    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]

    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.

      People know what music is....People dont like when you try to mix a Rap song with a Smooth Jazz R&B beat and use a bunch of explicit words......Why people into Rap dont understand that simple fact is beyond me....Had he used less Niggas and Profanity....Like took the number to 0....The song would be a hit internationally....The Remix is a hit.....And the remix only has the chorus part being sung in it....That should say something right there.....

    I've been listening to this song for over 4 years now and it's the one song I can still feel within my soul. Wale you are a great inspiration to me, I'm a poet and you're my favorite lyricist. I wish you would make more gold like this for our soul and help bring back the meaning in the art. What you make is poetic and deeper than the beat. I wish these young ones would get it smh.

    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.

    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.

      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
