Lyrics Negotiations - Wale

Negotiations

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…
