[Refrain: Lil Wayne]

I see niggas^✦ in this bitch

Stunting, popping^✦ bottles

Getting drunk with these bitches^✦

Then when they leave, they get followed

I be with bitches^✦ that know the bitches^✦

That's with the niggas^✦ we following

Get them on the line, stay two cars behind^✦

And tell them hoes, "Don't be so obvious!"^✦

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ long hair, don't care

She handle the business and don't ever^✦ tell

She bite the bullet^✦ and cough up the shell

She tell 'em, "Ooh, daddy,^✦ let's go to your place,"

And if he say yeah, then we meet 'em there

She feed him lies with his silverware^✦

She don't want love, she just want her share, I

Know a bitch named^✦ Liz

This nigga^✦ think she his 'cause she tell him that it is

So, he tell her all his secrets, he tell her all his fears

And then she tell me, and I be all ears

Then I go and tell my people, and they already know it

And then I call Liz, and she say he coming^✦ over^✦

I say, "Good girl, just remember what I told you"

She gave me a salute,^✦ I say, "Girl, you're a soldier!"

We waiting outside, watch him pull up

Walk up to the door, and right before^✦ he knocked^✦

She open^✦ the door naked,^✦ she left it unlocked^✦

They started French kissing so he didn't see moi

And then she let him in, they stopped on the couch

Music up loud with his head in the clouds

Turn that shit down, and I scared^✦ the piss out him

Piss a nigga^✦ off, put the gun to his frown

"Nigga,^✦ turn around,^✦ I ain't here to fuck around^✦

I ain't here to fuck around,^✦ caught you with your pants down

You know what it is, put your fucking^✦ hands up!

Liz, that's enough,^✦ you can put your hands down"

Then he looked^✦ dead at her and he shook his head at her

She a good actress, and you a dead actor^✦

You'll be dead after^✦ we get what we after^✦

If Liz call you daddy,^✦ she 'bout to be a bastard, oh

I got way too many^✦ bitches^✦ that do anything^✦ for me, nigga^✦

But think for me, nigga^✦

Send her to you like she ain't for me, nigga^✦

I hope you alone^✦ like bankruptcy, nigga^✦

She pour you a drink, that drink on me, nigga^✦

She slip something in it, now faint for me, nigga^✦

Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ I done painted the picture^✦

Mo-Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ out the frame on these niggas^✦

Pussy^✦ got you out of character, nigga^✦

You fall for these hoes off your ladder,^✦ my nigga^✦

Take everything^✦ that you have

'Til you don't even^✦ have an opinion,^✦ we have your attention^✦

And now you looking^✦ down a barrel though, nigga^✦

Now she looking^✦ for her pantyhose, nigga^✦

We just looking^✦ for the casserole, nigga^✦

But she gon' show us where you stash it though, nigga,^✦ Mona^✦

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar & Lil Wayne]

Ah, every^✦ day she wake up with a different color^✦ makeup

And a promise he gon' take her to the movie and the mall

Chilling^✦ with the Laker,^✦ on the floor, fourth quarter

Four minute^✦ on the clock, Black Mamba^✦ with the ball

Paparazzi looking^✦ at 'em both, popping^✦ up and take a picture,^✦ uh

Probably on an internet^✦ blog

In a minute,^✦ he gon' be admitting that he love her

On his mother,^✦ man, he want to meet her mother^✦ by tomorrow

(Mona^✦ Lisa)^✦

Pussy^✦ good enough,^✦ it got him sinning in the walls

And he digging in it like he living^✦ in it, make a new religion^✦ with it

Man, a nigga^✦ 'bout to go against God

Poetry^✦ in the pear trees

Sweet tone like a hummingbird when she asked^✦ him

Did he want to make love in a yellow^✦ taxi?^✦

Never^✦ gave two fucks, jumped^✦ in the backseat

Woke up in the morning to "The Great Gatsby"^✦

Then he dogged^✦ it again^✦ like the bitch Lassie

I'm a dog in the wind, I'm a pit laughing

I'ma^✦ call up again^✦ like I did last week

Make good with the friend, and I'm all jazzy^✦

Britney with the twin and the girl, Ashley^✦

Found out that I fucked,^✦ he was unhappy

Bitch, I never^✦ let the bullshit get past me

Better^✦ yet, I wanna^✦ break up, don't you ask me

'Bout no motherfucking^✦ double standard, acting^✦

Fucking^✦ on another nigga,^✦ that's a negative alone^✦

But you sucked^✦ his dick? That's just nasty^✦

Matter^✦ fact, bitch, gimme your phone – No

You fucking^✦ with Wayne's?^✦ – No

Bitch, gimme your phone

No, let me, let me take this call real quick

(She lick me like a lollipop)

He on your fucking^✦ ringtone? Is that the shit that you do?

Touching yourself, looking^✦ at Kendrick videos

Jump on the internet,^✦ watching his interviews

I don't know what the fuck lately^✦ gotten^✦ into^✦ you

Tell me who love you, I bet I love harder^✦

Forgot^✦ all the shit that I did for your daughter?

The Pampers, the Pedialyte and my momma^✦

Daycare^✦ after^✦ school and she never^✦ did charge ya

You scandalous^✦ as fuck, and I hope you blow up

You know what? I give up, let me go get my gun

I got one in the chamber I'm planning on aiming^✦

Goddammit, you know that the damage^✦ is done

Bitch, I'm emotional 'cause I'm in stress

I'm not supposed to go through this, I guess

So in conclusion^✦

Since you like rappers that's killing^✦ that pussy,^✦ I'm killing^✦ myself

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

She say, "Ooh, daddy,^✦ ooh"

Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ Mona^✦ Lisa^✦

Ooh, fake smile (Ooh)

Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ Mona^✦ Lisa^✦

She say, "Ooh," dead emotion^✦ (Ooh)

Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ Mona^✦ Lisa^✦

Now he get the picture^✦

Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ Mona^✦ Lisa,^✦ yeah

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"She bite the bullet and cough up the shell"

① The literal action of the accomplice performing a high-pressure criminal task.② A play on firearm terminology (casing ejection) signaling the completion of the 'hit' or the transaction.

"She feed him lies with his silverware"

① Literal domestic deception during a meal.② Metaphorical consumption, where the victim is being 'fed' fabricated reality while being prepared for 'consumption' (the heist).

Masterful control of narrative tension

High-density internal rhyming that sustains momentum

Compelling character development within limited word count

Reliance on somewhat archetypal lyrical tropes

Slightly lower vocabulary ceiling relative to his peak technical output
