[Intro: Birdman & Lil Wayne]
Weezy
What up, pop? What up, pop?
Fuck what they heard, it's what they need to know, nigga
You feel, homie? (They sayin' C-A-R-T-E-R, yep)
Yeah, nigga, we done built this shit from the ground up now, homie (Believe that, daddyo)
It ain't no lookin' back from here, nigga (This ain't no New Jack City)
We gotta show 'em, nigga
[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)
'Cause that's the only way we get down
[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
I down down a brother
We ain't cut from the same cloth, you Downy soft
Bullets separate your body, compound a busta
I'ma find you if you're hidin', I'm a bounty hunter
In your home puttin' dick all down your woman
You come home, we in the bedroom countin' money
I bring her home and I fuck her on a thousand hundreds
Then I shoot the nasty bitch in the mouth for nothin'
I say Birdman, Birdman, what's good today?
We ain't never let them niggas take our food away
And we recognize real and got a rude awakenin'
And woke up together and our life was better
I'm the Cash Money son, I live a life of cheddar
Not a rat, though, hat low, Nikes is leather
Lil' Mal twist two, get my life together
Your bitch meet me at the bar and we knife together, cut
[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)
'Cause that's the only way we get down
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Throw my weight like Sherman Klump
I gotta hold up my estate like Donald Trump
And I aim kinda straight when it's time to pump
I bring the punk when it's time to pump
Wrapped around my waist like a cummerbund
Don't make a nigga pump— you up
I come in that new thing, she threw up
Now your bitch ass gotta clean your shoe up
I'm rich as fuck and I never blew up
Business mug, gotta get my loot up
Bet your bitch get fucked if I ever met her
Bet your ditch get dug if you ever step up
One by one, I push 'em down
Fat bullet, fat head make a pussy sound
Hard head, soft ass make a gushy ground
I'm straight from a crooked town, like that
[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)
'Cause that's the only way we get down
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
I'd give my arms and my legs to the game, I'm ahead of the game
I dead any man if he said anything
But it's cool, as long as nigga paid when he came in
I'm a fool wit the flame and the 'caine
Cut it just a little bit, but the drain stay the same, yeah
Young Wayne and the pain and the stain still remain
On my chest where the four made a mess, yes
I'm still here in the flesh, twenty-one-year-old legend, I'ma live way after my death
I sacrifice whatever that's left
I give y'all the last of my breath like—
Write it down, take a picture, record a copy
Press pause only way you stop me, fucker
I'ma get mine and make you knock me
Spit wine in your face if you watch me, bitch
[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)
And that's the only way we get down (We get down)
And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)
And everything we got, we bought (We bought)
And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)
'Cause that's the only way we get down
[Outro: Lil Wayne]
And that's the only way we gettin' down, nigga, Cash Money, CMB, man
You already know we here, never left, fucker
See me if you got a problem, boy
I'm at home all day, man
It's not a game
Stunna, what's really good with 'em?
We ain't never let 'em take our food away (I got it, yeah)
Fresh, you nasty on this one, dog
Ugh
Guess what? This is Tha Carter, bitch
