Lil Wayne Feat. Mack Maine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young money motherfucker
uh huh
that's right
now don't you know
I'm a beast
eastside
up in the beat
[Verse 1]
Straight from the bottom of the cut
I give it to these bitch niggas like momma taught me
one man with no weapon at war, but I'm an army
my flow is capital attention lieutenant your penit pension
and they demolished that invention
you better get your dollars up
and guess what, I was up
I get my cheese like Mickey Mouse
or else you better Donald Duck
like a shooting range target
I get all kind of bucks
be my shooting range target
nigga I got good luck
nigga bye bye good luck
got your momma shook up
little bad ass nigga, who thought Popeye wasn't tough
I'm on that lala twist it up
I'm on that syrup slow it down
and I like four freaks too, and I ain't young jock but it's going down
I buy that marijuana field, then I just smoke it down
big bad wolf yes I just blow it down
no homo and to holly grove I will hold it down
like a circle of knives I got the sharpest flow around

[Chorus:]
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know they can't fuck with me
'cause I can't fuck with my-damn-self)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know)
Future (I know they can't fuck with me
'cause I can't fuck with my-damn-self)

[Verse 2]
Bitch I'm Mack Maine
I got the heart of a king, blood of a slave
feel like I've been there before, my second time to the grave
but it's one life to live, that's why I'm getting paid
off a flow that's priceless, I just got it appraised
spit like I need a raise
blaze as I gaze, at the stars and ask the lord
why the culprit at the pall pit
it make me sick to my stomach
that's why I rap, like a pregnant woman I don't spit I vomit
so pay homage me and wayne two G's
like twenty hundreds
and we keep the semi's blunted
and we live like brothers from another
so fuckk with him and mack gonna react like you did me something
that's a hint to you David
throwing shots at Goliath
this the new testament, where the victor is the giant
so you should get your way and lose the hate
remember males shouldn't be jealous, that's a females trait





[Chorus]
