[Intro: Soul Sample Croons Slow and Haunted (“Reee-laxxx…”), Strings Stab Sharp, 808s Drop Like Gunshots]
Yeah…
Dot…
You got the world hyped, huh?
But it’s Tunechi…
Relax…
(Strings crescendo, 808s rumble deep)
Carter forever…
[Chorus: Lil Wayne – Auto-Tuned Snarl Over Crushing 808s, Soul Sample Chopped and Pitch-Shifted on “Relax”]
Relax, lil homie, you ain’t built for this pressure (Nah!)
All that preaching on the stage, but you still second-guesser (Facts!)
I been the king since you was in diapers, compressor
Carter eternal, you just a good semester (Woo!)
Relax… relax… (Soul sample echoes)
You dropped a classic? Cool, I dropped a dynasty
You won the battle, but the war still mine, see
Relax… relax…
Tunechi!
[Verse 1: Lil Wayne – Rapid-Fire Multis, Gangsta Flow, 808s Sliding Menacingly, Strings Sawing Aggressively]
You came for the 6 God, thought you cleared the board,
But forgot ‘bout the Martian who been waging war.
I taught Drake the game, now you biting the style,
Super Bowl stage? I did that with a smile (Super Bowl!).
You talk West Coast kings, but New Orleans crowned me,
Hot Boys to billion, that’s real OG.
You dropped Mr. Morale, cried about your pain,
I dropped Tha Carter III and changed the game (Classic!).
Pulitzer prize? Cute, I got street credentials,
You therapizing rap, I’m collecting residuals.
You called yourself the greatest after one damn pop,
I been the greatest since the dreads in the locs (Since Drought 3!).
Control verse woke ‘em, but I been wide awake,
You just renting the throne, I own the estate.
Relax, Kendrick—go sit with the students,
I’m the professor, eternal, undisputed.
[Chorus: Lil Wayne – Hook Hits Harder, Strings Soar Epic, Soul Sample Screams “Relax” in Falsetto]
Relax, lil homie, you ain’t built for this pressure (Pressure!)
All that preaching on the stage, but you still second-guesser (Guess!)
I been the king since you was in diapers, compressor
Carter eternal, you just a good semester (Short!)
Relax… relax… (Echoes deep)
You dropped a classic? Cool, I dropped a dynasty
You won the battle, but the war still mine, see
Relax… relax…
Young Money!
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne – Slower, Sinister Delivery Building to Explosion, 808s Roll Like Tanks, Strings Swell Cinematic]
You said “Not Like Us,” but look who it fit—
A conscious rapper beefing for clicks and a hit.
I stayed out the drama, watched you dance on the grave,
But now you feeling froggy? Then leap to your fade.
Compton raised you, but Cash Money made me,
From juvenile to GOAT, that’s longevity.
You mad ‘cause the culture keep calling me best,
Even your heroes say Wayne passed the test (Birdman voice: “Respek!”).
I skateboard on beats, you sermon on ‘em,
I birth whole waves, you just surf on ‘em.
Damn. was fire, but Carter V still breathing,
You dropped one bomb, I dropped seasons.
You want the crown? Come take it from the rafters,
I been holding it down through disasters and laughter.
Relax…
