Wale – Heaven's Afternoon lyrics
[Intro:]
In the grand scheme of things
We never were supposed to have shit
Born to lose, built to win
Folarin
Let’s get it in

[Hook:]
We ain’t supposed to never have nothing
We ain’t supposed to never have shit
See the growth in my rhymes
See my focus ain’t on them

[Verse:]
Nah, at the top is just us, right
Let’s get it
Prps, something nice you ain’t know ‘em
Givenchy, but no kilt, mi amor
We can’t leave, but we love the allure
Hold mine down and stay above what you on
On, I’m appeased and obliged
Scorpio freaks quantity Gemini
I’mma need me a light
Ridin’ through the cap, Cap steez on the mind
I ain’t know him but I wish I did
Each one, teach one, may the youth live
On that, Joey Bad please hold your head
Lost one last summer, livin’ ain’t fair
While them niggas scared, we forever in
Hates see you smile, money everywhere
Dream killers out, I see them in the rear
Before I put them in a song, put them in a prayer
Amen

[Hook:]
‘Cause we ain’t supposed to never have nothing
We ain’t supposed to never have shit
We ain’t supposed to never have nothing
We ain’t supposed to never have shit
See the growth in my rhymes
See my focus ain’t on them

Supposed to have nothing
Supposed to have nothing
Supposed to have nothing
Supposed to have nothing

[Verse 2:]
Yeah, I’m focused, it’s Folarin here
I reckon your barbershop talk of this
Heavenly father, may the spirit of God
Help whoever at odds get your guidance quick
All we need Keisha, all we need Becky
All we need is God, and fed free fetti
My little buddy lives strong, young nigga peddle
He ain’t make it in the leagues, so the streets wed him
Gettin’ wet up on the corner in whatever weather
Boy see the jail again, he gonna see the devil
Been a week since he seen his mother
And 18 since he seen the other
I’mma pray for him
It’s safe to say, he got some pain within
It ain’t too much that I can say to him
Cause my bank statement don’t relate to him

[Hook:]
‘Cause we ain’t supposed to never have nothing
We ain’t supposed to never have shit
We ain’t supposed to never have nothing
See my focus ain’t on them

[Verse 3: Meek Mill)
I was so fresh, so clean when I stepped on that scene
Put up Aston Martin, you could asked em Yasiin
When I came through the scene paper taggin on lean
Bad attention to get, that was yall dream
Hold up, let me get a feel like a Jackson hold up, I don’t feel it (nah)
Hey Wale
Yep, what’s the problem?
I’m focused, I’m Kobe, I kill it
I ain’t scared of it
Getting hired if Shaquille old Neal feel go please sing this
Girl me to the broke, they probably with me got a mill plus interest
Meek, he livin
When I was dead broke used to always tell my cellphone I’ll still be the shit
To my po, she got me up
I’mma do the time, come home, and still be this rich
Still she the rich, I’mma still be a Meech
Got this Rico, start filming it
Hold up, try and kill me
Let me get the flow back, I was chillin it
We was chillin them strips, drop hits no ceiling
Ain’t talking bout when, you talkin them things
300 in change, got a million in whips

[Hook:]
We ain’t supposed to never have nothing
That right ‘cause we ain’t supposed to never have shit
No, no, We ain’t supposed to never have nothing
You see my focus ain’t on them

Supposed to have nothing
Supposed to have nothing
Supposed to have nothing
Supposed to have nothing

Uh, started from the bottom
Yea, but now we grindin til they love em yea that’s
Uh, for the money and them commas
Yea, we can’t forget about it
Yea, started from that bottom
Yea, but now I got, it’s a problem
For that money and them dollars
And I ain’t rich but I’m still shinin
I’m still shinin, I’m still shinin
Shinin, still shinin
Shinin, still shinin
Shinin, let me shine my
Church.
