About This Track

Lil Wayne sets the tone with a brief intro that frames the track as part of the Carter IV project, positioning himself as operating on a different plane entirely. The production by Willy Will provides the foundation for what follows: a showcase of guest verses that prioritises velocity and technical precision over conventional song structure. Tech N9ne arrives first with a rapid-fire display of wordplay and boasting, name-checking Strange Music and crediting Lil Wayne with elevating his profile. André 3000 follows with a more abstract approach, trading in vivid imagery and lateral thinking rather than straightforward braggadocio. The track functions less as a cohesive song and more as a brief collision between three distinct voices, each operating at their own level of intensity. It's an interlude in the truest sense: a palate-cleanser that prioritises the spectacle of technical skill over melodic or thematic unity.

"Interlude" is a track by Lil Wayne, released 29th August 2011. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lil Wayne.

Lyrics

Interlude

[Produced by Willy Will]

[Intro: Lil Wayne]

Carter IV, it's on

Yeah, it sound like that Lil', man, they be like "Wayne

That nigga right over there, that nigga's from another planet"

Cut the weed, pop-pop

Insanity shit, niggas from this planet can't see

U-u-u-u-uh

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]

Hot's what it is (Yeah), watch what the kid drops

I'ma get the prop if you're not with the biz

Not only other regions, I really popped at the crib

So hatin' motherfuckers, you better stop with the jibs (Yeah)

Off of the thizz, but I'm boss, it don't matter

What the cost when I live right across from the Wiz (Yeah)

Killa City will have a nigga lost in the Mid

Leavin' nothin' but mothers stuck and plus a coffin to give (Yeah)

What is happening is a merger, different levels of murder

Lil Weezy cookin' and I'm a server

Further (Yeah), that's what I'ma get doing this

Remember when eating Gerber, mama said to kill 'em all and I heard her

Thank you Baby for what became Lil Wayne

He's gettin' all the people knowin' that Strange in the game (Yeah)

I been really able to hang in the fame

But when he shouted my name, it's been a change in my lane (Rrr)

I'm a Klusterfuk and lovin' nothin'

But to get your brain

And I be stuck in lust and quick to a bust a nut, and

Take a nigga's dame with no shame (Rrr)

Really be bussin' up, they thinkin' they thuggin' tough

But never do knuckle up, you in the gang, you bang

You drug and touchin' every thang, you lame

Sucka, you cannot sustain the reign (Yeah)

Tech N9ne is such a cuckoo in this (Yeah)

Ballin' nigga, Strange Music

Crew threw swishes

I know a lot of you prolly never

Knew who this is

Well, you listenin' to Tecca Nina

Soo Woo bidness

[Verse 2: André 3000]

Today, I feel electric gray

I hope tomorrow neon black

I tell a nigga, "All those flows are borrowed"

It's the pharaoh, Three Stacks

I woke up in Cairo, lookin' at stars

So bright in the sky, I thought they were marbles (Yeah)

No car doors, whatcha call those?

A whole carload of raw hoes

In a Jeep Defender

Please remember, don't feed the Simba

Three's assembled like nobody

He's a symbol of what's safari

Pulled her ponytail to my body

She's the only girl that was smart e-nough

To call me 'Mr. Benjamin'

In the middle of a wild party

Skin was cinnamon; I pound it harder

How come the only girls that are thought of

Are the light ones? Well, tonight then

We gon' do it, do it, do it for the dark ones

It's important that you are more than

Welcome to Tha Carter IV and

Y'all enjoy it, I will go 'head

And I'll kiss y'all on y'all forehead, out
