La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (uh)

Sittin' in a Caddy, right like Betty
Floatin' up the isle like the bride and her daddy
Hip-hop addict, hip-hop addict
Man I swear I'm on top like the attic
Yeah, bitch, I be with my dog like Shaggy
And we stay clean but we get dirty like Harry
Flyer than blue birds, cardinals and canaries
Fuck me, I'm all about "we" like Paris
Hilton presidential suite already
I'm richer than Nicole and I'm a lion like her Daddy
I am hotter than the sun, day after Saturday
I swear I'm a savage like Lil' Webbie and Randy
Oscar De la Hoya, box you like a casket
Or Diego Coralles, nigga, keep jabbin'
See, my style it varies like drugs in an alley
My leather so soft, my paint prettier than Halle
Wittier than comedy, nigga, write a parody
But I ain't tellin' jokes, apparently
A parent, yeah, my daughter be the twinkle of my eye
You hurt her, you kill me, and nigga, I ain't 'bout to die
See y'all are at ground and my daughter is my sky
I swear I look in her face and I just want to break out and fly
Four tears in my face and you ain't never heard me cry
I'm richer than all y'all, I got a bank full of pride (ow)

Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Nigga, I'm the shit, get the fuck up out my toilet
Started with my girlfriend, ended with her homies
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Nigga, I'm the shit, get the fuck up out my toilet

My paint Bubblicious, the motor so vicious
The rims the same color as the wrapper of a Kisses, Hersey's
I'm hyphy, somethin' like a piston
And when I'm in Detroit, I be ballin' like a Piston
Oh, and did I mention, I'm fly like a pigeon (okay)
Higher than gas prices and Las Vegas trickin'
I'm nine under par in a Bentley golf cart (huh)
The Polo be cream but the Prada's caviar (yeah)
Weezy, I'm sick (sick) from all this tourin' (ha)
He told me "Sip this, then call me in the morning"
Yeah, and I vowed to never trust another woman
In my life (life), and then I got horny (haha)

Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Nigga, I'm the shit, get the fuck up out my toilet
Started with my girlfriend, ended with her homies
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Nigga, I'm the shit, get the fuck up out my toilet

See I ain't goin' nowhere, bitch
You know a nigga been home, honey (huh)
Money fuckin' retarded, call it down syndrome money (uh-huh)
My cake sick, shit, been diagnosed "Sickle cell bread" (okay)
My revenue stream got a disease like a jail bed (uh-huh)
Like a mattress from Sing-Sing or way down in Comstock (uh-huh)
These bitches call me "Bling King," I shit when the bomb drop
And sprinkle diamonds all over niggas, flawless and D-Class (huh, ha)
Then twinkle like a shine, just like a sparkle from clean glass (uh-huh)
They movin' on a nigga as I walk through the valley ready (Okay)
And zoom in with them cameras like I'm dickin' down Halle Berry (uh-huh)
My money help me do things that you niggas can't believe
Like purchase purses, places or them things that you can't conceive (huh, uh-huh)
Like interactin' with women the caliber of Janet (ha)
I sit and master my vision and massacre the planet (whoa)
I hope you niggas know just what it is
While I'm countin' my paper (ha), niggas know I'm handlin' my biz (okay)

Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Nigga, I'm the shit, get the fuck up out my toilet
Started with my girlfriend, ended with her homies
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')




Started out hustlin' (ended up ballin')
Nigga, I'm the shit, get the fuck up out my toilet

Overall Meaning

The song β€œLa La” is a collaborative effort by Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, and Brisco. The song is built on a simple, yet infectious loop and features the trio spitting rhymes about their upbringing and experiences in New Orleans. Wayne thanks his hometown for everything he has gained from it, and reminisces about his childhood spent in the Holygrove neighborhood. He talks about growing up in the hood, the guns he used to carry, the things he did to survive and how he, along with other hustlers from the neighborhood, managed to put their corner on the map.


Busta Rhymes and Brisco enter in the second half of the song with some hard-hitting bars of their own, rapping about their own experiences growing up and current place in the rap game. The chorus repeats throughout the song, with the three rappers repeating the line β€œAnd I’m just lighting up my la” dozens of times. The phrase β€œla” is a slang term for marijuana, which has always been an important part of rap culture.


One of the interesting facts about this song is that it was released in 2007 as part of Lil Wayne’s Grammy-nominated album β€œTha Carter III”, which went on to sell over a million copies in its first week. The album also received critical acclaim from music pundits and further established Lil Wayne as one of the top rappers in the game.


Another fact is that the song was produced by DJ Infamous, a renowned Atlanta-based DJ who has worked with many of rap’s biggest names. Other notable artists that DJ Infamous has produced songs for include 2 Chainz, Future, Ludacris, and T.I.


The song also sparked controversy due to its suggestive content and focus on drugs. In 2013, a young woman by the name of Olivia Solon claimed that she had discovered the melody from her grandmother’s wake song had been taken and used in the chorus of the song without her family’s permission. This led many people to question the ethics of using such songs in the context of a rap song that glorified drug use.


Overall, β€œLa La” is a catchy and memorable song that is a favorite among Lil Wayne fans. The song’s controversial nature and focus on drugs and glorification of the gangsta lifestyle is not everyone's cup of tea, but it contributed to its lasting appeal in the rap community.


Chords: The chords for this song are not available as the song is largely based on a loop and electronic beats.
