Lil Wayne enlisted the Roots on Tuesday Tonight's show for a fluid live version of "Dedicate", a song from his recently released 12th album – and long delayed – Tha Carter V.

The rapper wearing a banana bag has adopted his nasal signature on the track, unleashing a series of rhymes tripled on the band's grunge reggae groove. Lil Wayne shouted Drake ("I've turned a fucking" God's Plan "), Marvel (" I'm going to film Marvel on a wonderful shit ") and Andy Warhol (" For the art of this shit , Andy Warhol and shit ") at different times of the piano cut.

The song is over with a sample of President Barack Obama telling kids to have realistic goals: "They might think they have a very good shot or a very good flow. But our children can not all claim to be Lebron or Lil Wayne. As the audience cheered, the rapper motioned him to take a break and added, "So, with that said, Children, stay in school.

Earlier in the episode, Lil Wayne spoke to host Jimmy Fallon about the joys of skateboarding and legal delays Tha Carter V and his free writing process. He described the challenge of remembering his lyrics on stage since he never wrote anything in the studio. "You are so, so kind and so generous," he says. "They typed my words and I'm back studying them."
