We are not the same I am a alien
Like Gonzales

from Lil Wayne – Phone Home Lyrics on Rap Genius

Lil; Wayne replaces the word ‘Martian’, from a popular phrase of his (“We are not the same I am a Martian”) with ‘Alien’ or to relate himself to Elian Gonzales, a 5 year old sole survivor of a refugee boat that sunk in a storm on its way to the States. Elian, now in Cuba, with his Father, is seen as a hero

Ironically Elian is an Alien, in the legal sense, as he stayed with relatives in Florida without having permission from the country. As we know Wayne also likes to refer to himself as an Alien (Martian).

Wayne’s one to persevere, fight and survive; natural disasters aint enough to stop him!
