Mr. Carter Lyrics
[Intro: Lil Wayne]
Yo, Drew and Inf, this right here is crazy
I feel big, you know what I mean?
Like not big in the sense of weight, you know what I mean?
Like gainin' weight or nothin' like that, like colossal
Know what I mean, like (*sighs*)
I heard you were lookin' for me
[Hook: Sha-ron Prescott (Lil Wayne)]
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 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
They've been wondering why (Hahahah)
[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 tryin' to 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 being hated by the seasons
So fuck y'all who hatin' for no reason
[Hook: 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'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]
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 them April babies, ‘cause they fools
And when they snooze, we up
Feet up, like a parapleguc
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 "Su-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
[Hook: 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 to Murcielago
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
[Hook: Sha-ron Prescott (Lil Wayne)]
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)
Hey, Mr. Carter (Amen)
Tell me, where have you been? (Hova!)
'Cause they've been asking, they've been searching (Weezy)
They've been wondering why? (Baby!)
[Hook: Choir (Lil Wayne)]
Hey, Mr. Carter (Hahaha)
Tell me, where have you been? (I been hustlin')
'Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
(Hustlin' hard) They've been wondering why?
(Chyeaa) Hey, Mr. Carter
Tell me, where have you been?
'Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
They've been wondering why?
[Outro: Lil Wayne]
And I swear to everything, when I leave this Earth
It's gonna be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
And you can try me, fucker, but when I squeeze, it hurt
Ahh, 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
Yo, Drew and Inf, this right here is crazy
I feel big, you know what I mean?
Like not big in the sense of weight, you know what I mean?
Like gainin' weight or nothin' like that, like colossal

hahaha 'beatlejuice' three times in a song? really? It's hard to take him seriously.
this whole album is so ridiculous, I can't believe that it was so anticipated.

he says beetlejuice 3 times because in the movie, you have to say it 3 times to make him come. wow. you really know what your talking about. dont diss lil wayne.

i have one question...
in the first verse you have I heard somebody said church, I'ma need a suit
it sounds like he says i heard somebody said judge, I'ma need a sue....
anyone else?
yeah i got what you saying. it does sound like judge ima need to sue. cause thats what i thought it said, but i guess it dont.

No, I agree with the lyrics, "I heard somebody said church, I'ma need a suit ", it would work the way you put it though.
My question is from the Jay verse, "The Biggie's and the Pac's and the Marley's and the Marcuses", which Marcus is he talking about?
He is talking about Marcus Garvey. After he said the Marcuses he said Garvey

My question is from the Jay verse, "The Biggie's and the Pac's and the Marley's and the Marcuses", which Marcus is he talking about?
@imtherilldill I assumed he was talking about Marcus Garvey.

Are you sure it isn't "I heard somebody said church, I'ma need it soon"?
positive

imtherilldill, He's talking about Marcus Garvey, he says it right after that part.
the verse where he says "i suck a pussy/ fuck a pussy/ leave it there/ long hair don't even care"
what does that mean?
He hits it like sex and quits it and he doesn't care about gair down there
He hits it like sex and quits it and he doesn't care about gair down there
i've always heard i suck a pussy, fuck a pussy, leave it bare. i've never heard leave it there. but like nicholas says, its basically him having sex with someone whether its hairy or not.

"hahaha 'beatlejuice' three times in a song? really? It's hard to take him seriously.

Rescinded you moron...
The reason why he says it three times is because you have to say his name three times to summon him in the movie.
That's one of my favorite lines from Wayne, simply because I'm a big fan of the movie Beetlejuice.
His whole album is great i only know of about two songs that I don't listen to.
i think he knows that you say that in the movie .. but umm i think he's just pointinq out that it's a wack line that has nothinq to do with anythinq ..
