[Verse 1: Wale]
Revolution might be televised
But make sure if they do see
Them people see my good side
Black n**** with intellect
6th grade I was Special Ed
10th grade, eyes red as s***
Lookin' like a n**** just left Japan
Well g******, now I be the man
And every b**** kickin it with me goin Mia Hamm
Every visit to Neimans, I swear don't even see a tag
When you're reachin' your dreams
You got reason to brag
Ambition over everything
And I never plan on settling
And my wish is to have everything
And my only fear's a wedding ring
Hopin' that my n***** see
Hopin' that these b****** saw it
Hopin' when this bread get here
I got he same addiction for it
n***** think I'm slippin, n***** is lunchin'
Either dumb or smokin' dippers or something
[Hook]
No days off! No days off!
Heard they coming for a n****
b**** I'm Ray Charles
No days off!
Takin' breaks will leave you broken
And we can't fall
No days off! No days off!
Heard they coming for a n****
b**** I'm Ray Charles
No days off!
Takin' breaks will leave you broken
And we can't fall
[Verse 2: Wale]
I used to sleep hungry in a bed next to roaches
Now I wake up, play a beat and burn a couple roaches
Permanently focused, learning while I'm going
And the word most important
Don't regurgitate my s****
Let me work that - no nasty
But I'm actually quite respectful
But you call a b**** a b****
And real b****** don't respect you
And that's f***** up
But I guess that s***'s just tough love
Around my way, I'm cut throat
And what I did just ain't enough
Fly s*** ain't not thang to us..
20 somethin', no baby ma
Mama want me to go find a wife
I'm like sorry ma, this not the time
Can't decide, take em out
G'd up, shake it down
Weed up, better make a sound
Greened up, I'm like De La Salle
Higher than high school
Mariah tunes and five flutes
Or 5'2" hoopers in light shoes
Never liked school
Reckless when I move
Where I from, it get cold
n***** die over shoes
n***** shoot over b******
b****** get n***** set up
Stuck up beat up and wet up
That's why I never met em
That's why forever I love seldom and trust never
And f*** whoever don't put one hundred percent in
n****
