Contemplate Lyrics
Verse 1:
Dear sweetheart, what's up boo
What you up to, more club moves
I call her, no answer
Her phone in the bag she dancing
It's 4 now the club's over
I call her but, oh hold up
Ya know what, hit ignore button
Or the phone died, lets hope for it
That damier bag I bought
Caught the attention of those niggas on it
That cell phone that I bought
Is probably filled with some other niggas numbers
So it leaves me to wonder
Why do I still promise to love her
Cut me off every time I'm talking
Which means she ain't never hear nothin
I say stay she wanna leave
She get her point across, so I gotta let her be
I'm a let her be by herself in peace
But five years from now I bet she see
When the club gets played
The things you craving no longer escapes
And no longer there dates
You want a husband but no one has a cape
And now you wonder and wait
And I ain't trying to hear what you wanting to say
It feels good to be over you babe
So play this shit why you contemplate, contemplate, contemplate
Play this shit why you contemplate, play this shit why you contemplate
Chorus:
Who am I living for, is this my limit
Can I endure some more
Chances I'm giving, question existing
Who am I living for, is this my limit
Can I endure some more
Chances I'm giving, question existing
Verse 2:
Them people, they talking, dim the lights
They own me, this life, I chose
But I ain't know, till I found it, to be honest, I'm modest
One hater for every nigga on it
One day everybody is applauding
The next day you is everybody target
Why bother, why talk to him
Where God at, I need to call him
My knees on the ground dear father
Don't let me break please make me stronger
How much longer, will it linger
Well my heart is giving will they believe it
When my song is over will they need me
Watch how quickly they find a new leader
Questioning the whole meaning
In the viper room just me and River Phoenix
With Courtney Love and Late Washington
With a note there and I'm thinking of reading
This ain't her, Chris Benoit
Heath Ledger said the nights gon be dark
Feel the size of this Phyillis Hyman note
Apollo Theatre I just might not go
Frankie Lymon the limelight get so
Cold so in a while I'm skitzo
I can't cope, I can't think, I can't breathe, this ain't me
This ain't easy I'm thinking, am I doing this for them or me
I can't think, am I doing this for them or me
Chorus:

Obviously this song is about Wale questioning himself in a relationship going in the wrong direction, but these lyrics really made me think there's something even deeper to it;
In the viper room with just me and river phoenix With Courtney love and late Washington With a note there and I'm thinking of reading This ain't her, Chris Benoit
River Pheonix overdosed on Heroin in 93' in the Viper Room (in LA) and in the same year Kurt Cobain (Courtney Loves husband of course) apparentley "committed suicide" (I believe he was murdered though) the next year in 1994. And the note he refers to is obviously the "suicide note" Kurt left in the greenhouse. Then you have Chris Benoit, who murdered his family then killed himself (a fishy enough story behind all of that). Wale is known to have ties in the Illuminati (he raps about it himself) and all the people just mentioned have/had ties to the Illuminati as well. All suspicious and dramatic/tragic deaths. I would love to know exactly what Wale is saying there exactly, but it's an interesting few lines he threw in there to say the least. I hope to meet him one day and ask him myself. I live near DC and that's where he reps, so who knows!? If I do I will report what he said here first!
