Lupe Fiasco - SNDCLSH In Vegas Lyrics

let's go, hah
it's some fresh new vans on my fresh new plans
? 'til you nigga know you can, ha
change these nuts, shout to fox news tryin' ta change me up
? but i still don't vote
cause niggas on the ballot and there's still no hope
so i'm back in the hood, ? with the inglewood
doin' work that i prolly should, good
blocks do they best tryin' to break my heart
tryin' to make you smile when i make my art
occupy forever, more intense than ?
?
any good man
sorry ? but i'm so involved
you ask limbaugh to return my calls

yeah, atlantic on the fritz
cause i might not step foot back in that bitch
? and jerry sandusky
gracious pedophiles and rapists, in high places
not to mention slavery and slave ships
come on lu, gon' and keep it out the past
tell jerry's cellmate try and keep it out his ass
what happened to the class? all the low blows
i guess that most of the kids are black from the choke holds
?
yup, hip hop back with a vengeance
spirit of tough d but a whole lot of entrance
just inches from the interest
not ? is nice, but to knock it off the hinges, huh

i'm just playin', i'm just playin'
you know i like y'all
well, some of y'all
but you know who i'm talking to, i rock with y'all
you know we do it big
atlantic records first and fifteenth all day
yeah, let's go

soundclash in vegas, only dropping those new cascade hits
let's see how crazy the rave gets
might play my 2pac favorites
me and sky back in the labs
q came through with beats by the back
shout to bassnec, count all that cash
whatever you do, don't drop that flash
watch is stll gold, chain is still gold
feelin' brand new, ferrari still old
got the dreads cause marley still cold
gtr but call me real slow
? me real close
like the speed of the light when i be on roads
flow like i be on roids and i be on ten when i be on tour

Lupe Fiasco Ft. Dosage - Friend Of The People Lyrics

friend! friend!

lu, cool, no, more doors
porsche or, no, more doors, sedan
hmmm, 4-more, no, more doors, more doors than that
lord of the rings, that frodo went to war for, you'll see more war than
world war 4 or lord of war when nicolas lost his 'brothor'
brougham, no, man, too slow for my program
need punk rock, not slow jams, mosh pits not hold hands
or slow dance, or romance, i'll take this bitch like lo pan
put her right into do’s hands, tell her how this gon' go, man

animals, animals, we are more like cannibals
follow rules, what rules? we don't ever answer to
no king tuts, no presidents, this is more like a ritual
what am i scared of death for? life is just an interlude

let's begin this interview, i know they got a lot of questions
i dont have on a unitard, but i can answer the detective
none of these dicks can trace me, i don't go that direction
this is the beginning of a massacre, i'm tired of getting treated like a step-kid

this where i step in, cause this dosage from philly and he so sick
he's my friend, so he's your friend, it's who lupe fiasco's with

they wanna know if i'm insane, i just don't accept defeat
but since i'm nominated this is gonna be my acceptance speech
your big bro requestin' me 'cuz i'm a friend of the people and i'm next to be
in the game, i don't hear the referees whistling technically
dixie, let me sing!

i forever see
don't go back or forever be a slave to the nation
touche, lupe, this is history in the making

we so in smithsonians when the story ends
we was there when the story started, making history before we's artists
you know we's targets: tar-get, it's always star shit
or shall i say hot-wired, ride around reckless and double-park it
look how many fines that the car get
take the boots off it, throw the tickets in the garbage
then go to court just to get up on some smart shit
tell the motherfucking judge it's all ours, bitch

Lupe Fiasco Ft. Howard Zinn - Introduction Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco Ft. Howard Zinn - Introduction Lyrics

we have to stop wars, we have to stop this war
and we have to get out the habit of war
it's more than a habit, it's an addiction
we have to get out of thinking that we must be a military superpower

we must get out of thinking that we must have military bases, as we have in a hundred countries
is it possible that having military bases in a hundred countries arouses a lot of antagonism?
is it possible that it promotes terrorism when your soldiers and your sailors are all over the world, occupying this country and that? is it possible?

why do we have to be a military superpower?
why can't we be a humanitarian superpower?
instead of sending planes for bombs
why don't we send planes for food and medicine?

oh shit, it's one of the machines
looks like it's trapped under something, it's broken or something
hold on lemme get my keyboard, i can re-program this thing
no seriously, i can do it -- just give me a second!
i swear to god i can do this, man, i can do this!
you have to work!

reprogramming unsuccessful

i kill people

all right, this is the last time

reprogramming successful

yes!

fight... evil...

Lupe Fiasco - WWJD He'd Prolly LOL Like WTF!!! Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco - WWJD He'd Prolly LOL Like WTF!!! Lyrics

really? this is what you guys been doing?
searching

before the break there were none
and as it broke there was one
from moon to sun, it goes on and on
the winter battle was won, the summer children were born
and so the story goes on and on
come on woman in your left beats
those in bed with the house keys
so fair weather feels heartbreak from here to eternity
come on woman in your wrong time
far far far from the virgin pine
rise on now from the dead leaves
come back to me
oh, she sings her favorite song
left to her tears and dreams, it goes on

standing in line for the new one
not the black, but the blue one
and i don't even know what it do, son
steve jobs said that it's too fun
fun in a bun is what i need
it's cold out here, put my arms in the sleeves
i'll probably lose my place if i leave
but i really need to pee
if i do it right here they'll see
makes you wonder, how do snipers
marathon bikers
next time: diapers
they say it has all new features
faster processors and much better speakers
great for kids, a necessity for teachers
for work or home, a revolutionary way of being alone
i mean, should we really get a loan?
hey what's the manager's..tell it to your phone
cupertino heart with chinese parts
built by the poor, but designed by the smart
they open the door so you go
on your mark, get ready, set, buy
imagine a world where everything starts with an i
but it still ends with a die
probably got an app for that, you could try
brother iclouds, right into the great wifi
siri, can igod really hear me?
"does not compute -- can you repeat more clearly?"
"woaaaaah"

a vessel in the bloodline
a thirteenth zodiac sign
a stitch in time, it goes on and on

standing in line for some new ones
had a bunch of blessings but i blew them
asked google how to use them
sent me to a section about used guns
new runs, nuns'll scream, moms with jeans
match their teens' jeans and genies who try to chew gum
aw man, it's so confusing
confusion in the bun is what i have
good thing that god accepts cash
maybe buy my way out his wrath
sceptically, why am i way off this path?
atheism's cheaper, and accepts visa
my thoughts is in queing up for sneakers
won't discriminate, getting all eight
in every color that they make
beaverton hearts with chinese parts
built by the poor and designed by the smart
on your mark, get set, cop em!
imagine a life that revolves around shopping
conspicuous consumption
that means it serves no other function
but to show off to someone
others who only try to show off to you -- look at your fellow loyal customers
isn't harmony great?
look at all these friends that marketing makes
how many fries can these arteries take?
i'll give mcdonald's a little help here
i think they should expand into health care
and then you'll have all ends covered
even make caskets, have it all umbrella'd
can you make a corporation fear me?
"couldn't hear your order, can you speak less clearly?"

that witch was burning the ground
will someday come back around
from dust from to dust it goes on and on

before daybreak there were none
and as it broke there was one
and still the story goes on and on

Lupe Fiasco - Life, Death AND Love From San Francisco Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco - Life, Death AND Love From San Francisco Lyrics

she said love is a hard thing
somewhere between golfing and gardening
or parole board pardoning
but she was still down for a hard swing
flowers she would pick like guitar strings
for a real good whiff
of how life behind par seems
until then she a bar-teend
and poor hot lead shots out of carbines
if an inmate ever even think about departing
before it's time for the theft of a hard thing
wanna see what a bum riding bar dreams
before he get gunned down, cause some sharp scene
saw it all on the way to the art scene
around the time they kicked us out, they had the park cleaned
she ain't living in a car she just rv-ing
life on ice like the san jose shark team
hard times, tryna duck em like darkwing
known for burning clothes and petty car-keying
and other less harmful skylarking
bought a bag out of american rag
a small chinese-made american flag
took a dollar bill then split it in half
the picture that she bought wouldn't fit in the cab
on the train trying her best not to live in the past
a bum probably asked could he spit in her ass
and that was it, fits, tantrums random
helter-skelter, a world gone manson

and i'll spare you the details
dinner is ceviche out of seashells
annoyed cause her date really can't speak well
but she forced to press on like lee nails
next table was abhored by the weed smell
she was done at the moment that the tea fell
a thick wool jacket on a cool night
unimpressed by poems or the moonlight
doesn't satisfy her like a game of pool might
thinking "what if fantasia had a broom strike?"
tuned right out of that school life
soon as reality became a camera crew and a boom mic
so what do you do like?
she said "absurd last words from a dude off a zoosk site"
and then left him
like the roots left geffen
and the state howlin' wolf left chess in
stop to watch flows have an unpaid session on the steps of a westin
she really need to check in
and to apologize to her best friend
new bras to put her chest in
love life and death in...

Lupe Fiasco - Double Burger With Cheese Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco - Double Burger With Cheese Lyrics

ohio
tennessee
california
endlessly
right on, right on
right on, right on

laid back, villain on the smooth tip
all things gravy, greatest fear to let the groove slip
always tell the masters that it's never gon' stop
cause you never gon' do shit
magnify justice over long lost blues riffs
mop up, sop up the tears for fears with a q-tip
they proceeds to poke out they eyes with a toothpick
remember when larenz tate beat terrence with the pool stick
or when caine pistol whipped chauncy and that fool snitched
sent the tape to bill duke, would've went to jail
if he wouldn't have got killed in that drive-by by the dude he kicked
he was like, "it ain't mine"
and she was like, "you the only guy that i do it with"
remember when 'pac and q start fightin' over steel's house
they broke a vase, steel scream, rahim told 'em to chill out
the jheri curl blood that bumped ricky eating chips
the same guy they was looking for when ice cube stopped to let cuba out the whip
and wan' it sad how loco had to have it?
ain't it funny when they caught t-bone, dancing with that rabbit
didn't rocket have the same gun that the old man shot og bobby johnson's son in the back with
or do i got it backwards
and bobby johnson was the one that put his fist up to the glass
and caine put his fist up and dapped it
and chicago and regina had sex inside the mail truck
they left his ass, he reached down to get his hairbrush
and tré lied to furious, sitting down get his hair cut

yeah, do you remember these
double burger with cheese
double burger with cheese
double burger with cheese, huh

caine told him as he jacked him at the drive-thru
a hundred bucks will tell who rider mask put the knife to
another hundred for the cop who chased new jersey drive crew
the group who took ricky ball, crip or piru
kicked doughboy and told him he could buy a hundred balls
little bobby used his bed to iron out his overalls
who knew in a few he would have a gun aimed
caine had a nigga's daytons skatin' on his mustang
remember when the whole crowd stopped and got tense
then they cheered when steel put his hand up on the fence
then when gee money first got mad to the cocaine
and chris tucker od'ed there watching soul train
cam'ron shot him in the car and took his gold chain
nino was free till he met up with that old man
and ice-t was there and he oversaw the whole thing
mello lost his legs just to get up out the dope game
why he throw his gun into the river, though?
just to hit the roof to get the juice and let bishop go
show hodges love, but the pac man day came
'specially after sprayed little ese with the spray paint
remember when bobby took off his tear
and when doughboy disappeared
after his brother died and he said nobody cared
i still do, after all these years
because he should've played ball
ricky ain't deserve none of that at all
these are just a illustration
of a few scenes to help raise a generation

Lupe Fiasco - Lupe Back Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco - Lupe Back Lyrics

yield, to the forces of darkness
i bring you the torches of our shit
reinforced with hardness of wolverine's
arms with the harshness and overall sharpness
now how far do the arms get?
my nigga, from the stars to the starfish
from the baby to the bomb
it's a whole lot of light and a whole lot of armlift
my arms long, but i'm lawless
a strong arm, i can lift up all this
you gon' have to build a bigger farm for us
to keep them wolves out of old macdonald barn, bitch
yeah, team jacob
we're long armed, put my arms on a lear
everytime i put my hands in the air
watch the throne as i dance in the chair
throw my crown in the crowd, hope it lands on the heir
the weak niggas like to pass interfere
spend a lot of lint over jams in the year
that act like the man up in here
that don't count when your only real fan is a mirror
that's subliminal to any nigga that he feel he is too
but you don't stand a chance, playa
i am there, chi-town, fan of the bears
love where they dance in the square
yeah, yankees too, but only cause granderson there
and now wears khaki pants on la brea
we all friends, why your man lookin' scared?
turning whiter than anderson hair
came out the garage like he saw a phantom in there, huh

oh shit alert, louis clothes
callin women bitches, louboutin and gucci shows
well, i guess there goes my louis shows
more o shit, if your role model's a movie role
and if you live your life like it's a studio
talkin' to it's like we mics, a bunch of you ain't do befo'
electric fences for a urinal
also keep a toaster in my jacuzzi, yo
shock-a-zulu, call me wasalu ii
oh shit, man these record labels prostitute you
strap them to sushi bars, and feed em lots of fugu
catch a bad piece
you can stick that 360 between your asscheeks
artists let's mobilize and unionize like the athletes
radio is making our craft weak
forced to repeat the same dumb shit that work
only as hot as your last beat
and rappers, they relating to that last piece
album never leave they desk if you don't got no b.d.s
sacrifice your publishin', they said you really need a hook
and they ain't gon' pay you, said that you received a look
and what's stupid real, is what producers feel
twenty placements or you stuck in that producer deal
and r&b chicks so get it the wildest
all they money goes to hairdressers and stylists
gotta keep up with that image
label lose they mind if they ever see a blemish
proactive impels, air brushers and trainers
managers suggest you fuck a nigga to be famous, huh
but it's all entertainment
wonder when cobain blew out his brains, did he blame it?
and if those snakes in the industry helped him aim it
started pressing up records before the bullet left the chamber
i fight evil, everyday i'm livin'
rest in peace to men, women and the children
and middle fingers to the pilgrims that killed 'em
friend of the people, happy thanksgiving

Lupe Fiasco Ft. Ellie Goulding, Bassnectar - LightWork Lyrics

Lupe Fiasco Ft. Ellie Goulding, Bassnectar - LightWork Lyrics

[elle goulding]
i had a way then, losing it all on my own
i had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
and i’m not sleeping now
the dark is too hard to beat
and i’m not keeping up the strength i need to push me
you sure the lights don’t stop me
turn to stone shining when i’m alone
and so i tell myself that i am strong
dreaming when they’re gone
cause they’re calling, calling, calling
calling, calling, calling
you sure the lights don’t stop me
turn to stone shining when i’m alone

[verse 1 - lupe fiasco]
so, what do you bunches stand for?
dreads in the sky, i and i
2 new vans on a land 4
take that back, make that 2 new shoes on a van floor
me and my band out on that road
on a never-back-down-from-a-stance tour
yeah, touch more souls than a dancefloor
while they touch less tours than a hand or
ceiling fan or wait, let me tell ya slower
lift my fans up to the to the ceiling
and you’ll never touch the floor
now if noah need a rower, i’ll be there with my oar
til we get back to the shore
dad made me a soldier, gi joe to these cobras
tryna fbi my panther, cia my sankofa
infiltrate my carter, illuminate my culture
while they watching through that bunker
but i stay up on my hustle
turn that belt back on theyself
now i watch them scream for help
like africa need aid, or black women as maids
uncover undercovers turn those maids to ?mothers
take the hero out the nino, keep it real as treble trouble huh?
or maybe cartoon martin on the boondocks
flip the script on chicks who think they shit smells like perfume shops
half them girls find beauty without a magazine or movie
she delila with them 45 or keisha with that uzi
now i know that’s contradiction, wants and needs and competition
but it’s hard to stay on point with such extremes in opposition
while we waiting on that compromise, proceed with that conscious eye
new gang alert: hashtag #occupies
repping to the death of me, fnf what’s left in me
all my hate is for the fake recipes for ?
only time i wrestle’s when i’m wrestling with sex and lean
only way i settle if we wrestle over everythig
i know that don’t mix like ecstasy and ketamine
funny how i’m only sick if you never catch a thing
argue with your friends over what really the record means
back and forth about it’s course, with professor’s refereeing
why he so rebellious? up-front with his realness?
they wanna be fiasco’s, reproduce his failures
emperor is his alias, but not marcus aurelius
this is more like sparta: kick you down a well, kid
and on my last check, i copped that nsx just like pharrell did
well did, better days to come
my only promise is i’ll never ruin the young
i’ll never human and sung lyrics in a spirit thats
super human to some, keep you pursuin’ the sun of
slums, plus, get up outta them, plus never forget
this is where you from plus
make sure that you ballin when you come back up in them, plus
we don’t die, multiply, every single come-up
a rumpa-pum-pum-yup

[hook]

Jay Sean Ft. Lupe Fiasco - Say Yeah Lyrics

when we was young, we used to laugh about
..we should run away, run far and distant place
it was hope, but nobody let us see
that we were from two different worlds
and you were meant to be my girl!

chorus:
...but i can’t deny how...
the same things crossed my mind
then maybe we should get away
i’ve got one thing left to say
girl if you... baby to say the words
..into the night
..some twist and turns
... but we ride it together, good job!

babe, think about it,
cause we can take you to another level if you really want!
and there ain’t no doubt about it
we ain’t getting any younger
so if you really wanna go there,
say the words, baby!

god knows that we tried
oh, they tried,
but you know that i can’t...
the same things crossed my mind

companion, running through the bombs and the canon,
flames in the rain and the dangerous challenge
down for the cause, let’s donate to the famine,
live life of reckless abandon
which means that we never don’t care
it’s real from the foundation to the...
from the moment that made us ‘till death separates us
..but if we ever become sick, we’re so close together
we can mediate to a state that’s better
in the.. even set a record...
take you back to the back where we started...

chorus:
