Mama Told Me Wale

[Chorus]
Mama told me it'd be days like this
But I ain't never ever think it'd be a day like this (naw)
Not now not ever
And now until forever you will never need another (nigga)
Mama told me it'd be days like this
But I ain't never ever think it'd be a day like this (naw)
Not now not ever
And now until forever you will never need another (nigga)

[Verse 1]
Sorry hip hop, it took me so long to get on
But so long that I'm on it, it's on
I'm rappin' for the scholars and the hustlers, meanwhile
Showin' mama I ain't dropped out for nothin'
I swear these dolla's gon' add up
And I ain't shallow, material things suppress bad luck
That's why I shine like I does
It's pain in my eyes but these Yves Saints blind you to look
Binded between, carryin' the flag for an area that drag
Whoever tried to gravitate
G told me it's a city full of crabs
I'm feelin' like a platter at Phillip's when I rap
As much as I wanted to be minisculed the fact is
They'd only be happy with a minstrel actor
Sorry Mr. Charlie won't chap dance
And fuck the radio for tellin' me to snap jam
I'm just expectin' the spectator's respect here
My net is from jet setters to cab fares
Hip-hop's unbalances got out of hand
Ain't have to see-saw, I'm already scared
I been called the heir apparent to guide us
Not DC, this whole fuckin' genre
And I ain't in it for them O's or them comma's
But more or less the hope for dope niggas to prosper
Yessir
