nags me for coming home late.

But it's still the ol' same ol', same ol'
Some things never change, it's still the way it's always been.

Things go, up and down like rainbows, we maintain though
Life has its ups and downs, but we keep going.

So you know who paying the bills now,
I'm the one supporting the family now.

Still flossing, give my audience the chills,
I'm still showing off and impressing my fans.

I got all my game from you, man I ain't gon' lie
I learned everything from my father.

But I'm still thugging nigga, player you think I ain't gon' ride?
I'm still tough and won't back down from a challenge.

But Slim and B done slowed me done and brought the talent out me
Slim and B (record producers) helped me develop my talent.

Yeah Slim and B done showed me 'round, all a the Jags around me
Slim and B introduced me to new people and opportunities.

And I ain't goin' no where, that nigga stuck wit' me
I'm loyal and will stick with them.

And make you and my people happy, man it's up to me
I'm responsible for making my father and the people around me happy.

[Hook]
This line is the hook.

I know you know I'm thinkin' 'bout ya, you be on my mind
I think about my father often.

I know ya see me every time watching the boys shine
He sees how successful I am now.

And I know that ya see I put out my own CD
He sees that I've released my own album.

And picture this, your little boy even on TV
I'm even on television now.

But I swear it's off the heezy, Weezy
I'm doing great, and my nickname is Weezy.

Say it's cool, you can believe me, I like how they treat me
I like the way people treat me now that I'm successful.

I'm doin' what ya say, don't let a nigga try me
I'm following his advice to not let anyone mess with me.

And I don't let a fine, pretty broad get by me
I don't let attractive women slip away from me.

Don't let nothin' pull me off track from my hobby
I won't let anything distract me from my passion (music).

Oh yeah, and I don't leave my room sloppy
I keep my room clean and tidy.

But the same thing make ya laugh, make ya cry
Things that bring joy can also bring pain.

And everybody that ya love it's like they have to die
Everyone we love will eventually pass away.

I pray to the Lord everyday and ask him why
I question God and ask why people have to die.

And ask him to bless your soul every time I pass by
I ask God to bless my father's soul every time I remember him.

I know he doin' it, and leaving all the love to me
I believe my father is in a better place and has left his love for me.

And I'ma prove it, and show ya daddy it's up to me
I'm going to prove to my father that I can handle everything on my own.

[Chorus: x3]
These lines are the chorus.

I mean it's up to me man
I'm in control of my own life.

Just watch over me
I hope my father is watching over me.

And it's gon' be all gravy man
Everything's going to be alright.

Leaving big, treating me all good
He left me with a good life and treats me well.

Everything else be all good
Everything else is also good in my life.

Rest in peace ya heard me
Rest in peace, you know what I'm saying.

I'll be there
I'll see him again one day.
