Devastation (2013)
Get'em
--
I've been a beast
Since I can remember
I got too many hoes
That's my dilemma
Chop your fuckin head off
And put it on the front of my car like the emblem
Get'em
Mike Banger on the beat
I got this banger
On display
I just test-
Drove a new
Lamborghini and got a A
Got a billion bitches
I'm lookin for the one that got away
And since all these niggas watchin
Ask em for the time of day
UGH

Just engage your imagination for a minute. Picture your worst enemy. Now picture their disembodied head decorating the front of your car while you drive around completely carefree. How does this make you feel?
The thing is, plenty of other rappers talk about gruesome shit, but a lot of the time it feels like a cheap trick to generate some kind of shocked reaction. The reason I think Wayne's approach is infinitely colder is because I don't think he's trying to shock anyone. It feels like these images come to him pretty much at random, and he does his best to make them fit the flow. The end result is that I believe what he's saying. I'm sure he's never chopped off anyone's head, but I can safely believe that it's not outside the realm of possibility. I guess what I mean is that Wayne's imagination helps to feed my own, and very few other people can provide me with the kind of buffet that he brings to the table.
If anything I say here ever ends up in court, neither I nor Lil Wayne ever have or ever would harm anyone in any way.
