[Lupe Fiasco, Matthew Santos - Shining Down lyrics]
Look up in the sky look up in the sky
Look up in the sky (sky sky)
You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn’t around
That I left you alone
But look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Just look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
See that I’m everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you
Well, well, is that our little author?
Coming back, humming his hymns
A little altered your attention
Put back on the flow like
The department of water
Taking off with the dough, like Little Walter
Chess, yes, baby, I’m Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause, outlaw with the lawyer
Judge, jury, like a loop
Rap name Lupe, but my daddy named me warrior
This is his memorial, shoot
You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn’t around
That I left you alone
But look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Just look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
See that I’m everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you
No, I ain’t that nigga trying
To get a liquor line
When I be scripting lines
Want this petition signed
It says I’m sick of dyin'
Sick of this prison time
I really love my people
I’m sick of pimping mine
Now if we Auto Tune that shit
We can hear the songs from
That opera groomed fat bitch
Telling us not to pursue it
Just to shoe it like a blacksmith
We’re trapped, and moving round in circles
Like it’s Chapstick
And that’s the same encircled way of
Thinking that we chat with
We’ll wrap this around your head
Like the bandanas Fabolous used to
Wrap his hats with rather be in FEDS instead
Of National Geographics
Well, I’m not having it, nawwww
You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn’t around
That I left you alone
But look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Just look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
See that I’m everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you
So, I say hello and this
Is for the third time
To everybody out there who
Ain’t never heard mine and if you have
Then you know you ain’t never heard lying
Lu don’t moo, no, cow-ards
You only heard lines not a facade cherisher
I’d rather have the scars
I don’t idolize America
I’m dancing with the stars
Uh, huh, all of them? yeah, they are, too
You look up and you see
Us shining down on you
You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn’t around
That I left you alone
But look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Just look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
See that I’m everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you shining down on you
Shining down on you shining down on you
Look up in the sky (sky sky)
You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn’t around
That I left you alone
But look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Just look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
See that I’m everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you
Well, well, is that our little author?
Coming back, humming his hymns
A little altered your attention
Put back on the flow like
