*Lil Wayne can’t remember his own songs due to memory loss.

“I don’t know ‘Tha Carter III,’ ‘Tha Carter II,’ ‘Tha Carter One’ from ‘Tha Carter IV,’” he admitted in a new interview with Rolling Stone.

“And that’s just my God’s honest truth. You could lie, you could ask me [about] such and such song, I wouldn’t even know what we talking about,” the hip-hop star continued. 

The New Orleans-born rapper claims his memory is so bad that he doesn’t even recall when his albums were released. Wayne has a history of health issues, including epilepsy.

“That’s how much I don’t know,” Lil Wayne shared, noting that he views it as a “gift” and a “curse.”

“I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing s–t,” he told Rolling Stone.

Elsewhere in the interview, Weezy noted that he remains driven by still wanting to be known as the best rapper alive.

“The reason why I’m still only listening and working on my own shit is because I’m in it. I believe once you start trying to listen to everybody else, you ain’t in it no more. You just happy to be here. But not me. I’m in a gym working on my own game. I don’t care how high you jumping. I don’t care how fast you run. You can’t even stand next to me with that shit,” he explained.

When asked how many songs he tends to crank out a day, the superstar said … “I work on multiple songs a day. I probably look at 20 verses a day. I’m on my bus right now. I have a studio set up on this bus. We have a studio bus behind me. In every hotel we get to, before I get to the room, my two engineers set up a studio in the bedroom. And I told you, we already have a studio booked in that city if that city has a nice studio, meaning I don’t stop working.”
