[Intro: Lil Wayne]

Yo

Yo, Drew and Inf' did this

This right here is cray

Yeah, 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, huh

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, haha)

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin'

They been wonderin' why (I know, haha)

Hey, Mr. Carter (Hey, hello)

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

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin'

They been wonderin' why (Hahaha)

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Yeah, to you forever, from me to you

I heard somebody say "church", I'ma need a suit

I'ma need a coupe, I won't need a roof

Flyer than Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

I got the flow, I'm tryna see the roof

Didn't wear a bulletproof, so I got shot and you can see the proof

Blind eyes could look at me and see the truth

Wonder if Stevie do?

But I'ma leave it to God, not Beaver, neither you

'Cause I'ma murder Y, kill O, and even U

Man, I got summer hatin' on me 'cause I'm hotter than the sun

Got spring hatin' on me 'cause I ain't never sprung

Winter hatin' on me 'cause I'm colder than y'all

And I will never, I will never, I will never fall

I'm bein' hated by the season

So fuck y'all, who hatin' for no reason

[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott & Lil Wayne]

Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him)

Tell me, where have you been? (Around the world and I'm back again)

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin' (Who's been askin' 'bout me?)

They been wonderin' why (In case you wonderin', ha)

Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him)

Tell me, where have you been? (Around the world and I'm back again)

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin' (Who's been askin' 'bout me?)

They been wonderin' why (In case you wonderin', ha)

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne & JAY-Z]

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'll 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-do"

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 (Young)

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

Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him)

Tell me, where have you been? (Around the world, now I'm back again)

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin' (Who's been askin' 'bout me?)

They been wonderin' 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 been askin', they been searchin' (Who's been askin' 'bout me?)

They been wonderin' why (In case you wonderin', yeah)

[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 Murciélagos

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, killer?" 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 been askin', they been searchin'

They been wonderin' why (Haha)

Hey, Mr. Carter (Amen)

Tell me, where have you been? (Hova)

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin' (Weezy)

They been wonderin' why (Baby)

Hey, Mr. Carter (Hahaha)

Tell me, where have you been? (I been hustlin')

'Cause they been askin', they been searchin' (Hustlin' hard)

They been wonderin' why (Yeah)

Hey, Mr. Carter

Tell me, where have you been?

'Cause they' been askin', they been searchin', they been wonderin' why

[Outro: Lil Wayne]

And I swear to everything, when I leave this Earth

It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirt

And you can try me, fucker, but when I squeeze, it hurt

Fine, we'll lose two lives, yours and mine

Give me any amount of time, don't let Ms. Carter grieve

At the funeral parlor, drippin' tears down my sleeve

Give me any amount of time, don't let Ms. Carter grieve
