Lil Wayne, Skys the Limit

You know I ride for my mo**********' n*****,
Most likely imma die with my finger on the trigga,
They tell me dont get high, and I should try to make a living,
I tell em' imma hustler and I'd rather make killin'
My eyes is so wide as he watchin the skillet,
I let my b**** bag it, if she steal it, imma kill her,
I bulletproof the ride, now I feel like armadillas,
And f*** ya, hospital, young money, we the illest,
And I aint gotta lie when I tell you im the illest,
My flow is nasty, like C Y Phyllis,
Self-made G, and them bi****s know the business.
Relying on rap, but in the kitchen I'm a chemist,
And when I was 5, my favorite movie was the Gremlins
Aint got s*** to do with this, but I just thought that I should mention,
You looking for devine and the little intervention,
And them birds don't fly, without my permission,
I'm probably in the sky, flying with the fishes,
Or maybe in the ocean, swimming with the pigeons,
See my world is different,
Like Dwayne Wayne,
And if you want trouble, b****, I want the same thang,

You know I ride for my mo**********' n*****,
Most likely imma die with my finger on the trigga,
Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till I get it
And tell all of my n***s that the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
And tell all of my n***s that the sky is the limit
Cuz the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
And if you look high, you see that im gonna be in it
The sky is the limit,

Buck Ten in the coupe, And your b**** love it,
Switching lanes faster than she switch subjects,
Tell a b***h don't talk to me,
And if you're talking to them n****s, don't talk for free,
And I hate when a n**** say talk is cheap,
Cuz im the type that let money talk for me,
My flow is art, unique,
My flow can part a sea,
The only thing on a mind of a shark, is eat,
By any means, and you're just sardine,
I got the 40 cal. Tucked in my p.r.ps.,
What do you expect, I'm from New Orleans,
And majority of my city is rowders,
They tried to make a brand new map without us,
But the tourists come down and spend too many dollars,
And no matter how you change it, it will still be ours,

You know I ride for my mo**********' n*****,
Most likely imma die with my finger on the trigga,
Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till I get it
And tell all of my n****s that the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
And imma tell all of my n****s that the sky is the limit,
Because the sky is the limit,
Yeah, the sky is the limit,
And if you look up high, you'll see that I'm gonna be in it,
Cuz the sky is the limit,

And you don't wanna f*** with a soldier,
Use your head, or I'll take it off ya shoulder,
Run up in your house and shoot everyone that's sitting on the livingroom sofa,
And you don't wanna f*** with a soldier,
Use your head, or ill take it off ya shoulder,
Mail it to your mom, put a dozen of roses,
And I'm a G,
And you aint gotta know the alphabet to see,
I know that my whole city is depending on me,
And I forget a lot of s***, but I could never forget the streets,

You know I ride for my mo**********' n*****,
Most likely imma die with my finger on the trigga,
Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till i get it
And tell all of my n****s that the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till i get it
And tell all of my n****s that the sky is the limit,
Because the sky is the limit,
Yeah, the sky is the limit,
And If you look high, you'll see that im gonna be in it,
Cuz the sky is the limit,
They tell me dont get high, and I should try to make a living,
I tell em' imma hustler and I'd rather make killin'
Cuz the sky is the limit,
Hands up in the air, because the sky is the limit,
Can you see me up there? The sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
If you don't know nothing about it, the sky is the limit

analysis:

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr, also known as Lil Wayne, was born on September 27, 1982. Lil Wayne was born in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. He is an American Grammy Award-winning rapper, he wrote is first rap at age eight. He always had a dream of being famous and having money. When he was about 14 years old, he dropped out of high school. He joined the group Hot Boys in 1997 when he was 15. In 1999, due to arguments over money, Lil Wayne went solo. He has a total of seven albums and one coming out next year. He also has ten mixed tapes. Many of his songs show emotion. One song in particular is Sky's the Limit.
Sky's the Limit is about how Lil Wayne didn't always make the best decisions and how he'll do anything for his friends. He also tell his friends they can do anything or get anywhere they want in life if they want if they try hard enough by saying the sky is the limit. In the first line, the first line in the chorus(hook), he says "You know I ride for my m*********** n******," which is figurative language because he’s telling his friends he'll back them up with anything and be there for them by saying he'll ride for them. In the second line, also the second line in the chorus, he says “Most likely imam die with my finger on the trigga,” which is foreshadowing, in a way. It’s foreshadow because he thinks he might die from getting shot for his friends or he’ll be in a fight and they both pull out guns and they shoot him. In line 7, “I bulletproof the ride, now I feel like armadillas,” is a simile because he comparing the outside of his car, or him, to be as hard as an armadillos shell. Line 10 is also a simile, “My flow is nasty,” is a pun because he doesn’t really mean he’s gross, he means that he’s amazing.
