Meaning of “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” by Birdman & Lil Wayne

“Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” is a braggadocious track, with the term “stuntin’” basically being a colloquialized synonym for showing off. Lil Wayne and Birdman want the audience to know that when they do it, they do it big, especially when it comes to pushing phat whips for example. 

To note, the rappers also allude to being drug dealers, Weezy in the past and Birdman, as implied, up until this day. But such depictions, whether factual or not, are ultimately meant to point to the same general idea, that one way or another the homeys are getting paid.

“Pyong! on the Yamaha, chromed-out eleven-hundred
What I’m doing? (Getting money)
What we doing? (Getting money)
What they doing? (Hating on us) But they never cross
(Cash Money still the company and) Bi–h I’m the boss
And I be stuntin’ like my daddy, stuntin’ like my daddy
Stuntin’ like my daddy, I be stuntin’ like my daddy
I’m the Young Stunna, stuntin’ like my daddy
Stuntin’ like my daddy, I be stuntin’ like my daddy”
