<Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco>
|
[00:09.37] |
Pen to the pad, metaphors on fleek
|
[00:10.91] |
Took the words that I heard and I put em' to the beat
|
[00:13.09] |
Press up my tape and I put it in the street
|
[00:15.04] |
Upload my thousands without my link
|
[00:17.26] |
I'ma be upcoming just to see what they think
|
[00:19.39] |
I'ma shoot me a video and put it on the 'tube
|
[00:21.64] |
I'ma spam IG to get up my views

|
[01:06.34] |
So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here
|
[01:08.76] |
<Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco>
|
[01:09.03] |
Tryna get the tour bus with the studio
|
[01:10.93] |
It ain't no bus, just bootyholes
|
[01:13.56] |
Can't be out here looking like dookie when you're trying to start a movement that could mop on a movie role
|
[01:18.13] |
Everything's polished, I ain't go to college
|
[01:20.19] |
I was at the conference chopping with the djs
|
[01:22.60] |
Trying to give my single on replay
|
[01:24.33] |
And **** up on the game like colonics
|
[01:26.41] |
Hold the phone, take a flick with a fan for me (click)
|
[01:28.63] |
Hit the strips with a brick of the dance money (strip)
|
[01:30.71] |
I'm tired, let's switch with the van for me
|
[01:32.59] |
When I make it by, you'll print the advance money

Came a long way from when I was holding the mic wrong
|
[02:13.07] |
Something for the hood and a whole lot of white songs
|
[02:15.22] |

|
[02:17.42] |
I'm just tryna make it happen
|
[02:18.44] |
Don't attack that please
|
[02:19.51] |

|
[02:23.79] |
