On the 13th song of No Ceilings 3, Lil Wayne teams up with Vice Versa over the drill beat of “Shake The Room” by Pop Smoke and Quavo from Meet The Woo 2.

This song, similar to “OUT WEST,” may have been originally over another beat that was swapped out for its placement on No Ceilings 3, as Vice Versa posted on Instagram in September 2018 that they had a collaboration with Wayne for Tha Carter V which was never released.

“Something Different” is a remix of Drake’s 2020 hit “Laugh Now Cry Later,” which features Lil Durk. In this song, Lil Wayne talks about how his relationship with a specific girl has changed.

A week after NC3’s release, Wayne released the music video for the song, directed by himself, without Khaled’s DJ drops on it.

I'm boutta feel like the cameraman, nigga
'Cause I'm 'bout to shoot with a Canon (Yeah)
I got the Uzi with the banana clip

While most of the first half of this verse is merely comprised of clever “I will shoot wherever you are” metaphors and similes, these two lines specifically also make reference to Lil Uzi Vert and Don Cannon while doing so as a double-entendre. And, by a stretch perhaps, the latter line may also reference Uzi’s recent collaborator Adamn Killa.

The first line here makes reference to cameramen shooting photos, incorporating popular camera-brand Canon into the bar. The second line is a metaphor where Wayne pretends a banana clip actually shoots bananas (which Wayne has done before), so the person on the receiving end gets the fruit (bullet).

Out West Lil Wayne (Ft. Young Thug) – Out West

“OUT WEST” is a remix of the Travis Scott and Young Thug collaboration of the same name, featuring the star of the original song.

Young Thug’s vocals on the song date back to 2017, before Scott’s “OUT WEST” was even made, and were originally previewed over another beat produced by BricksDaMane, on a song which featured a different verse from Wayne, along with one from Euro as well. The unreleased track was supposedly set to appear on Wayne’s previous album, Funeral, but it did not make the final tracklist, so they replaced the beat and released it on No Ceilings 3.

Dr. Sebi Ty Dolla $ign – Dr. Sebi

“Dr. Sebi” is an interlude performed by Young Thug, the nineteenth track off of Featuring Ty Dolla $ign. This marks his second appearance on the album, following “Lift Me Up” alongside Future, which is two songs before this song’s placement.

It serves as a transition to the next song on the album, “Powder Blue,” as the beat to “Dr. Sebi” transitions into the “Powder Blue” beat towards the end. Thug’s “woo, woo” ad-lib can be heard at the beginning of “Powder Blue” as a transition.

Also, Thug’s protégé and fellow labelmate Gunna is featured on “Powder Blue,” so the Atlanta rappers and Young Stoner Life Records labelmates could have recorded their respective parts together.

Here, Thug uses “Skypes” to mean “clouds,” since the Skype logo used to be a cloud. He follows this line by ad libbing gun noises in onomatopoeia to the melody of the Skype jingle that plays when one makes a call using the service.
