Mr. Carter
lil wayne Lyrics

Yo!
Greetings

Yo, Drew and Inf, this, this right here is crazy
Addressing Drew and Inf, Lil Wayne expresses excitement about the song

I-I feel big! You-know what I mean
Lil Wayne expresses confidence and superiority

Like not big in the sense of weight, you know what I mean?
Not referring to physical size or weight but in terms of importance or influence

Like gainin' weight or nothin' like that, like colossal
Not referring to weight gain but colossal in terms of influence or greatness

Know what I mean, like
Reiterating the previous point

I heard you were lookin' for me
Addressing someone who has been searching for Lil Wayne

Hey, Mr. Carter (hello)
Addressing Jay-Z as 'Mr. Carter' as a form of respect

Tell me, where have you been? (haha you know)
Asking where Jay-Z has been in a playful manner

'Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
People have been looking for Jay-Z

They've been wondering why (I know)
People are curious about Jay-Z's whereabouts

Yeah, to you forever, from me to you
A promise of loyalty to Jay-Z

I heard somebody say "Church," I'ma need a suit
Lil Wayne needs to dress up for a special occasion

I'ma need a Coupe, I won't need a roof
Lil Wayne wants a convertible car

Flyer than "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice"
Lil Wayne is stylish and cool

I got the flow, I'm tryin' to see the roof
Lil Wayne is a talented rapper and wants to elevate his status even more

Didn't wear a bulletproof
Lil Wayne is not afraid of danger

So I got shot and you can see the proof
Lil Wayne has experienced gun violence and has scars to show for it

Blind eyes could look at me and see the truth
Lil Wayne's honesty and authenticity are apparent to anyone

Wonder if Stevie do? But I'ma leave it to
Lil Wayne wonders if even Stevie Wonder can see his truth, but ultimately leaves it up to interpretation

God, not Beaver, neither you
Lil Wayne credits God, not Justin Bieber or Jay-Z, for his success

'Cause I'ma murder Y, kill O and even U
Lil Wayne will dominate and conquer everyone

Man, I got Summer hatin' on me
Lil Wayne is so hot, even Summer is envious

'Cause I'm hotter than the Sun
Lil Wayne is extremely popular and successful

Got Spring hatin' on me 'cause I ain't never sprung
Even in Spring, Lil Wayne is still on top and never falls or fails

Winter hatin' on me 'cause I'm colder than y'all
Lil Wayne is unfazed by Winter's coldness because he is just as cold and tough

And I will never, I will never, I will never fall
Lil Wayne will never fail or lose his status

I'm being hated by the seasons
The seasons represent people who hate Lil Wayne, but his success and greatness cannot be stopped

So fuck y'all who hatin' for no reason
Lil Wayne does not care about those who hate him without any valid reason

Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him!)
Lil Wayne affirms himself as the one speaking but still addresses Jay-Z as 'Mr. Carter'

Around the world and I'm back again!
Lil Wayne has traveled the world but is back and still on top

Who's been askin' about me?
Lil Wayne is curious about who has been looking for him

In case you wonderin'! Hah!
Lil Wayne shows off his confidence and dominance

I been in and out the bank, bitch
Lil Wayne has been successful and making money

While y'all asshole niggas been on the same shit
Others have not been as successful or innovative

I flush and watch 'em go down the drain quick
Lil Wayne is so much better than his competitors that they disappear quickly

Two words you never hear: "Wayne quit!"
Lil Wayne never gives up or quits

'Cause Wayne win and they lose
Lil Wayne always comes out on top and his competitors fail

I call them April babies, 'cause they fools
Lil Wayne thinks his competitors are foolish and naive

And when they snooze, we up
While the competition is sleeping, Lil Wayne and his team are up and working

Feet up, like a parapleguc
Lil Wayne is relaxed and confident

Or paraplegic? I parallel park
Lil Wayne is comparing his parking skills to someone who is paralyzed

In that red-and-yellow thing, old school Atlanta Hawk
Lil Wayne is cruising in a vintage car while representing the Atlanta Hawks basketball team with the colors of his car

Like I'm from College Park, but I'm from Hollygrove
Lil Wayne is referencing two places from two different parts of the country, showcasing his versatility and range

Now all my Bloods scream "Su-Woo and "Da-da-do"
Lil Wayne is acknowledging his association with the Bloods gang

I know my role and I play it well
Lil Wayne knows his place and what he does best

And I weigh it well, on my Libra scale
Lil Wayne is a Libra and carefully calculates his actions and decisions

I suck a pussy, fuck a pussy, leave it there
Lil Wayne does not care for emotional attachment or relationships and is only interested in physical intimacy with women

Long hair, don't even care (yup!)
Lil Wayne is prideful of his long hair and does not care what others think

And I swear to everything, when I leave this Earth
Lil Wayne promises that he will never give up, even in death

It's gonna be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
Lil Wayne will always stand tall and never kneel or submit

And you can try me, fucker, but when I squeeze, it hurt
Lil Wayne will not allow anyone to challenge him and will fight back

Ahh, we'll lose two lives: yours and mine
Lil Wayne is so powerful that he can take down his enemies with him

Give me any amount of time, don't let Ms. Carter grieve
Lil Wayne does not want any sadness or mourning from Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce, if anything happens to Jay-Z

At the funeral parlor, drippin' tears down my sleeve
Lil Wayne would be emotional at Jay-Z's funeral
