Lupe Fiasco - I m Beaming lyrics

rate me

Today, nobody cares

But tomorrow they will, they will

Today, nobody cares

But, oh, tomorrow they will, they will

They said my future was dark, you see me now?

Just look around, I'm beamin'

(We are lasers)

They used to talk when I wasn't around

You see me now? I'm beamin'

(We're not losers)

I get my energy from my inner G

I be in outer space, but I got inner peace

So tell my enemies that they can't injure me

I know that irritates, you have my sympathies

Well, you should protest, yeah, you should picket me

I'm on a losing strike, I'm on a winning streak

I'm out in left field, I'm speaking mentally

But that's a better places than where the benches be

I'm feelin' really good, me and different beat

Me and my different drummer, he play the timpanis

See, that's what got me here, you hearin' me

Me on my black man in the future shit, call me Billy Dee

See, I'm just forward looking, that's how I really see

See, while you Valentines, I'm thinking Christmas trees

And that's how this would be, even at Mickey D's

Semicolon, closed parentheses

They said my future was dark, see me now?

Just look around, I'm beamin'

They used to talk when I wasn't around

You see me now? I'm beamin'

Do you remember me, the guy from verse one?

Failure's my last name, never's my first one

You see I hood a lot, and yeah I nerd some

Hood's where the heart is, nerd's where the word's from

Don't represent either, because I merged them

It's kids who wanna leave, and I encourage them

Go out and see the world, never return from it

Yeah, you don't come back, unless you learn somethin'

And baby girl, what does it matter where your purse from?

Your hair done, your nails did, your ass fat, but you're dumb

Mix Melyssa Ford with Maya Angelou

Become a top model and Sojourner too

I try to follow this, what Muhammad do

It's such an old soul inside the sonic youth

Swear I'm Ferrari'd up, and I'm conscious, too

I don't prophesize: I promise you

They said my future was dark, see me now?

Just look around, I'm beamin'

They used to talk when I wasn't around

(Lasers)

You see me now? I'm beamin'

Yeah, it's me again, the guy from verse two

Well, this the last one, it's almost curfew

It's almost night out, so turn your lights on

Where all my 760s, with ya brights on?

Yeah, they are the ones to keep your eyes on

Like how we used to do, to keep the house warm

Now those the type of eyes, I not cry from

You see the tears of fire run out my cryin' songs

Now the world's shoulders is what I'm cryin' on

The world's fast lane is what I'm drivin' on

What am I driving at? I'm tryna drive it home

I'm in the driver's seat, but you can ride along

It's never cyclops, it's never I alone

I'm tellin' your story wherever I perform

Now if they lookin' for me, you tell 'em I've gone

Out in the bright lights, right where I belong

They said my future was dark, see me now?

Just look around, I'm beamin'

They used to talk when I wasn't around

You see me now? I'm beamin'
