"The Feature Heavy Song"
(feat. Bun B, Pusha T, Tre)



[Hook:]
Back in the gold gold
Back in the cold ?
That fly shit I've been on
Come on

[Wale:]
Meet the one and only
Yeah homie, I'm Thelonious
Blowing, pause, no trumpet I'm on
Faux pas never
And so far clever
They hating on a younging
Get you X like cars
XL no, I was on world tour
And when I touch back
Who you thinking they call
Yeah, still high two-steppin' it
Do it for the capital
Wale Ovechkin
SB hundreds
Yes dear, I'm on that venison
More or less Lindros
Flyer than the rest of them
Mind my intentions
They ain't nothing similar
Sideways, talk 'em at you neck like Zindy
Flash, I be on
Your highness
Then I might get my underground king on
DC hip-hop, get my U Street on
Cops actin' funny
See, they get they blue streak on
DMV, we gone

[Hook]

[Bun B:]
It's Bun B
The [?] zone
PA's trillest, chilling in my PA zone
I heard 'em try to say that PA's gone
You heard wrong, motherfucker
Cause PA's home
And on the real, we never left
Like the right of way
Serving and swerving
From dusk to first light of day
You got that good, player
Light away
Don't care if we gonna ride and sip
And smoke a whole night away
And I don't lite a J
I fire up the ass end
Of the blunt, take a hit
And get to passin'
You wanna hit it, no
Don't even get to askin'
Cause it's a close circle
Don't try to jump your ass in
You need more weight to leverage
I lay you down, you ain't getting up
Unless was giving?
I CD like the District of Columbia flipped
So I'm really hoping that none of you trip
Because I'm

[Hook]

[Pusha T:]
Back in the gold gold
Look at the showboat
Leaves is cocoa
Comin' by the boatload
Chains, promo
Playclothes logo
I'm Linux out of belly
You see me walking in slow-mo
Or hopping into something with some low-pros
Up and down with the roof
The top is like a yo-yo
Yuugh
The makings of a mogul
I'm up and down with the price
The corner's playing pogo
Who fucking with the mojo, no show
Without the red nose
I see the clown in you Bozos
Pusha pitch it like he Nomo
Striking them switch hitters
Dodging popo
DMV's fo sho, though
Throw dough
Baby, we can treat Chevy Chase like little Soho
Spend a day filming through findy[?] hobos
Reap the benefits and rewards
Of how I'm blow dough

"The Followers"

"The Followers"


Yeah, what’s it all for? Trust in no man, but give it up to my Lord
I might influence entire wars from maricons
There’s levels to this fellowship, you stuck on the same board
Truly provoking, shining new light through my zones
The women open I should be light behind doors
Oh that’s swag, call me trash, who yall’s source?
Cause y’all sheep, the way I see it you’re all lost
Look what I encompass while you lacking direction
Why would the guide lie to us, you’re looking fly Olympics
Anyone, Jordan, Johnson, Phelp shit
I can off-hand, hit you right with strong hand hits
In the zone little nigga doing small bowl rips
And my broad doing things only saw on flicks
Oh shit I’m the man, ho
Dunk Lows, only those come Japan, ho
Money fold, women clothes got me paranoid
Only fair to lose your ear at wedding ceremonies
Either way they should be voided

[Hook:]
Follow me, follow me or forget me, follow me [x3]
Follow me, follow me or forgive me, ‘cause y’all about to see

[Sample:]
(The point is I intend to undertake this.
And I'll do it with or without you.
So if you're scared, if you haven't got the stomach for this, let's get it out right now!
And I'll go on my own.
If not, you can get on board and we can get to work! Now what's it going to be?)

But nigga is you crazy? They say I lost a step
Like the second wedding ring bearer somewhere in the orphanage is, do you blame me?
But the anger I express, providing messages, it’s not for parents you forced the kid
And you hate me, because you too lazy to decypher what I’m writing, and I say to it
“Oh, I never fall off I get my Bill John Wall on”
Bills that [?] go long, your bitch nickname is hold on
So called my jump off, she so far my call on
You beat like you Paqi you street fight like Bora
En garde, en garde, yeah, touche
Life’s a lemon so why make it a Kool-Aid
Hold your bread, it’s not what you getting, but what you say
Hold your head like in a blizzard rockin’ a toupe
Move, Folarin probably coming through
Camera roll like Pornhub, closet look like Karmaloop
Oh Folarin probably letting off, M box like model cars, closet look like Bergdorf
Checks ain’t in stock, but I never fall to what rich niggas care about
Birds in my parent’s house, shot, fuck malaria
Back to the spot I still rock the rarest apparel, yah

[Hook]

Nigga is you crazy?

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

"The Freestyle (Roc Boys)"

"The Freestyle (Roc Boys)"


I wanted several MCs to this joint
But I do what I must to prove I'm much
Better than who so ever protool'd this joint
The pro tool calling for those dudes love
Standard stanzas
Staying on the track like Gatlin
Prior to the bad quick fast to
Zoom like Boosie, higher than Bootsy
Get'em inspired with the spiral loose leaf
Mind like a pryo
I'm so Dhalsimand Guile, though gals what guides me to do me
I do me, I'm playing myself in this movie
Autobioaug' but it's brought up by y'all
They pressed for their ice, Oksana Baiul
Stunting 'round here that is not the right move
They don't care about me, what would they care about you?
Yea, ain't really on jewels
Stunna I am getting silly with the shoes
Look at my room, ain't got no more room
10k on OGs, bitches need their own room
Your girl love me, I'm at home in her womb
A girl on her, bitch, get your own room
Give a nigga room, show you niggas my dues
Rique got buildings you niggas own rooms
Ima[?] move fresh, yea, I know what I do
Ima move fresher than the first day of school
First day of school teacher couldn't say my name
Now I got the whole nation screaming "WALE"
Yea, and I thank my connect
Not the link to it I'm thinking the internet
MySpace, Facebook, don't forget Map Quest
The MacBook Pro every time I chat
I mac like pro, they forgot I rap
While you just wrap them up like clothes iWrap[?]
To a girl in Iraq, straight G I'm that
And ain't never going to leave like the troops in Iraq
Yea, and I'm all but the oil to em
Holmes do it flows hotter than a boiler room
Flow something like a sauna wearing corduroys
I am the ever fresh, you niggas quater waters
Niggas on it from written house to serving quarters
Wale, the miracle, I'm on every corner
Whether like it or not, I inspire them all
Haters what is you saying?
Would you like me to stop?
Would you like me to not be this entirely high?
I inspire the pots cooking from bottom to top
I inspire the pot smokers to pick a new high
Goofy footing and kickflipping our grind is alike
Just minus the lifestyle, I'll fall in a lie
With such traction my rap is taking them all
Yea, It's taking too long, I am making it hard
I makes a lot of sense like I paid for the malls
I'ont be in the mall
Yea I'll be in tomorrow
Wife cool yea I got it K-Kid Couture
Nikes shoes, 3 Gs, ain't seen in the store
Y'all dudes rap like you're reading The Source
Wale rap like he re-did The Source
I'm the reason the atheist can scream for the Lord
The second blessing, no second guessing
You niggas in the closet like priest at confession
Words touch youths like priests, I'm confessing
Niggas out the league like Priest when I'm rushing
Chiefin' on something, Ed Reed I'm running
Then receive and run it like I'm reverse running
Compress y'all paper, and reverb money
Ad-lib checks in the bank, holmes, no frontin'
And when you're this high everything is stunting
Although I'm this tired, don't sleep on nothing
And when you're this fly y'all wings don't come off
Think that I'd come off for soft jo c'mon
Saw part they jaw til their jawbone come off
Hold my bonds, they are Mark, I am Bonds
They are Ecko to Perry, I met your celebrity
The best of the women 'round here none carry me
Smart nigga brainpower this is work jo
I forever Pernell a nigga with my Whitaker
Wale overseas like my misses' purse
She live being coast, nigga, I ain't gotta boast
And I'ont need no street sweeper cause I be with Bo
And he'ont need no heat either, he from Ardmore
Yea, and that's A Town down
Bitches see it faster than that Akon child
The cops move slower than the R.Kell trial
An architect, putting my hoods down
DMV bandwagon here now, like Alvin from The Program
We in the House-House-House
I'm Omar Epp'n it
Folarin and it don't question it
Work like a mexican, original, professional
You're 16-bit, nigga, you are so Genesis
And I'm buzzing like Jena Six
Meanwhile young Folarin on that Todd Smith
Yea, yea, yea I'm the house-house-house

Lito baby
Folarin

"The Friends N Strangers"
(feat. Tre of UCB)

"The Friends N Strangers"
(feat. Tre of UCB)



[Verse 1]
I keep my friends close
Enemies on a leash like,
Me and my haters is literally Siamese
I can define me but if I let my friends do it
They'll tell you I'm some bipolar, hard drug user
The J gets smaller, I'm up in my zone
Though surrounded by an entourage, I feel like I'm alone
A long way from normal, I try to keep it cordial
I made some new friends, meet recorder and touring
Shout out to my nigga
Its now for a nigga
Know some niggas back home, ain't proud of a nigga
They don't see my vision, grown man mission
They all see my life from a childish position
I'm the mouth of the District, nobody work harder
My heart is in the monuments, the life is in the harbor
So tell me all my followers, am I wrong for barking?
Am I wrong for thinking I was better off in college?
At least I'll be stable, Yea slightly less popular
But wouldn't be the topic of my few friends talking
A few niggas talk but they do without knowledge
I do self evaluate, Yea I know I've got some problems
Can't change who I am, I just try to get better
So in the mean time keep it moving on accept that
And you all will respect that

[Skit]

[Verse 2]
Yea,
You always say you wasn't ready for no man
But I wasn't having that, I gave you errything I had
No errything I had, or the very things you have
Tricking, king of the court, small forward, Cavs
Where your whereabouts baby? I care about you lady
And I left you all them letters in your mailbox waiting
And I ain't never plan to be famous
So I'm a take that rubber off, I wouldn't mind having babies
With a home girl best friend lover all that
Ex-boyfriend was wack, she had enough of all that
Look me in my eyes, say if you take it I'm a give it
And if I give it to you, don't you treat me like them bitches
Please Wale,
She used to call me late
One day she called me early, to tell me that she late
Fuck you mean? See my hands start to shake
I ain't looking in her eyes but her face
Cuz tears falling down make me ache
We should just ignore it, you know we can't afford it
She said I cannot believe that you say we should abort it
I will not support it, what happened to you courting
And I ain't want no nigga from the jump, you ignored it
You just had to force it, you had to keep going
Now that lil pre cum gone be having me swollen
As we go forward, I came back from touring
The DNA result, congrats ex-boyfriend

Smiles and handshakes
Everywhere I go
Girlfriends, groupies, then I'm all alone
So confused, these strange relationships
I think I've got some enemies disguised as friends

Smiles and handshakes
Everywhere I go
Girlfriends, groupies, then I'm all alone
So confused, these strange relationships

"The Get Away (Fly Away)"
(feat. Northeast Groovers)



Uh, yea yea, turn me up a lil bit
Uh, just what's been on my mind?

[Hook]
I've got to get away, I gots to fly away
I've gots to get away, I've got to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Look sometimes it ain't worth it
A lovely outer surface
A pity party I'm throwin'
Sometimes I feel so worthless
I feel my work ain't enough
I feel they praise us too much
Or now they don't praise enough
Them niggas hate me for what?
One of us crazy, I'm frustrated
Disgusted with 'em
They shootin' my religon
So muthafuck the system
And muthafuck the quota
And hail my color purple
And I ain't talkin oprah
It's me my eyes lower
I should have been a chauffer
My driver's like noone
Well rick james, maury, jane
Muthafuck ya sofa
I mean your couch I'm jokin'
I'm on the couch toastin'
A bitch is nothin' but a dog
Who ain't housebroken

I'm in your spouse strokin'
What are my immorals
But most of the time
I lose my mind for divine oral
Ya'll define normal
That's why they don't get me
And there is no chemistry
With joe schmo's in me

And those opposin me
Have no souls indeed
I'm like a parapalege
I don't know defeat
Or never felt it
We gon' keep going

[Hook repeat]

[Verse 2]
Visions of popo, visions of sirens
Visions of handcuffs they comin' up
In my dreams, stomach is rumbling
They say I don't never smile
Or never say never though I admit
That it's been awhile

You never tire, might as well as inspire
And he who satisfy, might as well as retire
Them bastards is stagnant, my path's ever lastin'
I've mastered this ask of me, my raff ain't practice
I refuse the ration allowed with these assholes
That naturally act like these raps is a mattress
To the yawners, to the sleepers
To be honest, I need ya
So my armor, can strengthen
So keep talkin' ya'll pieces, uh

I beach chair, with my malibu vision
Eatin no boo dishes, with my soul food princess
By the water, au revoir to my audience
Left my home alone, you can call me macaulay bitch

[Hook repeat]

"The Girls On Drugs"

"The Girls On Drugs"


Hey! Happy Festivus everyone!

I promise you ain't never really freak out until you be out at freak hours and see each and every freak out from free couch to free couch

[Chorus x4:]
We go deep and we don't get no sleep
Cause we be up all night until the early light

Man these niggas ain't serious
Do you know what type of women I've been dealing with?
I used to pop blues with my lil' bitch
I call her boo cuz her real one I will forget
I use a Uber to scoop me to SLS
What you expect, a little groupie to see my crib?
Oh no, these niggas ain't serious
Do you know what type of bitches I've been dealing with?
Try to tell me adderall make her get a rush
Used to use it to study until she fell in love
Told me that lil buzz just make her think a lot
Told her "Nah you lying, cuz you don't eat enough"
Nah Nah Nah
These women ain't serious
She sprinkled a little something up in her lip
Start sipping and now she sweating, her lips clenched
Kind of dizzy, her friends tell her to get a grip
I'm trying to get me a real woman to take out
But for now, they're wild
They rather get it in

[Hook:]
Girls on drugs
Girls on drugs
Girls on drugs
Pills and subs when them beers ain't enough
They still need love

[Chorus x2]

In her purse where her hand go
She disperse by the handful
Coco make her go up
Nothing popping, pop a zan when she laying low
Bars to break, so many bars to break
She at the Grammy's turnt, none of the stars is fake
She like "Oh my God, I'm on the moon and shit"
And my particular moon like a platoon and shit
You know the niggas I be dealing with
Politicians and niggas living it on the rip
And my position to give this shit to little kids
Is not official unless I'm giving them authentic
We're all living with small demons
We're all sinning, it's all similar
Broads with us and they bong hitting
Let me tell you about the bitches I've been chilling with
The really insecure ones look good as shit
Nothing fill the void of a little pill
A little shot, she ain't shy when the shit spill
And it's hard to feel alive when you're feeling dead inside
Beside that the lime light be so real
Let me tell you about the bitches that I kick it with
Told me nobody love her and so she cut her wrist
Not enough for the hospital but cut it close
That's why she want to get high because she's feeling low
Told me pour me a vodka, pill and little smoke
So I could numb her insides and we will never know

"The Glass Egg"

"The Glass Egg"


...And they say don't ever change (change on me)
Although beautiful matrimony is a rapper balancing your women, your riches and at least half your homies
You're at the top, don't crack!

[Hook:]
I've been doing my own thing
And they said don't never change
And I pray I stay the same
Want everything for everybody 'round me
I've been doing my own thing
And we said we'd never change
And I pray we stay the same
Fame changin' everybody 'round me

OK, good business with mad friends (and we said we'd never change)
But bad business with mad friends, aha, glass egg
Used to be my homie, me and you was chillin'
Now that shit got cold like the OG with that finger roll
That Spur, probably cop it, cause the more I drink Wallace
And it's worse when they even in their fillings of your pockets
Then I got my deal
Started wondering if them peoples with me are for real
Mmm, I figure them'll do it, not us
Mmm, the bond was thick, now just the blot is
And isn't it ironic, getting a name can make you anonymous
My newest of hobbies, collecting calls from the lock-ups
Tell em I know he's so sick of the walls, when he get home, he going shopping
Mmm, look at the time that caught us
Talked to the Times when younger and made me get my life in order
Real in it for life, but now look at the price
But now look at that register, everything in here slight
Mmm, cause I'm John doing a hype
Look at how the moral of the story, but don't see its advice
It's right, it's like life is like a glass egg
Tryna maintain while coming to fame and keeping your last friends
Yeah, you know that balance of
Cause who on your back or who got your back
I promise the line is this thin [?] really
You know that balance of
Cause who on your back or who got your back
I promise the line is this thin

(I got this glass egg somehow on the top of this, balanced, on the top of this mountain, you know?
I don't know how I got it there exactly, but I see it's there and I got to end this with the right feeling)

[Hook]

OK, good business with mad friends (and we say we never change)
But bad business with mad friends, aha, glass egg
Look at the years invested, who would have figured or guessed it (pa[?])
Look at you there since Contra kept the code but you’ve got extra men
Told you I would get this straight, told you once i got big
It's lonely at the top by the population looking in, ahh
Then I got my deal
Started wondering if them peoples with me are for real (sometimes the mighty let the devil in)
Yeah, now salutations to my former friends
Forming to form against me is currently your form of defense
And now it hurts me to say, sometimes your sandbox friends equipped for dirty exchange, now was it
[?] or that bling in a hurt or sustain at curtain calls, one of two that either boo or bouquets, so was it
Worth of your fam or worth all tha fame
Exchange your personal relationships for personal gains
I'm telling you, balance is a bitch
Cause when you're back, who got your back
I promise the line is this thin, really, uh
I'm telling you , balance is a bitch
Cause who on your back, and who got your back
Sometimes that line don't exist, I'm out

"The God Smile"

"The God Smile"


I shine
You shine
We fall

[Hook:]
Girls kissin' me all out, Christian Dior'd out
We gon' hold this city down 'til we see the whole city up
(Go shine, go shine your light on me
Go shine your light on me)
A1 when I'm on site, my day ones never think twice
Same one that get all the hate, through it all I illuminate away
(Go shine, go shine your light on me
Go and shine your light on me)
Nah nig, nah nig
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah nigga
Don't you doubt it if you was my nigga
We ain't fall out so you still my nigga
Don't always call you but you've been my nigga
You're still the same, nigga, it's just the trust

Nigga when you work hard
Used to get the outfit up off Curt Bone
We done came a long way from the all day store
And now spending 8 somethin' out Bergdoff
Word up, pray to God that my self good
Stand close to my rivals
Like you got a job they would kill for
It's all good cause the flow is to die for
My God, nigga life like a dice roll
And it's twice hard throwin' 'em with mics on
I hit 'em with the rap, everybody slept
Then I came back, killin' everybody's nap like a hot comb
At Saks 'bout to cop more
And cop more if they got more
And come back if they got more
Middle finger to them folks, tell 'em GABOS
Cause this game ain't based on sympathy
Know that fame will steal your energy

[Hook]

At 21, played running back
24 I had the city mad
Slim Charles in the Y now
You could say me and him brought the city back
Used to hustle in hand-me-downs
Now I'm whippin' the Camry 'round
Hit licks in Baltimore
Gettin' Hip-Hop chicken in like Kevin Liles
Uptown, I learned a lot
Suburbs taught me good
The white girl destroyed the black neighborhood
So white boys can run the world
White cops is goin' to war
I write thoughts and put 'em in songs
And the devil around the corner
It's all good cause the God is livin' in you
Cops can look in the bag
Tricky to man so can you read a mind
And they used to go to madness, and I ain't really have it
Somehow they let another Eddie advance
Well I shine for the niggas that passed
So my niggas in the pen got me pushin' a pad
Back in the crack era, daddy whippin' a cab
But now I'm pushin' a camper doin' a similar route
One time, [?] meets Jay Hov
Marion Berry meetin' with Barry O
This is Lil Wayne meets Wayne Perry
This is bad brains from the go go
I'm in tears so I'm thankful
Cause I got haters and I got flow
Niggas can't tell me nothin', I got this shit jumpin'
From the white house to the black hole
Don't let no lame tell you differently
Bitch I'm the savior of the DMV

"The Grown Up"

"The Grown Up"


They say love is the slowest form of suicide
The fluid on my eye falling while I do the rhyme
I try to be the guy, you think about
Every night when your eyelids cover eyes
Cause I'm going "I'm" rather than on "us"
Maybe I'm on lust well you deserve love
Baby, just come close, let me play in your hair
It's been a half a year, I say we take it there
I'm trying to take you where nobody going to pay you, kid
It's been a weekend, five starrin' in her underwear
Room service, the moon been worthless once apparent to your aura
And not to be a freak girl, you deserve oral
And you deserve the Earth and the materials on it
Material girls can't call you, cause you deserve all from the honor
The all from the heart of the person that's talking
I pray that that's me, but I gotta be honest
I gotta be a man, before I can become a father
I gotta tell you that my love is true
I know I still got a lot of growing up to do

You say my love was gonna work from a upper
Blood been rushing, I'm thinking 'bout loving
Highest form of affection, physical connection
You just see a nigga with an erection, next to ya'
And I don't blame you, cause game gets swang like it ain't shit
So for me to say it is, then you take it
As many grains of salt as bacon
But we don't do swine, salaam alaikum
Separate us, from what Jay brought
I'm trying to grow for you, if you can take love
Some say, "uh, if Mr. Right come,"
And "its not the right time, its the right's done"
I'll be the right if you'll be the wife
And I'll be ya like, Common did over Dilla
Cause I feel its right
[?] with the feeling right
Let me enter your life, lady we can spill our rice
I ain't talking a night, I am talking tonight
You hear that Sade, shh no more talking alright
I got the incense, I got the candles
Its love at its peak, I'm feeding you orgasms
I am more grown man than I have been, she said "not tonight"
I ain't that then

Never been convinced on commitment
Pussy I be, swangin', soulman conditioned
Girl listen, trying to position
Myself as a prominent figure
Father like "I know whats right for ya'"
Sister like "I know what to buy for ya'"
Brother like "at times I might fight with ya'"
But Mother like "never can deny my lovin'"
Best friend, girl friend, and my good cousin
God willing I'll proceed to a good husband
Look over your shoulder, I am a man now
I'm fully grown and the future can be planned out
And panned out, I'm all in love
With wishing from a dream, I am so grew up
I am so grew up
Grown man babe

And there you have it
You can have it you wanna have it
I wanna make having it a habit understand what I'm saying?
Say a grown man can separate lust from love
I don't think with the lower I think with the upper
If I'mma love you I'mma love you
Out
