[00:00.01]The Success - Wale
[00:00.69]
[00:06.62]The worst thing is when you get comfortable
[00:08.34]
[00:08.85]That's why success is the enemy
[00:11.19]
[00:12.54]Lord forgive us, we're sinners
[00:13.92]Was poor with the other children
[00:15.50]Of course the ills that are less fortunate
[00:17.34]Support while they're killing
[00:18.89]Graduated from school just to live on their knees
[00:21.78]And wonder why the undergrads don't wait for summer for heat
[00:24.97]Cause a drug dealer's destiny's still reaching that key
[00:28.21]
[00:28.74]Who are y'all to disagree
[00:31.71]While everybody is looking for somethin'
[00:34.89]Where the lookouts look out and be like cuckoo, they comin'
[00:38.33]So it's nothin' when the income is nothin'
[00:41.21]And the heat never be on so get that heat from the oven
[00:44.65]
[00:45.17]It's humility, still humanized by these memories
[00:47.79]You and I could never eye to eye
[00:49.08]Cause my style's like 5 guillotines
[00:50.88]
[00:51.51]I'm more head then cutting off 5 foreheads
[00:54.67]10 I seen, the tenacity of my swords edge
[00:57.61]Boy been built for that
[00:58.82]Seen blood get spilt for less
[01:00.43]These young bloods like a bad drug
[01:01.94]Can't find a cure, take a pill back
[01:03.87]Uh, rah rah, D.C. mean don't come
[01:06.79]A dick choke if your ho cum
[01:08.28]That was told to me by Curt Bone
[01:09.99]
[01:10.61]And that's fact, shout out
[01:12.02]Wayne and Corn too
[01:13.23]I ain't slang in the 80's but
[01:14.66]I feel the pain y'all went through
[01:16.36]
[01:43.13]As a hustler's Ambition continues
[01:45.46]All them side ways niggas try and do you like Bishop
[01:48.67]And I'm sorry if you 30, still purchasing nickels
[01:51.59]Cause I'm pushing 30 and the nickel be purchasing Wizards
[01:54.77]Like Ted and Zach, I got the bread, let's go and chat
[01:57.76]Man I made so much off of beanies we can go over cap
[02:00.92]El Captain of the rappers songs, get at me dog
[02:04.14]And I'm Christ' Dior with a crispy cuff over Paranorms
[02:07.21]Stuntin', oh oh, I'm stuntin'
[02:09.45]Ho-bo if there's shit in the bus scoop us a seven
[02:12.63]Avenue livin', what's up
[02:14.29]Revenue up the wazoo cause I hustle
[02:16.60]Used to listen to Wasalu
[02:18.21]I so was Kick
[02:19.21]Pushing the product out DTLR
[02:21.41]Pardon me I'm just dwelling
[02:22.98]Pursuing the exit from the cesspool we ascended
[02:26.82]Uh tell me I ain't successful
