Lupe Fiasco - Cold War lyrics

rate me

At my brother's Jannaza

Tears stained sunglassses

A Salat with no bows

Pallbearer carry you to the car now

Chill day, Mosque on 96 and 3rd

New York City way, me and J never left my side

Refs like that pitcher with your pride

Who look just like..

Now the city looks lest bright

Brooklyn looking less special

Should've kept it the same way

As when you were on this level

You: work in progress from 40 projects: God bless

An inspiration and a king

They won't know what I mean but this I'm bout to spring

Protect it with every feather on the wings

So even when it hurts, you'll never feel a thing

[Hook]

Said it's a cold cold world

Ain't nobody wins except the government

In the U.S.S.R

?

Who you think you are?

And you can fight it, but there's no defense

For the ?

Baby grab a jacket

Let me clarify the chorus

And what my cold warress

Cause the complexity is enormous

Using one of my greatest losses with eyes like faucets

To reinforce every single word that I talk with

Something about losing things, human beings

That reduces things to their most elementary

Find yourself where you never meant to be

With the energy of memory

That's the soul force of what's behind killing me

Finding pleasure in the pains

Finding desert in the rain

Twisted: how this world can drive you masochistic

Question if I'm over it

Or if I'm numb because I'm closureless

Or my closure's that we all gotta go and shit

Rendered emotionless but moving at the speed of running over it

Still happy that I opened it

[Hook]

In the studio writing these words, one after another

In memorial of my brother

As you listen to the album with

Nothing on the cover

I imagine that he hovers

In the back of his chair

Floating right there in the air

Knodding his head to the music, I slightly lose it

Ask why do I put myself through this

Crack a smile, look up at the file

Phones on the screen of me tryna tell you what I mean

But I feel that it's all lost, or maybe that it's all gotta cross

Happy with his dedicated song

But now he's all gone

But he was never there, cause

He was everywhere, nowhere and down here

Maybe on that judgement day, rise up

We'll both open our eyes up, climb up

Hoping God forgives us for our tendencies

Wipes away our cool young histories<br />
