Lil Wayne Goes Green and Yellow: Do Lyrics Lead To Super Bowl Gold?

Rapper Lil Wayne is from New Orleans, but he isn't a Saints fan—he's a Green Bay Packers fan. 

And right on schedule, the Packers' most famous celebrity fan has put his touch on Super Bowl week.

In a remix of Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow", which has become the de facto Pittsburgh Steelers anthem, Lil Wayne has come out with a Packers' version "Green and Yellow."

While even at first glance there's a glaring problem with the title (the Packers are obviously green and gold), Packers' fans should enjoy most of the lyrics spit by one of best rappers of our generation. 

Let's break down the Green and Yellow lyrics as they pertain to the Packers and Steelers Super Bowl matchup.

The Song: Green and Yellow

First off, you better listen to the song to know what I'm talking about.

MVP?

"Money green, yellow broad

Aaron Rodgers, MVP award"

While Weezy clearly nails the color of money, he struggles with this second line. 

There's no doubt Rodgers had a great season, and he's possibly been the MVP of the playoffs, but the NFL has yet to announce the MVP award.

And it's not likely to go to Rodgers. 

With that said, it's good to hear Wayne has gotten over his love affair with Brett Favre.

In the past, he gushed over his affection for the Packers' former quarterback, but like nearly all of Packers fans, he's moved on to Rodgers.

Maybe Wayne means Super Bowl MVP?

Salute to The Fans

"This is Green Bay, [expletive] we go hard

This is Packer Country, where ya green card?"

While Lil Wayne only speaks of Green Bay, "we go hard" could apply to all Packers fans. There's no fan base in the NFL that is as loyal as the Packers. 

They tailgate in whatever climate that gets thrown at them, and in Green Bay, that usually means freezing temperatures. 

They also travel as well as any fan base, and come Super Bowl Sunday, the Packers will surely have a significant contingent of fans in Dallas. 

Cheesehead-rockin' Packers fans will be "going hard" in Cowboys Stadium.

Not a Fan of a Certain Towel

"Terrible towels, that [expletive] borin’

We got the ball, you know we scorin’ "

Even as a Packers' fan, you have to respect the Terrible Towel. 

Credited as the first rally towel, Steelers' fans signature symbol has been around since 1975 and will be out in full force during the Super Bowl. 

Packers fans will never say anything beats the cheesehead, but it's hard not to admit that the Terrible Towel gives it a run for its money.

Come on Weezy..

"Got a call from my homie, this just in

The Packers in the Super Bowl and they better win"

For Weezy's sake, I hope he didn't have to get a phone call from a friend to know the Packers advanced to the Super Bowl. 

If he's such a Packers fan as he claims, he better of been watching all 60 minutes of the heart-racing NFC Championship game. 

Because, you know, that's what fans do.

They watch every game the team plays, and they don't just jump on the bandwagon once they're in the Super Bowl. 

I'll give Wayne a pass, as I'm sure these were just catchy lyrics, but we'll be keeping an eye on Weezy's Packer fandom moving forward.

Look Out

PITTSBURGH, PA - JANUARY 23: Ben Roethlisberger #7 of the Pittsburgh Steelers drops back against the New York Jets in the 2011 AFC Championship game at Heinz Field on January 23, 2011 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Steelers defeated the Jets 24 to 19.

"They call him Big Ben, but he weak though

We in Dallas, but we Lambeau Leap hoe"

I'm unaware of how much Ben Roethlisberger can bench press, but he's undeniably one of the harder quarterbacks in the NFL to bring down. 

For this reason, it'd be hard to argue that Ben is "weak." 

And with all Roethlisberger has been through with sexual assault accusations, it's never a good thing when Big Ben and a certain derogatory name for women is used in the same verse.

I'm sure Lil Wayne didn't do that on purpose though, right?

Poor Ike

"Yeah, got a pocket full of big faces

Throw it up, touchdown on Ike Taylor"

No one is going to claim Ike Taylor is one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL, but he doesn't deserve this. 

However, Lil Wayne brings up an important matchup in the Super Bowl. 

If the Packers are going to beat the Steelers, they'll probably have to do it through the air, and Taylor is going to need to play one of his better games to stop a dangerous Green Bay receiving crew. 

While that might be a daunting task, how sweet would it be if Rodgers hit Greg Jennings over the top of Taylor for an 80 yard touchdown in the Super Bowl? 

Low Blow Weezy..

"Uhh, big Gs on the helmet

Steel Curtain? What is that, velvet?"

There's no problems with the first line.

Call me biased, but the Packers have the best helmet in the NFL. The "big G", as Wayne calls it, is one of the more iconic symbols in all of sports—even if no one knows what the G actually stands for. 

However, dissing the Steel Curtain is a bit over the line. 

Given to the defensive line of the Steelers during the dynasty years of the 1970's, the Steel Curtain is one of the best nicknames in NFL history. 

I understand what Weezy is going for here, but that Steel Curtain is far from velvet.

Can I Get an Invite?

"And if we win, I’mma throw a Super Bowl party

And blow a cigar like Vince Lombardi"

Win or lose, Lil Wayne is probably throwing a pre-Super Bowl party, a Super Bowl Sunday party, and countless post game parties. 

However, can you imagine that party if the Packers win? 

There'd probably be plenty of smoking and cigars.

Or otherwise.

"We knocked the Eagles and the Falcons and the Bears off

Now we ’bout to cut Troy Polamalu hair off"

First of all, it's a great rhyme, and Wayne does a solid job of incorporating all the teams on the Packers' playoff schedule.

However, cutting Polamalu's hair off is a bit much. 

While possibly the power of Polamalu lies in the hair, no one wants to see him without his curly locks. 

Anyone who has seen him with short hair knows why. Here was Polamalu as a freshman, just as it was starting to grow out.

Yikes.

Finally, The Chorus

"Yeah, uh-huh, you know what it is

I’m a cheesehead, y’all [expletive] Cheez Whiz 

Pittsburgh Steelers, thats nothin’

That Super Bowl ring, thats stuntin’"

Lil Wayne is wise to mention he's a cheesehead (whoever thought that would be in a rap song?), but he could have done better than Cheez Whiz. 

Now, about those last two lines. 

Weezy can diss the Steelers all he wants, but the fact of the matter is the Steelers are already the ones "stuntin'" in their Super Bowl rings. 

Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, and James Harrison would probably all love to show Wayne who wears the bling and who doesn't.

Until the Packers beat the Steelers and earn their rings, they're the ones with "nothin'."

While there was already a Green and Yellow remix out there, it's hard not to like the twist Lil Wayne has put on it. 

It mentions Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews and Vince Lombardi, all while dissing the Packers' Super Bowl opponent. 

There are certainly a few inaccuracies, but no one is going to expect a rap song to be factually correct. 

Either way, Green and Yellow is a catchy tune by one of the best rappers out there, and that certainly brings publicity to the Packers. 

It will never be Todd Rundgren's "Bang on the Drum" (listen after the touchdown), but Lil Wayne's remix definitely has a place for Packers fans during Super Bowl week and beyond.
