[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's Tha Carter, motherfucker, I came back around

It's Tha Carter, motherfucker, I came back around

It's Tha Carter, motherfucker, yeah (Hah)

I'ma show you all my building, man (Yeah), it's Tha Carter

I'ma show you the ins, the outs, the ups, the down, know what I'm talking 'bout?

This is me, fourth solo album, baby, I came back around

By myself this time, back off the wall

Guns up in the air in the middle of the street like bang, bang, bang bang

[Verse]

Welcome, this is Tha Carter, y'all, welcome

Hard as Malcolm, dark as The Falcon, Lord help him

But y'all felt him

And that make you a part of me and pardon me

If a part of me is what you wanna be, what you oughta be

Doin', recording me or just actin' accordingly

I give orders to the commander in chief, just the commander in me

Handlin' streets in the Mandarin V

I hear you haters slanderin' me, I just hand 'em to P

Any drama, I pace it like Indiana

I take your grandma pacemaker and just hand her the piece

Not two fingers, I simultaneously pop two bangers

You do not want angus, USDA prime beef, you're dead meat

I'm so ahead of these trendy rappers, speed up

I'm already hot when another one startin' to heat up

Got Mannie hot with me 'cause I always beat his beat up

Y'all cats with y'all feet up startin' to look like V'd up

I'm G'd up on the re-up, in the truck, gotta put my seat up

In the trunk, I got my base and I ain't speakin' about no speakers

What's leakin' up out of your speakers is the speech of Weezy F. Baby

No more, no less, baby, so forth and so on, let's go

Front door, living room, young nigga switch and weave

What you need? Get you crack, get you weed

Make your way to the back, look ahead and see

White bitch in the bathroom givin' head for speed

Boy, don't you turn your head at me

The president been doin' it, then he tried to ruin it

But I built this building from the ruts

I own all the corners and the cuts in this motherfucker

And the feds know just what's in this motherfucker

Made niggas, so they can't bust in this motherfucker

So with that, let's keep it movin'

Onto the kitchen where my witches keep it brewin'

Uh-huh, look at how my bitches do it

Bucky-buck-naked, look at all my bitches' booties

Hah, they handle all my pharmaceutics

I got it, from promethazine to Metamucil

I'm crucial, don't mean to spook you

But this is New Orleans, so my queens do voodoo, you know?

So the things just move through

I feel your pain, I got things to soothe you

There's fields of 'caine, so Wayne in neutral

Don't hate the game, hate the institution

There's fields of 'caine, so Wayne in neutral

Don't hate the game, hate the institution, fucker

[Outro]

I came back around, it's Tha Carter

Show you the rest of the house later

We gonna go upstairs, you know?

You know what this is, right?

Tha Carter
