[Refrain: Lil Wayne] What's harder, life or Mr. Carter? Balling 'til my hair is as white as Johnny Carson You don't have to beg because I'm fresh out of pardons Little voices in my head said, "Don't mind the little voices," woah [Verse 1: Lil Wayne] What's sharper, spikes or Mr. Carter? I ride for this shit like a knight in shining armor I pile up the swishers, roll 'em tight like UnderArmour Coming from this neighborhood, it's just like coming from comas I got homies from the old school and we been lost our diplomas Got some hoes from California and they shit smell like begonia's Got a bone to pick, I'm boneless, that's a bonus Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, pop up at the spur of the moment, how you want it? When in Hell, I'm a Roman; head on fire, I'm a comet Heat up out my abdomen, and you know it Man I'm all about my business, business handle business for me I know you know life's a bitch, I turned her to a business woman, mind your business I'm like, "What's harder, life or Mr. Carter? What's higher, the price or Mr. Carter? Should I call you Mystery? Because I'm right here to solve you If you start to smell fear or fright, I sprayed it on you" I made it, I made it with you, you hate it, I made it, on you You know the streets talk, my nigga, I made 'em argue Niggas faded away, I light one and get faded for you I'm reclinin', Weezy Baby, La-Z-Boy, do they enjoy you? [Refrain: Lil Wayne] I'm like, "What's harder, life or Mr. Carter? Yeah, uh What's shorter, life or Mr. Carter? Haha" I ask, "What's harder, jail or Mr. Carter? School or Mr. Carter? Rules or Mr. Carter? Man, what's harder, drugs or Mr. Carter? Judge or Mr. Carter? Mr. Carter, huh?" [Verse 2: Lil Wayne] What's harder, love or Mr. Carter? Especially when these hoes ain't right, these hoes ain't loyal Shit, what's wrong or right? And what's the order? I know this AK will get shit right and fix the toilet I'll be a-okay as long as my wife could cook a quarter The type of shit I won't take for granted, need the marble See, you can't believe in all of the hype you hear at the barber If the odds are stacked against us, they're likely to stack 'em on us Lil Tune, aka no cartoon, no Hanna-Barbera I ain't steal it, I took it, I ain't crooked, I'm cater-cornered And if my fruits of labor were ripe, I would have an orchard But I'm nauseous from my ups-and-downs and back-and-forwards Shit, Mr. Carter, eyes are always on you Throw a five in the air for C5 like, "Hi, how are you?" Shit, what's harder, drugs or Mr. Carter? The world is on my shoulder, I shrug to get it off from 'em, shit What's harder, life or Mr. Carter? Tune in this bitch, let's spike the Holy Water Tryna stay grounded, my flights said no departures Shit, what's harder, murder or abortion? Woah What's harder, death or Mr. Carter? Is it easier to play deaf or to listen harder? I'm like, "Girl, what's harder than life for Mr. Carter? Shit get hard, but I'm a termite to turmoil" What's easier, to change diapers or back to normal? Times are changing like Father Time just lost his father What's harder, to ask for sorrow or to borrow? Or to propose and get "I don't know"? I don't know [Outro: Christina Milian] What's harder than being Mrs. Carter? What's harder than being Mrs. Carter? What's harder than being Mrs. Carter? What's harder than being Mr. Carter? Uh, what's harder than being Mr. Carter? What's harder than being Mr. Carter? What's harder than being Mr. Carter? What's harder than being Mr. Carter? Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
