[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Murder^✦ 101, the hottest nigga^✦ under^✦ the sun

I come from under^✦ the tummy^✦ busting a Tommy^✦

You come from under^✦ ya garments, ya chest and ya arm hit

Pow, one to the head, now you know he dead

Now, you know I play it like a pro in the game

Naw, better^✦ yet, a veteran, a hall of fame

I got that medicine, I'm better^✦ than all the names^✦

Ayy, it's Cash Money^✦ Records, man, a lawless gang

Put some water^✦ on the track, Fresh, for all this flame

Wear a helmet^✦ when you bang it, man, and guard your brain

'Cause the flow is spazmatic, what they call insane^✦

That ain't even^✦ my motherfuckin' aim, I gets dough, boy

And you already know that pimpin'^✦

Eighteen, how I'm living?^✦ Youngin, show that Bentley

Stunna^✦ my Pa, so you know that's in me

Gotti my mentor,^✦ so don't go there with me, oh

(Let me hit the blunt first)

[Chorus]

Go DJ, 'cause that's my DJ

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(This is Tha Carter,^✦ oh)

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

So "Go DJ," 'cause that my, 'cause that my

(These niggas^✦ is hilarious)

Go DJ, 'cause that my DJ

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(This is Tha Carter,^✦ blap)

Go DJ, 'cause that my DJ

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(Put your binoculars on, try to see me)

'Cause that my, uh, that my

Let's go

[Verse 2]

And I move like the coupe through traffic

Rush hour, GT Bent', roof is absent^✦

Your bitch present with the music blastin'

And she keep askin',^✦ "How it shoot if it's plastic?"

I tell her, "You'll see if your boy run up"

She sat back and cut Tha Carter^✦ back up, uh, fo' sho'

Ayy, Big Mike, they better^✦ step they's authority up

Before^✦ they step to a sergeant's son, I got army^✦ guns

You niggas^✦ never^✦ harmin'^✦ Young

Fly Wizzy,^✦ my opponent's done, I'm done talkin'^✦ (Shut up)

And I ain't just begun^✦

I been runnin'^✦ my city^✦ like Diddy,^✦ you chump

I fly by you in a foreign whip

On the throttle, with a model-bony bitch, pair of phony^✦ tits

Her hair is long as shit, to her thong and shit

Well, here we go, so hold on to this

[Interlude]

Now let's go

Hold on, let me hit the blunt again^✦

So, go, so go

Y'all say it with me this time

This is the, this is the, this is the

This is Tha Carter,^✦ oh

[Chorus]

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ (That my DJ, Mannie Fresh)

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ (Uh, that my DJ)

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(These niggas^✦ so mad at me right now, Fresh)

Say go DJ, 'cause that my, 'cause that my, 'cause that my

(Guess what though, guess what?)

[Verse 3]

Birdman, put them niggas^✦ in a trash can

Leave 'em outside of your door, I'm your trashman

I'm steady^✦ lighting up the hash, and, riding^✦ in my Jag

You will need a gas mask, man

You snakes,^✦ stop hiding^✦ in the grass

Sooner^✦ or later^✦ I'll cut it, now the blade's^✦ in your ass

You homo^✦ niggas^✦ getting AIDS in the ass

While the homie here tryna^✦ get paid in advance

I'm staying on my grizzy,^✦ I'm a bona^✦ fide hustler

Play me or play with me, then I'm gonna^✦ find your mother^✦

Niggas^✦ wanna^✦ eat, 'cause they ain't ate nothin'^✦

But niggas^✦ wanna^✦ leave when you say you out of mustard

So I'ma^✦ walk into^✦ the restaurant alone^✦

Leaving^✦ out, leaving^✦ behind^✦ just residue and bones^✦

In your residence with Rugers to your dome

Like, "Where the fuck you holding^✦ the coke?"

Holding^✦ your throat, choke

[Interlude]

So, go

This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this

Y'all say it with me

This is Tha Carter,^✦ oh

[Chorus]

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(And that my DJ)

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(Mannie, Mannie Fresh, yes, that's my DJ)

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(And this Tha Carter)^✦

Say "Go DJ," 'cause that my DJ

(Call me if you're fuckin'^✦ with me)

Go DJ

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes aggressive, multisyllabic phonological density and internal rhyme chains to build a 'spazmatic' momentum that defined the early mid-2000s Southern aesthetic.

Delivery

Multisyllabic assonanceInternal rhyme stackingPhonetic mirroringAggressive cadential shifts

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a dense AAAA rhyme structure in the opening (sun/tummy/Tommy/garments/arm hit), transitioning into a rapid-fire internal rhyme scheme utilizing 'veteran/medicine/better than' as a rhythmic anchor point.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I come from under the tummy busting a Tommy"

① Physical emergence/birth metaphor indicating the source of his aggression② A literal description of drawing a Tommy gun from a concealed position near the stomach

"Put some water on the track, Fresh, for all this flame"

① A direct instruction to the producer (Mannie Fresh) to mix the track with cooling elements② A hyperbolic boast about the lyrical 'heat' being so intense it requires cooling to prevent damage to the listener or equipment

High-energy, relentless cadence that mirrors the 'spazmatic' flow described

Exceptional use of long-vowel assonance to maintain momentum

Commanding vocal delivery that establishes the Cash Money brand identity

Lyrical content leans heavily on established genre tropes

Reliance on 'repetition of sounds' over deep metaphorical complexity

Occasional filler phrasing required to maintain the high-speed cadence
