Military-minded, lost and can't find it Lil Wayne – God Bless Amerika

Possibly a double entendre.

1) America is very military minded, and this song is in part about America. Americans are military minded, they are lost because of it.

2) A reference to P.T.S.D (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Lil Wayne is saying that he is stressed, and that he has lost his mind.

This line is reminiscent of the first line of this song, where he states that his “mind is filled with mine fields.”

I think this could also reflect the author’s 9-to-5 occupation: he was a teacher –not at high-school, but a teacher anyway–. That is, he’s not a teenager anymore, but he still has the “teenage FBI” watching him.

“Teenage FBI” is the first song on Do the Collapse. It was released as the first promotional single from the album in the United States, but was only given a commercial single released in the UK and Australia. The song was debuted live in September 1996, almost three years before the album’s release.

An earlier, much shorter version of this song appears on the 1997 EP Wish in One Hand…. It was that earlier version that would appear on the best-of Human Amusements at Hourly Rates in 2003. In addition, a different demo of the song was released on the UK single for “Hold on Hope” in November 1999.

It would later be featured in the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and on the soundtrack of NCAA Football 06.

As teenagers, we do things we don’t want to do. A big reason for this is that the “teenage FBI” watches you.

Given Pollard’s long and storied relationship with the bottle, I cannot help but wonder if the song (and this line in particular) isn’t about alcoholism. When alcohol is around him, he’s “somebody else” doing things he no longer “wants to do”

Homeboy is a generous person. He still spends the same as before he was famous, he just gives the rest away to the needy. Left over is also a play on the word leftover from the last line.

Buddhism is a philosophy that teaches enlightenment (peaceful), while Judas betrayed Jesus in the Bible by turning him over to the chief priests for his eventual crucifixion (deceitful).

Soulja’s previous phone number. Due to the amount of phone calls, messages, and texts he received, he was forced to cut it off and get a new one. Maybe next time, try not to put it in one of your singles, Soulja.
