Lil Wayne ft. Robin Thick- Tie My Hands…one of THE best songs on Tha Carter III

You know I have a passion for America’s response and aftermath from Hurricane Katrina, and Lil Wayne strikes a chord with my caring soul in his song “Tie My Hands.” It features Robin Thicke, and I’ve got to hand it to Lil Wayne, he really pulled out all the stops on this album. Granted this is kind of old news, I wanted to post info here about how this song is for the soundtrack for the film called “Hurricane Season”. The film is set to release on xmas day. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for it.

Here’s some snippets from the article “Lil Wayne Pens Song for Stars in Hurricane Season”

“I ain’t doing nothin’ but movin’ on, let the truth be known
But they talk that freedom matters, and didn’t even leave a ladder, damn.”
-Lil Wayne, “Tie My Hands”

And folks say he only raps about weed and candy-coated entendre…

This piercing Hurricane Katrina-inspired line, coming at the end of the song’s first verse, was penned not for Tha Carter III, but for an upcoming film film about a basketball team in New Orleans.

While the song (which features Robin Thicke) proves to be one of Weezy’s most introspective to date, it is certainly not the first time he has tackled the state of his faithful stomping grounds and his issues with the government response to Katrina.
