There is nothing you cannot overcome with God in your life. Learn how to depend on Him in all you do, Trust Him, for He will never leave you nor forsake you. I'll keep you in my prayers, be encouraged there's going to be brighter days.

You gotta die from something. You could be living your life right and walk out the door and get hit by a bus. Just keep God in your life lil wayne and you will be fine. Don't forget your roots!

Wayne,your one of my favorites. i would not be able to cope with your loss to a fu@%*& cough syrup.It seems like everyone around me has to be getting oblivious to their minor problems. When in fact poisoning themselves makes their small problems worse with time. Though they may not think so friends&family do.I can say from a rough experience with many drugs, that I feel much better& I'm staying much healthier than i would if I was draining my immune system back in the day. Sure I went through with drawl, but you get over it( as hard as that may sound), thats why you have friends &family there to help you get through rough situations, especially something so serious as drug abuse. They want nothing more than to keep you alive and kicken.To Lil'Wayne baby boy your so sexy & your music is off the chain. Keep it that way boo!Sh%* happens reguardless of what you do, just remember all the fans you got given it up for u cross the world.

I feel that it's none of our business and that was don't need to judge a book by it's cover. we should at least give him a chance as to what he wants to say about the whole situation. Because as a fan of Lil Wayne's I don't think that we need to jump to conclusions if we are some real fans it's like wait on to see what he has to say because like I said these an't pur situation I do support him no matter what.

Poohbear_10 and bloodwifey, are you blind?
The little tool HIMSELF is talking about HIS addiction.
There's no mystery, lies or speculation here.
You can't "see what he has to say" about what he already has said!

I just think it STUPID..someone who has so much talent and all they do is throw it all away and its always over the same things...DRUGS...pills, coke, alcohol, etc...find another hobby already! It's hard to feel sorry for these super-rich people who waste their talent and money gettin' tore up on drugs...What a f@cked up way to live your life. I guess it'll be a matter of time before we're reading his obituary in the paper too...SO SAD!

Very tragic....this brings a whole new meaning to ".....shauty wanna a thug, BOTTLES in da club"...! I was hoping he meant Don Julio Real (the smoothest Anejo Tequila money can buy.) On a serious note, I do hope he can ween himself off of this syrup sh*t and just stay 420. Keep it all natural:)1LUV

BEST RAPPER ALIVE
root beer just seems so wrong. I really just don't want him to die. He is the only rap music that I listen to (did not previously enjoy rap) and I listen to his music non stop! I'm sure in small doses(not every day) that it is good for his voice. I say stick to the sticky purple buds.

I don't think that the stick buds will help his voice either but it sure feels good.
