Wale ft. Rick Ross & Fabolous - Albert Pujols Lyrics

(1/31/12:)

If Albert Pujols had "Have a song named after me" on his bucket list, he can cross it off now.  As one of STL's former residents this new song from Wale had me hype as soon as it came on.  Not sure which project this new collab with Rick Ross and Fabolous will land on, but enjoy regardless!
