Uptown Roamers

[Intro]

4... 3...

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Yeah! We got a lot of star power in the building tonight

Rock, Mikey what up? Trey what up?

Yeah! Here we go! Forest Creek what up? Glenarden what up?

Cap Heights what up? Barry Farms what up?

Lincoln Heights what up? Michigan what up?Montana we ain't playin' with 'em! Aww!

[Verse 1]

District has arrived us, (ah) time to shine

Yeah, I am the nail forever holdin' 'em down

Down in the slums to the 'burbs, where they migrate

Who the one they talkin' 'bout? That's what I thought, WALE!

A long way from a Grammy, I'ma get it

I promise the moment it's with me I'll leave it in the District

Yeah, and I'm just doin' what I gotta do, flyer than the rest of 'em

I still got my Nike boots

Let me enlighten you, I am the brightest of the youth

The booth can't do it I provide to it

Inspire youth with the mind of a G

I never cook coke, no sir, that ain't me (nah)

But I'm so DC, and Maryland, Virginia

Them other bammas pussy like placenta

The center of the East Coast my emblem reads

4-3... yeah, remember that please

[Chorus]

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

[Verse 2]

It's DC, brought to you by me

The only thing higher than the crime rate is the fiends

Semen get leaked to the women of the future

The ladies baby boomin' before they high school juniors

Yeah, and these niggas don't be steppin' up

Baby mothers quittin' school, nigga now it's up to her

Believe y'all, I ain't tryna Stephen King y'all

But most stay high with they eyes like the Singapores

I'm singin' poems for supporters of my songs

And all them out-of-towners

Just to show you how we goin'

The poor to the ballers, Ardwick Ardmore

The Forest Creek stars, even y'all out in Rockville

The home of Marvin Gaye, that's all I gotta say

Iverson was cool, but I supported Victor Page

It's the DC thang, incase you ain't notice

Landova, Saratoga, and I'm Uptown...

[Chorus]

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

[Verse 3]

Yes, it's Wale

Currently out in Maryland

I should be in the carry-out

Truthfully I am ever fresh

I'm everesant, nobody do it better

They all are pretenders, I am the 7th letter

(WALE! WALE!)

Yeah, and that's my name, they ain't forgot it

The 9th letter's forgotten, you will never be acknowledged

I get it poppin' like Pacman, ask Polo

Ask G, he'll tell you that I'm into Go-Go

Ask Mikey, he'll tell you that the hoes like me

My Prada lows, for the most part it's only Nike

Some spite me, but they try to be a lot alike me

You gon' have to sell some more records, niggas, stop tryin'

[Chorus]

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

Up-up-up uptown, up-up uptown, up-up uptown
