[Verse 1: Wale]
I can't separate the vultures from the culture no more
Both of 'em cooked
The coast clear for that bogus shit, camouflagin' in war
But that's a problem for me, I need a line to be drawn
I seen a lot of shit fly, that's what kamikazes is for
I'm a shark in the water, fuck is a fly on the wall
A butterfly on my arm, don't tell me I ain't evolved, Folarin
Y'all link up with money guys and lose y'all decorum
Lot of the biggest performers I know don't hardly be tourin'
And I don't harbor no hate, I promise it's gotta be hard
'Cause we know all of it's fake, and honesty's gotten me far
I'm James Bond, Brown, Fauntleroy, James Cook
Runnin' 'round with bills, a lil' piston and great hooks
They say I got dissed on the stream like Kyrie and Shammgod
And Jamal
Y'all keep on reachin', I'll be your downfall
[Interlude: Wale]
Damn, dog
Ain't even playin' hard
Let me get 'em, hey, look
[Verse 2: Wale]
They keep on talkin' 'bout this GOAT thing, exclude me from them convos
Like you ain't know that DC wasn't truly in that convo
On some rappin' shit 'til you know who did you know what for how long and still goin'
It gets hard to count when your fingers flooded with milestones (Woo)
I ain't outsold a soul but kept my soul
And y'all sold y'all shit for some clout, attention and downloads (Damn)
Tell me how it feel (Woah), like D'Angelo (Ooh)
They love my poems, this Hammer quotin' Mrs. Angelou
Yeah, still I, rise, run up on me, ill-advised
Promise they gonna illustrate the outline of your frigid body here
Visit Washington, outside you might see federales
Gentrified they shit, bet white white folks don't have any problems here
They walk chihuahuas here, my partners carry many dogs
And I'm not proud of it, been absent but not really gone
'Cause this ain't politics, I'm almost fearin' Marshall law
Ahki said we gon' be good, the mosque is full, Mashallah
Scandalous, the Kerry Washington and Shonda not involved
Every block is hot and corner locked, like Nnamdi Asomugha
I see how to get away with murder, just keep a badge is all
That is all, nigga on that bama shit when them cameras—
Feel like James Dean, Gandolfini, James Harden
I got some bitches, some issues and every day I ball
Ain't it fun? You got a gun, but you'll need a pair or more
'Cause ain't nothin' worse than an empty pole in the real world (Woo)
When you on your own, in the real world (Tell your mama)
I can't tell you whose the vultures from the culture no more
Both of 'em cooked
The coast clear for that bogus shit camouflagin' in song
And that's a problem for me, I need a line to be drawn
I seen a lot of shit fly, that's what's kamikazes is for
I'm a shark in the water, fuck a fly on the wall
A butterfly on my arm, goodbye, I gotta peel off
[Outro: Wale]
Wait
Cannon
No it ain't
