Right Above It (Edited) – Lil Wayne (李尔·韦恩)/Drake
Now tell me how ya love it
You know you at the top and all of heaven's right above it'
We on
Cuz we on
Who else really tryin' to f**k with Hollywood Co
I'm with Marley G bro
Flyin' Hollygrove chicks to my Hollywood shows
And I wanna tell you somethin' that you probably should know
This that "Slumdog millionaire" Bollywood flow and uh
My real friends never hear it from me
Fake friends write the wrong answers on the mirror for me
That's why I pick and choose
I don't get sh*t confused
I got a small circle
I'm not with different crews
We walk the same path' but got on different shoes
Live in the same buildin'' but we got different views
I got a couple cars' I never get to use
Don't like my women single
I like my chicks in twos
And these days all the girls is down to roll
I hit the strip club and all them b**ches find a pole
Plus I've been sippin' so this sh*t is movin' kinda slow
Just tell my girl to tell her friend that it's time to go
Now tell me how you love it
You know you at the top and all of heaven's right above it we on
It's young money motherf**ker if you ain't runnin' wit
It run from it motherf**ker alright
Now somebody show some money in this b**ch
And I got my bees with me like some honey in this b**ch' ya dig
I got my gun in my boo purse
And I don't bust back' because I shoot first
Meet me on the fresh train
Yes I'm in the buildin'
You just on the list of guest names
And all my riders do not give a f**k: X-Games
Guns turn you boys into pussies: sex change
And I smoke til' I got chest pains
And you niggas know I rep my gang like Jesse James
Women are possessive' and they wanna possess Wayne
I been flyin' so long I fell asleep on the f**kin plane
Skinny pants and some vans
Call me Triple-A get my advance in advance' Amen
As the world spin and dance in my hands
Life is a beach' I'm just playin' in the sand
Ugh
Wake up and smell the p**sy
You niggas can't see me' but never overlooked me
I'm on the paper trail there ain't no tellin' where it took me' yeah
And I ain't a killer' but don't push me
Now tell me how you love it
You know you at the top and all of heaven's right above it we on
It's young money motherf**ker if you ain't runnin' wit
It run from it motherf**ker alright
Now somebody show some money in this b**ch
And I got my bees with me like some honey in this b**ch' ya dig
I got my gun in my boo purse
And I don't bust back' because I shoot first
Ugh how do he say what's never said
Beautiful black women
I bet that b**ch look better red
Limpin' off tour cuz I made more on my second leg
Motherf**kin' Birdman junior' eleventh grade
Ball on automatic start
I can hand it to Drake or do a quarterback draw
Wildcat offense
Check the paw prints
We in da buildin'' you niggas in appartments
Ugh
N-now c'mon be my blood doner
My flow so nice you ain't even gotta put a rug on her
Do it big and let the small fall under that
Damn where you stumbled at
From where did they gumbo at
Came got the beat jumpin' like a jumpin' jack
And you know me
I get on this b**ch and have a heart attack
Hip-Hop I'm the heart of that
Ni**a nothin' short of that
President carter' young money democrat
Ugh
Now tell me how you love it
You know you at the top and all of heaven's right above it we on
It's young money motherf**ker if you ain't runnin' wit
It run from it motherf**ker alright
Now somebody show some money in this b**ch
And I got my bees with me like some honey in this b**ch' ya dig
I got my gun in my boo purse
And I don't bust back' because I shoot first
Yeah
We on
Young moola baby

《Right Above It》是美国说唱巨星 Lil Wayne 与 Drake 在2010年8月联手打造的一首经典嘻哈单曲,收录在 Lil Wayne 的第八张录音室专辑《I Am Not a Human Being》中。这首歌由 Kane Beatz 操刀制作,凭借其极具感染力的旋律和两位顶流说唱歌手的精彩配合,一经发行便横扫各大榜单,最高冲至美国 Billboard Hot 100 榜单第六名,并获得了双白金唱片的认证

创作背景

这首歌的诞生背景非常特殊且充满传奇色彩。2010年,Lil Wayne 正因非法持有武器罪在监狱服刑九个月。专辑《I Am Not a Human Being》中的大部分歌曲,包括这首《Right Above It》,都是在他入狱期间录制完成的
对于 Lil Wayne 来说,这首歌是他身处囹圄却依然保持“王者心态”的最佳证明。而当时的 Drake 正处于职业生涯极速上升的黄金期,这首歌的发布也让外界清晰地看到了 Drake 的崛起之势。两位 Young Money 厂牌的顶梁柱在这样一个特殊的时间节点合作,本身就带有一种“王者归来”与“新星闪耀”的双重意味。
值得一提的是,这首歌的前奏极具辨识度,它采样了传奇说唱歌手 2Pac 的经典歌曲《Hail Mary》中的一句人声:“I ain't a killer but don't push me”(我不是杀手,但别逼我)。这句充满警告意味的采样,为整首歌奠定了一种危险却又无比自信的基调。

表达含义

《Right Above It》是一首极具感染力的“胜利颂歌”和励志 anthem。它表达了站在人生巅峰的绝对自信、对成功的享受,以及对竞争对手的霸气碾压。
歌曲的核心表达,正如歌名和副歌所唱:“You know you at the top when only heaven's right above it”(当你身处巅峰,唯有天堂在你之上)。这句歌词直白地传递出一种“老子天下第一”的狂傲与满足感。
在歌词中,两位歌手从不同角度诠释了这种成功者的姿态:
Drake 的段落充满了少年得志的意气风发。他唱道自己带着好莱坞的排场,身边围绕着美女,同时保持着清醒的头脑,只与真正的“小圈子”朋友为伍,对虚情假意的“假朋友”不屑一顾。他享受着金钱、名声和美酒带来的慢节奏生活,展现出一种游刃有余的掌控感。
Lil Wayne 的段落则更加狂野和充满攻击性。他用一连串精彩的比喻和押韵,描绘了自己无所畏惧的形象——“枪在包里”、“先开枪后问话”。他调侃对手只是“名单上的客人”,而自己早已是这座大楼的主人。即使在监狱中,他依然保持着“飞得太久在飞机上睡着”的从容,并将生活比作沙滩,自己只是在沙中嬉戏。
总的来说,《Right Above It》不仅仅是一首炫技的嘻哈热单,更是一种强者心态的极致外化。它告诉听众,当你通过努力站上顶峰时,那种“唯我独尊”的自信和对生活的绝对掌控,就是对自己最好的奖赏。正因如此,这首歌后来也被选为 HBO 热门美剧《球手们》(Ballers)的主题曲,以及 UFC 冠军的出场音乐,完美契合了竞技体育中那种渴望胜利、追求极致的热血氛围
