About This Track

Lil Wayne and Gudda Gudda trade verses over a hard-hitting beat on 'Devastation', a track built on territorial posturing and competitive swagger. Gudda Gudda leads with the hook, anchoring the song around the contrast between his east side roots and his uptown connections, before laying down a verse that moves between threat and boast with equal ease. His delivery carries the weight of the opening half. Wayne enters for the second verse with characteristic aggression, his flow cutting across the beat with the kind of rhythmic precision that defines his best work. He moves quickly through a series of images, each one sharper than the last, the verses stacked with the kind of detail that rewards close listening. The track sits among the harder moments on the project, a showcase for both artists' ability to command a beat without needing much else.

"Devastation" is a track by Lil Wayne, from the album Dedication 5, released 1st September 2013. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lil Wayne.

Lyrics

Devastation

[Chorus: Gudda Gudda]

I'm a east side nigga but my homies from uptown

I'm a east side nigga but my homies from uptown

I'm a east side nigga

[Verse 1: Gudda Gudda]

I got the 2-2-3 cocked, I point it at yo' melon

Loose lips sink ships so ain't no motherfucking telling

I'm a east side nigga but my homies from uptown

Gas up the minivan, put the pumps in the trunk

Now I be sippin' on something, they got me tilt to the side

All black ski mask, red chinese eyes

Now I've been hungry for years, I'ma take yo' plate

I'ma eat yo' steak dead in yo' face

I woke up on a mission, I got 2 women I ride with

One named Nina and that yapper my side bitch

We size niggas up so wisely choose who you side with

Got something on my side that pack a kick – that's my sidekick

I'm about that paper, roll the dice and get paid

And they can't bite the hand I'm feeding with, I'm holding grenades

So I'ma talk my shit, I'ma live my life

I'ma nail yo' girl, shit, I did that twice

Gudda!

[Chorus: Gudda Gudda]

I'm a east side nigga

I'm a east side nigga but my homies from uptown

I'm a east side nigga but my homies from uptown

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Money don't make itself

These niggas gon' make me kill 'em

I should probably see a shrink but I'm afraid he'll make me little

I've been a beast since I could remember

I got too many hoes, that's my dilemma

Chop yo' fuckin' head off and put it on the front of my car like the emblem

Get 'em, I got Mike Banger on the beat, I got this banger on display

I just test-drove a new Lamborghini and got a A

Got a billion bitches, I'm lookin' for the one that got away

And since all these niggas watching, ask them for the time of day

Fuck y'all niggas I'm skating

Got yo' ho at the skate park waiting

That dick keep her coming back, motherfucking reincarnation

I don't want that pussy if it's spatious

Just give me fellatio

My bitch named Gigi give me head, I be like goodness gracious, fuck

Hi, my name is Tune, it's nice to eat ya

I still keep that gun like a secret

Another one bites the dust, would you like to eat it?

Boy I have the people looking for you like a reason uh

You don't want to hit my blunt 'cause I been eating pussy all day

This gun got a hair trigger, I pull this bitch 'til it's bald head

Ye ain't got no bars nigga

Recharge, you going dead

Can't kill me, I was born dead

Crowned of thorns head

Devil horns red, have my barn head

I'm a serial killer, yo' lucky charm dead

And that trash bag, they find you arm leg leg leg arm head

Oh what a tangled web we weave I feel like daddy long legs

Hop out that Ferrari Spider for my boys at Rikers and all my lifers

My bitch say my dick is great

But I make her say it like Tony the Tiger

I own a rifle and I'm on the edge

I bop bop and I'm ridin' off

I'm devastation, I'm Freddy Jason, Dedication 5, 5 stars

Tunechi
