It’s Weezy baby! Can’t get enough of it. His lyrics are incredible. First we had Mr. Carter, now we have Dr. Carter!
All you need is a bass guitar and a drum set (and some horns!) and you have a fantastic song for Wayne to rap over. This song sees him drop this track in an attempt to save other rappers who are struggling in the game, and even save the game itself. This song samples David Axelrod’s “Holy Thursday” from 1968 and it is a fantastic track.
My particular favorite is the second verse where he talks about respect in the game.
“Respect is in the the heart, so that’s where I’mma start, and a lot of heart patients don’t make it, no hey kids, plural, I graduated, ’cause you could live through anything if Magic made it, and that was called recycling, or rereciting, something ’cause you just like it, some say its biting, but I say it’s 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’m a doctor they don’t understand my writing, so I stop writing, now I’m lightning, and you ain’t Vince Young so don’t clash with the Titans, fast and exciting, my passion is frightening, 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 it like I talk it cause I’m running, I don’t do it cause I don it and I’m in the emergency un-it, I’ve done it, I’ve lost another one”
The part where he talks about re-using a Kanye lyric is perfection.
Enjoy the song in it’s brilliance! Be good, do good!
everything, etc.
