Acapella

Wale · Other Songs - Wale

I said my name Wale, if you don't know me

You better read a book or something, this is D.C

By way of PG, we call that DMV

This song about you, then you probably need to leave

Pew! Diggity- go girl, you need to go for it

Jordan 4s won't find me in no loafers

Hold up, Maryland, I am so tour

I've been so thorough, that's what I boast for

I know you thinking, "I ain't gotta go there"

You sitting at the bar wearing Barbaro's hair

Yeah, that ain't you love, you can't fool love

Blue eyes but she blacker than Kunta

We don't believe you, you need more people

You need more grease in your hair, so they weaves you

Shake your hair like them track ain't coming out

Bartender, no ice, bring another shot

And I ain't tryna be trife when I call 'em out

I just call it like I see, know what I'm talking 'bout?

I gotta tell you right now

As much as I wanna leave

I gotta know if it's real or not

Ain't nothing fake about me

So if you wanna leave

I gotta know if it's real or not

Is it real or not?

Acapella

Wale's "Acapella" stands as a defining track from his 2013 album The Gifted, showcasing his signature blend of R&B and hip-hop. The song features a minimalist production that highlights Wale's vocal versatility, delivering smooth melodies and rhythmic flows characteristic of his work during the early 2010s. Released alongside hits like "Bad (Remix)" and "Love Hate Thing," the track exemplifies the polished, emotive style that helped establish him as a prominent figure in contemporary American music. Its enduring appeal lies in its clean arrangement and Wale's ability to convey deep sentiment through voice alone, making it a staple in his discography.
