Lil Wayne’s 1999 Notebook Containing Handwritten Lyrics Written By Lil Wayne Is On Sale For $250,000

Lil Wayne doesn’t write down a majority of his lyrics, but at one point in time, he did, and now, some of those written bars are up for sale, and the selling price isn’t cheap.

According to a report by TMZ a notebook full of Wayne’s rare handwritten lyrics is up for sale. Moments in Time, the group selling the one-of-a-kind artifact from the beginning of Wayne’s career, is selling the notebook for a whopping $250,000.

Wayne’s rare book of rhymes dates back to 1999 when the New Orleans native was a rising star in Hot Boys alongside Birdman, Juvenile and Turk. At the age of 17, Wayne scribbled the lyrics to his verses from Hot Boys’ “We On Fire” and “I Feel” inside the composition book.

Since then, the rhyme book has survived hell and high water complete with water damage. The man who owns the notebook claims he found it in a car that once belonged to someone from Cash Money Records over a decade ago. When the dealership that the man works at took ownership of the car, he dug through what was left behind in the vehicle. Once he discovered the notebook, he took it and stored it in his garage.

Then, in 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. After the man evacuated from his home, he returned to what was left of his property. For the most part, everything was destroyed except for a few items in his garage, including the box where the notebook was stored.

Lil Wayne nor Cash Money have commented on the sale just yet.
