Bait Lyrics by Wale

The Eleven One Eleven Theory

2011

[Intro: Wale]
Work, work, work, work, yeah, you know I got that work
I'm why baby mamas leave, I'm why baby fathers kirk
M-M-M-Maybach Music

[Verse 1: Wale]
Yeah, made it big with go-go, and I made it with that dope flow
This one right here for DC, this one right here for Polo
TMOTT PA Palace flow, Hugo Boss New Balance flow
Here they keep a ratchet close and tend to think irrational
Bait, bait, bait, bait, bet I get like eight of them
They clapping and we balling though, how fitting we at Stadium
(Bait, bait, bait, bait!) BOA, Lil G, Moe, Cobain and Tre
Floor seats at that Wizards game, so close, I could give Flip a play
My mojo back, may just gon' bring H.O.B.O. back
Shout out Chicken getting chicken like my Northeast homie Fats
Who that nigga she fool with? He don't do the same
Baby girl, I just move them! I got that Goodman game

[Chorus: Tone P & Wale]
(Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
Who's on my line? Who's on my line? I'm blowing up
These bitches calling me (Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
I'll snatch your girl if you're slipping, she's on my line like I'm fishing
I got that work, work, work, work, yeah, you know I got that work
I'm why baby mamas leave, I'm why baby fathers kirk
(Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
I'll snatch your girl if you're slipping, double MG, not to mention
We got that

[Verse 2: Wale]
Riding 'round, I got some Towson bait
She said I'm her hideaway, I get her off like a holiday
Yeah, that girl is thick, top heavy for days
That bottom half is fishy, what, you a mermaid?
Getting on my level, joe, Nuvo new and yellow too
They not pulling in no green like smoking when that 'rello broke
Never did I pedal coke but Tony Lewis said I'm dope
And Tony Jr. said I'm the hope, big homie Hov' said I am close
And I got that bait, they all bad
And they gon' fall in and out of love like my partner Taz
They need something to keep, I need something to grab
That's the end of my speech, I'ma need you to clap

[Chorus: Tone P & Wale]
(Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
Who's on my line? Who's on my line? I'm blowing up
These bitches calling me (Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
I'll snatch your girl if you're slipping, she's on my line like I'm fishing
I got that work, work, work, work, yeah, you know I got that work
I'm why baby mamas leave, I'm why baby fathers kirk
(Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
I'll snatch your girl if you're slipping, double MG, not to mention
We got that

[Interlude: Tone P & Wale]
D.C., Maryland, Virginia (Work, work, work)
This the part where I need all my sexy ladies (Work, work)
To report to the dance floor and work (Work, yeah)
Work, work, work (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Start feelin' to this bounce beat shit (Yeah, yeah)
TCB, Wale, talk to them, cuz (Yeah)

[Bridge: Wale]
Work, work, work, work, yeah, you know I got that work
I'm why baby mamas leave, I'm why baby fathers kirk
Work, work, work, all my bait, I gotta work
Aw, your slum, that gotta hurt, this summer's mine, I gotta work
Work, work, work, work, yeah, you know I got that work
I'm why baby mamas leave, I'm why baby fathers kirk
Work, work, work, all my bait, I gotta work (Uh, let's go)
Aw, your slum, that gotta hurt, this summer's mine, I gotta work

[Verse 3: Wale]
I ain't gon' stop 'til the town get on
These jawns here not found at the mall
Shorty I'm a dog but don't handle no broad
I be calling out game like Miles at the farms
Yeah, I'm stuntin' though, shawty from 124
Make her cum a bunch of times, she buys me a bunch of clothes
Girl stop being fallacious, this Mercedes is spacious
Black and white through the city, guess this gentrification
That fire flow, the finest women I adore
I'm cool with all these broads in here
But I do not date Lucaya hoes

[Interlude: Wale]
Bait, bait
Who's on my— let's go, let's go
Yeah (Whoop!)

[Outro: Tone P]
(Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
Who's on my line? Who's on my line? I'm blowing up
These bitches calling me (Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
I'll snatch your girl if you're slipping, she's on my line like I'm fishing
I got that (Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait!)
