This song reminds me when I was starting off my life on my own at the begining and there was no one there helping me. I had to figure things out by myself the hard way. Those days were cold. Lonesomeness days. I'm glad Lil Wayne made this song, it made me over pass some hard times in my life and made me realize so much about myself and how life really is.
It's funny how people will only praise mainstream rappers for lyricism when rappers like Lupe Fiasco, Ab Soul, etc etc have detailed lyrics on the daily they're slept on , Wayne killed it none the less
So was at work.. and my buddy had the playlist on... This song came on and from that moment forward I was hooked on a new jam to put on repeat. February 3rd 2019. Love this one. It's crazy because I like Wayne but never heard this one lol. Damn good song 😁
I swear people sleep on his albums and tapes. Its like everyones standards are so high for him that if he drops one wack song in an album all of a sudden its garbage. After giving c4 a listen after months of not hearing it im pretty impressed. You constantly hear of how jay z has been in the game for so long that hes one of the greats yadda yadda. But wayne has been in the game for 19 years now, 1 less year than jay. Thats almost 2 decades and literally every album is pretty decent. Jay is hot garbage now but thats ok because hes been in the game for so long...but somehow wayne is STILL killing it and people think he is nowhere near being great its like I really dont get how he doesnt get credit..i dont even fuck with the dude like that but im always keepin a look out for his shit cuz i know bruh got bars.
this nigga has intelligence and this track proves it....why we cant get more intelligent tracks like this is beyond me..well not really. the suits tell him/them what to rap about. why would they want a society with a bunch of intelligent music floating around. ~*they thought drugs were killing the youth* ~*and the youth will hopefully figure out the truth* click click booM
That's true…but with that being said, he has to fit in with these other wack ass rappers…he wouldn't fit in with other rappers meaning his revenue would drop ✌️
man wayne been making real shit before (trouble, cry out, gossip, love me or hate me) glad he still makes real music here and there hope he has these type of songs on his next album
I suggest listening to his whole albums because thats where it shows how great his composing is. you can start with Section 80 and GKMC which people say are his best albums.
The only part about government that had any meaning was the last 30 seconds. The song itself is a bunch of unrelated metaphors with not much meaning, it even had the usual get money type metaphors constantly. Still a good song though, and i hate lil wayne but I think hes got a couple good songs.
"now pick a alphabet and your z'ing (sleep) while I'm up trying to be the best EmCee. Now let me in I got the key and with them alphabets I never use P.E.N, but I got a lot of paper but a lot ain't enough so I got to knock your patience"
Even people who don't like Lil' Wayne, have to admit, this is a good song. The lyrics in the end are actually very prophetic. Especially for some one of Wayne's background and stature.
LOL if you think this is the old wayne, then your not a real fan. Wayne still has the lyrical content, 2014 was his upcoming year. Everything he dropped in 2014 was straight fire
Gorillas in suits The holy war, the spiritual troops Fighting over the mythical truth Drowning in the political soup They shoot missiles and nukes Taking out such a pivotal group The body count is the physical proof And they thought drugs were killing the youth. Best song of him.

ali m Not Soulja Boy. Btw you're a disgrace, Wayne inspires million and actually says meaningful things. Only if you took the time to listen, and admire his greatness.
HAHAHHAHAHHAH Lil Wayne is trash, and that's not just my opinion it's the worlds opinion , and the only people that can listen to Lil Wayne are swagy swag girls and 13 year old boys I can name approx 100 rappers that are alive today and that would kill Wayne , not including the old school rappers The whole world is making fun of Gay Wayne so stfu
"... And they thought drugs were killing the youth." The best verse I have ever heard.
I thought 10 crack commandments was a nice touch
The whole last part is fire after Gorillaz in Suites

This is one of Wayne's best songs, as soon as I heard that piano instrumental from the beginning I knew it's gonna be good.
Wayne snapped on this one. Forever a classic
I literally never forgot about this song...

its amazing how he don't write his lyrics he just here's the beats and goes hard! much respect. LOVE this song.
This is one of Wayne's best songs lyrically, it's on par, great song from a great rapper
Lil Wayne at his best that's that HOT FIRE when you want to make a DOPE SONG and all it takes a Clean Beat
2019 Still Poppin 💯
It's funny how people will only praise mainstream rappers for lyricism when rappers like Lupe Fiasco, Ab Soul, etc etc have detailed lyrics on the daily they're slept on , Wayne killed it none the less
its unfair how wayne is so great smh. I mean his wordplay is not human, this dude is very intelligent. lil wayne the greatest rapper ever!!!
+darrius green I am not A Human Bieng lol
The ending is probably the most poetic, skillful example of lyricism I've heard from him.
This just almost made me cry.
why?
It sounds so sad.
We can relate 2020
@@navi21wildside49 I can't.
After 9 years, I listen to Wayne agein.
that last verse was one of his hardest
One of Wayne's best songs!
The best song from Lil Wayne so far!
EternityRadio not even the best song on this album. check out nightmares of the bottom

@@ryanc5529 jay z is trash af pussy
But let's be honest 4:44 was a great closure to jay's career
@@ryanc5529 Yeah the new generation IS the majority of the online population.
Every now and then lil wayne will create a deep song and that follows!
Fuck u! All his songs are cool! Except Dirty Dancer and Lolipop. Mostly beecause I hate porn.
Fighting over the mythical truth, drowning in the political soup.
Best part of the song tbh
What do you think he means by the mythical truth?

10000/10, Lil Wayne killed metaphors in this song
I love lil waynes songs so thank you for putting out this cool vid!
That true
No rapper can ever meet his legacy...
These is pure fire 🔥 back then when rappers speak nothing but the truth.

Such a classic
I’ve been searching for this for 16 years, I’m in tears now that I found it, BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Bloody hell never knew lil wayne could produce this
he didn't produce it
Listen to the Carter 2,3 and most of 4
@@user-hu9nw8jv7k are you stupid?
I give wayne props for this song, it is just the best song he he ever made
The beginning on this song is so dramatic lol, then the beat drops and you realize it's a song.
ConstantDaze16 weed will finish you. lol no beef
This is the first Lil' Wayne song I can say I truly like.
Lil Wayne is so underrated nowadays
I suggest listening to his whole albums because thats where it shows how great his composing is. you can start with Section 80 and GKMC which people say are his best albums.
This is Wayne's hardest song
Tru but have you ever heard of sky is the limit? That shit puts me in a badass mood fr
+Aaron Brock forreal! he's got so many great songs it's ridiculous
Check out trigger finger
he's back
probably the only lil wayne song that I like
Same
Look back at his albums like the carter 3 some in the carter 4 and back to his old songs like dr.carter
He was good till after Carter 3 some good songs on Carter 4 but after not so good
Cool, love Lil Wayne.
lil wayne rocks
cannot stand lil wayne yo but this track right here.. respect.
This song was actually saying something and not just talking about fucking women and money
duh he go hard on his caters
What exactly is it saying?
he is talkin abt everything jus play it cuz I cud explain but I wud rather u listen to it
Bezemek505 that we are not looking at the bigger picture and what really wrong with our government
The only part about government that had any meaning was the last 30 seconds.
The song itself is a bunch of unrelated metaphors with not much meaning, it even had the usual get money type metaphors constantly.
Still a good song though, and i hate lil wayne but I think hes got a couple good songs.
August 2016. Still slappin
This song reminds me of his old song "Outstanding" from like '07
"Mr deep carter, from out the deep water thank the lord for my voice, the beat & the recorder." -Classic Wayne.
"now pick a alphabet and your z'ing (sleep) while I'm up trying to be the best EmCee. Now let me in I got the key and with them alphabets I never use P.E.N, but I got a lot of paper but a lot ain't enough so I got to knock your patience"
Even people who don't like Lil' Wayne, have to admit, this is a good song. The lyrics in the end are actually very prophetic. Especially for some one of Wayne's background and stature.
The old Lil' Wayne was actually lyrically deep and phenomenal its bullshit he makes weak shit now.
*****
Did you not listen to the song?
*****"he never was lyrical lmao"
Stop lying...

Mhmm that is true.
LOL if you think this is the old wayne, then your not a real fan. Wayne still has the lyrical content, 2014 was his upcoming year. Everything he dropped in 2014 was straight fire

Great song. One of Wayne's best tbh
Again nothing wrong with Lil wayne. stop hating and listening to his music if you dont like him. no one cares what you think

as an atheist i still like this song
what does religion have to do with this? just asking
atheist that talk about their religion ANNOYING
***** Christians who shove the bible down peoples throats are worse..
true i stand neutral with religion don't go off to any side i think its all the same
***** But atheism isn't a religion mayne..
Religion definition: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
..atheism is a lack in a belief system.
