Riff: Lil Wayne – “Without You”

Jul 6, 2015

Do you ever miss me?/Do you ever wish we get it right and the rest is history?/I wish I could go back in time and fix my lack of time/Because back then I had to grind but see you thought I’d rather grind

from Without You lyrics by Lil Wayne

More uncontrollable sobbing, no wonder Birdman had his doubts. In fact he might even be talking about Birdman, and mulling over what went wrong. Wayne is living in cliche emotions, and none of it seems real or authentic. He’s bitten styles, and now he’s plagiarizing feelings, typical of a fading star.
