[Intro-Wale]
That's why I knew you was gonna say that sh**
I apologize for being to successful
I know how some n***as get mad at that
They can't really take it
They can't stop the inevitable man
DC, Maryland, Virginia please stand up
If you don't, you will by the end of this f**ing recording
[Hook]
Hey Mr. Carter (No it's just Wale)
Tell me where have you been? (Everywhere, all day)
Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
They've been wondering why? (Who's been looking for me?)
Hey Mr. Carter
Tell me where have you been? (Because I'm a millionaire)
Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
They've been wondering why? (It's my turn)
[Verse 1-Wale]
A million 50 god damn Wayne you k**ed them
Good looking with the Nike boots, it boosted me a little
I mean I had the city, I'm the meanest with the lyrics
But I thought it was cliche to do a freestyle to A Milli
A regional phenomenon, a leader put me on
So I proceed to do the monologue and turn the game to Ramadan
You hungry now but ain't hungry as I
I devour humble pie though I signed to the Iovine
Fe Fi Fo machine
I'm absolute and they all obsolete
Sometimes I wish it was '03, OG Rocafella throwing up isosceles
And I ain't riding, I just paying homage
If I ain't strive to be Shawn, I'd end up like Ki-Jana
f** that, I'm no bang a llama lion up
My mind Patrick Bateman with the rhyming
You can't unwind it. Rising and climbing
Ain't nobody brighter, there is not a list to find them
Lex Luger, narcissist, the mirrors get excited
Lyrically inclined and, the miracle what I am
Maryland where I am, you n***as is behind us
The game is a store. I'm the male Winona Ryder
I'm a prove that it was just a fable on what Nas said
Proving you don't have to be a fable to have a hit
[Hook]
Hey Mr. Carter (Damn Joe)
Tell me where have you been? (See I'm on that you know, you gotta gotta think like Shawn and not end up like Ki-Jana)
(Like, f** it, Wikipedia Ki-Jana Carter if you stuck) Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
They've been wondering why?
Hey Mr. Carter (And sensitive internet n***as, that's not a Nas dis, I'm just sawing like, you know you could, whatever.)
Tell me where have you been? (Because I'm a millionaire)
Cause they've been asking, they've been searching
They've been wondering why?
[Verse 2-Wale]
Hundred fifty mill, god damn Jay, you k**ed it
Roc Nation could be your artist, new form and let it get rich
So you know you I had to get rich
I am on a mountain of talent, so I'll get rich climbing
Meanwhile, I vow that I will never tire
Like Marty McFly skateboard, I am the pilot of it
Great 5 in my greater good attire
V8 sh**, Pusha T in my alliance
In this life your only ally is Allah
These n***as talk to much to the Matlock
Rap stars be forgetting most actors
They phony, the Grammy's should be held at the Tony's
I set the tone for the under twenty-fourers
While them n***as hate, I'm on my tour bus in Europe
And I'm known to buck who*es and plural
Been more tulips in here than a florist
[Hook]
Hey Mr. Carter
Tell me where have you been? (I might can do a third verse)
Cause they've been asking, they've been searching (But I'm just gonna stop it right there)
They've been wondering why? (I be on my sh**)
Hey Mr. Carter (Maryland what up)
Tell me where have you been? (DC what up, Kate Wile what up)
Cause they've been asking, they've been searching (Two Five, what up)
They've been wondering why? (Six Four, what up)
[Outro-Wale]
I like to thank everybody for love and support on the mixtape
I'll continue to bring y'all great material
Until you know what I'm talking about
Yeah, look out for the album; Wale
