Yeah Warm Up

La-la-la-la la-la-la-la la-la-la

Ayy yeah

Fayettenam

Now I am

Here's to the Roc

Hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell 'em

Mr. Fayettenam

Mr. Roc-a-Fella

Wave your glasses your glasses your glasses to the sky and

Here's to the Roc

Yeah Warm Up

This is the last call for alcohol this is The Warm Up

Mr. Roc-a-Fella

Warm Up yeah look

Now to the few niggas out there who heard my last ****

Which if I must say so myself that was a classic

I never been the type to ride my own coat tail

But it's obvious I'm here to stay a ******* hotel

I came up I warmed up the next up I blow up

If you ain't peep the trend by now with each rap I go up

Look all he wanted was a deal so when he got it he just faded

But tell me what's a deal when you wanna be the greatest?

So Jay I appreciate it hell of a steppin' stone

Wonder if he see it in my eyes I'm tryna get the throne

Wonder if the people know how many nights I spent alone

Makin' beats writin' rhymes thinkin' deep fightin' time

Gettin' better but wasn't gettin' younger

And all that time can make the most confident nigga wonder

But never doubted or allowed that **** to phase me yo

Just switched my thoughts up like the stations on the radio

Nigga now I am

Here's to the Roc

Yeah yeah and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell 'em

Mr. Fayettenam

Mr. Roc-a-Fella

Wave your glasses your glasses your glasses to the sky and

Here's to the Roc

Ayy I'm just gettin' warmed up my nigga

Hey this the last call for alcohol this is The Warm Up yeah

Mr. Roc-a-Fella

So get your back up off the wall yeah

Now may I never slip up or let my grip up

I know my girl be prayin'

Lord just keep his pants zipped up

Now if some groupie ***** is on his d**k then make it stiff up

At least give the nigga common sense to wrap his d**k up

Toast let's lift up our glasses and sip up

We fly past they look up they don't last they give up

They don't blast we clip up then empty

And indeed we hit the target yes

These niggas think they the **** and they ain't even farted yet

Style incomplete like a garbage-a*s quarterback my offense is for real

Ayy **** sacked

Niggas gettin' coffined in the Ville way too often and it feels wrong

New York niggas **** with me I got 'em singin' Ville songs

Guess it's only right because we grew up singin' they ****

Big **** Mase **** Nas **** Jay ****

Time for a Carolina nigga to take his place with the greats

A slim nigga makin' bold statements uh

Ayy J. Cole how you do that there?

I hear you're blowin' up my nigga

I'm like true that yeah

In NY but smile every time I flew back there

That Carolina Fayettenam oh yeah my crew back there

I go home been so long they sayin'

You back here?

It took a turn for the worse boy don't move back here

Don't do that yo who that?

He rep the Ville when he spit it

Told you he'd be back with a record deal and he did it nigga

**** spinnin' on my pivot homie

I'm finna travel 'til the refs blow the whistle on me

I got a whole ******* city that's just sittin' on me

But yet it fits on my back my state is sittin' on that

Will I drop? I think not I get up while they stop

Like the sleeves on tank tops they ain't give it all they got

So they flop so hey watch how I'm finna take they spot

Now I'm startin' and they not let me show you how to stay hot

I play not man I'm killin' 'em even your idols feelin' 'em dog

The same nigga used to chill in the mall

While they was still in the mall I was up there spillin' my rap

The hero fightin' villains just to put the Ville on the map

Now I am

Here's to the Roc

Yeah yeah and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell 'em

Mr. Fayettenam

Mr. Roc-a-Fella

Wave your glasses your glasses your glasses to the sky and

Here's to the Roc

Hey yeah this the last call for alcohol

This is the ******* Warm Up yeah

Mr. Roc-a-Fella

Get your a*s up off the wall yeah

Yeah man so **** this was The Warm Up

Um what can I say what can I say?

If you heard The Come Up you know what that was about

Just a lil' nigga from North Carolina man

Fayettenam to be exact

Moved to NYC

Um you know chasin' the dream

I used college if y'all niggas don't know

I used college as like the tool to get to New York

That's all I really had

I ain't have no family up here or nothin' like that

I came up here on a scholarship nigga went to college

And the and the whole time

I ain't even think I was gon' have to finish college

I just thought you know I'd be signed by like my freshman year

So I wouldn't have to finish college

But it didn't happen like that obviously

Nigga graduated um and things started fallin' into place

I got way more focused I dropped The Come Up

And I look at The Come Up like niggas like

Like how kinda how when I was in high school

Just picture this The Warm Up is about a nigga

Who did not make the team when he tried out

And I know it's a lotta niggas out there that know that feeling man

You try out you you think you deserve to be on the team

And you go that day to look at the cut list

You wake up you know you can't even sleep you just like

Damn I'm gon' make the team tomorrow I did my thing in tryouts

You go to the list

All the niggas is lookin' at they names on the list

Some niggas is like

Aw **** I see my name I'm good I'm good nigga

I'm good I see my name

And you lookin' for your name

And you kinda playin' the back

Tryna wait 'til niggas clear out 'cause you not sure

And you go to the list and and your name ain't there

Like and you like

How the **** did I not make this team?

I'm better than him I'm better than him I'm better than him

So a lotta niggas either quit or some niggas'll go harder

So that's how I kinda took the rap ****

When I put out The Come Up

'Cause ever since I was like fifteen

I thought I was supposed to be signed

But it didn't hap you know obviously ****

Everything happens for a reason

So **** fast forward to The Warm Up this is just me like you know

Bein' that nigga that's practicin' and makin' sure it's no way

It's undeniable that when I go to tryouts

There's no way the ******* coach is passin' up on me my nigga

So that's what this whole mixtape was about and lo and behold you know

As I'm finishin' up the mixtape the deal come

You know?

Thank God I'm blessed everything happens for a reason

And it couldn't have been with a more *******

With a better ******* squad nigga I got

You you know the niggas I got on my squad

If you if you listen to this

Then you might've heard who I signed with

I ain't even gon' blast it off like that

Shout out to you know Mark Pitts definitely

You know?

Shout out my nigga Mike Rooney my nigga E

Shout out my whole ******* crew man

That's what The Warm Up is about man

RJ what's good?

Mike Shaw my nigga Mez Mez held me down nigga

More than anybody in the ******* in the whole crew honestly

You know what I'm sayin'?

So **** let's get it man

We got a lotta **** comin' for '09 for '010 '011 '0-goddamn-35

That's all I got man that's The Warm Up man I made the team

So when you go from makin' the team now what you gotta do nigga?

You gotta start

You gotta be a starter you gotta make it to college

You gotta make it from college to the league nigga

Trust me I ain't get no ******* deal and relax man
