[Lupe Fiasco - The Emperor's Soundtrack lyrics]
I told you I would show up
Screaming out "FNF!" 'til the world blow up
They said I was so finished
I told 'em it's show business
Meanin' there's no business 'less
Fiasco's in it
Disrespect the dress code wear my
Street clothes in it
Measured, sold, and clothed in it
Opened up, closed after I entered
And drove in it, like uhh
Only fear God know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the heart
And never fall asleep
Roll in it, music bumpin, windows tinted
Through the good neighbourhoods and all
Of the woes in it exerted control in it
Seen it come and go, stolen and sold in it
Diamond and gold plated
Fountain of youth, dippin my toes in it
Bounce in the booth, spit it like Skoal in it
Putting my heart and my soul in it cause
Only fear God know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the heart
And never fall asleep
Once upon a time, not long ago
When the pusher man creep
Where they live life po'
With fifteen in the clip and one in the hole
Hallway wall full of RIP's
Some some of us know
None of us know the makers of the toast
Like the bottom of the stove that was
Used in the murderin' of the scroll
Heart colder than Edy's
Won't let the seedy city defeat me
Rub me out like genies
Won't concede til I'm graffiti nigga what
Only fear God know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the heart
And never fall asleep
I done bellowed
Said "What up?" to the reaper
Hell met like Riddell, then high-water, hello
To the five-year-old gunshot hearer
I hear ya
Clearer than the invisible man in the mirror
Cheer up, I put it on the bars like beer nuts
Put a bug in they ear, so from here up
They hear us
Only fear God know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the heart
And never fall asleep
Once upon a time, not long ago
When the pusher man creep
Where they live life po'
I put it on my grandmomma's daughter
I microphone control with the soul of
Slave hummin "Wadin in the Water"
I author like DW brother, like a hustla'
God place me in ya armor
I prescribe no partners
I do it for the hood like a parka
But tell my niggas not to shiver
Only time we quiver like a archer is
Only fear God know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the heart
And never fall asleep
Here we are now, entertain us
Change don't change us
Ever since the game trained us
We came up like worms in the rain
I dream my chain became a loose noose
That was used to hang us
So now, my insane brain, my 32 teeth
And two feet creep like it's Elm Street
Cause
Only fear God know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the heart
And never fall asleep
Once upon a time, not long ago
When the pusher man creep
Where they live life po'
Screaming out "FNF!" 'til the world blow up
They said I was so finished
I told 'em it's show business
Meanin' there's no business 'less
Fiasco's in it
Disrespect the dress code wear my
Street clothes in it
