Lil Wayne Ft. Rick Ross John: My Response PART 2

In his song, John, Lil Wayne says “Money don’t sleep so he can’t rest”. I think he means that if his money is in action, being made, it is not sleeping. He sounds like he wants to spend as much time awake as possible making money.  He probably can’t rest for because he is worried about his money. He might be worried about people doing whatever it takes to get a piece of the green. No vegetable.  He probably also wants to stay awake because he is a hard worker. 

I also like how Rick Ross refers to himself as a Santa. As Santa, Rick Ross says his gifts would be for all of his enemies. This is similar to santa because he also gives coal to his enemies. Santa’s enemies are anyone who chooses to be naughty.  Rick Ross may be naughty but still he gives gifts to people who are naughty. Maybe I am wrong, maybe his gifts are substances. You can look at this song in so many ways. I enjoyed it.

Lil Wayne Ft. Rick Ross John: My Response

I enjoyed the John video and song because it was entertaining with lots of figurative language. At the beginning, it sounds like an alien invasion is about to begin. The music playing is so dramatic just like some brand new creature is coming into discovery. I feel like if I saw a new creature come into this video, I would not expect it to be friendly. I would expect this mean creature to have saber teeth with diamonds at the end of the fangs. The fangs would say Weezy’s Alien Wombat.

 Lil Wayne also brags about the girls he called in jail but doesn’t give them too much attention so that they can keep coming back. “If she get greedy, imma starve her to death” ,Lil Wayne. This sounds like something I might hear on a pickup artist website. Sounds like Lil Wayne picked up girls in jail by talking to them for a while until they got “greedy”. Next, I guess he made himself unavailable by not picking up the phone.  Lil Wayne sounds like a jail phone macdaddy. When he wasn’t on the phone, he was probably busy writing the lyrics to the current mixtape. Rick Ross also did a lot of heavy breathing. Maybe it was his breath swag.
