As previously reported, Lil Wayne announced that his Tha Carter V album would be getting a new release date. Because he recorded too many songs, he decided to split the long-awaited effort into two parts rather than release one album with just 12 or 13 songs. During his update on the album's details, he shared a snippet of one of the singles off the upcoming record, "Gotti," which features The LOX (Jadakiss & Styles P). Now the full song has leaked.
Jadakiss and Style's P start off the track with a boom-bap-influenced beat before Wayne comes in over wailing electronic guitars and waxes nostalgic about his career beginnings.
"Bitch I come from a third world / Start rappin' in the 4th grade / Start trappin' in the 6th grade / Went platinum in the 10th grade / Dropped out a n***a getting paid / This when Birdman had a Fade / This when Hummers didn't come Stretch/ But Birdman had em' made," Wayne raps.
Tha Carter V: Part I is due out Dec. 9. As for Part II, Tunechi says, "Stay tuned for the next part of the album. It's gunna be crazy. I worked too hard. You're gunna love it. Cause I fucking love it, if you don't fucking love it then you don't fucking love 'love.'"
