Copped them 28-inch Birdmans, mami (check out me)
With fine brown eyes

It's Lil Weezy, for real
Only Cash Money Hot Boy that stood still
I got a good deal
I'm from a trill hood, I smoke real good
Slide on them skinnies in the bike with an ill hood
Pipes, rally stripes and fog lights
T-shirt white, three stripes with all ice
What that boy name? Birdman Junior, huh
Four was mild but five is so wild
I can smoke a green mile
Got a chrome nina Rolls shined up for you, baby, blin' blaow
I rock a throwback Jordan 23, rollin' on hot 23's
Tote a big Glock-23
You're lookin' at the Seventeen Ward of New Orleans
My block livin' me
I want you to look hard at some easy money
Stop playin', this is Weezy company, uh huh

I'm the son of Cash Money, the father of the squad
And Baby 'bout to buy me a house in the sky
'Cause I'm so fly
When my feet touch the ground sometimes I gotta ask myself, "Why?" (Why?)
Coupe kinda wide but I move sorta quick (sorta quick)
Lookin' for my roof, where it went? (Where it went?)
Mink on the floor, big shoes on the bed (on the bed)
Windows are the tint, more wood than a bench (than a bench)
Water in the hood more green than the Grinch (than a Grinch)
Please don't play 'cause I'm connected like Sprint (like Sprint)
D's on the tray, poppin' up the back-end (back-end)
Peppermint leather with a feather in my brim (in my brim)
It's Lil Weezy, something on my wrist real breezy
And this is what I say when you see me
Look, and leave your broad at home, she get took
'Cause I'm a player hold the game by the book (yeah)

Bright thing on my hand sayin' (look at me)

Big thighs with brown eyes (okay, okay)

In that booger-green lay like should've been Mase
Sweet, do speak but I should've put tres

Hey little mami, you a ghetto fire ten
You come to my post on the island

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Lil Wayne's Look At Me Now, “I don't see how you can hate from outside of the club. You can't even get in,” set the tone for the song's braggadocious lyrics that deal with Lil Wayne’s enormous wealth and status in the rap game. The yellow imagery that comes up repeatedly in the song represents a lavish lifestyle, from a model to a bottle to a Lamborghini to a convertible top “missing.” The color yellow is also used to describe a toupee in the song, mocking those who try to fake their way to success.


The chorus, “Look at me now, look at me now, oh, I'm getting paper. Look at me now, oh, look at me now, yeah. Fresher than a motherf*cker,” reinforces Lil Wayne’s message, highlighting his enormous wealth, success, and confidence.


Guest artist Chris Brown's verse continues with a similar theme, utilizing boastful lyrics and a fast pace flow, showing off his rapping ability rather than his usual pop-infused R&B. The song closes with Lil Wayne, highlighting even further the level of his success in the music industry, with a nod to his label, Young Money.


Overall, the song is a testament to the enormity of Lil Wayne’s success and the lavish lifestyle that it has afforded him, as well as a celebration of his abilities as a rapper.
