[Interlude: Lil Wayne & Sampha]
C5
Yeah, back in this bitch
Tune, you left this bitch
Like you knew this bitch was gon' let your ass back in this bitch
(Let it all work out, let it all work out) Yeah, haha✦
But ain't nobody✦ else like you in this bitch
(Let it all work out, mm, let it all work out)
(Let it all work out) Ain't nobody✦ else like you in this bitch
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Cita,✦ you a psychic
'Cause you said there be days like this
They want a piece of me, I ain't the one that's serving slices
Please swallow, I had my share of dirty✦ diapers, real shit
Pussy✦ niggas✦ on that guilt trip
It'll be on in a heartbeat
You can hear them pussy✦ nigga's✦ shit skip
I fear God, never✦ fear men
Give back, never✦ give in
Beat odds, never✦ beat women✦
Keep an open✦ mind, let 'em peek in it
Reach highs, never✦ reach limits✦
Need minds, I don't need plenty✦
This C5, this for BI and Left Eye, and T-Boz
When I seen Chilli at the Floyd fight
I almost asked✦ her to creep with me
But I was young, and I held my tongue
But with that tongue, I just keep spittin'
So it all worked✦ out
[Interlude: Lil Wayne & Sampha]
And now I'm in this bitch
And life said, "Tune, you knew me for way too long"
I never✦ change, you know I been this bitch
And then she said, "Let it all work out"
"Let it all work out, let it all work out" (Yeah)
"Let it all work out, let it all work out"
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Tunechi, you a monster
Looked✦ in the mirror, but you wasn't there, I couldn't find ya
I'm lookin'✦ for that big, old smile, full of diamonds
Instead, I found this letter✦ you ain't finished writin'✦
It read, "I'm sorry✦ for even✦ apologizin'"
I tried compromisin' and went kamikaze
I found my momma's✦ pistol where she always✦ hide it
I cried, put it to my head and thought about✦ it
Nobody✦ was home to stop me, so I called✦ my auntie
Hung up, then put the gun up to my heart and pondered
Too much was on my conscience to be smart about✦ it
Too torn apart✦ about✦ it, I aim where my heart was poundin'
I shot it, and I woke up with blood all around✦ me
It's mine, I didn't die, but as I was dyin'
God came to my side and we talked✦ about✦ it
He sold me another life and he made a prophet
[Interlude: Lil Wayne & Sampha]
Yeah, and he said
("Let it all work out") Yeah
("Let it all work out") I'm still in this bitch
("Let it all work out") Yeah
("Let it all work out") Thank God 'cause I'm still in this bitch
(Let it all work out) Phew
("Let it all work out") But he said, "Remember✦ this:"
("Let it all work out")
("Let it all work out") "Ain't nobody✦ else like you in this bitch"
("Let it all work out") Yeah
("Let it all work out") "And don't forget✦ what I did this bitch"
("Let it all work out") "Can't even✦ remember✦ when I didn't, bitch"
"Let it all—"
[Outro: Lil Wayne, Sampha & Jacida Carter]
Out, let it all work out (Yeah)
Let it all work out, (Now I'm out this bitch) Let it all work out
I'm out this bitch (Let it all—) and it all worked✦ out
Love you, Dwayne

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes a highly rhythmic, percussive cadence to mask deep emotional vulnerability, using an AAAA/BBBB internal rhyme structure to create a trance-like state that highlights his personal evolution.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a masterful implementation of internal end-rhymes (e.g., 'psychic/like this', 'slices/diapers', 'trip/skip') followed by a rapid-fire sequence of AAAA-style parallel structures (Fear God/Fear men, Give back/Give in, Beat odds/Beat women).
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"They want a piece of me, I ain't the one that's serving slices"

① Literal request for a share of his fame/fortune.② A culinary pun on 'serving slices' (of pizza or cake) as a rejection of being a provider for opportunistic individuals.

"Beat odds, never beat women"

① Overcoming statistical probability and life's struggles.② A moral stance explicitly contrasting his personal growth against domestic abuse, serving as a pillar for his new personal conduct.

Unmatched rhythmic flow and internal rhyme density

Strong moral pivot points within the parallel structure

Impeccable usage of breath control to maintain intensity

Vocabulary remains relatively accessible/standard for Wayne

Some punchlines rely on established tropes (guilt trip/heartbeat)

The density of internal rhymes occasionally overshadows lyrical complexity
