Wale "The Number One" Lyrics

I don't trust no one , I keep my friends close , enemies closer , fuck both , i dont trust no one ,

* Seinfeld skit*

When you strive for perfection , Desire get confused and you could lose your direction , I lost my connection with a ? , Athlete mentality so fuck my competition , Me and him was homeless , maybe we still cool , But every time we book , we stay in our green room , Maybe its on me , or brother its on you , Or maybe its they fault that we aint holla since June , Fuck it we on the move , none of use tryna lose , I am out of this world and you a man on the moon , I'll meet you in the sky , Look this whole time , we was comin from separate towns tu hold down , I figure this where my heart at , This shit has got my soul , I tell them niggas picture me rollin i get the Kodak , If ya'll don't know ya history ya'll should look a lil' closer , I feel like Quasimoto with all this shit on my shoulders , They say this media changed , these verses gettin strange , Who you know famous and rich can say the same.? , How can niggas blame us , i am not ashamed but , I don't understand how this game made us strangers , look , Competition , for the love and anyway it go , they gon remember us , My nigga , its all love , that's how this shit be goin when you go for number one ,

We tryna be number one , number one , we tryna be number one , When you strive for perfection , Desire get confused and you could lose your direction , I lost my connection with my woman , I needed her support but she was thinkin bout a marriage , FORGET IT.! I know your love is the purest , But sexin without affection is necessary for some of us , Here's my heart you can hold it , I won't need it on this road trip , And I aint tryna cheat so go head , leave me to my lonesome , GO.! you free to go about your business , But if we back to business hope we resurrect the feelin , I'm a real nigga , them other niggas fill in , The only girl I say I love you , and i'm not pretendin , Look , I got no time for that type of connection , Meantime , I hope you keep your vagina protected , Your friends say , why we not together yet Sad but its true , but I ain't on ya level yet , Tryna keep a level head , Workin like a Mexican , Runnin this bitch , feel like i deserve a medal here , First placin it , wine wastin it , With all due respect , I cant have you in the way of it , Competition , she in love , and anyway it go , I'm gon remember her , but still , My nature , its all love , that's how that shit be goin , She vying for number one , Tryna be number one , She tryna be number one , she tryna be number one , tryna be number ONE,!
