Disgrace to lyricists everywhere

A Milli by Lil'Wayne reached #6 on Billboard top 100 at one point this year. There is no God.
I will analyze this song. Since it's very well written and the lyrics are extremely complex. (Obviously sarcasm if couldn't tell)

Note: This song is written by a man who accidentally shot himself in the chest.

I'm a Millionaire,
I'm a Young Money Millionaire, tougher than Nigerian hair,
My criteria compared to your career just isnt fair,
  • Clearly states that he is in fact a young money millionaire, he uses analogy between himself and the toughness of Nigerian hair. So far he has kept the rhyme scheme legitimate.
I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed...
Threw the pencil and leak the sheet of the tablet in my mind,
Cause I don't write shit cause I ain't got time,
Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the almighty dollar,
  • I have interpreted this as "his ideas flow from his mind like menstruation through a pencil" a problem occurs because pencils are not hollow
  • he might have a STD
  • it seem he admits he doesn't write his own songs, he may in fact not know how to write...
And the almighty power of dat cha cha cha cha chopper,
Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Father motha f**k a copper,
  • he's got a helicopter? names family members and insults the police, seems to be filler lyrics
Got da maserati dancin on the bridge pussy poppin,
  • He plays his music very loud in his maserati, pussy poppin has no relevance
Tell the coppers... hahahaha you can't catch em, you can't stop em,
I go by them goon rules
  • He doesn't follow the laws of the United States, i.e. he is a criminal
If you can't beat em then you prop em,
You can't man em then you mop em,
You can't stand em then you drop em,
You pop em cause we pop em like Orville Redenbacher,
  • Rhyming 'em with 'em 5 times is not a legitimate rhyme scheme
  • He prefers Orville Redenbacher popcorn

[Verse 2:]
A million here a million there
  • He knows where the money is at, a million is nothing to him
Sicilian bitch with long hair with coke in her dariaire
  • He likes cocaine addicted Italian woman
Like smokin the thinest air I open the Lamborghini
  • He traded maserati for a Lamborghini which is has proceeded to hot box to the point where he can no longer breathe
Hopin them crackers see me like look at dat bastard Weezy
Hes a beast hes, a dog hes, a muthfukin problem
  • The white man is jealous and afraid of Weezy's success
Ok your a goon but what's a goon to a goblin
  • what's a criminal to another criminal
Nothin nothin you ain't scarin nothin
  • rhyming nothin' with nothin' does not count as rhyming
On some faggot bullshit call em dennis rodman
Call me what you want bitch call me on my Sidekick
Never answer when it's private damn I hate a shy Bitch
Don't u hate a shy bitch yea I ate a shy bitch
And she ain't shy nomore she changed her name to My bitch
Yea nigga that's my bitch so when she ask for the Money when you through don't be surprised bitch
  • He uses a Sidekick because that what all the "goon's" use, but doesn't answer the phone if it's a private number
  • Again! Rhyming bitch with bitch is NOT A LEGITIMATE RHYME SCHEME
    • it is clear that he does in fact hate those "shy bitches"
  • He performed oral sex on a "shy bitch"
    • Thus causing her to no longer be shy
    • She is now "his bitch"
  • She was actually a prostitute, but he got her for free, other guys won't
It ain't trickin if u got it
But u like a bitch with no ass u ain't got shit
  • He uses a simile that implies if a girl does not have an ass she has no value to any man
Muthafuka I'm ill not sick
  • He makes it clear that he is in fact ILL, rather than SICK.
And I'm ok but my watch sick
Yea my drop sick
Yea my glock sick
  • Obviously he does not care about legitimate rhyming
  • He has a nice watch
  • Also he has a nice gun (most likely an unregistered firearm)
And my knot thick
  • Does he mean he has a penis with large girth?
Im it

Muthafuka I'm ill...
  • Don't forget that he is ILL

[Verse 3:]
They say I'm rappin like BIG, jay, and tupac
Andre 3000 where is eryka badu at
Who dat
Who dat said dey gon beat lil wayne
  • He is better than all the other rap artists
My name ain't Bic but I keep dat flame man
  • He is not a Bic lighter, but he is quite popular
Who dat one dat do dat boy ya knew dat tru da Swallow
And I be da shit now u got loose bowels
  • He is your Shit
  • His music will cause you to defecate
I don't O U like two vowels
  • He doesn't owe anyone anything, including in a game of Scrabble
But I would like for u to pay me by the hOUr
And I'd rather be pushin flowers
Then to be in the pen sharin showers
  • He would rather be dead, than be in jail
Tony told us this world was ours
  • Scarface reference
And the bible told us every girl was sour
Don't play in her garden and don't smell her flower
  • The bible tells us not to have sex ever.
Call me Mr. Carter or Mr. Lawn Mower
  • Please refer to him as Mr. Lawn Mower, a nickname he picked up while mowing lawns in the south bronx
Boy I got so many bitches like I'm Mike Lowry
Even Gwen Stefani said she could'nt doubt me
  • He often has sex with many women, even Gwen Stefani
Muthafuka I say life ain't shit without me
  • He is life
Chrome lips pokin out the coupe look like it's poutin
I do what I do and u do what u can do about it
Bitch I can turn a crack rock into a mountian
  • He deals drugs, specifically crack. He is successful at it
  • He has chrome rims on his car
Dare me
Don't u compare me cause there ain't nobody near me They don't see but they hear me
They don't feel me but they fear me I'm illi
  • Ending the song by rhyming me with me 4 times, another insult to lyricists everywhere.
  • He confirms he is ILL, but says illi to relate to the large sum of capital he gains

This song is an insult not just to song writers and to music itself.

"Pussy poppin'"" prolly refers to poppin' cherries.
