I know Howard that college, but uptown has some problems

from Wale – DC Or Nothing Lyrics on Rap Genius

Howard University is a prominent HBCU in D.C., located right near the best restaurant in the universe

The school is located in Northern D.C. (Uptown), near where most of the D.C. violence, poverty, and drugs are. Wale points out the irony of a successful, historically black university located in Washington, DC (Howard) amidst the social struggles of its surrounding community.
