[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
|
I said think about your future
|
You can't do that tomorrow
|
But you don't hear a word, you see that SLR
|
|
[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 1]
|
O' ye tormented souls
|
My goal is to sit on the globe like North Poles
|
And that's the top mane; goin' hammer like a glock can
|
All flowing grammar; no shots strayin'
|
I'm so sober when I speak
|
I call it catchin' bullets with my teeth
|
You can feel it in your chest
|
Like Bruce Lee jumpin' on your vest
|
But I can't feel yours through my Superman "S"
|
Yes, I'm Superman'd-out
|
Red Cartier look like Superman's house
|
Inshallah to my plan hope it super pans out
|
My life is like Italians doin' 100 miles
|
And the top open like the roofer ran outta tiles
|
Walk right into Felipe's when I ran outta Chow's
|
Next up is crustaceans and fast food halals
|
The beef is all the same, it's just how they kill the cows
|
Somebody tell Malcom X that I'm tryna steal his style
|
And tell Cornell West that I'm tryna steal his fro
|
Go back in time, take the slaves plows, shovels, and they hoes
|
The masters get the "It Was Written" intro
|
SLR 10-4
|
SLR 10-4
|
Soundtrakk let the beat go
|
Soundtrakk let the beat roll
|
|
[Hook]
|
In this World I'm so alone
|
In a category all on my own
|
Cause I tell the World what I want to
|
Yeah I tell the World what I want to
|
|
Man I feel so alone
|
They treat me like an Outcast
|
Cause I tell the world what I want to
|
But you can't tell me what you gon' do
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
'Cause nigga I don't believe that
|
Like 9/11 came from Iraq
|
Mayweather on the speed bag
|
Automatic weapons keep the same rhythm he has
|
That's how the hood sound
|
Grew up in the hood town
|
West side ghetto, Windy City Cook Count'
|
Black skies lookin' up, crack pipes lookin' down
|
Accused of not lookin' back, blind nigga look around
|
City on my back, so the CHI go everywhere I'm at
|
Presence so shiny, Mercedes so matte
|
Cop that from Platinum, the color of my plaque
|
I memorize colors off of Yo! MTV Raps
|
A nightmare walkin' in a psychopath's nap
|
Defeat your purpose like a weed stash in the rehab
|
Guess who's sneakin' in the weed bags
|
They be me with my mean ass
|
Not tryna be anything but free as
|
Flow is so nuts, the track is getting' teabagged
|
Just wanna rap nice, that ain't me tagged
|
If you wanna be mean, then you wanna be me bad
|
Call it bein' Pretty Lyrically Swag
|
Soulja call it Super Lupe Lyrical
|
You can't understand me nor mimic my miracles
|
All I see is me and Im a mother lovin' mirror full
|
Bein' dope is all in the muscle
|
It's more than just a pause and a chuckle
|
I bench press elephants, and bowlin' ball juggle
|
So dont be scared to take the Super Lu route
|
Top 5 alive and I only got 2 out!
|
School ya on your history, I tell ya what you 'bout
|
Fight for all the right things and let the Huey New out
|
Pharrell what these niggas talkin' bout?
|
Two man Big Pun, a one man Slaughterhouse
|
A two album Jay-Z, a one nigga Wu-Tang
|
Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin' Lil Wayne
|
I don't care for similarities
|
Cause I'm a pioneer, not a parody
|
These aint bars, this is barbarity
|
SLR... Clarity
|
|
[Hook]
|
In this world I'm so alone
|
In a category all on my own
|
'Cause I tell the world what I want to
|
Yeah I tell the world what I want to
|
|
Man I feel so alone
|
They treat me like an Outcast
|
Cause I tell the world what I want to
|
But you can't tell me what you gon' do
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Holy shock and awe, cattle prods
|
All up in the action with a fraction of the catalog
|
of my peers, I ain't doin' numbers like Amazon
|
but I'm here, and I'm revered
|
Lyric boy, Based King, Master Chef, All City Chess moves makin' Donnie Diggy CRS fool
|
Carrera Era, pan Amera, F-Tool, Emperor, Free Chilly nigga, FNF Rules
|
'Ye, what these niggas talkin' bout?
|
A Jesus in the desert walkin', Dundee walkabout
|
A self imposed exile, learn to let the awesome out
|
Even if I was homeless I would still have an awesome house
|
Cause the World is mine, Lupe to the rescue, the World is fine
|
Words and lines of mine, I feel are better than every rapper in the World combined!
|
And that's how you do |
