Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the Carter, motherfucker, I came back around
It's the Carter motherfucker I came back around
It's the Carter motherfucker
Let me show you my building man, it's the Carter
I'ma show y'all the ins the outs the ups the down, know what I'm talking bout
This is me, fourth solo album baby, I came back around
By myself this time, back off the wall
Guns up in the air in the middle of the streets like blak blak blak, welcome

This is the Carter y'all welcome, hard as Malcolm
Dark as the Falcon, Lord help him but y'all felt him
That make you a part of me and pardon me
If a part of me is what you want to be, what you ought to be
Doing, recording me, I'm just acting accordingly
I give orders to the commander in chief, just the commander in me
Handling streets in the Mandarin V
I hear you haters slandering me I just hand him the P
Any drama I pace it like Indiana, I take your grandma pacemaker and just handle the piece
Not two fingers I simultaneously bop two bangers
You do not want angus USDA prime beef, ya dead meat
I'm so ahead of these trendy rappers speed up
I'm already hot when another one starting to heat up
Got Mannie hot wit me cause I always beat his beat up
Y'all cats wit y'all feet up startin' to look like feet up, I'm G'd up
On the V'd up, in the truck, gotta put my seat up
In the trunk I got my bass and I ain't speaking bout no speakers
What's leaking up out yo speaker is the speech of Weezy F. Baby
No more no less, baby, so forth and so on (let's go)

Front door living room young nigga switching, we
What you need, get you crack, get you weed
Make yo way to the back, look ahead and see
White bitch in the bathroom giving head for speed
But don't you turn your head at me, the president been doing it
Daddy tried to ruin it
But I built this building from the ruts
I own all the corners and the cuts in this motherfucker
And the feds know just what's in this motherfucker
Made niggas so they can't bust in this motherfucker
So with that, let's keep it moving, onto the kitchen where my witches keep it brewing
Uh huh, look at how my bitches do it
Bucky buck naked, look at all my bitches booties
They handle all my pharmaceutics
I got it from promethazine to Metamucil
I'm crucial don't mean to spook you
But this is New Orleans so my queens do voodoo, ya know
So the things just move through
I feel ya pain, I got things to soothe you
There's fields of 'caine, so Wayne and neutral
Don't hate the game, hate the institution
There's fields of 'caine, so Wayne and neutral
Dot hate the game hate the institution, fucker

I came back around, it's the Carter
Show you the rest of the house later, we goin' go upstairs, ya know
Ya know what this is right?
Tha Carter, Tha Carter, Tha Carter
