Patrick Lanshaw, or Lil Wyte, is a member of the Memphis, Tennessee rap collective Hypnotize Camp Posse. Lil Wyte began his career with the all-white underground rap group Shelby Forest Clique. His first album Doubt Me Now, produced by DJ Paul & Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia, sold over 130,000 copies independently. The success from this album sparked interest with Warner Music Group which would result in a distribution deal for the Hypnotize Minds label and his second album, Phinally Phamous.
His first album had an underground hit, especially popular with the drug sub-culture, for the song about abusing prescription pills, "Oxy Cotton". So far, both of his albums have carried on a rap tradition of having a Smokin' Song (a song detailing smoking marijuana) included on them. His first release actually had a song titled "My Smokin' Song" on it. He expanded on this theme with his second album having a song named "My Drinking Song".

The One and only, baby
We got that candy round here
Paint drippin' wet round here
Every time them girls see us
They be like
Ooh, it's wet
[Chorus: DJ Paul]
I got that candy
(It's wet)
I got that candy
(It's wet)
I got that candy
(It's wet)
I got that candy
(Ooh, It's wet)
I got that candy drip, drippin' off the frame (off the frame)
I got that candy drip, drippin' off the frame (off the frame)
I got that candy
(It's wet)
I got that candy
(It's wet)
I got that candy
(It's wet)
I got that candy
(Ooh, It's wet)
I got that candy drip, drippin' off the frame (off the frame)
I got that candy drip, drippin' off the frame (off the frame)
[Lil Wyte]
I got the candy coat a'burnin
About to dip in another flavor
For a week it's been the same color
Of tropical life savors
For seven days I'm straight
But then I need a different coat
To the paint shop I go
Push the pedal to the floor
Buffer it out, sand it down
Paint it once, paint it twice
Wet sand, paint it again
Get my baby lookin' nice
Now I'm bendin' out fee
Marble purpose green
Twenty four inches under the wheel well
Mother fucker I'm clean
Crisp white leather seats
JL audio Dolby sevens
Banging
Knocking pictures off the wall in homes up in heaven
Catch me in my city
Bustin' doughnuts in the intersection
Colors swanging off in Texas
But I prefer the term flexin'
[Chorus]
[DJ Paul]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hypnotize Mindz super producers'
DJ Paul and Juicy J
We about to crank this thing up fast now
What?
[Lil Wyte]
Now I'm flexin' in the intersection
Every body see me man
Clang, clang
Rims choppin' harder then some razor blades
Memphtown repper
Liquor sipper
Drunk and still behind the wheel
Got a one hitter quitter
And I own lots of steel
Frayser bound bitch
And my red necks spray my whips
Told 'em make it look delicious
Make it wet
Make it drip
See me from a mile away
Hear me from three or four
I got King Kong in the trunk
Beatin' up the floor
I'm flickin', shinin', lookin' good
Feelin' even better
Only thing that could bring me half way down
Is some cloudy weather
I got
Got candy drippin', drippin'
Lookin' real gushie
A thousand flavors
I can savor
Almost tastes as good as pussy
[Chorus]
In Lil Wyte's song "I Got You," the lyrics depict a love for candy paint on cars. Lil Wyte begins the song by talking about his candy-coated car and how he changes the color to a tropical life-saver's one every week. He explains that he goes to the paint shop to get it done, and he pushes the pedal to the floor to make sure his baby looks nice. The chorus emphasizes the lyrics "I got that candy" and "It's wet" to accentuate the wet and shiny look of the paint. In the second verse of the song, Lil Wyte mentions how he flexes in the intersection for everyone to see his car's colors swaying in Texas. He also boasts about having King Kong in his trunk enhacing the music and saying that the only thing that could bring him down is some cloudy weather.
Throughout the song, the lyrics are enhanced with the use of onomatopoeic language, such as "clanging," "swinging," "flicking," and "shining," to add to the energetic beat. Also, the lyrics include many elements of southern colloquialism, including terms like "Memphtown repper," "frayser bound," and "red necks." Furthermore, the overall tone of the song is boastful and confident, highlighting the love for candy-coated and flashy cars.

Lil Wyte is putting on display his reputation from coming from Memphis, drinking, smoking and owning a lot of firearms, taking pride in the fact that he's not shy about driving while a little 'sloshed'. He knows the people spray painting his cars like to make it look the best that will enable it to look like it's glistening with water.
See me from a mile away
Hear me from three or four
I got King Kong in the trunk
Beatin' up the floor
Lil Wyte wants everyone in the vicinity to be able to hear and see his car from afar, and to prove how loud his car's audio system is he has the bass turned up so high that it feels like something heavy in the trunk is pounding against it like the giant gorilla in the movie King Kong.
I'm flickin', shinin', lookin' good
Feelin' even better
Only thing that could bring me halfway down
Is some cloudy weather
Lil Wyte is admiring how nice he and his car looks and truly feels good. But, if there's no enough sunlight to reflect off his car's paint, it will only make him half happy as the paint won't look as glossy without the sunlight
I got
Got candy drippin', drippin'
Lookin' real gushie
A thousand flavors
I can savor
Almost tastes as good as pussy
This stands for his love for his car's paint job, he feels like there are so many variations that look good and fresh, but not good enough to replace the taste of eating a vagina
