ong meaning and backmasking controversy

The song, detailing Lil Wayne's drug use and abuse, has sparked significant controversy due to a supposed hidden message through the use of backmasking, though Lil Wayne has made no comment on this rumor. The message supposedly contains disturbing references to murder and rape. Some say that the song has a background voice of a weird noise, a chipmunk, and he also uses an off beat tempo to voice ratio, although that is almost his unique style, produced by Birdman. The hidden message when the main lyric is reversed is "under da ground beneath ya", followed by "without trouses are we nude?". Some believe that the line is "the ground takes you as the sun turns blue". The song's message is supposedly similar to the one in Hustler Musik. The song is not downloadable on iTunes.

The song was chosen as the song of the month by Blender in their August 2007 issue.

The song samples "Once" by Henry Ate. Karma-Ann Swanepoel, lead singer of Henry Ate, sued Lil Wayne for using the sample illegally, even when the Lil Wayne's label tried to make a deal to use the sample. [(May 29, 2008).
