Successful Lyrics

This song was makes you think of your own personal meaning of success. Do you picture success as money and possessions or as strong relationships and making people happy. The song makes you question your interpretation. It is worth ruining your relationships for money and power? "Just enough will solve your problems, Too much'll kill ya" - Do you really need that much money? In the famous words of Biggie Smalls, "Mo money, mo problems". In reality, this is true. If you have all the money in the world but you cant build a strong relationship, you have nothing. "My girl love me but fuck it, my heart beats slow" - If you are more focused on money what is love worth to you? Can you still even feel love? "I'm everywhere these other niggas never been before, But inside I'm treading water trying to steadily swim to shore" - If you have everything you've every dreamed of, it still doesnt solve all of your emotional and family problems. Sometimes wealth can make you greedy and play with your emotions.

Now my personal oppinion: This song moves me. It makes me feel like I can do anything, but it makes me want to make a difference in people's lives at the same time. If I can have a career that changes lives while I still earn money is amazing. This song tells me to do what makes me happy and not to crush anyone to advance myself. ALSO: What the F*** is Lil Wayne doing in this song. I personally feel as though he blemished it with his verse at the end. Why is he talking about God damn owl shit.

Thanks for reading. Please reply.

I agree with joeshmo. You said it all. Kudos.

Thanks dude.

In all honesty I disagree completely. I think the entire song hinges on the way we interpret "owl shit" and how stinky it is. Could it be female sexual discharge? Cocaine? Pure unadulterated success juice? weezy4life bitch
