WALE

4

My name's Wale, you probly know me from the you know

Aye that was one of my favorite joints man

You remember that day of mine?

Shit

That's one of my favorite lines cause

You know I'm hard to please man

You know that

But you won me over nigga

You can't lose yourself in this shit holmes

Cannot do it man, it's too many lives at stake

You know we do this shit for the district

Them youngins man

Them youngins that don't have a voice

Nobody was before us man

Nobody made it this far

We do this for all our homies behind the wall

Who never got a chance to see this movement in real form

You gotta remember this shit man

You do this for them young niggas who we inspire and open the musical doors for

We are the district, Wale

We the district, nigga

We can't lose ourselves

This blood run too thick

This district culture too raw

Yo like AB said nigga, the dream is real

Let's live in it

We already fled our homes

We been fucking up the DC club scene since platinum days nigga

But you always stayed on subject

If these listeners too dumb to understand you gave them subject in the club

At the same token on Chain Music

The never gon get it

My nigga, can you really believe they thought you was talking bout a fuckin chain?

Man, from tourin to classic tapes

Nigga you and Dre been the hour sessions, 2007

Now we talking bout Grammies

We talkin bout Grammies nigga

You understand that?

Can you believe that?

We up for a Grammy nigga

We ain't got shit else to prove

We already did the unthinkable

Man, listen Ralph

You just gotta give these niggas Folarin
