Pardon my gang affil,
But you're stepping on a rod in the danger field,
Weezy Baby, how do the Manger feel?
Respect my aim because I aim to kill,

Overall Meaning

The song "Su Woo" by Lil Wayne is a classic gangster rap song that contains a lot of references to gang affiliation and violence. The first few lines of the song emphasize the importance of respecting gang affiliations and the consequences of stepping on the wrong toes. Lil Wayne refers to himself as "Weezy Baby" and wonders how his enemies in the "Manger" (a gang reference) feel about his actions. He warns his enemies to respect his aim because he has the intention to kill.

The lyrics then switch to a more derogatory and aggressive tone with Lil Wayne referring to his enemy as a "bitch ass nigga" and mocking their clothing by calling them an "Abercrombie and Fitch ass nigga." He boasts about his wealth and success, claiming that his money comes faster than the roadrunner. He also mentions carrying a Tec 9 Four 5 (a type of gun) for safety and warns his enemy that they might face physical harm.

The chorus of the song is a simple repetition of the phrase "Su Woo," which is a gang reference to the Bloods gang (the song's official video features Lil Wayne and Birdman throwing up the gang sign). This line is followed by Lil Wayne identifying himself as an "East side" member until he dies.

So capitalize the P cause perfect is Godly
Black Wall Street the perfect family, The Cosby
All I need is a perfect bitch, how’s B?
I passed the baton on Solange, I’m sure like Al B
But a Boujy B would never give me the perfect P-I-R-U
Hello Brooklyn I can’t see
Cause if I did, I’d be S-N-Double O-P D-O-Double G
Cut it in half and you will see that this Philadelphia piece on my head
Like a low Caesar, wear it to the hood and get me street cred like four Visa’s

Hang ‘em from a telephone pole like my old sneakers

[Verse 3: Game]
Can’t stop the red bandanna
Even if you put me in a cage full of orangutans
I’ll show you how bangers bang
Four five cocked back, move the crowd like Dana Dane
Switch plates, paint the Range
Leave so much blood on the wall look like the fucking painters came
Dead wrong ain’t it man, I told niggas I ain’t a game
All black gold chain, looking like the Saints is playin’
He sold a milli, I’m vanilli
So it ain’t a thing to make it rain in hundred dollar bills
We throwing paper planes, riding through the N.O
Red Marc Jacob frames, we disappear like David Blaine
And pop up at the Lakers game
They playing the C’s with Paul Pierce throwing the B’s
That make the ref affiliated, every time he hit a three
Ken Griffey lost all his fans taking off his red top
Bloods in New York like Manhattan took a head shot
I’m one blood, he the Carter with the dread locks
My whole team run base, we the fucking Red Sox
[Hook]
[Outro: Lil Wayne]
Black Wall Street, and Young Mula Babbyy
