I got bars, no railings

from Lil Wayne (Ft. Birdman) – No Ceilings Lyrics on Rap Genius

A bar is a measure of music: 4 beats in standard 4/4 time. Wayne can rap all day, he’s a lyric machine…no railings enclose his bars

“No railings” reminds us that Weezy’s flow is effortless; he falls behind, catches up, reinvents rhyme schemes mid-verse. Weezy is beyond formal rules — essentially, railings are to his flow what ceilings are to his success

Since he was about to go to jail while this mixtape was being recorded, he also had literal “bars”, the bars of a prison cell
