Lil Wayne ft. Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Snoop Dogg (Dogg, alright)
Konvict Music, Akon and David Banner
Wanna ride tonight
Best believe we 'bout to ride tonight, yeah
(Ride) Young Money, Cash Money
(Woo) C'mon Akon, let's go
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (bah, bah)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (oh)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (bah, bah)
I got a nine millimeter (we did)
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (bah, bah)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (I go by Weezy Baby)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (tell you somethin' 'bout me now)
Ahem, tool on deck why would I lie?
Nigga you a pussy, hope ya got nine lives
I can hit a nigga with the .9, nine times
Country ass boy, country like LeAnne Rimes
Mississippi D-Banner and Lil' Weezyana
Errbody got tools so you will need a hammer
I'm a pill poppin' animal, syrup sippin' nigga
I'm so high you couldn't reach me with a fuckin' antenna
You fuckin' with this man, you can be this man's dinner
The .9 gimme brains but the AK add liver
The rapper is insane flowing like a mad river
Make your ass quiver like you naked at winter
Hollygrove honcho, hard time giver
I'm a shark in the water, you just Long John Silver
I got a girl, you wanna meet her? Ha
Her name is nine millimeter
I got a nine millimeter
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (so you feel it)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (to conceal it)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (ay)
I got a nine millimeter
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (so you feel it)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (ay)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (ay)
If I got nine slugs, nine bullets gon' fly
If I got a red beam, nine people gon' die
Nine mamas gon' cry, nine spirits in the sky
Nine preachers preaching nine sermons, telling nine lies
'Cause each and every one of ya'll nine niggas wasn't shit
I would have rather kept the nine Rugers in the Ruger clip
The index finger slipped, the nine let nine spit
I lick 'em all like eighteen tits on nine chicks
I'ma suicide risk, nine slits on each wrist
If I die nine times the next go-around's a bitch
And if I come back, I'll throw ninety-nine shows
And shove nine inches of dick in ninety-nine hoes all day
I got a nine millimeter
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (so you feel it)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (to conceal it)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (ay)
I got a nine millimeter
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (so you feel it)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (to conceal it)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (ay)
I'm a West Coast original, black John Wayne
Nigga where we from we like to pop that thang
Ay, you better stop that man
Fat mouth the Dogg and I'ma pop-pop-bang (bang)
Pigs wanna bust me, hoes wanna suck me
Wanna touch me, none of that, trust me
I'm too slick, too sly, never snitch, I let it ride
I set aside all my feelings when I'm killin' like a villain
Move quick like a cheetah, I'm a killer
I ain't here to lock up I flash the heater
Then lock your whole block up
Dip-dop-deeter, Banner turn the beat up
Illa-fo-reala my nilla dilla never caught
You niggas always acting hard
I keep a ninemillimeter in my waist and got two more in the car
Yeah you all 'bout to get it, so quit it
Tryin' to conceal it
You fuck around and make me reveal it, so killas kill it
I got a nine millimeter
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (so you feel it)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (to conceal it)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (ay)
I got a nine millimeter
Ready to go off any minute so you feel it (so you feel it)
Because of the law, I had to conceal it (to conceal it)
But if you fuck around you gon' make me reveal it, ay (ay, ay)
