Uptown roamers, and south side riders

[Verse 1]

District has arrived us, (ah) time to shine

Yea, I am the nail forever holdin em down

Down in the slums to the burbs, where they migrate

Who the one they talkin bout? That's what I thought, WALE!

A long way from a grammy, ima get it

I promise the moment it's with me I'll leave it in the district

Yea, and im just doin what I gotta do, flyer than the rest of em

I still got my Nike boots

Let me enlighten you, I am the brightest of the youth

The booth can't do it I provide to it

It's by youth with the mind of a G

I never cook coke, no sir that ain't me (nah)

But I'm so DC, and Maryland, Virginia

Dem other bammas pussy like the center

The center of the East coast my emblem reads

4-3… yea, remember that please

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

up up up up uptown up up up town up up up town (x2)

(Wale: yea yea yea yea, ay ay ay, Yea. Landover what up, 1-2-4 what up, 1st Quarter what up, Kin Land what up, Texas Ave what up, Largo what up, Trinidad gettin cash fa sho, yea)

[Verse 2]

Its DC, brought to you by me

The only thing higher than the crime rate is the fiends

Semen get leaked to the women of the future

The ladies baby boomin before they high school juniors

Yea, and these niggas don't be steppin up

Baby mothers quittin school, nigga now it's up to her

Believe yall, I aint tryna Stephen King yall

But most stay high with they eyes like the Singapores

Im singin poems for supporters of my songs

And all them out-of-towners

Just to show you how we goin

tha poor to the ballers, all went off

More Forest Creek stars, even yall out in Rockville

The home of Marvin Gaye, that's all I gotta say

Iverson was cool, but I supported Victor Page

It's the DC thang, incase you aint notice

Landover, Saratoga, and im Uptown…

Uptown roamers, and south side riders

up up up up uptown up up up town up up up town (x4)

[Verse 3]

Yes, its Wale

currently out in Maryland

I should be in the carry-out

truthfully I am ever fresh

Im evervesant, nobody do it better

They all are pretenders, I am the 7th letter

(WALE! WALE!)

Yea, and that's my name, they aint forgot it

The 9th letter's forgotten, you will never be acknowledged

(Pussy)

I get it poppin like Pacman, ask Powlow

ask G, he'll tell you that im into Go-Go

ask Mikey, he'll tell you that the hoes liked it

My prada lows, for the most part its only Nike

Some spite me, but they try to be a lot alike me

You gon have to sell some more records, niggas, without tryin'
