Lupe Fiasco - Coming Up lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

This one goes out to the baby girls

In a rush growing up in this crazy world

Yeah your brother on the road and he never home

I know you feeling kinda sad now that daddy gone

You can't let it get you sad, gotta carry on

We only lose things because it make us strong

You always had my love, and now you got a song

From the biggest biggest fan that you've ever known

I know you want me, little girls, not for very long

And you ain't gotta have a man if you don't ever want

Cause I'm gonna make sure you got two of everything

That you ever want, every time, like your very own

Not to make you hard to respect

Just really really really really hard to impress

It's a whole wide world for you to go and get your hands on

Until then, just come and get your dance on now

[Hook]

I see you coming up

I'mma get you going down

You will never work, you'll be wealthy

Just as long as I'm around

[Verse 2]

This for everybody feeling good

You know who you are, or you misunderstood

Never had money, or you living good

If you from the burbs, if you in the hood

Recognize where we come from

In my day, mane, I did a little somethin some-

They like "how come you don't rap that?"

Cause that's a backtrack and I ain't tryna back back

I'm only moving forward homie that's that

Direction, a lot of shoulders lack that

I'm just tryna give it to 'em like ??

Now I know I'm gonna make out like a fat rat

That's cool as long as they don't trap crack

Graduate from school, and still let his pants sag

Never catch a case, know how to let his cash stack

Welcome to the ??

[Hook]

[Bridge]

When the floor falls out

I'mma be there to carry you

And if you want that star

I'll go get it out the sky for you

If you cry, shed a tear

I'mma dry your eyes

Just to let you know it'll be alright

[Verse 3]

I know it's like a whole lot going on

Things going right, things going wrong

Maybe baby, I've been waiting for you so long

Know that in this world you're never really on your own

Yeah I got a ?? get him on the phone

He'll never put you places where you don't belong

Put you through the pain, to put you on the throne

And I know that from the bottom of my corazon

And if they looking at you sideways

You just wave right back, tell 'em hi hater

Mad you ain't hanging with 'em in the driveway

Nah we gon' keep it moving to the highway

?? like Friday, chilling

Shout out to King David for bringing in philly

And I'mma put the independent women in the building
