It's a turning point in Dwayne's life - with bills to pay, he quits school to pursue music full-time." - Chris Dart, "Lil Wayne Playing With Fire"Īs the spitting image of the mother he proudly claims to be the voice of, the shared features between Wayne and Cita have never been clearer than on the cover of Tha Carter V. Wayne gets his first tattoo at age 14: "R.I.P. "In 1996, a few months after getting out of jail, Rabbit is shot dead outside of a New Orleans gas station. This is how a boy grows into a man at an unnatural rate. In a city where the block was hot and escape options were scarce, mother and son were abandoned by her first husband, beaten by the second, and had to bury the third all before Wayne turned 15. It shows how protective Wayne was over Cita from a very early age. The verse is necessary to understand the relationship between mother and son. Being forced to remove the standout deep cut put one of Wayne’s most bone-chilling verses at risk of vanishing far from the ears of future fans. Due to a copyright infringement lawsuit issued against “Playing With Fire” just two weeks after Tha Carter III was released, the version that’s currently on streaming services and retail shelves is different than the original that was shipped and sold to 2.3 million people within its first year.
