Lupe Fiasco - KIOSK lyrics

Hey, you looking over there
I got something to show you if
You got the time to spare
The quality's the highest and the
Price is very fair
It's honestly the nicest thing that
I have ever shared
You look like the type that likes
A diamond in his ear
To walk around the town and
Be so shiny and revered
Come across his boss and be
So timely and prepared
Look like a million dollars off
Of signing with the Bears
I don't mean to be so
Deeply inside of your affairs
But, if I likеd getting ripped off
Then I'd bе over there
But that's why I'm over here
With that you should beware
I'm only saying this because I really
Really care

I think it's more a temple, not a stall
But, no, not a religion, not at all
I know it's kind of simple and it's small
But that's 'cause it's the middle of the mall
If you wanna show off and just ball
Or your intention is the drawers
We got credentials for it all
Welcome to the middle of the mall

You ain't got a budget for these nuggets
You can keep it Plain Jane or blow
Out they brains when you in public
The matching ring
Chain gon' look insane when you untuck it
They'll never know the difference
Even if you let 'em touch it
Now if you are a rapper or
A trapper on the job
It don't really matter if you get
Jacked or you get robbed
You can go on, let 'em have it
It's not a factor or a prob'
Only thing that's gonna happen
You gon' get attacked by all the blogs
But to regular people you gon' be sharp
And you gon' be so attractive on the block
Now, it might make you a magnet for the cops
But please, don't let them haters try and
Drag you from the top

You ain't gotta be a criminal involved
Know how to rap or knack
For dribbling the ball
Or be a prince or an emperor at all
Everybody's equal in the middle of the mall
We are not the center of applause
But secretly the center of the cause
This is where the finishers evolve

Diamonds only worth what you
Are willing to pay
A deceptive game you are killing to play
Now I have diamonds
It's odd feeling this way
But when they start to
Sparkle that star-glittering glaze
It sways, takes your mind off todays
Where preachers can praise AIDS as
God killing the gays
What a fucking phrase, never ceases to amaze
But when he dies from cancer
That's God's mysterious ways
Jesus saves African sold slaves
Gabriel's in Afghanistan passing out AKs
It's a rage
The diamond sometimes are suedes while
Putting 'em to the blade i have hesitations
There, I've put it all on the table
I have my reservations
Besides, we'll find something else useless
To put our faith in
You won't finish this here, we'll
Pick up after meditation, uh huh
Uh, huh uh, huh

It seems you've got the
Spirit of the appalled
And you've got the lyrics and the drawl
I know some people would love to
Hear it how you call
You should join us in the middle of the mall
I'm cool, man, I've got a watch already
Well, excuse me
