Negotiations - Wale

Yeah

Mind racing negotiating my situation

I burned bridges I can’t repair so been fly lately

I’ve been peddling rhymes so much my calves hurt

Fly pelican fly Tony Montana work

Yeah I’m comfortable tell my other label I love 'em

Create a record collect a check take my name from it

The face on that plain Jane can replace budgets

Princess cutter shoe pop singers that can’t cut it

The ghostwriting both pockets is pulsating

For the reign of power I’ll put you with Rania fifth season

These niggas streamin' they shit, they weak but they entertainin' Don’t ever

confuse being great with being famous

I’m that nigga fasho, I’m that nigga fasho

Some of the niggas was humble with me look how they switch up

Look how they talk to you different like you ain’t better than them

You niggas go up in Ellen forget your Melanin quick

Niggas need a new legend the people never forget

I mean a rebel that take the devil on one on one and pray a lot with God,

well now his confidence in a gun

I know a lot of rappers who spot 'em after I take it from 'em so whoever doubt

me gone need a balcony and a jump

You see this motherfuckin' face

You remember this motherfucker

But you’ll never want to meet a motherfucker like me

You understand?

Mind racing negotiating my situation

I’m bad business the rap industry thinks I’m crazy

The gatekeepers they hate me say I’m militant

Really niggas don’t feel you unless you doin' that nigga shit

No Folarin, never change never give up your soul Folarin

And do your thing cause you givin' 'em hope Folarin

You know they say they only love you when broke or dead

But I can’t count on that and I’m in my ghoster car

Nigga done wrote some bars my shit is boastful always for the culture got on by

my lonesome you Sofia Coppola

Y’all might be dope but you on cause you know somebody

Oh, yeah

My opposition ain’t no competition

What you call a booth I call a kitchen, I’m fryin' different

Eyes lower than Shine numbers but my vision God-level

'Cause I focus every four bifocals

Sixteens is unmatched

Pistols in y’all hand like Brita — they untapped

Bitter niggas be reckless they disrespectful and Envy

And so you niggas is Breakfast, where Desus and Mero at?

Margiela apparel, what Virgil say he ain’t sent me

This shit was a retail so don’t check where my check is at

Ain’t playing with little niggas cause I ain’t with tit for tat

But throwing subliminals make your woman a widow fast and then I dash

Jewelry Lorenzo I’m finna blow a bag now

2007 the rappers had no swag now

All of these niggas Supreme, nothing is different with me

When I played receiver I perfected the fly route

Highly respected tell these labels I’m iced out

I’m feeling like Beckham I tell them let the price out

I’m lyrically celibate any status y’all want

Motherfuckers ain’t fucking with a nigga from Naija

Baba Folarin

Untapped potential but still tap your woman

Okay, Baba Folarin

My side just might tax you like Mike Rotunda

Oh yeah, I never fumble

Bammers think I’m with the locals, come on, tell me something

Dre head could scope the soak 'til it’s Shelly color

Woo!

That’s the MC

DMV about to peak, it ain’t just me

I dare seven niggas step to me, OC

Sleep, how they peeps be awake for the whole week?

Funeral crowd, keep running your mouth, nigga

The reaper within your reach if you keep running for clout

Cloud of mine, I’m high, I’m tired, I’m tried

I tried, goodbye my love

The fourth time’s a charm, I’m signed…
