| Lil' Wayne – Hot Revolver Lyrics | 17 years ago |

"I tell em baby im a star Shit Im above a star and now I done got so high I did forgotten who you are (are,are)" Lil' Wayne's talking about how he's caught up in the Hollywood "star" life. Comparing himself as even higher than just any celeb. When he says "I done got so high" he's talking about being so intoxicated on Celeb-Life he's delusional. Which explains the broken English in the last line. "I done got so high, I did forgotten, who you are". Similar to slurred speech when you're drunk, or high off your weapon of choice. You're like a hot revolver (hot revolver) But you aint killin no one but yourself and so shes gone to party town on her own And you go by yourself so all alone Anyone that has shot a gun before can you tell you that after putting through enough rounds the gun gets very hot and its easy to burn yourself. Which explains "But you ain't killin' no one/but yourself". He's talking about hurting himself and everyone around him. Which is why "I told her I can be with her/ But I can't be with her" Another thing I realized, I'm not sure if Weezy meant this, but a revolver has a rotating cylinder. Every time the trigger is pulled, this cylinder "revolves". And it keeps rotating over and over and over, even if you're out of ammo. I took it as a symbolism of an eternal vicious cycle. |
