Way of Life
Lil Wayne - Topic Lyrics

Look right here, this how we goin' do this
Let's get started, I'll show you how it's done

Hook up the turn tables, Woof get on the keyboard
Set up the equipment and start playing music

And we gon' run this one, ya heard?
We're going to play this song

Cash Money (what you say, boy? 500 Degreez)
This is Cash Money Records, represented by 500 Degreez

Hey, let me slide in the Benz with the fished-out fins (come on)
Let me drive my Benz with the custom fins

Hit the mall wit my girlfriends, dish out ends (come on)
I'm going shopping with my girlfriends and spending a lot of money

'Cause you know it ain't tricking if you got it (nope)
I'm not wasting money because I have a lot of it

Copped baby girl what she desired
I bought what my girl wanted

It's chump change ma, marijuana scholar
The amount I spent is nothing to me, I'm good at smoking marijuana

Knowin' what I got up in my Styrofoam cup, that purple stuff (okay)
I'm aware of what's inside my Styrofoam cup, which is purple drink

It was given to me at birth to stunt (okay)
I was born to show off and show my wealth

So that's why I cop the Bentley with the leather and the fur in the guts
That's why I bought a Bentley with leather and fur interior

Hey, hold on, mami, them whips on dubs (hold on, mami)
Wait a minute, baby, my cars have 20-inch wheels

Cadillac truck, 28's, no rub (no rub)
I have a Cadillac truck with 28-inch wheels that don't rub against the car

Slide in the Benz, fins, bubble-eyed lens
Driving the Mercedes with fins and bubble-eyed lenses

Car show in New York, y'all know who wins
Won the car show in New York

It's the Birdman daddy, with the Gucci and Prada
I'm Birdman, wearing Gucci and Prada

Slant back cup truck, no rims, can't holla
I'm driving a truck with a slanted cup holder, no rims and can't be replicated

It's that Louis, Fendi, on Ostrich streets
Wearing Louis Vuitton and Fendi, on the streets with extravagant lifestyle

It's the tailor-made daddy, mami do you love me?
It's me, the wealthy man with custom clothes, do you love me?

Baby, I'm a stunna
I'm a person with extreme wealth and style

I ain't gon' change it (I told y'all)
I won't change my lifestyle

Don't you know it's a way of life? (I told y'all)
This is my way of life and I won't change it

Mami, do you want it?
Do you want to be with someone who lives my lifestyle?

'Cause I'm about to bring it (I told y'all)
I'm about to show you the life I live and bring you into my world

Oh baby, can't stop the stuntin', no no (bring back that beat)
Can't stop showing off my wealth, bring back the beat

Pop one, pop two with them new Nike shoes (yeah)
Wearing my new Nike shoes and taking drugs

Royal blue Jag' on them 22's (22's)
Driving a royal blue Jaguar with 22-inch wheels

Flip white to green, 500 Degreez
Changing from white to green, 500 Degreez

In that Cadillac truck on them 23's (23's)
Driving a Cadillac truck with 23-inch wheels

I'm the boss of the game with the money and fame
I'm the boss in the game because of my wealth and fame

All these naked women that pop champagne
Having a lot of women around celebrating with champagne

And these marble floors stay high as Rick James
Living in a luxurious home with marble floors as high as Rick James

And if you know my name then you know my game
If you know me, then you know my extravagant lifestyle

It's Lil Woadie from the Hot Block with serious flow (serious flow)
I'm Lil Woadie with heavy rap skills from the Hot Block

Gotta get dough, 'cause y'all won't feel me, bro (feel me, bro)
I need to make money because you won't understand me, bro

But, y'all don't hear me though (hear me though)
You're not listening to me

'Til I'm rolling down my window where my grill is show
You'll see how successful I am when I drive by you and show off my teeth

And you know I probably pump it through the hood on them 24's
I probably drive around the neighborhood with my expensive car and 24-inch wheels

Word, rims poking out the side of the err
Using slang, wheels are sticking out of the side of my car

Glock have ya ribs poking out the side of your shirt
Glock pistol will threaten you so that your ribs poke out of your shirt

I'm a 17 nigga and I ride through the turf (Hollygrove)
I'm a 17-years-old, living in Hollygrove and driving around the neighborhood

Baby, I'm a stunna (I told y'all)
I'm wealthy person with style and I won't change

Hey, and my pinky glow 'cause my rings is so
My pinky finger glows because of my diamond rings

Blingy, blingy, yo, stop blinking though
My jewelry is shiny, and people should stop staring at it

We smoke stinky stinky dro
Smoking strong marijuana

And we don't cop them incey wincey O's
We don't buy small amounts of drugs

And we don't stop, nah, we blow, fuck the people
We won't stop, and we don't care what other people think about us

Everywhere we go we smell like, "Ew"
We smell bad and people don't like us

Birdman, my Pa so that make me go
Birdman is my father

Fly like an eagle, fasheezy
I fly like an eagle and everything is easy because of my wealth

See they think 'cause I stay English turn
People get the wrong idea about me because of where I live

That Stunna don't have a OZ to burn (light it up)
People don't understand that I have plenty of drugs to smoke

I go in each store and ball like a dog (yeah)
I shop aggressively in every store

Me and my niggs ball like a dog (nigga)
My friends and I also shop aggressively

Cars on the streets, all on the lawn
My expensive cars are all over the street and lawn

Ice in my teeth, all on my arms
I have expensive jewelry and chains in my teeth and arms

Tats in my face, my back and my arms (what)
I have tattoos on my face, back, and arms, and I'm showing them off

Don't you know it's a way of life?
This is a way of life for me

Oh baby, can't stop the stuntin', no no (check me out)
Can't stop showing off, check me out

Yo, there it is, ya lil' low life
There it is, you're insignificant

See, I'm a professional, you a rookie
I'm experienced, and you're just starting out

Fuckin' game so serious I could sell a hooker some pussy
I take this game very seriously and I could convince anyone

Nah, that's some serious shit
I'm not kidding, this is serious

Oh yeah, believe that
Oh yes, you should believe me

Who we rolling with?
Who's with us?

We rolling with Cash Money
We're associated with Cash Money Records

Oh, I forgot about peace, peace
I forgot about peace

I mean, piece of pussy, piece of land, piece of property
I meant pussy, land, and property

Just a mind game
It's all in your head

Piece of mind, ya know
Peace of mind

Piece of something, motherfucker
Piece of something, motherfucker
