Wale
The Curse of the Gifted
[Intro]
"Hold up, hold up, hold up, what the fuck?"
"What?"
"This n***a got a motherfucking statue?"
"Who?"
"This n***a Wale"
"Wale? What the fuck he ever done to get a statue?"
"Who the fuck this n***a think he is?"
"Hey spray that shit, spray that shit"
"Tag that shit"
"Hurry up, hurry up"
"Yeah, fuck a Wale, fuck outta here"
"Fuck outta here, man"
"Wild-ass n***a"

[Verse 1]
Life's better when your n***as good, and your mama straight
Though honestly still looking for some type of balance
Cause the status got me Jah tripping
Cause I like my bitch, but I love these bitches on my dick
When spitting tell me what you feeling different knowing you's the bread winner
And it's rare you hear n***as say he can't feel you
But in your ears like he dope, just not dope enough
And your closest homie probing you to open up
And to do so you must roll one up
And it’s lonely at the top, they tell me that they feelin' me
I eat this game and shit this out
My dirty drawers got winning streaks
I’m in too deep this industry, insane to a n***a
Got change like them n***as, but ain’t change like them n***a
They only fuck with my old shit cause I’m on shit
But I was potent in ’06, n***as slow as shit
Now my dreams is nothing more than minimal thoughts
And my cheese gonna fluctuate, though, sleep is the cause
And I’m tired though, and I’m high too
But it’s like my music made these n***as turn they pride to food
Yea, ye ain't even gotta love us
But you better respect this motherfucking hustle, real n***a shit

[Chorus]
Satisfaction's for suckers
Satisfaction's for suckers
And you don't even gotta love us
But you will respect this motherfuckin' hustle, real n***a shit

[Verse 2]
See life better when you know you real
I know some n***as is winning but ain’t been home in years
Pray they not know the feeling, sitting on a couple million
Sipping pretentious liquids
Usually think money would heal it, funny, it's only trippin'
If you were afloat, I bet you soak if you with 60 n***as
So we keep that circle small and never let no squares near it
It’s double-M G, I hope they know the set
Don’t you cop a second whip unless yo mama out of debt
Shout out to my cousin Bola, be home in a minute yep
My n***a’s at the Rivers correctional, that’s me in that vent
They thought I wouldn’t win in a crew full of trappers
But I do, I fucked the game and came out a gold rapper
I should be loving my accomplishments
But a brand new Maserati got me plottin' on another hit
Success is like a never-ending battle
Wit' whoever at the top and if that’s you-you who you tryna hit
To top all my last shit, it’s all that I ask of
I pray you forgive me if I don’t bask in this chapter
I’m a legend out Georgetown, we talkin' bout practice?
Cuz in this establishment you ain’t never established

[Chorus]
Satisfaction's for suckers
Satisfaction's for suckers
And you don't even gotta love us
But you will respect this motherfuckin' hustle, real n***a shit
Satisfaction's for suckers
Satisfaction's for suckers
And you don't even gotta love us
But you will respect this motherfuckin' hustle, real n***a shit

[Outro]
This is the story about the price of fame
The love for the dollar
Things we can and cannot change
