Verse 1 (Lil Wayne)
Ok, let me put my gloves on
and my scrubs on
Dr.Carter to the rescue
Excuse me if I'm late
but like a thief it takes time to be this great
Ha! so just wait
Your style is a disgrace
your rhymes are fifth place
and I'm just grace, One, Uno, Ace,
and I'm try'na make your heart beat like bass,
but your sweet like cake and I come to fix
whatever you shall break.
Where is your originality?
You are so fake
So picture me like a gallery, Capture What I say.
All I need is one mic.
All I need is one take.
Like hey, brighter then a sun ray
got a pistol on the playground. Watch the gun play
like, No kidding No kids in the way,
but the kids do watch.
Gotta Watch what we say.
Gotta work everyday.
Gotta not be cliché.
Gotta stand out like Andre 3K.
Gotta kick it, kick it like a Sensei.
You gotta have faith you gotta gotta wait wait..

Verse 2 (Lil Wayne)
Ok.
Respect is in the heart.
So thats where I'ma start.
And a lot of heart patients don't make it.
But hey kids, Plural
I graduated
cause you could get through anything if Magic made it.
And that was called recycling
or re-reciting
something cause you just like it
so you say it just like it.
Some say its biting
but I say its enlightening
besides Dr. Kanye West is one of the brightest.
And Dr. Swizz can stitch your track up the tightest.
And Dr. Jeezy can fix your back up the nicest.
Arthritis in my hand from writing.
But I'ma doctor they don't understand my writing.
So I stop writing.
Now I'm like lighting.
And you ain't Vince Young
so don't clash with the Titan.
Fast and exciting.
My Passion is Frighting.
Now let me put some more Vocab in your I.V.
Here take this Vicodin
Like it and love it
and confidence has no budget
so pay me no mind I don't walk like I talk it
cause I run it
I don't do it cause I done it
and I'm in the emergency u(gh)int.

Verse 3 (Lil Wayne)
Swagger Tighter Then A Yeast Infection.
Fly Go Hard Like Geese Erection.
Fashion Patrol Police Detection.
I Stay Tight Like Chinese Connection.
I Stay Tight Like Pussy At Night.
Baby Don't Get Me Wrong I Could Do That Pussy Right.
But I'm To Wrong To Write.
To Fresh To Fight.
To Paid To Freestyle.
To Paid To Freestyle.
Had To Say It Twice
Swagger So Nice.
And Don't Ask Me Shit Unless It Concern A Price.
And I Don't Rap Fast I Rap Slow.
Cause I Mean Every Letter In The Words In The Setence Of My Quotes.
Swagger Just Flow Sweeter Then Honey Oats.
That Swagger I Got It I Wear It Like A Coat.
Wait, As I Put The Light Down His Throat.
I Can Only See Flow.
His Blood Starting To Flow.
His Lungs Starting To Grow.
This One Starting To Show.
Strong Signs Of Life.
Wheres The Stiches Heres The Knife.
Smack His Face His Eyes Open.
I Reply With A Nice
Welcome Back Hip Hop I Saved Your Life.

    General Comment:"Can't Tell Me Nothin" by Kanye West

    The line was the one about Magic:
    "Know I already graduated and you can live through anything if Magic made it" - Kanye West
    "But hey kids, Plural, I graduated
    cause you could get through anything if Magic made it" - Lil Wayne

    If it helps on Can't Tell Me Nothing the line takes place at 2:45 on my version.

    General Comment:Maverick:

    You stated somewhere in your synopsis that Lil Wayne does not rap about sex, drugs, and money....

    HAHAHAHAHA good one....

    Good song though, one of his best songs (and there are only a few that are even good)

    General Comment:The social impact of this song is tremendous. By antagonizing the failing healthcare system in the United States, Lil Wayne has truly succeeded in establishing his reputation as the "people's advocate."

    "Fly Go Hard Like Geese Erection." - Geese erection is the new slang for HIV/AIDS. Lil Wayne is revealing the traumatic effects of venereal diseases in our society.
    "Fashion Patrol Police Detection." - He's lamenting the failures of the U.S. government; we have representatives more concerned with suiting our law enforcement personnel in fine Armani gear instead of addressing the critical issues at hand, such as healthcare reform.
    "I Stay Tight Like Chinese Connection." - WTF??
