About This Track

Wale and Lloyd navigate restraint on 'Let's Chill', a track built on the premise of connection without rush. The production sits light and patient behind Wale's verses, which move between desire and deliberation. He speaks of respect that outweighs impulse, of getting to know someone's mind before anything else, framing the whole thing as a kind of necessary waiting. Lloyd's chorus holds the emotional centre: a plea to slow down, to let intimacy unfold without the pressure of sex. Wale matches that energy in his second verse, where he acknowledges the pull of physical attraction but chooses instead to "penetrate her mentally". The song's real argument is that restraint can be its own form of closeness, that foreplay need not be physical at all. It's a love song dressed as a come-on, but one that means what it says about patience.

"Let's Chill" is a track by Wale, from the album The Eleven One Eleven Theory, released 17th August 2011. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Let's Chill

[Intro: Wale]

You know I like you like, a little bit

Like a little tiny bit

And the only problem is, if I go inside you gone go insane

Check it...

[Verse 1: Wale]

Okay heaven sent this melody so let me sing it to ya

And I call you Ms. Folarin see that got a ring, don’t it

And I got this thing for ya my affinity’s infinity

Put that on everything these other bitches anything

Shit

I’m just tryna chill a bit play with it and blaze a bit

Then play you all my latest shit

Lately I been stressing so I need you like I’m crazy

Music's irrelevant and money’s overrated

That’s why I spend it like I look at it with hatred

To look at you is painful, cuz I ain’t seen you naked

But I’ma wait it out I’m bout to see that drought

Cuz if I hit it now these feelings take a different route

So, I’m on some 40 days and night shit

Feeling like it’s Ramadan and I just need a bite quick

Tryna get inside your mind without that night shift

So I’ma be aight for the night with a goodbye kiss

[Chorus: Lloyd]

Let’s chill

Girl I don’t want to rush tonight

Take your time when you’re with me baby

So I can give you what you need, I know what you like

Let’s chill

It’s obvious that girl you’re fine

But I just wanna make love to your mind

So if you open up your heart I’ll give you mine

Let’s chill

[Verse 2: Wale]

Usually ain’t nothing

Usually one and done up she done up and looking beautiful

That don’t mean I’ma stunt her

No need to rush it, we got forever babygirl

We getting closer every moment I’ve been waiting for it

Ain’t saying I don’t need it, if you gave it I would take it

Have you shakin' I would break you off

Without a second thought, but you got my respect is all

And I can show you all this love without a bit of sex involved

Maybe I foreplay it, maybe I kiss it lady

And even if we don't speak, you still are in my matrix

That’s how this lovin be, love it when she under me

She say that she celibate, I penetrate her mentally

So if it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be

Hold on to the now, cuz I know sex be changing everything

If it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be

She say "I think I’m ready, if it change just remember me"

[Chorus: Lloyd]

Let’s chill

Girl I don’t want to rush tonight

Take your time when you’re with me baby

So I can give you what you need, I know what you like

Let’s chill

It’s obvious that girl you’re fine

But I just wanna make love to your mind

So if you open up your heart I’ll give you mine

Let’s chill

[Verse 3: Wale]

If you ready then I'm ready go, hear this on my radio

Hennessey is in my blood, don't tell me you gon' tell me no

Tell me that you love me most, I tell you you the only one

Tell me where you want me go, nevermind I know what's up

Come and see what I'm about, pull your hair you say my name

Now you scratchin' on my back, I see your pleasure in my pain

She crack a smile, I'm finna turn it out

Probably won't last long, you know it's been a while

[Chorus: Lloyd]

Let’s chill

Girl I don’t want to rush tonight

Take your time when you’re with me baby

So I can give you what you need, I know what you like

Let’s chill

It’s obvious that girl you’re fine

But I just wanna make love to your mind

So if you open up your heart I’ll give you mine

Let’s chill

[Outro: Lloyd]

Ooooohhhhh!

C’mon and let’s chill baby

Yeah

Let’s chill
