Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter VI week has been filled with surprises. After enlisting Nicki Minaj for the “Banned From NO (Remix),” Weezy returned 24 hours later on Thursday (June 12) to clash with Lil Baby and Future on “Momma Don’t Worry.”
Future handles chorus duties on the somber track, which finds the trio calming their mothers’ worries, assuring them at their turbulent upbringings prepared them for the callousness of life.
“Momma, don’t worry, I got my pistol/ I’m gettin’ my dollars, you birthed a real n—a/ Told my daddy, ‘Don’t be sorry, I’m not gon’ blame you’/ If it weren’t for struggle, my dreams, they wouldn’t came true,” Future raps.
Baby takes the baton and continues with the same theme, speaking directly to his mother. “Told Momma, ‘Don’t worry, you know you raised a hard body’/ Granny called the other day, said, ‘Don’t scratch ’cause God got you,’” he asserts.
Weezy joins the mix and addresses the lack of a relationship with his father, who was absent from his life following a divorce from Wayne’s mom. “Told my daddy, ‘I don’t blame you, neither claim you’/ You was never in the picture, somebody framed you/ Mom’s bought my first pistol, brought me to the range too,” he spews.
Lil Baby and Weezy have teamed up for tracks like “Forever” in the past, while the New Orleans rap legend has an extensive history with Future, uniting with him on songs including “Love Me,” “After That,” “Oxy” and the “Karate Chop (Remix).”
Tha Carter VI arrived on Friday (June 6) featuring assists from Kodak Black, MGK, Bono, BigXthaPlug, Jelly Roll and Big Sean.
