Written History lyrics
by Young Money
[Intro: Muhammad Ali]
And I'm better now than I was when you saw that twenty-two-year-old undeveloped kid runnin' from Sonny Liston
I'm experienced now, professional, jaw's been broke, been lost
Knocked down a couple times, bad
Been choppin' trees, I done somethin' new for this fight
I done wrastled with an alligator, that's right
I have wrastled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale
I done handcuffed lightnin', throwed thunder in jail, that's bad
Bad dude, bad, fast, fast
I know you got him picked, but the man's in trouble
I'ma show you how great I am
[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
Ahem, you are now rockin' with the greatest, n*gga
I'm the bеst, pound for pound, better weigh thеse n*ggas
They bite my style like some crocodiles and gators, n*gga
Huh, you are now locked in with the greatest, n*gga
I treat the booth like a boxing ring in Vegas, n*gga
I speak the truth, my philosophy is greater, n*gga
Don't eat the fruit without acknowledging the labor, n*gga
Weezy Baby, n*gga, rockin' since the cradle, n*gga
Homey box office, HBO, cable, n*gga
I'm unstable, n*gga, at the dinner table, n*gga
All I eat is rappers, I might have to Flavor Flav a n*gga
That b*tch ate a n*gga, meat and potatoes, n*gga
If she want some head, I'ma decapitate a n*gga
Evaporate a n*gga, eradicate a n*gga
Slap you in your face like I'm playin' patty-cake, my n*gga
Eat the cake, never beat a woman for Ms. Cita's sake
I beat the case, beat some pus*y up and then delete, erase
Headshots from a hundred feet away, but your feet okay
Put you six feet away
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
I ain't gotta say this all the time, n*gga
They know I'm the greatest of all time, n*gga, yeah
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, uh
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, uh
If you love that n*gga, better blame that n*gga, uh
I'm up there, n*gga, where you ain't at, n*gga, yeah
f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, girl
Don't f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga
She say, "Wayne that n*gga"
[Interlude: Muhammad Ali & Lil Wayne]
Man's in trouble, I'ma show you how great I am
Yeah, oh
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
I ain't gotta say this every time, though
I'ma make a statement every time, though, ovation and the encore
I be lookin' in my kids' faces, where the time go?
They know I'm amazin' and they moms know
You know I'ma slay it every time, though
You know I ain't playin', n*gga, I'm coach
You know that I'm fly, but never fly coach
You know I ain't payin' for your time, ho
This is not a bakery, don't ask me for no cake and shut your pie hole
Every day, I'm wakin' up with odd hoes, wakin' up in grind mode
Standin' on business like a base, Barry Bonds toes
You know that I'm safe wherever I go
You know I'm an ape in every Congo
You know I'm a freight train to a rhino
Bust a n*gga grape like I'm a wine-o
Barrel make the Draco look like Gonzo
I ain't gotta say this to remind folks
They know I'm the greatest, even God know
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
I ain't gotta say this all the time, n*gga
They know I'm the greatest of all time, n*gga (n*gga), yeah
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga (f*ck that n*gga), uh
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga (f*ck that n*gga), uh
If you love that n*gga, better blame that n*gga (Yeah, yeah), uh
I'm up there, n*gga, where you ain't at, n*gga (Yeah, yeah), yeah
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, girl
Don't f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga
She say, "Wayne that n*gga"
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Yeah, I ain't gotta say this all the time, n*gga
They know I'm the greatest of all time, n*gga
I'm like what MJ is to LeBron, n*gga
Brady in his prime, n*gga
I'm like Tom Brady at forty-five, n*gga
I ain't even debatin' on retirin', n*gga
You could get the shady .45, n*gga
Born in the '80s, that's the greatest of all times, n*gga
You know how us gators are, we grind, n*gga
Great like Nick Saban, Roll Tide, n*gga
I'm like Coach Prime, n*gga
Come from poor times, n*gga, now we pour Dom, n*gga
Life is a beach, don't push me to the shoreline, n*gga
Flow like cocaine, I give you some more lines
n*ggas know they don't wan' see me like a sight for sore eyes, n*gga
Your flow fine, n*gga, mine's the best kind
n*ggas know they ain't f*ckin' with my bars like ex-cons, n*gga
Yeah, it's flex time, n*gga
Look in the mirror and say "Carter" six times, n*gga
Big time, n*gga, no tick-tock, just bombs, n*gga
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
I ain't gotta say this all the time, n*gga
They know I'm the greatest of all time, n*gga, yeah
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, uh (Yeah)
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, uh (Yeah)
If you love that n*gga, better blame that n*gga, uh (Yeah)
I'm up there, n*gga, where you ain't at, n*gga, yeah
So f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga, girl
Don't f*ck that n*gga if I ain't that n*gga
She say, "Wayne that n*gga," the greatest
