Written History Lyrics

[Intro: Muhammad Ali]

And I'm better now than I was when you saw that twenty-two-year-old undeveloped kid runnin' from Sonny Liston

I'm experienced now, professional, jaw's been broke, been lost

Knocked down a couple times, bad

Been choppin' trees, I done somethin' new for this fight

I done wrastled with an alligator, that's right

I have wrastled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale

I done handcuffed lightnin', throwed thunder in jail, that's bad

Bad dude, bad, fast, fast

I know you got him picked, but the man's in trouble

I'ma show you how great I am

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Ahem, you are now rockin' with the greatest, nigga

I'm the bеst, pound for pound, better weigh thеse niggas

They bite my style like some crocodiles and gators, nigga

Huh, you are now locked in with the greatest, nigga

I treat the booth like a boxing ring in Vegas, nigga

I speak the truth, my philosophy is greater, nigga

Don't eat the fruit without acknowledging the labor, nigga

Weezy Baby, nigga, rockin' since the cradle, nigga

Homey box office, HBO, cable, nigga

I'm unstable, nigga, at the dinner table, nigga

All I eat is rappers, I might have to Flavor Flav a nigga

That bitch ate a nigga, meat and potatoes, nigga

If she want some head, I'ma decapitate a nigga

Evaporate a nigga, eradicate a nigga

Slap you in your face like I'm playin' patty-cake, my nigga

Eat the cake, never beat a woman for Ms. Cita's sake

I beat the case, beat some pussy up and then delete, erase

Headshots from a hundred feet away, but your feet okay

Put you six feet away

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

I ain't gotta say this all the time, nigga

They know I'm the greatest of all time, nigga, yeah

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, uh

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, uh

If you love that nigga, better blame that nigga, uh

I'm up there, nigga, where you ain't at, nigga, yeah

Fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, girl

Don't fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga

She say, "Wayne that nigga"

[Interlude: Muhammad Ali & Lil Wayne]

Man's in trouble, I'ma show you how great I am

Yeah, oh

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

I ain't gotta say this every time, though

I'ma make a statement every time, though, ovation and the encore

I be lookin' in my kids' faces, where the time go?

They know I'm amazin' and they moms know

You know I'ma slay it every time, though

You know I ain't playin', nigga, I'm coach

You know that I'm fly, but never fly coach

You know I ain't payin' for your time, ho

This is not a bakery, don't ask me for no cake and shut your pie hole

Every day, I'm wakin' up with odd hoes, wakin' up in grind mode

Standin' on business like a base, Barry Bonds toes

You know that I'm safe wherever I go

You know I'm an ape in every Congo

You know I'm a freight train to a rhino

Bust a nigga grape like I'm a wine-o

Barrel make the Draco look like Gonzo

I ain't gotta say this to remind folks

They know I'm the greatest, even God know

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

I ain't gotta say this all the time, nigga

They know I'm the greatest of all time, nigga (Nigga), yeah

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga (Fuck that nigga), uh

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga (Fuck that nigga), uh

If you love that nigga, better blame that nigga (Yeah, yeah), uh

I'm up there, nigga, where you ain't at, nigga (Yeah, yeah), yeah

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, girl

Don't fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga

She say, "Wayne that nigga"

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]

Yeah, I ain't gotta say this all the time, nigga

They know I'm the greatest of all time, nigga

I'm like what MJ is to LeBron, nigga

Brady in his prime, nigga

I'm like Tom Brady at forty-five, nigga

I ain't even debatin' on retirin', nigga

You could get the shady .45, nigga

Born in the '80s, that's the greatest of all times, nigga

You know how us gators are, we grind, nigga

Great like Nick Saban, Roll Tide, nigga

I'm like Coach Prime, nigga

Come from poor times, nigga, now we pour Dom, nigga

Life is a beach, don't push me to the shoreline, nigga

Flow like cocaine, I give you some more lines

Niggas know they don't wan' see me like a sight for sore eyes, nigga

Your flow fine, nigga, mine's the best kind

Niggas know they ain't fuckin' with my bars like ex-cons, nigga

Yeah, it's flex time, nigga

Look in the mirror and say "Carter" six times, nigga

Big time, nigga, no tick-tock, just bombs, nigga

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

I ain't gotta say this all the time, nigga

They know I'm the greatest of all time, nigga, yeah

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, uh (Yeah)

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, uh (Yeah)

If you love that nigga, better blame that nigga, uh (Yeah)

I'm up there, nigga, where you ain't at, nigga, yeah

So fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga, girl

Don't fuck that nigga if I ain't that nigga

She say, "Wayne that nigga," the greatest
