Lil Wayne Feat.Currency Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't have done it better
I couldn't have done this shit any other way
I made it now when they tried to convince me to make it another day
Glad I can see another day
I do this shit for my squad, my home team
My family, fuck what another say

I'm here now, it's all clear now
Somebody pour up
I'm eating good y'all can't see my competition til I throw up
I'm tore up but I keep shit 100
That's from the toes up
Last night it felt like I ran through four clubs
Stood on the couch and everyone of em' screaming out
"Hoes down and bros up"
It's different when we show up, kicking doors up
I'm a young Stunna, young Wayne, I'm Young Money
I'm growned up like I'm new here but I'm nuclear
That's a bomb threat mothafucker, watch how blow up

I'm good, I'm reminded I'm good
From time to time I'm fine
I be spending time with the Greatest Of All Time all the time
And ever since I'm living life every night like it's '99
I'm way ahead of my time I think I was only 8 at that time
I rep them five letters forever
Will someone just tell the bartender to mix my drink
While I mix my thoughts of business in pleasure, I'm clever
Long money all around me
I just hope I live long enough, long enough to measure
We should take pictures sippin' Cristal in COOGI sweaters
And I'm still getting better nigga, what's better?
They said I never do it now I'm looking around like, nigga what's never?
And now they run from us when they see us, boy that money's pressure
Plots on the wall of every building that I walk into
Phone taps 'cause they curious, careful what you talk into
Living the star life you'll never know you'll run into
Like baby I can change your life
Just leave everything that you been through and rise

Long as my niggas right then we alright
Long as the women right then we alright
Long as the drinks on ice then we alright
Long as these private flights then we alright
Long as we living right then we alright
Long as it's high life then we alright
'Cause I love it more than anything (anything)
Boy it's money over everything, we've been alright

Yea, it's money over everything
We motivated, flying over everything
We make something out of nuttin, what up 5?
Bag full of every president that ever died
Yea, spraying everything that's in the way
We eating over here extended clips, 50 plates
It's a lifestyle, stunna life, everyday
A million ones we can throw this shit a million ways
Youngin, if you alright then we alright
Night life GTV popping every night
Fly rich in a different city bright lights
With my niggas, rich gang and living high life
Yea, guns in the basement, millions in the wall, GTV cases
If it's fuck em' then it's fuck em' all
Audemars and cigars and them new toys

Long as my niggas right then we alright
Long as the women right then we alright
Long as the drinks on ice then we alright
Long as these private flights then we alright
Long as we living right then we alright
Long as it's high life then we alright

Young Money, Rich Gang, ya heard me, with big ears
You just a crocodile, I drink a full cup of his tears
Can’t recognize you nigga, like Santa cut off his beard
And Tunechi, he gon’ be alright as long as he got his pills
I’m higher than my bitch bill, stop cryin bout' em', bitch chill
And I'm working on that Carter 5, I got this bitch in fifth gear
I can't stand these niggas, I'ma lie down or sit still
Get tied down with that fucking steel, at your eyebrow or your fucking grill
Catch you while you layed up, straight up, bunny ears
I shoot your fucking fade up, badges don't touch me
If that pussy smell like cat fish salmon trout or guppies
I ain't trippin on no ho, treat that ho like a servant
I know that ho better know, how to deep throat like a serpent
But lose lips shink ships, but I just let these hoes Worship
She think I'm a window of opportunity, close curtains, Tunechi

If my niggas right then we alright
If the women right then we alright (we alright)
Them drinks on ice then we alright (we alright)
If it's private flights then we alright (alright alright)
Long as we living right then we alright (alright alright)

Overall Meaning

In "We Alright," Lil Wayne talks about his success and the journey he took to get there, and how he is now determined to make sure his squad, family, and inner circle are taken care of. He mentions that he's doing this for them and doesn't care what anyone else says. Lil Wayne also talks about his lavish lifestyle and how he's way ahead of his time. He collaborates with Birdman and Euro, making for an energetic and catchy track.


The song is a part of the Young Money and Rise of an Empire album. It was produced by American record producer S-X and received generally positive reviews from music critics. One of the most interesting parts of the song is Lil Wayne's reference to Cristal champagne and COOGI sweaters, which were fashionable in the 1990s. The song also had a music video that featured the rappers performing in a club-like atmosphere.


Interestingly Lil Wayne filed a lawsuit against Cash Money Records for unpaid royalties on this album. Lil Wayne quoted "This is a classic example of everything that’s wrong with the music industry today". This album was last released from the Young Money label in 2014. The artists featured in We Alright were once teammates, but a falling-out occurred a few years later.


We alright was also the featured song for NBA’s 2014 All-Star pre-game show. Prior to the game, the song was used as part of a promotional campaign for the NBA's All-Star Weekend. Despite the song's success, neither Lil Wayne nor Birdman has made any comments regarding the NBA's use of the song.


Lil Wayne made reference to Roc Nation in the Song, stating "I rep them five letters forever." This is a line touching on the rapper's appreciation for the Jay-Z brand, which offers an overall concern for music and athletic representation.


The song "We Alright" is said to provide inspiration to young aspiring musicians. It showcases how dedication and hard work brings success beyond material things. Despite criticism, the song has performed exceptionally and continues to influence many.


In 2015, Lil Wayne was named by Forbes as the fifth wealthiest hip-hop artist in the world, with a net worth of $150 million. This statement closes out his thoughts on why he is grateful for his success in the rap game.
