Lupe Fiasco - SLR Lyrics

[Pharrell Williams]
I said think about your future
You can’t do that tomorrow
But you don’t hear a word, you see that SLR

[Lupe Fiasco]
O’ ye told ‘en in the souls
My goal is to sit on the globe like North Poles
And that’s the top mane; goin’ hammer like a glock can
All flowing grammar; no shots strayin’
I’m so sober when I speak
I call it catchin’ bullets with my teeth
You can feel it in your chest
Like Bruce Lee jumpin’ on your vest
But I can’t feel yours through my Superman “S”
latestvideolyrics.blogspot.com
Yes, I’m Superman’d-out
Red Cartier look like Superman’s house
Inshallah to my plan hope it super pans out
My life is like Italians doin’ 100 miles
And the top open like the roofer ran outta towels
Walk right into Felipe’s when I ran outta Chow’s
Next up is crustaceans and fast food halals
The beef is all the same, it’s just how they kill the cows
Somebody tell Malcom X that I’m tryna steal his style
And tell Cornell West that I’m tryna steal his fro
Go back in time, take the slaves plows, shovels, and they hoes
The masters get the “It Was Written” intro
SLR 10-4
SLR 10-4
Soundtrakk let the beat go
Soundtrakk let the beat roll

[Hook]
In this world I’m so alone
In a category all on my own
Cause I tell the world what I want to
Yeah I tell the world what I want to

Man I feel so alone
They treat me like an Outcast
Cause I tell the world what I want to
But you can’t tell me what you gon’ do

[Verse 2]
‘Cause nigga I don’t believe that
Like 9/11 came from Iraq
Mayweather on the speed bag
Automatic weapons keep it same rhythm he has
That’s how the hood sound
Grew up in the hood town
West side ghetto, Windy City could count
Black skies lookin’ up, crack pipes lookin’ down
Accused of not lookin’ back, blind nigga look around
City on my back, so the CHI go everywhere I’m at
Presence so shiny, Mercedes so mack
Cop that from Platinum, the color of my plaque
I memorize colors off of Yo! MTV Raps
A nightmare walkin’ in a psychopath’s map
Defeat your purpose like a weed stash in the rehab
Guess who’s sneakin’ in the weed bags
They be me with my mean ass
Not tryna be anything but free as
Flow is so nuts, the track is getting’ teabagged
Just wanna rap nice, that ain’t me tagged
If you wanna be mean, then you wanna be me bad
Call it bein’ Pretty Lyrically Swag
Soulja call it Super Lupe Lyrical
You can’t understand me nor mimic my miracles
All I see is me and Im a mother lovin’ mirror full
Bein’ dope is all in the muscle
It’s more than just a pause and a chuckle
I bench press elephants, and bowlin’ ball juggle
So dont be scared to take the Super Lu route
Top 5 alive and I only got 2 out!
School ya on your history, I tell ya what you ’bout
Fight for all the right things and let the Huey New out
Pharrell what these niggas talkin’ bout?
2 man Big Pun, a 1 man Slaughterhouse
A 2 album Jay-Z, a 1 nigga Wu-Tang
Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin’ Lil Wayne
I don’t care for similarities
Cause I’m a pioneer, not a parody
These are bars, this is barbarity
SLR… Clarity

[Hook]
In this world I’m so alone
In a category all on my own
‘Cause I tell the world what I want to
Yeah I tell the world what I want to

Man I feel so alone
They treat me like an Outcast
Cause I tell the world what I want to
But you can’t tell me what you gon’ do

[Verse 3]
Holy shock and awe, cattle prods
All up in the action where the fraction of the catalog
All my peers, I ain’t doin’ numbers like Amazon
but I’m here, and I’m revered
Lyric boy, Based King, Master Chef, All City Chess moves makin ‘ [?] Diggy CRS fool
Carrera Era, pan Amera, F-Tool, Emperor, Free Chilly nigga, FNF Rules
Ye, what these niggas talkin’ bout?
A Jesus in the desert walkin’, Dundee walkabout
A self imposed exile, learn to let the awesome out
Even if I was homeless I would still have an awesome house
Cause the world is mine, Lupe to the rescue, the world is fine
Words and lines of mine, I feel are better than every rapper in the world combined!
And that’s how you do it
Everything flow, everything fluid
Stupid with the raps, but the raps never stupid
Trakk on the music, SLR ruthless
And the next whip is that Ferrari cart
Game over - body parts

[Hook]
In this world I’m so alone
In a category all on my own
Cause I tell the world what I want to
Yeah I tell the world what I want to

Man I feel so alone
They treat me like an Outcast
Cause I tell the world what I want to
But you can’t tell me what you gon’ do

Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On Lyrics

[Chorus x2:]
Alright, already the show goes on
All night, till the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!

[Verse 1:]
Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had
Don’t that shit make you mad
They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul,
And put whips up on your back,
They be lying through they teeth
Hope you slip up off your path
I don’t switch up I just laugh
Put my kicks up on they desk
Unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass
See that’s how that Chi-Town made me
That’s how my daddy raised me
That glittering may not be gold, don’t let no body play me
If you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up, when times are hard you stand up
L-U-P the man, cause a brand that the fans trust
So even if they ban us they’ll never slow my plans up!

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]
One in the air for the people that ain’t here
Two in the air for the father that’s there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids who don’t wanna be there
None for the niggas trying to hold them back
Five in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids thats living in the ghetto
That the niggas holdin back that the World is theirs!
Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy
Terrified of the World
Now I’m on a World tour
I will give up everything, even start a world war
For these ghettos girls and boys im rapping round’ the World for!
Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland
Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy
Tell em’ look at me, boy!
I hope your son don’t have a gun and that would be a D-boy

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3:]
So no matter what you been through
No matter what you into
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
Brown grass or green grass
Picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down
You just lift your arms higher
Raise em till’ your arms tired
Let em’ know you’re their
That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere
Yeah, ain’t no body leavin, no body goin’ home
Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin’ on!

[Chorus x2]

Lupe Fiasco - Shining Down Lyrics

Look up in the sky
Look up in the sky

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
That I went around
Thought I left you alone

But look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that I’m everywhere
Shining down on you

Well well, is it our little author
Coming back humming his hymns a little altered
Your attention put back on the flow like the department of water
Taking off of the door like Little Walter(…)
Chess yes baby i’m Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause, outlaw with a lawyer
Judge jury like a loop(…) rap name Lupe
But my daddy named me warrior
This is a memorial

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
That I went around
Thought I left you alone

But look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that I’m everywhere
Shining down on you

No, i ain’t the nigga trying to get a liquor line
When i be scripting lines, want this petition signed
It says i’m sick of dying, sick of this prison time
I really love my people i’m sick of pimping mine

Now if we autotune that shit
We can hear the songs from that opera grown fat b*tch
Tellin us not to pursue it just to shoo it like a blacksmith
We trapped and movin round in circles like it’s chapstick

And that’s the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with
Well wrap this like around your head like the bandanas
Fabolous used to wrap his hat with
Rather be in FEDS instead of National Geographics
Well I’m not having it

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
That I went around (…)
Thought I left you alone

But look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that I’m everywhere
Shining down on you

So i say hello and this is for the third time
To everybody out there that ain’t never heard lines
And if you have then you know you ain’t never heard lyin
Lu don’t move no cowards (cow-words), you only heard lions
Not a facade cherisher i’d rather have the scars
I don’t idolize America, i’m dancing with the stars
All of them yeah they are too
You look up and all of us shining down on you

Lupe Fiasco - Dumb It Down Lyrics

(feat. Gemini)

[Verse 1:]
I’m fearless
Now hear this
I’m earless
And I’m peer-less
That means I’m eyeless
Which means I’m tearless
Which means my iris resides where my ears is
Which means I’m blinded
But I’mma find it I can feel it’s nearness
But I’mma veer so I don’t come near
Like a chicken or a deer
But I remember I’m not a listener or a seer so my windshield smear
Here, you steer, I really shouldn’t be behind this, clearly cause my blindness
The windshield is minstrel, the whole grill is roadkill, so trill and so sincere. Yeah, I’m both them there
Took both pills, when a bloke in a trench coat and the locs in the chair had approached him here
And he clear as a ghost, so a biter of the throats in the mirror
The writer of the quotes for the ghosts who supplier of the notes to the living
Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies, given to the mother of the deceased. Awaken at war, ’til I’m restin’ in peace

[Chorus 1:]
You goin’ over niggas’ heads Lu (Dumb it down)
They tellin’ me that they don’t feel you (Dumb it down)
We ain’t graduate from school nigga (Dumb it down)
Them big words ain’t cool nigga (Dumb it down)
Yeah I heard Mean And Vicious nigga (Dumb it down)
Make a song for the bitches nigga (Dumb it down)
We don’t care about the weather nigga (Dumb it down)
You’ll sell more records if you (Dumb it down)

[Verse 2:]
And I’m mouthless
Which means I’m soundless
Now as far as the hearing, I’ve found it
It was as far as the distance from an earring to the ground is
But the doorknockers on the ear of a stewardess in a Lear
She fine and she flyin, I feel I’m flying by’em ’cause my mind’s on cloud nine and in her mind at the same time
Pimp C the wings on the underground king
Who’s also Klingon
To infinity and beyond
Something really stinks, but I Spinks like Leon
Or lying in the desert
I’m flying on Pegasus you’re flying on the pheasant
Rider of the white powder, picker of the fire flowers, spit hot fire like Dylon on Chappelle’s skit
Yeah, smell it on my unicorn, don’t snort the white horse, but toot my own horn (sleep)

[Chorus 2:]
You’ve been shedding too much light Lu (Dumb it down)
You make’em wanna do right Lu (Dumb it down)
They’re getting self-esteem it down)
These girls are trying to be queens Lu (Dumb it down)
They’re trying to graduate from school Lu (Dumb it down)
They’re starting to think that smart is cool Lu (Dumb it down)
They’re trying to get up out the hood Lu (Dumb it down)
I’ll tell you what you should do (Dumb it down)

[Verse 3:]
And I’m brainless
Which means I’m headless
Like Ichabod Crane is
Or foreplay-less sex is
Which makes me stainless
With no neck left to hang the chain with
Which makes me necklace-less
Like a necklace theft
And I ain’t used my headrest yet
They said they need proof like a vestless chest ’bout the best, fair F-F-jet in the nest
Who exudes confidence and excess depth
Even Scuba Steve would find it hard to breathe
Around these leagues
My snorkle is a tuba, Lu the ruler around these seas
Westside Poseidon, Westside beside’em, chest high and rising
Almost touching the knees of stewardess and the pilot
Lucky they make you flowered
Personal floating devices, tricks falling out of my sleeves
David Blaine
Make it rain
You Make a boat
I make a plane
Then, I pull the plug and I make it drain
Until I feel like flowing and filling it up again..(Westside)

[Chorus 3:]
You putting me to sleep nigga (Dumb it down)
That’s why you ain’t popping in the streets nigga (Dumb it down)
You ain’t winning no awards nigga (Dumb it down)
Robots and skateboards nigga? (Dumb it down)
GQ Man Of The Year G? (Dumb it down)
Shit ain’t rocking over here B (Dumb it down)
Won’t you talk about your cars nigga? (Dumb it down)
And what the fuck is goyard nigga (Dumb it down)
Make it rain for the chicks (Dumb it down)
Pour champagne on a bitch (Dumb it down)
What the fuck is wrong with you? (Dumb it down)
How can I get on a song with you? (Dumb it down)

[Gemini: talking]
Look B, here’s my man, my two way, (hey) uh, what should I - ah here take this (hey) that right there, fuck what my boys talk about nigga, (hey) nigga you hot to me, I like you (Dumb it down)

[Lupe:]
Bishop G, they told me I should come down cousin, but I flatly refuse I ain’t dumb down nothing

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar Lyrics

(ft. Matthew Santos)

[normal Chorus:]
If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera’s here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh

[Verse 1:]
Yea, uh
A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Want to believe my own hype but it’s too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design?
Did you do something new?
Well your name ain’t on the guest list
Who brung you? You
The more famous person, you come through
And the sexy lady next to you
You come too
And then it hit me
Standing outside of heaven waiting for God to come and get me
I’m too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And too gum shoe
Too much of a newcomer
And too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle
I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who sung blue
Go back what ever you did you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on me two tonnes too

[normal Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down through the basement
Past the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
And out through China
Nearly misses air liners
Magnified times five
This is pointed at the rhymer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that’s important to say
Cuz even with all of that
Most of us don’t want it to fade
We want it to braid
Meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to stay
Like the governor called
And they told him to wait
Un-strap him from the chair
And put him back in his cage
The audience ain’t fazed
And they ain’t gon’ clap and they ain’t gon’ praise
They want everything back that they paid
Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

(chorus)

If you are what you say you are
a superstar
then have no fear
the crowd is here
and the lights are on and they want a show
oh oh oh oh yeah

[Verse 3:]
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I been standing in this line
For like five whole days
Me and security ain’t getting along
And when I got to the front they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown
M&M’s are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don’t flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every song’s a favorite song
And mics don’t feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha

[normal chorus)
If you are what you say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear
The camera’s is here
and the microphones and they wanna know
Oh oh oh oh yeah
If you are what you say you are
Then have no fear
