Lil' Wayne

Ha ha

Uhh, man fuck them bitches and them hoes

And them niggas^✦ pussies,^✦ camel toes

I got some money^✦ on me and the weed nice

My shit won't ever^✦ stop, suck my green light

Bitch it's Carter^✦ 4, murder's all she wrote

Now it's fuck everybody like a Scorpio

Still running shit, I'm on my cardio^✦

Boy I'm going in, like my water^✦ broke

Suicide^✦ note, suicide^✦ doors

I put in overtime, like a tied score

Tinted^✦ windows bitch, that mean mind yours

And the weed loud, like a lion's roar

Stare into^✦ the eyes, the eyes of forever

Hear no evil,^✦ see no evil,^✦ Helen^✦ Keller^✦

No music on, rock it a cappella

And I don't need a watch, the time is now or never^✦

Tell my niggas^✦ love, I die behind^✦ this shit

A nigga^✦ countin' money,^✦ you niggas^✦ counterfeit

Real nigga,^✦ nigga,^✦ proud of what I am

Young money^✦ is an army,^✦ bitch I'm Uncle Sam

Them hoes call me Tunechi, mama^✦ call me Tune

I left the bullshit in the waiting room

Straight to the money,^✦ no short cuts

Now watch me go retarded, yellow^✦ short bus

We do drive-bys, we do walk-ups and bitch I be so high, I get starstruck

Millz in this bitch he said fuck them hoes

And the jewelry bright, like summer^✦ clothes

And I keep some bud like Rudy^✦ Huxtable

I'm bout to slam the beat, nigga,^✦ Dusty^✦ Rhodes^✦

I'm from Eagle Street, I go Hercules

I get on the beat, murder^✦ first degree

YMCMB, we don't give a fuck

You faker^✦ than some titties,^✦ you get tittie fucked^✦

This the best-worst feeling and nigga^✦ if I die I die a death worth living^✦

This that textbook G shit

I've been in that water^✦ but I've never^✦ been seasick

(Yeah)

Knock me I knock ya face off, life's^✦ a crazy^✦ bitch, Grace Jones^✦

Mind of a genius,^✦ with a heart of stone

C4, Mr. Carter's home!

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes aggressive, punchline-heavy sequencing with a rhythmic cadence that prioritizes internal rhyme density over narrative cohesion, creating a signature 'stream-of-consciousness' delivery that defined the mid-2000s mixtape era.

Delivery

AABB rhyme couplets with heavy internal multi-syllabic linkageSimile-heavy constructionSyncopated breath control shiftsPhonetic play/homophones

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on a high-density, couplet-based scheme with significant internal rhyming (e.g., 'broke/note/doors/score') that builds momentum through relentless end-line assonance.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I'm going in, like my water broke"

① Entering a space or situation with force② The literal beginning of childbirth contractions

"Suicide note, suicide doors"

① A dark metaphor referencing ending one's life② A specific car feature where doors open from the front hinge

"Young money is an army, bitch I'm Uncle Sam"

① The iconic symbol of the U.S. military recruitment② The leader of the Young Money collective who dictates the movement

High internal rhyme density creates a kinetic, non-stop flow

Strong command of punchline placement within the 4-bar structure

Confident and varied vocal delivery that emphasizes 'Young Money' branding

Lyrical content leans heavily into genre tropes

Occasional filler lines used solely to bridge rhyme sounds

Lack of thematic depth beyond braggadocio
