    Lyrics:
    Shout out to Marvin Gaye
    Love you then they hate you
    Then they love you again
    Hate you then they love you
    Then they hate you again
    (Keep giving me love) hold me tight, (and then you take it away) let me go
    (Keep giving me love) heal my heart, (and then you take it away) hurt my soul
    (Keep giving me love)
    [They’ll never ever, ever know your soul]
    Build me up, (and then you take it away)
    [Never know your heart] break me down
    (Keep giving me love) Make me smile, (and then you take it away) make me frown
    (Keep giving me love)
    [Ain’t no love in the heart of the city, that’s what they told me]
    Give me love, (take it away)
    [I’m just waiting on somebody to show me] take it all away again
    (Keep giving me love) Give me love, (and then you take it away) take it all away again
    [Just waiting on somebody to show me]
    Yeah, ain't no love in the heart of city, that's what they told me
    Beef with over 100 niggas, don't none of 'em know me
    Son of a mother studying at UDC
    Sitting in taxi cabs, where daddy roaming the streets
    Seven hallelujahs, my sutana was clean
    On everything I wear it, all the America's tees
    This whole system most prolific in the DMV
    Listen when you get the keys it's seldom, you don’t get the beef
    Make a nigga wanna get the piece to get to peace
    You gon' need more than Wikipedia to get to me
    PG to Mo County bet they all know about me
    Every hood, every 'burb, I got superb balance
    From the city that made me love you forever for it
    Hope you celebrate every moment forever ignore it
    You made me what I am, you made me what I'm not
    They gon' love you a little different when you at the top
    Give me love, baby
    Not enough, not enough, just a touch, baby
    What the fuck, baby? It's just us, baby
    This ain't right, this is life
    This a love hate thing
    Give me love, baby
    Not enough, not enough, just a touch, baby
    What the fuck, baby? It's just us, baby
    This ain't right, this is life
    This a love hate thing
    (Keep giving me love) hold me tight, (and then you take it away) let me go
    (Keep giving me love) heal my heart, (and then you take it away) hurt my soul
    (Keep giving me love)
    [They’ll never ever, ever know your soul]
    Build me up, (and then you take it away)
    [Never know your heart] break me down
    (Keep giving me love) Make me smile, (and then you take it away) make me frown
    (Keep giving me love)
    [Ain’t no love in the heart of the city, that’s what they told me]
    Give me love, (take it away)
    [I’m just waiting on somebody to show me] take it all away again
    (Keep giving me love) Give me love, (and then you take it away) take it all away again
    [Just waiting on somebody to show me]
    Yeah, my affinty grows as the city gets cold
    As you reaching your goals, you gon' meet you some foes
    Having dinner with Leonsis I'm dreaming to own
    But for now me and my homies see the bottom floor
    I'm trying to redefine the culture, and renovate the soul
    Women in town, but I'm manifestating every goal
    I see potential in John, talk to him once a week
    Media targets in our city it ain't ever sweet
    I lost a lot of friends and they ain't even dead
    When I was on my way up, why you ain't see the stairs?
    Lord father if I opted to follow them
    My heart would tear from my dreams let me know that you here
    And it's rare when I'm anywhere with too many heads
    Niggas jealous and never tell it until they stare
    How could you blame us envy?
    We do the same thing for a living
    Know the same niggas, but they all commend me
    Champagne I'ma spill it until we all fill up
    Maybe it stopped me from giving a fuck about opinions
    And probably not, but I'm temporarily out of fizzucks
    So tell the post to leave propaganda to politicians
    (Keep giving me love) hold me tight, (and then you take it away) let me go
    (Keep giving me love) heal my heart, (and then you take it away) hurt my soul
    (Keep giving me love)
    [They’ll never ever, ever know your soul]
    Build me up, (and then you take it away)
    [Never know your heart] break me down
    (Keep giving me love) Make me smile, (and then you take it away) make me frown
    (Keep giving me love)
    [Ain’t no love in the heart of the city, that’s what they told me]
    Give me love, (take it away)
    [I’m just waiting on somebody to show me] take it all away again
    (Keep giving me love) Give me love, (and then you take it away) take it all away again
    [Just waiting on somebody to show me]

Dude has the whole package. I used to bump this back in 2012 on my way home from leave in the military. From NC to NY. Just a whole vibe

    This Is still my favorite one by Wale. Everything about this is genius. The 80's undertones, cinematics of the video, vulnerability in the lyrics, Sam Dew's vocals, dope musicians. I mean everything. Especially the back and white tone of the video. However the song confirms that life is anything but.... love it.

    Masterpiece. The storytelling. The word play. The musicianship of those professionals. The melancholy in Sam Dew’s voice coupled with Marvin Gaye’s sample literally make me want to hug Sam where he hurts. The dichotomous relationship with the home city Wale hails from. The revelation and heartbreak of the losses suffered while finding success. The nod to 70 and 80s RnB in the arrangements. It’s criminal that this song wasn’t even more widely known. It’s beautiful.

    ive become kinda whatever about him recently but honestly from the experience ive had in my short life the truth is really spoken in this song. Its crazy how some people can put all these emotions and crap going into your life into a song when people like us spend so much time trying to find words for it and make sense of it all. I would love to hear more of this in newer artists and less of the same stuff over and over.

    I am feeling this song right now to the utmost. Song is describing my family situations and relationships real heavy. I am perplexed at how the higher you climb in life, the people you love fade out. It's too crazy... Like life playing a cruel joke... Staying a the bottom and people look down on you; Work hard to climb your way up to the top, and people fade off. Either way, it's gonna cost you... smh.
    Success does come at a price... I wish to God it wasn't true, but it really is... It's a harsh truth.

    Hold me tight, let me go
    Heal my heart, hurt my soul
    Build me up, break me down
    Make me smile, make me frown
    Give me love, take it all away again
    Give me love, take it all away again
    Yea, ain't no love in the heart of city, that's what they told me
    Beefing over 100 niggas, don't none of 'em know me
    Son of a mother studying at UDC
    Sitting in taxi cabs, where daddy roaming the streets
    Seven hallelujahs, my sutana was clean
    On everything I weared all the America's tees
    This whole system the most prolific in the DMV
    Listen when you get the keys to sell em you don't get the beef
    Make a nigga wanna get the piece to get the peace
    You gon' need more than Wikipedia to get to me
    PG to Mo County bet they all know about me
    Every hood, every 'burb, I got superb balance
    From the city that made me love you forever for it
    Hope you celebrate every moment forever ignore it
    You made me what I am, you made me what I'm not
    They gon' love you a little different when you at the top
    Give me love, baby
    Not enough, not enough, just a touch, baby
    What the fuck, baby? It's just us, baby
    This ain't right, this is life
    This a love hate thing
    Give me love, baby
    Not enough, not enough, just a touch, baby
    What the fuck, baby? It's just us, baby
    This ain't right, this is life
    This a love hate thing
    Hold me tight, let me go
    Heal my heart, hurt my soul
    Build me up, break me down
    Make me smile, make me frown
    Give me love, take it all away again
    Give me love, take it all away again
    Yeah, my affinity grows as the city gets cold
    As you reaching your goals, you gon' meet you some foes
    Having dinner with Leonsis I'm dreaming to own
    But for now me and my homies see the bottom floor
    I'm trying to redefine the culture, and a bigger soul
    Women in town but I manifestating every goal
    I see potential in John, talk to him once a week
    Media targeting our city in This Week
    I lost a lot of friends, and they ain't even dead
    When I was on my way up why you ain't see the stairs
    Lord father if I opted to follow them
    My heart would tear from my dreams let me know that you here
    And it's rare when I'm anywhere with too many heads
    Niggas jealous and never tell it until they stare?
    How could you blame us envy
    We do the same thing for a living
    Know the same niggas but they all commend me
    Champagne I'mma spill it until we all fill up
    Maybe it stopped me from giving a fuck about opinions
    Probably not but I'm temperorary out of fizucks
    So tell the post to leave propaganda to politicians
    Hold me tight, let me go
    Heal my heart, hurt my soul
    Build me up, break me down
    Make me smile, make me frown
    Give me love, take it all away again
    Give me love, take it all away again

      He chose the wrong team. And this is coming from a dude that attended his shows when it was under 50 people. He hasn't stayed true to his origins. He tries but honestly he has had a few great tracks here and there but he aint been the same since more about nothing and attention deficit which is still his best album. Last mixtape i really banged with too was 11 one 11 theory. Its unfortunate because he has alot of creativity, word play and conscious raps. I still bang with him ... just not as hard

    i may be some random whiteboy who doesnt know shit...but i will tell you this...Wale is in fact the definition of rap music and this genre will live on inside his music. This guy is a true artist and the words and beats speak for themselves.

    Got my hands on this album and j. Coles born sinner and listened to them both 10 years ago with my brand new beats headphones. Never forget it. What a time to be Alive .

    Really don't understand the haters. Criticism is ok, but hate is something else. Keep rocking Wale.
