Yoda Lyrics – Tech N9ne, Lil Wayne

Yoda Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Tech N9ne]
A young guy is chilling on his porch, thinking hard about how to move up in life. He knows that with talent and commitment, he can gain real power. He’s ready to bring out his strength and handle challenges. He’s got a clear goal to be the best, and anyone who tests him is in trouble. Despite still living in a tough neighborhood, he’s confident in his abilities and feels like he already has veteran-level skills.

[Chorus: Lil Wayne & Tech N9ne]
They’re talking about getting money, comparing it to the green color of Yoda. Even their drinks are green, probably referencing lean or wealth. “Protecting Yoda” could mean protecting their wisdom, money, or inner strength. Tech N9ne says he’s always ready for action and sharp like a weapon. They both feel above the usual drama—floating, meditating, and keeping focused. They’re saying this isn’t a movie—it’s real life—and not everyone deserves to be called a star.

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne & Lil Wayne]
He starts off saying he was broke, but even then, his music was incredibly strong—like a heavy dose of something powerful. He’s so skilled that he can shut down other rappers’ careers. Standing in front of him is like facing a dangerous beast. He reflects on feeling stuck in life, with fans maybe doubting his progress. Still, he has big plans to make people spend money on him through his talent. His family stays humorous, and they push through hardships with jokes and drive. Some people don’t believe he can succeed in rap, but he’s been working hard behind the scenes. Some of his old friends think he’s faking, but he keeps pushing and even finds humor in it all—like the comedian Keegan. He dreams of rising out of poverty and living rich. Haters can’t shake him, and his unique skills keep him strong and blessed.

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
He repeats that he’s getting rich like Yoda, and even his drink shows it. He guards his success carefully. He’s always armed and floating above problems, both literally and spiritually. He feels like a master, someone in control of his energy. The message stays the same—this is not fantasy like Star Wars, and most people calling themselves stars don’t really shine.

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne & Lil Wayne]
Here they’re focused on the success they want—fancy houses, celebrity connections, and turning a rough beginning into fame. Their rhymes are quick and full of strength, and they break songs apart with their intense style. They don’t listen to random opinions and cut off fake friends. Even when some friends turn to haters, they believe they’ll come out on top. Smiling and making money is the goal. No one gives them a break, but that struggle shapes greatness in hip hop. They build things with their talent and then destroy the competition. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, like they’re about to fall apart, but they keep pushing. Tech is proud of his fast, aggressive flow and calls himself the ASIN9NE kid—his wild, creative side. He’s someone who tears things down in the rap game and rebuilds better, always aiming to win. He sees himself as a true survivor and top-level artist.

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Wayne’s hook continues with the same vibe. He gets money like Yoda, and even his drink reflects his hustle. He protects what’s his, stays dangerous if needed, and floats above everything. He feels spiritually grounded and powerful. He’s flashing his success in front of others to show how far he’s come. Again, he reminds people this isn’t some fantasy film—real success doesn’t come to fake stars.

[Verse 3: Tech N9ne & Lil Wayne]
This one’s about rapping as a back-and-forth game with others like Damon and Mario, showing off with dangerous and hype tracks. They hang out in tough neighborhoods where things get wild, but they stay untamed and fearless. Some people shame the art of rap, but Tech rearranges everything with his flow. He calls out fake people, uses sharp lyrics like a lightsaber to cut off enemies, and makes it clear he doesn’t need fake friends. You’ll never live his life or reach his level. His rhymes hit hard enough to scare and impress. His skill with words is deadly, like a weapon. He lights up the sky, aiming high and staying ready. He wants to be remembered forever, as a true force in the rap world.

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Once more, Wayne brings back the main message. He’s stacking green like Yoda—money and possibly even weed. Even his drink has that green color. He protects what he’s built, is ready for any battle, and floats above all the drama. He’s got inner peace and control. He’s not just playing a role like in Star Wars—he’s the real deal. And he reminds the fake “stars” they’re not actually shining.

[Outro: Lil Wayne & Tech N9ne]
They’re chanting “Yoda” and “green face,” repeating the theme of being rich, wise, and powerful. Then Tech shouts out that this isn’t a movie and reminds everyone again: if you think you’re a star, prove it—because most of y’all aren’t shining like you think.

[Skit: Tech N9ne & Donnie]
This part is a casual moment. Tech gets a call from someone named Donnie but tells him to wait because his daughter just called. He promises to call back soon and says he’s got plenty more stories to share. It adds a personal, down-to-earth touch to the end of the song.
