Lady GaGa:
Lookin' at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all sticky like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Wale:
Yeah DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name WALE and I came to get It
Came to get it, came to get it
My name Wale
(Verse 1: Wale)
SHIIIT This how you start of 09
Kickin in the door, and I'm everybody problem
Stuntin in some other Jordan Nines
I got Phil Knight talkin' about 'How you got them? '
Let's talk about the cars y'all got
You say you got alotta whips, well I got a Lot
I got the right to be cocky
Get so much cut disc jockeys jock me
You niggas mad that you not me
I remain a Giant and your Jeremy Shockey
And if you ain't heard me properly
If you speak garbage, then we no capice
DC chillin', PG chillin', floor to the ceilin
Stuntin in my Billion-Air, gear on my
Millionaire Frames, that's money on my mind, WALE
(Bridge: Lady GaGa)
Get 'em all, get 'em all, pack it all up
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Across the pond, they all know us
International.. Whoa!
Driving my car to a foreign place
Lookin' at me, now they know my face
We want it all now, we got all YESSSS
Look At That, Look at how they lookin' at usss
(Verse 2: Wale)
Yeah, they keep sayin' whale but my name Wal-e
Ho's call me 'Mr. Never Wear The Same Thang'
You redundant, you never ever change
And I'm the same way, M.I.A.
And me Cool and Dre get high like planes
Your man Wale in his own damn lane
Can't control the box, you are no Mills Lane
Ain't heard DC since Sardines came
Ha! And I made y'all love it
We don't cop plea's, but y'all don't cop nothin'
Police come around don't nobody say nothin'
And you be with the cops, you niggas is McLovin
Dark liquor till we busted
Till I got a buzz like that nigga Chris Mullen
District Of Columbia
You Bernie Mac funny, we ain't scared of none of ya!
Lady GaGa:
Get 'em all, get 'em all, pack it all up
Stack up your funds like a million bucks

Dre, pick 'em, ah, pick'em, I'll shut 'em all down
Haters in the crowd, if you see 'em point them out
Stacks in my jeans, broads on the scene
Folarin be ballin for all y'all to see
Ain't I something? The way I'm stuntin
My material girls give 'em A-Rod money!
LV on my luggage
Them Bammas goin' hate, and I love it, fuck 'em
