A Dedication lyrics - Lil Wayne

[Andre Benjamin]

It's just my interpretation, of the situation

[Lil Wayne]

Yeah, and this is my dedication

What's poppin? (Dedication 4) hoe

And this is dedicated, first off

To my city (a dedication)

The lost city of New Orleans

But um, I wanna speak to my city

And I wanna let them know that

We can't be lost for long

And we damn sure can't be lost forever

So it's time to find ourselves

within all that water

Within all that dirt, within all that blood

Within all that pain, within all them cries

It's time to find ourselves

New Orleans, because

Memories are everything

When I say memories are everything, I mean

It's important what you are remembered by

And trust me

I, you, we don't wanna be remembered as the lost city

Rather be remembered as the city that found glory after all that tragedy

Strength, yeah!

Also I built a skate park down there to get them kids off the streets

You're welcome!! But ummmmm

We gotta get up mayne...

Fuck it! Rise above it, yeah

So, lotta people ask me, what'chu gon' do for yo' city

I be like - motherfucker? Ye' ain't hear what you just said?

What'chu gon' do for yo' city motherfucker?

That's my city! Therefore I still got family members, in that city mayne!

What the fuck I'ma do for THEM, y'knahmean?

And I do my best, trust me

And that's what the fuck I do for my city, yeah

I do this behalf of my city man

That's what the fuck I do for my city, I do me, for my city

So therefore, I am remembered by... my city

Ya dig?

And this is also dedicated to
