[Intro: Lil Wayne, Sample, & Cam'ron]
Let's do it!
Forever
And that I will
Yes
Gotta get 'em
Fee!

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
Straight-up gangsta, Hollygrove gangsta
Lay a nigga down in pink stuff
Them soft-ass dudes just think tough
We shooting—put them shanks up
We tryna live to summer and put them minks up
I'm synced up in the coupe, the eyes Chinked up
Pull up on a bitch at the light—that night, linked up
Whole lotta shit in the life of a young boss
Bet that VVS ice will bite your face off
Yeah, I ignite and take off—now, catch up
I'm the best doing it—c'mon, niggas, 'fess up
Nigga feel different, he could chess up, and guess what?
I bring it to his chest—to his right lung and left lung
Nigga get a checkup, nigga, put your check up
I swear, I'm on fire, need water like a hiccup
So I guess I might as well could say that
I'm the best today, and...

[Break: Sample]
Forever
Forever

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Yeah, candy paint! T, I'm riding in a peppermint
Even my leather got leather trim
I'm on another element
I keep somethin' in the trunk like a elephant
Bet you remember it, like a elephant
I got this rap bottled up like medicine
Who's better than...? Fuck him!
I probably fucked her—ehh, what's new?
And if you hatin' on us, yeah, fuck you
And if them bitches wanna fuck us, we wan' fuck too
What a coincidence
And we cause accidents, not incidents
I am big shit, they're eensy-wens'
They're not even a letter in my sentences
Sitting in my coupe on 20-inch
So it's like I'm fencing, bitch, I will stunt...
Forever
So stop being defensive, bitch
I'm relentless, bitch, I'm in this shit...
Forever
Now end this shit

Lil Wayne

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., better known by his stage name Lil Wayne, grew up in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.

At the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo, The B.G.‘z, with B.G.. In 1997, Lil Wayne joined the group Hot Boys, which also included rappers Juvenile, B.G., and Young Turk. Lil Wayne gained most of his success with the group’s major selling album Guerrilla Warfare, released in 1999. He has been listed in the 2012 Guinness Book Of World Records for the record of Most US Hot 100 Hits By A Rap Artist with 64 hits between 1999 and 2010.

Wayne is famous for his command of slow, witty lines and metaphorical jokes. His discography includes a slew of successful mixtapes, including Dedication 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; No Ceilings; and Da Drought 3. His albums consistently garner acclaim, with Tha Carter series all platinum hits. Tha Carter series has been a work of Wayne’s for 13 years and continues to grow with the fifth installment, Tha Carter V released in 2018 (however, it was initially supposed to be released in late 2014). Wayne keeps a regular recording schedule, with studio booths in his tour bus, home, and following him everywhere.
