Let It Rock
Lil wayne/Kevin Rudolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time and you do your crime
Well you made your bed, I'm in mine
Because when I arrive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Now the son's disgraced
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world to the world
And you take your time and you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours, I got mine
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Yeah! Wayne's world
Planet Rock, panties drop
And the tops and she gonna rock 'til the camera stop
And I sing about angels like Angela (rock) and Pamela (rock)
And Samantha (rock) and Amanda and Tamara
I'm in here up like bitch what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can fuck you up, I can fuck you down
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
And the jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big ass rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground, Weezy
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Just let it rock
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
I'm back like I forgot something, I'm something
Rollin' Rock rubbing rap running
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
Like Wayne the personal trainer
My aim is perfect I'll fuck ya, period, like the reminder
I wish I could be, as cruel as you
And I wish I could say, the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie, no not this time
The song "Let It Rock" by Lil Wayne featuring Neil Patrick Harris is a powerful and thought-provoking expression of the struggle between living a lie and standing up for what is right. The opening lyrics paint a picture of someone hiding behind their collar, ashamed of their actions and praying to God for justification of their lies. The chorus represents a message of hope from the perspective of the singer, promising to “bring the fire” and “take you higher” as a reminder to let the truth be known and to let it rock.
The second verse tells the story of a son who turns his back on his father, cursing his name in pursuit of money and material possessions. This ultimately leads to heartbreak and a sense of isolation from the world, as the son raises his middle finger in defiance. The chorus repeats, echoing the sentiment that the truth will set you free, even if it hurts at first.
The final verse is a rhythmic showcase of Lil Wayne’s wordplay, highlighting his skills as a rapper and his ability to make even the most mundane things sound exciting. He promises to “fix you up” and “fuck you up” in equal measure, showcasing his prowess both as a mechanic and a master of the rap game. The final lyrics represent a personal statement from Lil Wayne, expressing his desire to tell the truth and be true to himself, even when it’s difficult.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the conflict between living a lie and speaking the truth, set to a catchy beat and featuring some of Lil Wayne’s best lyrics.

I see your dirty face, high behind your collar
I observe you trying to hide your face behind your collar even though you are filthy
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
It is challenging to accept reality when your actions are fruitless
So you pray to God
You resort to seeking divine intervention
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
You request God's help to mask the fact that you're leading a deceitful life

Now the son's disgraced
The son is now facing shame
He, who knew his father
He is well acquainted with his father
When he cursed his name
When he swore at his father
Turned, and chased the dollar
He became more focused on accumulating wealth
But it broke his heart
It still caused him emotional distress
So he stuck his middle finger
He expressed his anger towards the world by flipping the middle finger
To the world, to the world to the world
He directed his resentment towards society
And you take your time and you stand in line
You wait patiently in line, taking your time
Well you'll get what's yours, I got mine
You'll receive what you deserve eventually, but I've already been rewarded
Yeah! Wayne's world
My realm or domain
Planet Rock, panties drop
People get excited, to the point where women's underwear falls off
And the tops and she gonna rock 'til the camera stop
She will perform until the camera turns off
And I sing about angels like Angela (rock) and Pamela (rock)
I reference angelic figures like Angela and Pamela by using their names in my song
And Samantha (rock) and Amanda and Tamara
I also mention name like Samantha, Amanda, and Tamara
I'm in here up like bitch what's up
I'm feeling confident and assertive, asking what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can repair you like a mechanic would a car
I can fuck you up, I can fuck you down
I can cause both pleasure and pain
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
We can travel anywhere you desire, just choose a location
And the jewelry is louder than an engine sound
My jewelry is so extravagant, it's noisier than a car engine
Big ass rocks like on the ground
My jewelry has enormous diamonds like those on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground, Weezy
My opulence shouldn't be underestimated just because of my nickname
I'm back like I forgot something, I'm something
I have returned, acting like I forgot something, but I am still an excellent rapper
Rollin' Rock rubbing rap running
I'm engaging in a fast-paced rhyming performance
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
I'm working hard, putting in a lot of effort, like trying to lose weight to have a flat stomach
Like Wayne the personal trainer
Just like a personal trainer, I am committed to hard work and excellence
My aim is perfect I'll fuck ya, period, like the reminder
My aim in life is perfect, and I'm capable of causing pain during sex
I wish I could be, as cruel as you
I wish I could be as heartless as you
And I wish I could say, the things you do
I wish I could utter the same cruel things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie, no not this time
I choose not to live a lie, even if it makes me seem weak compared to you
Just let it rock
Just go with the flow and enjoy the good times
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Repeated message to embrace the moment and let the good times continue to roll

A Sensory Superpower
As it turns out, getting chills from music is not as common as you might think. Researchers from USC released a study that suggests that only about 50 percent of people feel things like shivers, a lump in their throat, and goosebumps when they listen to music. What's more, those people might have very different brains than those who don't experience those feelings.
First, they gathered 20 people and had them listen to a selection of their favorite songs. Whenever they felt a chill, they pressed a button. All 20 were then given MRI scans — and the 10 that reported reactions were obvious standouts. Their brains turned out to have a much higher volume of fibers connecting their auditory cortex to the areas that process emotion.
More fibers mean that those two areas of the brain can communicate much more effectively. It also means that, because their emotional processing centers are beefier, those people are more able to experience extreme emotions.
A Feeling of Frisson
This study might shed a light on the causes of the phenomenon, but it's been well documented for years. Actually, it even has a name. The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and it's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since it was first described.
That's because even if we know the actual mechanism that causes frisson — a close connection to the emotional processing center — we don't know what purpose it could serve us. But other studies have suggested some potential benefits of this kind of behavior.
One report from 2007 found that individuals who experience frisson are more open to new experiences than others, and other studies described higher levels of creativity and intellectual curiosity. In other words, the appreciation of beauty is central to what makes us human, and frisson is just a super-charged version of that appreciation.
