LA-SER

[Lupe Fiasco Chorus X2]

Alright, already the show goes on

alright, till the morning we dream so long

anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up

just remember when you come up

the show goes on!

[Lupe Fiasco Verse 1]

Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had

Don’t that sh-t make you mad

They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul,

and put whips up on your back,

they be lying through they teeth

hope you slip up off your path

I don’t switch up I just laugh

put my kicks up on they desk

unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass

see that’s how that Chi-Town made me

That’s how my daddy raised me

that glittering may not be gold, don’t let no body play me

if you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me

Go on and put your hands up, when times are hard you stand up

L-U-P the man, cause a brand that the fans trust

so even if they ban us they’ll never slow my plans up!

[Lupe Fiasco Chorus X2]

[Lupe Fiasco Verse 2]

One in the air for the people that ain’t here

Two in the air for the father that’s there

Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto

Four for the kids who don’t wanna be there

None for the n-ggas trying to hold them back

Five in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids thats living in the ghetto that the n-ggas holdin back that the World is theirs!

Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy

Terrified of the World

Now I’m on a World tour

I will give up everything, even start a world war

for these ghettos girls and boys im rapping round’ the World for!

Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland

Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy

tell em’ look at me, boy!

i hope your son don’t have a gun and that would be a D-boy

[Lupe Fiasco Chorus X2]

[Lupe Fiasco Verse 3]

So no matter what you been through

no matter what you into

no matter what you see when you look outside your window

brown grass or green grass

picket fence or barbed wire

Never ever put them down

you just lift your arms higher

raise em till’ your arms tired

Let em’ know you’re their

That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere

Yeah, ain’t no body leavin, no body goin’ home

even if they turn the lights out the show is goin’ on!

[Lupe Fiasco Chorus X2]
