Riff: Lil Wayne – “Post Bail Ballin”

Jul 6, 2015

Ooh, sharks in the crib and in the back yard/Elevator in the house, never got stuck/I just looked in the mirror, got star struck/I just looked at your bitch and got eye fucked

from Post Bail Ballin lyrics by Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne proves yet again that the well is running dry. It’s a news flash of undramatic proportions; Wayne is rich and famous and wants the world to know. The irony is that it’s his fame that’s isolating him and making inspiration hard to come by, a double edged sword for him to fall back on.
