Wale - The Number Won lyrics

I don't trust no one I keep my friends close, enemies closer, f** both, I dont trust no one *snippet from Seinfeld interview on Larry King Live* [Verse 1] When you strive for perfection Desire get confused and you could lose your direction I lost my connection with a brethren Athlete mentality so f** my competition Me and him was homies, 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 ain't holla since June f** 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 to hold down I figure this where my heart at This sh** has got my soul I tell them n***as 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 sh** on my shoulders They say this media changed, these verses gettin strange Who you know that's famous and rich and stay the same? How can n***as blame us, I am not ashamed but I don't understand how this game made us strangers, look [Hook] Competition, for the love and anyway it go, they gon remember us My n***a, its all love That's how this sh** be goin when you go for number one We tryna be number one, number one, we tryna be number one [Verse 2] 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 s**in 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 ain't 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 n***a, them other n***as 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 b**h, feel like I deserve a medal here First placin it, wine wastin it With all due respect, I can't have you in the way of it [Hook] Competition, she in love, and anyway it go I'm gon remember her, but still My nature, its all love, that's how that sh** 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,!
