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?
sh**
That's one of my favorite lines cause
You know I'm hard to please man
You know that
But you won me over n***a
You can't lose yourself in this sh** holmes
Cannot do it man, it's too many lives at stake
You know we do this sh** 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 sh** man
You do this for them young n***as who we inspire and open the musical doors for
We are the district, Wale
We the district, n***a
We can't lose ourselves
This blood run too thick
This district culture too raw
Yo like AB said n***a, the dream is real
Let's live in it
We already fled our homes
We been f**ing up the DC club scene since platinum days n***a
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 n***a, can you really believe they thought you was talking bout a f**in chain?
Man, from tourin to cla**ic tapes
n***a you and Dre been the hour sessions, 2007
Now we talking bout Grammies
We talkin bout Grammies n***a
You understand that?
Can you believe that?
We up for a Grammy n***a
We ain't got sh** else to prove
We already did the unthinkable
Man, listen Ralph
You just gotta give these n***as Folarin
