Mr. Carter

[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott & Lil Wayne]
Hey, Mr. Carter (Hello)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Haha, you know, hehe)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin'
They've been wonderin' why (I know, haha)
Hey, Mr. Carter (Hey, hello)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Shit, you know)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin'
They've been wonderin' why (Hahahah)

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
Yeah, to you forever, from me to you
E
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
E
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
E
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
E
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

[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott & Lil Wayne]
Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him!)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Around the world and I'm back again!)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searching (Who's been askin' about me?)
They've been wonderin' why (In case you wonderin', hah!)
Hey, Mr. Carter (I am him!)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Around the world now I'm back again!)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin' (Who's been askin' about me?)
They've been wonderin' why (In case you wonderin', hah!)

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Yeah, I been in and out the bank, bitch
E
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
E
I call 'em April babies, cause they fools
And when they snooze, we up!
Feet up, like a paraplegia
Or paraplegic? I parallel park
E
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 "Soo-woo" and "Da-da-doe"
I know my role and I play it well
E
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

[Chorus: Sha-ron Prescott & Jay-Z 2x]
Hey, Mr. Carter (Young! I am him)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Around the world now I'm back again)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin' (Who's been askin' about me?)
They've been wonderin' why (In case you wonderin')

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
I'm right here in my chair with my crown and my dear
E
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 in Murcielagos
E
I'm 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
E
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-
E
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
E
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!

[Chorus: Sha-Ron Prescott, Lil Wayne & Choir]
Hey, Mr. Carter (Amen)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Yeah)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin'
They've been wonderin' why (Haha)
Hey, Mr. Carter (Amen)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (Hova!)
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin' (Weezy)
They've been wonderin' why (Baby!)
Hey, Mr. Carter (Hahaha)
E
Tell me, where have you been? (I been hustlin')
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin' (Hustlin' hard)
They've been wonderin' why (Chyeah!)
Hey, Mr. Carter
E
Tell me, where have you been?
Cause they've been askin', they've been searchin'
They've been wonderin' why

[Outro: Lil Wayne]
And I swear to everythin', when I leave this Earth
E
It's gonna be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
And you can try me, fucker, but when I squeeze, it hurt
Fine, we'll lose two lives; yours and mine
Give me any amount of time, don't let Ms. Carter grieve
E
At the funeral parlor, drippin' tears down my sleeve
Give me any amount of time, don't let Ms. Carter grieve
