My tears is tatted,

from Kanye West (Ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz) – Welcome to the Jungle Lyrics on Rap Genius

It’s prison culture to get tears tattooed on your face when you’ve killed someone or spent time in jail.

Here and through the following 2 lines Jay is he actually talking about Lil' Wayne. “My tears are tatted, rag in my pocket. I’m just looking for love. I know somebody got it.” All 3 of those lines are relevant to Wayne. His tears are tatted. He is a known blood. And why do men join gangs? Looking for love.

Why is Wayne the only one he speaks of that is not dead yet?
