[Verse 1 : Lil Wayne]
Uh
I thank the lord I'm not a broke n***as
I'm dope, n***a
Change my name I ain't like average Joe n***as
Up above of my above average, hoe n***a
Tight frame with a tight camera, toe n***a
I got k**ers on the front line
You're on the sideline
Follow the guidelines or you be in the skyline
k**as on the inside, and on your blindside
Shoot you right between your motherf**in' eyebrows
Oo, k** 'em - It's that Carter 5, let me get 'em
I'm feeling like John Gotti Lennon
And you gon' respect my mind, and my sign, and my emblem
You got money on your mind and we're aiming at your temple
Check me out or just be quiet in the library, n***a
Or the flowers on your bread gon' be dyin' every winter
And as long as I'm alive I'm a financial wizard
And as long as I can make a dolla outta dime and a nickle
Thank the lord I'm not a broke n***a
[Chorus : Snoop Dogg]
I get the money I'm a hustler
So if you're buying what I'm selling, you're a customer
See I can get it to you anywhere, anything
But it's point-blank range, when the pistol bang
I mix it up, I fix it up, and I switched it up
I locked down this end and got it twisted up
See I'm a dog, but I LOC, with my LOCs
They say, "You are what you smoke."
[Refrain : Lil Wayne]
I grew up around dope n***as, uh uh dope n***as
I grew up around dope n***as
[Verse 2 : Lil Wayne]
Yea, I grew up around dope n***as and cold k**ers
And most n***as was both, n***a
Two sports n***as
I was no different from those n***as
But I was chose, n***a
See those n***as somewhere with me in these hoes, n***a
Momma was a go-getter, a coach n***a
Taught me everything I know, n***a
A soul sister, taught me how to be a goal tender
Support system for that b**h, you played her role with ya
And those children, I ain't lying, slime
All my n***a balling, it's a f**ing team sport
I could change the world but I done lost the remote
All my n***a balling, that's how it's supposed to be, hoe
I could change the world, I'd rather change to beast mode
Coke sniffers and dope stickers
And most n***as was both, n***a
Explode n***a, pop a motherf**in' cork, n***a
To those n***as, 'cause life's too f**ing short, n***a
Get old n***a, I ain't lying
Got a gold mirror just to see my goals clearer
Be a role player, role model, when you roll with her
And they say you don't need to be with us, stay on the road, n***a
That way I wouldn't come to the end of the road with 'em
Man, all my n***as targets, that's including me, hoe
I could change the world, I rather change the people
And definitions 'cause we're defined by our legal roles
All your haters fueling, my needle broke
Lord, I ain't a broke n***a
[Refrain : Lil Wayne]
I thank the lord I ain't a broke n***a
I thank the lord I ain't a broke n***a
[Chorus : Snoop Dogg]
I get the money, I'm a hustler
So if you're buying what I'm selling, you're a customer
See I can get it to you anywhere, anything
But it's point-blank range, when the pistol bang
(I thank the lord I ain't a broke n***a)
I mix it up, I fix it up, and I switched it up
I locked down this end and got it twisted up
See I'm a dog, but I LOC, with my LOCs
They say "You're what you smoke."
[Refrain : Lil Wayne]
I grew up around dope n***as, uh, uh, dope n***as
I grew up around dope n***as
I thank the lord I ain't a broke n***a
