Sorry 4 The Wait
lil wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't nobody fucking with me
First degree murder, you can get your degree
Motherfucker
And you ain't gotta wonder 'bout me wonder woman
Tune gonna ball, money tall, Paul Bunyan
Real nigga shit, pussy niggas gon hate
Pound of the kush call that bitch pound cake
I hit it from the back
And make that bitch about face
And then I gotta split
Sorry baby, sour grapes
She wine, baby don't leave
I duck that bullshit, bob and weave
Everybody tripping, but I ain't never tripping
Leave your ass flatter than my new television
I'm talking about money and the power
Power and the money
This shit is magic Stan Van Gundy
Ima run this shit till I'm the last man runnin'
Mack light that shit, then pass that to me
Young money motherfucker yeah
We the shit, yeah weezy go hard like cialis
Don't love that bitch, I fucked that ho
She pop x I smoke o's tic-tac-toe
And I stink cause I got alot of shit on my mind
They say numbers don't lie, is that a 6 or a 9?
I stand in front of the clock
'Cause I'm ahead of the time
Knock your pussy ass off
And send your head to your mom
I ain't playing with niggas, no sir not me
And they can't blindfold what my third eye see
Yeah I was locked up, but like a bird I'm free
And the coupe transform, no Tyrese
Hello goodbye, where are you Wayne?
I'm somewhere in between joy and pain
And I reach for the stars, got stuck in the clouds
Got high as a bitch and left my love on the ground
Now ain't that about a bitch?
It ain't never about a bitch
I'll take your bitch and make her everybody bitch
Backed up by a bunch of g ass niggas
And I just bought your girlfriend some knee pads nigga
Eagle street where the real niggas hung
Ima rep that shit till kingdom come
Yeah sharp brang the drank, I bring the blunts
Fucking with me its blood, brains or guts

Fuck y'all for real though
Sleep with the hammer under the pillow
Get into the room, bend her over like her elbows
Soon as I'm done peel off like Velcro, gone
Baby I'm stoned, smoking on the strong
Got a huge ass bong, swag off the hook
You can't use that phone
Stopped at the light and put my roof back on
One time for the g's, the niggas got it lock'd
The niggas with the keys, the niggas on the block
The niggas on they p's and q's
Put your bitch on the evening news
Jumping in the game better read the rules
High as a bitch yeah that's me on the moon




Fuck with me die soon, not late
And I'm sorry for the motherfucking wait

Soon as I'm done, peel off like Velcro
Gone, baby, I'm stoned
Smoking on the strong, got a huge-ass bong
Swag off the hook, you can't use that phone
Stopped at the light and put my roof back on
One time for the Gs
The niggas got it locked, the niggas with the keys
The niggas on the block, the niggas on their Ps and Qs
Put your bitch-ass on the evening news
Jumping in the game, better read the rules
High as a bitch, yeah, that's me on the moon
Fuck with me, die soon, not late
And I'm sorry for the motherfucking waitโ€”Tunechi!
