Beat: I'm not going to score categories on this until the overall, so I'll just talk about these. This beat is definitely catchy, but it's incredibly repetitive. I guess mainstream rap doesn't ever really try to have instrumentals that are much more than one catchy loop of a few seconds, so I can't get too mad about it. But it's definitely not the kind of catchy where I'm glad it's stuck in my head.
Excuse my charisma, vodka with a spritzer
These two clauses are completely unrelated as far as I'm concerned.
swagger down pat, call my shit Patricia
No. This is just stupid.
Young Money militia, and I am the commissioner
The military reference seems pretty out-of-nowhere.
you don't want start Weezy, 'cause the F is for Finisher
Start-finish? OK, not bad I guess.
so misunderstood, but what's a World without enigma?
This sounds pretty Jaden Smithy.
two bitches at the same time, synchronized swimmers
got the girl twisted 'cause she open when you twist her
never met the bitch, but I fuck her like I missed her
These last 3 lines are funny. If he's going for a serious song then this is really stupid though.
life is the bitch, and death is her sister
sleep is the cousin, what a fuckin' family picture
you know father time, we all know mother nature
it's all in the family, but I am of no relation
These 4 lines are just confusing. Is the last line supposed to be bragging about the sex not being incest?
no matter who's buying, I'm a celebration
black and white diamonds, fuck segregation
The segregation reference is just completely random.
fuck that shit, my money up, you niggas just Honey Nut
This is just dumb and too random.
Young Money running shit and you niggas just runner-ups
Little running pun isn't bad I guess.
I don't feel I done enough, so I'ma keep on doing this shit
Pretty basic boast.
Lil Tunechi or Young Tunafish
He just randomly names two of his nicknames in the middle of the song. Kind of stupid ones at that.
I'm going back in
Good to know.
okay, I lost my mind, it's somewhere out there stranded
The wordplay isn't that bad, but it seemed to me like the song was about him boasting earlier and now he's sort of talking about his inner emotions.
I think you stand under me if you don't understand me
The pun could've made for a good line but this wording just doesn't make sense. You “think” they stand under you?
had my heart broken by this woman named Tammy
but hoes gon' be hoes, so I couldn't blame Tammy
Please do not rhyme Tammy with Tammy. Also, these lines are really cliché.
just talked to moms, told her she the sweetest
What does this have to do with anything?
I beat the beat up, call it self defense
The beat was hurting you?
swear man, I be seeing through these niggas like sequins
I've heard jokes like this before but whatever, it's not bad.
niggas think they He-Men, pow, pow, the end
This just sounds childish and weird.
talking to myself because I am my own consultant
Is there some kind of point to being your own consultant?
married to the money, fuck the world, that's adultery
I guess it's clever for a line about money and sex. Which isn't saying too much.
you full of shit, you close your mouth and let yo ass talk
I've heard this one before. From middle schoolers.
young Money eating, all you haters do is add salt
This isn't that bad I guess.
stop playing, bitch, I got this game on deadbolt
Nothing too out of the ordinary from stuff I've already heard.
mind so sharp, I fuck around and cut my head off
This line has potential I suppose but “fuck around”?
real nigga all day and tomorrow
I watched the skit this is supposedly referencing and I still don't think it's very clever.
but these muthafuckas talking crazy like they jaw broke
Funny mental image.
glass half empty, half full, I'll spill ya
Is he saying he doesn't want people to think or something?
try me and run into a wall, outfielder
Not bad I guess.
You know I'ma ball 'til they turn off the field lights
When there's a double meaning to “ball” but not a double meaning to “field lights”, the line doesn't really make sense.
the fruits of my labor, I enjoy 'em while they still ripe
Could be a clever pun, but why is he bragging about this.
bitch, stop playing, I do it like a king do
Cliche.
if these niggas animals, then I'ma have a mink soon
Is animals a good thing or bad thing?
tell 'em bitches I say put my name on the wall
I don't really get the point of this line beyond the “On the Wall” reference.
I speak the truth, but I guess that's a foreign language to y'all
This is a cool line, actually.
and I call it like I see it, and my glasses on
The way the line is worded it feels like he's bragging about glasses, which is weird.
but most of y'all don't get the picture 'less the flash is on
This is kinda cool too.
satisfied with nothing, you don't know the half of it
Not really clever.
Young Money, Cash Money
Why.
paper chasing, tell that paper, "Look, I'm right behind ya"
Not terrible for a line about money.
bitch, real G's move in silence like lasagna
So I've thought about it and I decided I like this line. The “lasagna” thing sounds weird I guess but I think the line is clever.
people say I'm borderline crazy, sorta kinda
Kind of clever I guess.
woman of my dreams, I don't sleep so I can't find her
A surprisingly sad turn from the rest of the song. I like the line.
you niggas are gelatin, peanuts to an elephant
These references are kinda random.
I got through that sentence like a subject and a predicate
Well, how does a subject and predicate go through a sentence? Do they do it in a manner that's worth bragging about?
yeah, with a swag you would kill for
Lame.
money too strong, pockets on bodybuilder
Again, not bad for a line about money.
jumped in a wishing well, now wish me well
Why did he jump in a wishing well?
tell 'em kiss my ass, call it kiss and tell
Actually not that bad. I like the wordplay.
Word to my mama, I'm out of my lima bean
Why a lima bean exactly?
don't wanna see what that drama mean, get some Dramamine
Nice double meaning I guess.
llama scream, hotter than summer sun on a Ghana queen
These references are pretty random.
now all I want is hits, bitch, Wayne signed a fiend
Doesn't seem clever in any way.
I played the side for you niggas that's tryna front, and see
The wording of this is just way too confusing, and the “and see” at the end is too desperate for a rhyme.
son of Gunz, Son of Sam, you niggas the son of me
pause for this dumber speech, I glow like Buddha
These are really out there references.
disturb me, and you'll be all over the flow like Luda
Pretty clever.
bitch, I flow like scuba, bitch, I'm bold like Cuba
Do you really need to put bitch in the same line twice as an interjection? And the Cuba referernce isn't that clever either.
and I keep a killer ho, she gon' blow right through ya
This one doesn't quite cross the line from stupid to clever.
I be macking, 'bout my stacking, now I pack like a mover
”Packing like a mover” is clever.
shout to ratchet for backing out on behalf of my shooter
I don't really think this is a reference to Ratchet and Clank like Rap Genius says. I think it's just generic.
niggas think they high as I, I come laugh at your ruler
”High as I” is weird sounding. The ruler pun isn't super clever either.
Cash Money cold, bitch, but our actions is cooler
I've heard “cool” puns like this tons of times before.
Wayne, these niggas out they mind
I done told these fuck niggas, so many times
that I keep these bucks steady on my mind
tuck these, I fuck these on your mind, pause
to feed them, on my grind, did I get a little love?
keep throwing my sign in the middle
No references, not really any puns, this is just a stretch of lame lines.
hit 'em up, piece on my side, 'cause ain't no peace on my side, bitch
This is more clever.
I'm a man, I visit urinals with pride
This is not cool, this is just stupid. It sounds like something a little kid who thinks girls are icky would say.
Tune told me to, I'm shooting when the funeral outside
Why is he doing this again?
I'm uptown, thoroughbred, a BX nigga, ya heard?
Just bragging, nothing really clever.
Gunna
Cool.
Overall: Having never heard a Lil Wayne song in its entirety before, this was better than I expected I suppose. I'm a sucker for puns as a lot of you know, and there are definitely some good ones in here. The whole song is also fairly confusing. I don't know how you could even enjoy it without looking up all the lines, and t seems like he's on one point and then the next line he's on another point. It also definitely suffers from some really tired rap cliches, like money and sex and drugs and stuff. I understand Lil Wayne fans a little more now. It's just not my thing really. 6/10
