Rap Lines That Make No Fu**ing Sense: More Rap, Less Sense

Lil Wayne - She Will

“Life on the edge, I’m dangling my feet / I tried to pay attention, but attention paid me.”

Lil Wayne goes for that Kung-Fu Master Flipped Widsom style (“Until you can master your fear, your fear will master you”) and, completely unsurprisingly, fucks up. Or just gets lazy. Probably both.

The best part is that Kung-Fu Master Flipped Wisdom Style is actually pretty easy to make work, at least on a figurative level. For example, he could have said, “I tried to go into prison, but prison went into me” and it would have actually been dope. Instead we get that nonsense above, good times.

See Also:

“I ordered a pizza, but pizza ordered me.”
“I tried to take a shit / but shit took me.”
“I thought I contracted herpes from a groupie / but instead the groupie contracted herpes from me.”

Actually, that last one’s probably completely accurate.
