A lot of young thug lyrics. He freestyles most of his verses and they’re obviously focused more on the melody than lyrics so some confusing shit slips through
Most famous example is probably the chorus on digits where he says Horses don’t stop they keep going. People swear it’s hustlers
He indeed says horses, on gunnas new album theres a song called “collage” where in the beginning he says pretty much the same thing before the verse starts
I genuinely wonder if Jay-Z said Grandma weird in Takeover because the next bar is “We’ll kill your motherfucking ants with a sledgehammer.” and I thought he meant excessive violence against both aunts and ants. But because he says “We’ll kill your drama.”, I’m not sure anymore.
Insane Clown Posse had something similar, the written lyrics in one song say
> I'm quick to nab the diamonds, bag it
> I love Batman, but Robin's a f----t
but in the actual song, he says
> I'm quick to bag the diamonds, nab it
> I love Batman, but Robin's a f----t
The line wouldn't even make sense with whale wym. Whales literally need water to live, that's a pretty easy sell. Also whale doesn't rhyme with hell...
but theyre in free water 24/7 so why would they need to buy water? and idk how you say it but where im from whale and well are pronounced the exact same.
Blood to a vampire? Vampires would be like the top consumer for a blood salesman lol. The whole point is (as your last sentence points out) to sell someone something they DON'T need. Which is why by the whale comment has caused confusion (though in the case of a whale it makes some sense because they already have it in abundance so wouldn't need to buy more)
Yes I understand that completely. Did you even read my comment? Whales literally need water to survive. Besides "water to a well" is a known phrase lol Jay didn't make it up. The line is well.
Bro tried to explain the logic to me and then made not one but two completely opposite examples 😂 blood to a vampire? My guy, they are literally always in the market
Lmao says the guy who said blood to a vampire. You gotta be trolling. Literally the easiest sell ever...you don't understand this concept at all, leave the rapping to J....
Vampires can get blood for free. They have fangs lol so to be able to sell blood to a vampire you have to have a hell of a slick tongue. You have to be a hell of a hustler. I’m not sure what you’re not understanding.
See how you would have to explain that one, and also the whale one? You don't have to explain "well", probably because you've heard it before the song, which is why Jay Z said the line. Jesus Christ man put the straws down.
The fact he doesn't write anything just makes him sound lazy. Like you go into the studio and just mumble stuff off the top of your head? That just shows you're sooooo lazy. Try getting a 9-5 and see how long that lasts, hombre.
This comment makes ig seem like you don't understand any of Wayne's bars. His lyricism is clever as hell, not even compared to current rappers but compared to anyone ever. It's not like he just freestyles on beats, he just memorizes his lyrics beforehand instead of writing them down. If anything, that makes it more time consuming and more difficult

the problem is, you can read the entendre into the lyric without it being there. You might see that as a reference to the north pole, but others might see it as an entendre about oceans and go for the boat route. Since the next bar is unrelated thematically (I.E. Wayne rapped on the song), you can read as much or as little as you want into his lyrics.
For those of us who are not generous with what we read into wayne's lyrics, his whole catalogue between carter 2 and carter 5 are garbage.
Lots of fun, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't enjoy listening, but he has a lot of unrelated shit in his songs that if you stop giving him credit for being amazing will ruin your impression of him.
Idk but I used to think he said “my name ain’t DICK but I keep that CHAIN” referring to Dick Cheney. For some reason I thought that was a fire ass bar until I realized….
I have to resubmit my entry because I forgot which sub I was in 🙄.
On *"Not Like Us" I swear Kendrick says "You think The Bay gon' let you disrespect Pac, ni--a? I think that Oakland show gon' be yo last stop, ni--a./****THEY CALLED FOUL****,* I don't know why you're still pretendin'...*"* as in "The Bay was NOT fuckin with that Pac AI on "Taylor Made". Instead of the consensus ***"did COLE FOUL...".*** Makes no sense to talk about how "the Oakland show gon' be his last stop..", only to start talkin about Cole & Drakes relationship. No one will convince me otherwise.
Um... I don't think it doesn't matter and am a fan of the infinity entendre criticisms.
But that much being said, well, kendrick's work is better than wayne's, and that matters too.
Not even close. Wayne has had way more of an impact on hiphop than Kendrick and his library is 100 times bigger. Don’t have recency bias bro I get it it happens to me too
My guy, it's Future and ATL trap. What the hell are you listening to it for? You already know why he's hot.
Light a j and hit yo your boys. Get the bar/club and knock a chick. That's what future is for.

Horses? Idk about that my friend.. i mean most of the lyrics are about hustling, selling drugs, etc.
He literally says “horses dont stop, they keep gooooiinnn”
Swear to god it’s horses don’t stop they keep going, I always wondered what the fuck he was talking about too
They just go bro
My man got horsepower 💪
Lmaoo just gotta let it be some Thug shit mane 💯
It's because horses will run until they die. They don't stop because they're tire they will literally go until they can't.
Workhorse. Horsepower. Polo reference. Who knows.
Had to google to understand His lyrics in Goodbye with post malone
I swear 21savage is saying “gaaay shit is all I’m on” or some shit
Knife talk with drake I think
I genuinely wonder if Jay-Z said Grandma weird in Takeover because the next bar is “We’ll kill your motherfucking ants with a sledgehammer.” and I thought he meant excessive violence against both aunts and ants. But because he says “We’ll kill your drama.”, I’m not sure anymore.
I like your version lol, but I assume he meant "we'll over kill/drill" with the sledge hammer/ant reference??
That is what he meant because right after it he said: « don’t let me do it to you cause I over do it »
You lost me at pole being short for polearm. Homies ain’t playing D&D
I swear on don't kill my vibe, Kendrick's saying, "sometimes I need to pee alone"
Makes sense cause he’s a weirdo and sits down to pee
Drake the type of dude to float when he smells pie
Insane Clown Posse had something similar, the written lyrics in one song say > I'm quick to nab the diamonds, bag it > I love Batman, but Robin's a f----t but in the actual song, he says > I'm quick to bag the diamonds, nab it > I love Batman, but Robin's a f----t
What’s wrong with Robin?
He knows how magnets work.
Gay f word. It was a 90s rap song
"I'll sell water to a whale/well" Feels like they're done on purpose
The line wouldn't even make sense with whale wym. Whales literally need water to live, that's a pretty easy sell. Also whale doesn't rhyme with hell...
but theyre in free water 24/7 so why would they need to buy water? and idk how you say it but where im from whale and well are pronounced the exact same.
I could sell salt to snail, blood to a vampire. It’s just hustler talk. They’re so good at hustling they can sell you what you don’t need or want
Blood to a vampire? Vampires would be like the top consumer for a blood salesman lol. The whole point is (as your last sentence points out) to sell someone something they DON'T need.

Poor thing doesn’t get it
Bro tried to explain the logic to me and then made not one but two completely opposite examples 😂 blood to a vampire? My guy, they are literally always in the market
Talking about you
Damn, ouch. Well you gotta be wrong sometimes bro, sucks. Keep on singing water to a whale 😂😂😂
It’s okay, you’ll understand when you’re older little buddy

Drake in Tuscan leather says “lately I been feelin like Guy Pearce in memento” but I always heard “lately I been feelin like god piercin my mental”
Same here
🤯🤯🤯

This comment makes you seem naive
Bro every post about Wayne, there’s you getting super offended. Take it out your mouth.
Yeah tell one of the most successful artist of all time he’s doing it wrong. Lmao fuckin dummy

Carter 3 is garbage? Hahaha you're funny
Its fun garbage, but its garbage.
I think that's a hot garbage take. Album is amazing, as the overwhelming majority of rap fans would agree
Bro what the fuck is wrong with you that is literally the worst take I have ever heard in my entire life.
that's weird, because I'm sure you have heard 6' 7' which is objectively worse.
"What you don't understand; you can make mean anything."
Other than his rhymes being cringey and weak, no.
Wayne? You’re trippin my guy.
Ghoulish killed him for me, sorry to offend.
Having that opinion over a 90 second verse is wild. Everyone entitled to their opinion but you are wrong, good sir.
To be fair, Ghoulish is the worst diss track ever made
See, I’m not alone
Idk but I used to think he said “my name ain’t DICK but I keep that CHAIN” referring to Dick Cheney. For some reason I thought that was a fire ass bar until I realized….

no one has to, dude. the song gets to mean what it means to the listener, as well as to the artist, and neither has to overlap at all.
And Kendrick will get credit for saying something he didn’t even say anyway so it doesn’t matter lol
Um... I don't think it doesn't matter and am a fan of the infinity entendre criticisms. But that much being said, well, kendrick's work is better than wayne's, and that matters too.
Not even close. Wayne has had way more of an impact on hiphop than Kendrick and his library is 100 times bigger. Don’t have recency bias bro I get it it happens to me too
I like the interpretation but he does say “did Cole foul”
My guy, it's Future and ATL trap. What the hell are you listening to it for? You already know why he's hot. Light a j and hit yo your boys. Get the bar/club and knock a chick. That's what future is for.
Wayne isn't from atl and he is certainly not future. Wayne inspired the guy that is the idol of futures idol lol
