DC or Nothing (Explicit)

DC Or Nothing - Wale
In the face of adversity  I prepared a verse to see
Or hear rather
So destined to win  get respect where I live
My reflection contagious  I'm the messenger here
Making love to the streets  they be lusting for bread
They ain't sleeping until they know every customer fed
When the city was chocolate  there was death in the air
All I'm hearing is AIDS  I ain't deaf in my ear
Nah    I ain't deaf in my ear
But he push them whites in the hood like Ray Edmond was there
Shout out to Kirbo  he told me I would make it
Now me  Tony  G  and Tre got the keys to the nation
Pray for peace with the babies  they a beast in the summer
Of course he fiending for trouble  he had a fiend for a mother
Got no leaders among him  got no loyalty either
Once the police get to cuffing  bet his homie deceive him
See  it's cold where they be at  on that boat like a pirate
Politicians f**king hookers  why you mad at my ***
Kick him out of the city  force them whites who can pay up
Still different ablers killing over what isn't theirs
Lost my ni**a over nothing though
Saeed Alisha I miss you  god bless my brother's soul
I feel something change in the weather  and I'm home  home  home
Don't let it drift away like a feather and I'm home  home  home
And oh  I gotta find my way
Oh I gotta face the day
But oh I can't stay away  not never  your my home  home  home
Look  I lost my ni**a over nothing though
Saeed Alisha I miss you  god bless my brother's soul
Ricky is sitting  Baba was sitting
Caught up and slipping for fearing a McDonald's position
Seen it over a dollar  got him under a flower
Funeral drama  niggas mystery baby mamas
They ain't really for condoms  I just think that it's shocking
Got no fear in no officer  they be scared of them doctors
I'm aware that there's problems  know Obama gon' stop it
Where there's minimal conscience and there's thousands of choppers
I know Howard that college  but that town has some problems
I done seen embalming fluid ruin a ni**a promise
Little women be mommas  little niggas ain't fathers
Ain't nobody here leading  it's way too easy to follow
They knee deep in today  ain't too fond of tomorrow
Although it gets you paper  I pray you weighing your options
This is soulful my ni**a  I'm hoping I am giving a hope to my ni**a
We just soldiers my ni**a  don't know you my ni**a but know you my ni**a
This is soulful my ni**a  hope that I am giving some hope to my ni**a
We just soldiers my ni**a  don't know you my ni**a but know you my ni**a
Ni**a  know you my
And you know my ni**a
Know you my
Look
I feel something change in the weather  and I'm home  home  home
Don't let it drift away like a feather and I'm home  home  home
And oh  I gotta find my way
Oh I gotta face the day
But oh I can't stay away  not never  your my home  home  home
A king's assassination is why most often fear the hell
So needless to say this  leadership is not with a timid sail
I pray these words live and these gimmicks fail and
I pray whenever I'm seen in my city I forever resemble Braille
May your trees be loud  and your queens be proud
May you see your dreams allowed  before you see them from a cloud
May your glass never reach half-empty  may your enemies find the
Inner-peace before it ever get to beef
I wish you  wealth  health  and pact-free women for yourself and the sh*t
Ain't the best  hope these lyrics help
I feel something change in the weather  and I'm home  home  home
Don't let it drift away like a feather and I'm home  home  home
And oh  I gotta find my way
Oh I gotta face the day
But oh I can't stay away  not never  your my home  home
See I made it from home  see I made it alone
And all these peasant motherf**kers take shots at the throne
Time after time  again and again
They wanna see a ni**a lose but I'm destined to win
