"Weezy F Baby & the 'F' is for find out."
Over the course of Lil Wayne’s career - he has consistently told us what the
“F”
in
Weezy F Baby
stands for. So I decided to break down the many things the “F” stands for.
Things That Don’t Start with F
Jokes on you - sometimes the “F” doesn’t stand for a word that starts with an F. He infamously refers to himself as
“Weezy F Baby and the F is for Phenomenal”
in
with Pharrell. The other two begin with the instruction “don’t forget” in
Turnin’ Me On
with Keri Hilson and
The F Stands for a lot of Things
In this case, Lil Wayne is allowing you to paint a picture. He is saying “Here, dear listener. I’ll tell you this much, my middle name begins with an F, the rest is up to you.” You can
fill in the blank, find out
or pick between
faithful, funky, freshly, flavor, flawless, fleek, finesse,
or
finagle
- like he instructs on
on the
Dedication 6.
- The F is Find Out
- Fill in the Blank
- For a Bunch of Shit
What the F isn't for
At times, Weezy F. Baby needs to remind us what the “F” isn’t for. This is a great lense into the artist’s mind - these are the things that Dwayne Michael Carter genuinely dislikes and would like us to keep away from his name.
- Fear
- Failing
Things Lil Wayne Would Like you to do
Tunechi would like for you to - “fornicate” in both
and
.
Then in the Bow Wow song
Sweat
-
he’d like you to “follow me straight to my condo.”
- Forget It
How He Feels
Sometimes the “F” is just here to let you know how he feels. In
Miss Me
alongside Drake it meant “ferocious,” then in
Whip It
he’s “the ample fury.”
- Fortunate
- Fly
- Fascinate
Variations of Fuck
“Fuck” is a word of 16th century Germanic origin. Weezy uses this term to evoke deep emotions from the listener. The “F” is to fuck yourself on
,
but could also mean fucking fantastic on
off
Tha Carter III.
- fuck what your're going through
- fuck them hoes
- fuck you
- fucking fantastic
- fuck yourself
- Fuck, what you gonna do?
Obsession with Finish and Forensics
In almost Shakespearean terms Weezy is often referring to the finishing of things and to blood flow. In
6 foot 7 foot
it stands for
Finisher
- then
Forensics
in
Wasted
off
No Ceilings.
- Flow
- Finishline
Ungroupable
These are the final ungroupable four, some artists are simply too abstract to understand. One can assume
FEMA
came to mention after the horrendous job they did in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina. I presume that he used “front door” in
as a metaphor for the possibilities that come along with every moment you walk into a new door. With every word that comes out of Weezy F Baby’s mouth he is reminding us of the possible joys in the world, as well as the inevitable demise that lies in our future. The final “F” that I’ll list is “forever boy” off of the 2009 hit
I Told Y’all
- because Weezy was right, he’s "Weezy F Baby and the F is for
Forever, Boy."
- FEMA
- Franchise
- Flames, five
