So Good
lil wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still in the hood but I probably should move
Made enough money, I don't fuck around
I just felt they needed me, so I stuck around
Feds got my man, shit is real son
'Cause my god son just became my real son
Think life is a game but all you get is a turn
Kush in the air, I'm pushing the gears
Love turned into hate, hate turned into fear
If it ain't right, I don't sign the deal
Shoot me in the watch, I got time to kill
Gasoline, propane, ain't no salary cap in the dope game
Ain't no collective bargaining on cocaine
So in other words nigga, do your thing
Mind in one place, heart in another
Please pardon my brother, he's just angry at you niggas
Who don't have your heart in your rap shit
And got too fucking comfy, 'cause we still fucking hungry
Young Money, got the munchies
Faded, fucking faded, oh yeah I'm fucking faded
They telling lies about me, oh yeah I must've made it
Rikers Island on this flow, eight months for that pistol
But at least they had some bad bitches working in that shit hole
Ah, three visits later, I went and did it major
So fuck the judge, and the jury, and the litigator
Watching all these kids who thought they had it figured out
And then November came, they let my nigga out
Stop playing, I ain't with that bullshit
Niggas act like bitches. Shanaynay, oh my goodness
This is Wayne's World, and y'all are just some tourists
Give me three wishes, I wish, I wish, I wish, you would bitch
Brand new pussy, pussy good as baby powder
Two glock forties, nigga you got eight problems
Swimming in the money, I'mma need some fucking goggles
It's better to give, but we don't give a fuck about 'em
I just came home, shit then got real hoe
Lil Weezy-ana, the boot nigga, steal toe
I ain't working with a full deck but I deal hoe
I just touched down, kick the motherfucking field goal
Talking 'bout baby money? I got your baby money
Kidnap your bitch, get that 'how much you love your lady' money
I know you fake nigga, press your brakes nigga
I'll take you out, that's a date nigga
I'm a grown ass blood, stop playing with me
Play asshole and get an ass whipping
I think you pussy cat ha, hello kitty
I just throw the alley-oop to Drake Griffin
I lay 'em down, tempur-pedic
This shit's a game of chess, you niggas think its cleavage
Its young money, yeah 'tis the season
I give you the business, bitch this a business meeting
My niggas hungry, my bitches greedy
Will I die a bloody murder? Dear Mr. Ouija
Nigga, I'm straight, my girl a fagot
Potato on the barrel, pop pop tater salad
In "So Good," Lil Wayne boasts about his success and status in the rap game, acknowledging his rough upbringing but positioning himself as a rule-follower who has made enough money to leave the hood. He reflects on the reality his friends face, with one incarcerated and another becoming his godson after the death of a close friend. Through his lyrics, Lil Wayne suggests that he is wise to the games people play, having learned that life is not a game, but a series of turns for better or for worse. The lyrics also delve into themes of love, hate, and fear, particularly when it comes to business deals and the cutthroat nature of the music industry.
As the song progresses, Lil Wayne's lyrics become increasingly aggressive, referencing drugs, guns, and money. He makes it clear that he is not interested in playing nice with others, stating that he does not sign deals that do not feel right and will not hesitate to shoot those who come after him. He also references his time in jail and his subsequent release in the song, saying he did "hard time" but that he's "still here." Overall, the lyrics of "So Good" paint a picture of a man who has made it to the top, but remains wary of those who would try to take him down.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm as real as they come, I follow the rules
I'm authentic and honorable, I obey the law
I'm still in the hood but I probably should move
I'm still living in the streets, but it might be wise to relocate
Made enough money, I don't fuck around
I've earned sufficient wealth, I don't waste my time
I just felt they needed me, so I stuck around
I stayed because people wanted me to remain
Feds got my man, shit is real son
The government arrested my friend, the situation is serious
'Cause my god son just became my real son
Because my godson is now my actual son
Think life is a game but all you get is a turn
You may view life as a game, but you only have one chance
You live and you learn, either you freeze or you burn
You gain experience as you live, and you either succeed or fail
Kush in the air, I'm pushing the gears
Marijuana smoke fills the atmosphere, I'm driving hard
Love turned into hate, hate turned into fear
Affection transformed into hostility, which resulted in anxiety
If it ain't right, I don't sign the deal
If the arrangement isn't proper, I won't agree to it
Shoot me in the watch, I got time to kill
If you shoot me in my watch, I have hours to waste
Gasoline, propane, ain't no salary cap in the dope game
Fuel and explosive substances are used in the drug industry, and there are no financial restrictions
Ain't no collective bargaining on cocaine
There is no opportunity for group wage negotiation regarding cocaine production
So in other words nigga, do your thing
To summarize, do what you please
Mind in one place, heart in another
I'm conflicted and unsure about what to do
Please pardon my brother, he's just angry at you niggas
Excuse my sibling, he's furious with y'all
Who don't have your heart in your rap shit
Individuals who aren't passionate about their rap career
And got too fucking comfy, 'cause we still fucking hungry
Those who have become overly comfortable despite hunger for success
Young Money, got the munchies
The Young Money crew is always craving more success
Faded, fucking faded, oh yeah I'm fucking faded
Intoxicated with drugs and alcohol, I'm really screwed up
They telling lies about me, oh yeah I must've made it
People are spreading rumors about me, indicating that I'm successful
Rikers Island on this flow, eight months for that pistol
My current rap verse references my time in prison, eight months for possession of a firearm
But at least they had some bad bitches working in that shit hole
At least there were attractive women working at Rikers Island
Ah, three visits later, I went and did it major
After three trips, I committed a significant act
So fuck the judge, and the jury, and the litigator
I reject the judge, the jury, and the legal representative
Watching all these kids who thought they had it figured out
Observing youngsters who were confident in their comprehension of circumstances
And then November came, they let my nigga out
After November, my friend was released from prison
Stop playing, I ain't with that bullshit
Quit the nonsense, I won't tolerate it
Niggas act like bitches. Shanaynay, oh my goodness
Fellas are acting like women, for instance, Shanaynay
This is Wayne's World, and y'all are just some tourists
This realm belongs to Wayne, everyone else is a visitor
Give me three wishes, I wish, I wish, I wish, you would bitch
If I had three wishes, I'd use them all to harm you
Brand new pussy, pussy good as baby powder
The vagina is fresh and clean, as if baby powder were present
Two glock forties, nigga you got eight problems
Two guns, each with twenty rounds, you have many problems to deal with
Swimming in the money, I'mma need some fucking goggles
I'm immersed in wealth, I require eyewear to see
It's better to give, but we don't give a fuck about 'em
Generosity is ideal, but we disregard them
I just came home, shit then got real hoe
After returning from prison, the situation became very intense
Lil Weezy-ana, the boot nigga, steal toe
Lil Wayne from Louisiana with rugged boots and steel-toed shoes
I ain't working with a full deck but I deal hoe
I'm not functioning at full capacity, but I'm coping
I just touched down, kick the motherfucking field goal
Just arrived, scored the winning goal
Talking 'bout baby money? I got your baby money
You're talking about small amounts of money? I possess that
Kidnap your bitch, get that 'how much you love your lady' money
Abduct your girlfriend, receive ransom for her return
I know you fake nigga, press your brakes nigga
I recognize your insincerity, slow down
I'll take you out, that's a date nigga
I will assassinate you, that's an appointment
I'm a grown ass blood, stop playing with me
I'm an adult member of a criminal gang, don't fool around with me
Play asshole and get an ass whipping
Act unpleasantly and receive punishment
I think you pussy cat ha, hello kitty
I believe you're timid and weak, like Hello Kitty
I just throw the alley-oop to Drake Griffin
I provide the assistance for Drake, like an alley-oop in basketball
I lay 'em down, tempur-pedic
I defeat my opponents, as comfortable as a Tempur-Pedic mattress
This shit's a game of chess, you niggas think its cleavage
This is like a game of chess, but some people think it's a beauty contest
Its young money, yeah 'tis the season
It's Young Money, and it's the right time
I give you the business, bitch this a business meeting
I'm dealing with you professionally, it's a business discussion
My niggas hungry, my bitches greedy
My guys are eager for success, my ladies are materialistic
Will I die a bloody murder? Dear Mr. Ouija
Will I be killed mercilessly? Oh, Mr. Ouija
Nigga, I'm straight, my girl a fagot
I'm heterosexual, but my girlfriend is a homosexual male
Potato on the barrel, pop pop tater salad
Potato attaches to the gun's barrel like seasoning, gunfire sound effect
