[Intro: Lil Wayne]

Yo, yo Drew and Inf

This-this, this right here is crazy

Yo I, I feel big, you know what I mean?

Like, not, not big in the sense of, weight

You know what I mean? Like gainin' weight or nothin' like that

Like colossal

Like, you know what I mean, like (sighs)

I heard you were lookin' for me


[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott & Lil Wayne]

Hey, Mr. Carter (Hello)

Tell me, where have you been? (Haha, you know, hehe)

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

They've been wondering why (I know, haha)

Hey, Mr. Carter (Hey, hello)

Tell me, where have you been? (Shit, you know)

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

They've been wondering why (Hahahah)


[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]


[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott & Lil Wayne]

Hey, Mr. Carter (Hello!)

Tell me, where have you been?

Around the world and I'm back again!

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

Who's been askin' about me?

They've been wondering why (In case you wonderin', hah!)

Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him!)

Tell me, where have you been?

Around the world now I'm back again!

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

Who's been askin' about me?

They've been wondering why (In case you wonderin', hah!)


[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Yeah, I been in and out the bank, bitch

While y'all asshole niggas been on the same shit

I flush and watch 'em go down the drain quick

Two words you never hear: "Wayne quit!?"

Cause Wayne win, and they lose

I call 'em April babies, 'cause they fools

And when they snooze, we up!

Feet up, like a paraplegia

Or paraplegic? I parallel park

In that red-and-yellow thing; old-school Atlanta Hawk

Like I'm from College Park, but I'm from Hollygrove

Now all my Bloods scream "Soo-woo" and "Da-da-doe"

I know my role and I play it well

And I weigh it well, on my Libra scale

I suck a pussy, fuck a pussy, leave it there

Long hair, don't even care


[Chorus: Sha-ron Prescott & JAY-Z]

Hey, Mr. Carter (Young! I am him)

Tell me, where have you been?

Around the world now I'm back again

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

Who's been askin' about me?

They've been wondering why (In case you wonderin')

Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him)

Tell me, where have you been?

Around the world now I'm back again

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

Who's been askin' about me?

They've been wondering why (In case you wonderin', chyeah)


[Verse 3: JAY-Z]

I'm right here in my chair with my crown and my dear

Queen B, as I share, mic time with my heir

Young Carter, go farther, go further, go harder

Is that not why we came? And if not, then why bother?

Show no mercy in Murcielagos

I'm far from bein' the bastard that Marcy had fathered

Now my name's been mentioned with the martyrs

The Biggies and the Pacs and the Marleys and the Marcuses

Garvey; got me a molotov-cocktail flow

Even if you box well, can't stop the blows

Kaboom! The Roc Boy in the room

The dope boy I just came off the spoon

Also, I'm so fly I'm on auto-

Pilot, while guys just stare at my wardrobe

I see Euros, that's right: plural

I took so much change from this rap game, it's your go

(Hey Mr. Carter) Young!


[Verse 4: Lil Wayne]

It's my go, yeah… And I'ma go so opposite-of-soft

Off the richter, Hector, Camacho Man, Randy Savage

Far from average, above status–quo, flow so pro

I know, I ride slow, and when I pass

They say, "What up, killa?" Man, stop bringin' up my past

And next time you mention Pac, Biggie, or Jay-Z

Don't forget Weezy, Baby!


[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott, Lil Wayne & Choir]

Hey, Mr. Carter (Amen)

Tell me, where have you been? (Yeah)

Cause they've been asking, they've been searching

They've been wondering why (Haha)
