About This Track

Wayne frames devotion as clarity. 'Main Things' opens with DJ Drama's voice coaching him through the logic of commitment: if she is his main thing, she can trust him enough to step away from the noise. The song builds from that premise into a portrait of a woman who wants substance over status, who cares about loyalty and presence rather than the trappings of wealth or the jealousy of an open phone. The production sits back. Wayne's flow moves between conversational and reflective, moving through verses that catalogue small intimacies (her special contact name, the way she moves) and larger promises (faithfulness, certainty). He circles the same idea across multiple bridges and choruses: that real partnership means choosing the person, not the performance. The song doesn't strain for profundity. It simply insists that the main thing is the main thing.

"Main Things" is a track by Lil Wayne, from the album Dedication 6: Reloaded, released 26th January 2018. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lil Wayne.

Lyrics

Main Things

[Intro: DJ Drama & Lil Wayne]

You see?

The goal is just to raise the babies right

Wayne babies, that is

You guys are maturing so much!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's crazy how you look like your dad

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tunechi, I must say, job well done

Yeah

And I just told my main thing "Since you my main thing

You can turn yo' phone off and let your name ring"

6 shit

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I just told my main thing "Since you my main thing"

DJ Drama

Bitch I won the race

[Bridge 1: Lil Wayne]

All I ever wanted was to tell her she was all I ever wanted

Wake up to her every morning, last night we can't recall it

Every day she catchin' feelings, every night I throw a party

She done died and went to heaven, I forgot to close the coffin

I'm just lookin' for lil' sexy to direct me from the horror

They ain't promisin' tomorrow but she promisin' she loyal

So I promise to be faithful

Yeah, Lil Weezy; "F" for "Faithful, Funky, Freaky, Freshly Flavored

Flawless, Fleek, Finesse, Finagle"

[Chorus 1: Lil Wayne]

I just tell my main ting "Since you my main ting

You can turn your phone off and let your name ring

We can take them clothes off and let that thang breathe

Hold me as I doze off, you know I drank lean"

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

I just poured a whole deuce inside a 16

Cried my whole heart out, she cried with me

She like to put the top down and tell me "Let 'em see"

She like to leave the doors up, they look like referees

She like to throw it back until she got back pains

She got her own little special contact name

She take it in the ass, ain't worryin' 'bout the crack game

Me, her, plus another bitch, she don't care if the math change

Yeah, I just poured a whole deuce inside a 16

Got her reppin' suwoo, she reppin' big Bs

And she ain't worryin' 'bout fuckin' on a private plane

And she don't do the phone thing, she do the finer things

It's all about deserving things and not designer things

She all about her certain ring and not all kind of rings

All about the sure things and not the shiny things

Man, she so tired of swervin' niggas, need a tire change

[Bridge 2: Lil Wayne]

All I ever wanted was to tell her she was all I ever wanted

Wake up to her every morning, last night we can't recall it

She lay down and close her eyes, fall asleep open hearted

She done died and went to heaven, I forgot to close the coffin

I'm just lookin' for lil' sexy to direct me from the sorrow

They ain't promisin' tomorrow but she promise to be loyal

So I promise to be faithful, but I'm prolly not gon' chase you

Sit down on my dinner table, eat that pussy like it's catered

[Chorus 2: Lil Wayne]

I just tell my main ting "Since you my main ting

You can turn your phone off and let your name ring

You can scratch yo' goals off and you can thank me

Hold me as I doze off, you know I drank lean"

I just told my main thing "Since you my main thing

Let them have the fame thing 'cause it's the same thing

You can take them clothes off and let that thang breathe

Hold me as I doze off, you know I drank lean"

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

I just poured a whole deuce inside a 16

Yeah she reppin' two countries, yeah she mixed breed

Got her smokin' rapper weed, tryna spit Vs

She been goin' 30 minutes, she just switched knees

Uh, pimpin' ain't easy but it's necessary

Pimpin' ain't dead, check the cemetery

If I tell you that I love you, I ain't lying girl

So worry 'bout yourself and not the other bitch I'm tellin'

[Bridge 3: Lil Wayne]

All I ever wanted was to tell her she was all I ever wanted

Wake up to her every morning, last night was all recorded

Every day she catchin' feelings, every night I throw a party

That's that "Fire and Desire", I forgot to throw her water

I'm just lookin' for lil' sexy to direct me from the horror

They ain't promisin' tomorrow but she promise that she loyal

So I promise to be faithful

Yeah, Lil Weezy; F for faithful, funky, freaky, freshly flavored

Flawless, fleek, finesse, finagle and fatal
