"Heat Under The Babyseat"

"Heat Under The Babyseat"


Now Little Terry got a gun he got from the store
He bought it with the money he got it from his chores
He robbed the candy shop told her lay down on the floor
Put the cookies in bag take the pennies out the drawer
Little Chalil got a gun he got from the rebels to kill the infidels and American devils
A bomb on his waist a mask on his face prays five times a day and listens to heavy metal
Little Alex got a gun he took from his dad
That he snuck into school in his black book bag
His black nail polish black books and black hat
He gonna' blow away the bully that just pushed his ass
Little Joker got a gun he bought on the street
To go and kill the that beat him up last week
Cause he don't let go of none of his past beefs
Bullets flying out the window shells landing on the seats
Little Sarah got a gun from her Uncle Sam
She got armour piercing rounds and her gun don't jam
She got lasers got rockets
She killing to go to college
She thought it was an insurgent it was some old man
Now You can get guns on the internet
AK's, Glocks, Nines, Inatechs,
So when you see shorty don't disrespect
Watch Better Tomorrow and play Grand Theft Auto
Get Back

"Hello / Goodbye (Uncool)"
(feat. Unkle)

"Hello / Goodbye (Uncool)"
(feat. Unkle)



[Intro]
FNF

[Chorus (x2):]
Hello darkness, hello sunshine, hello not at all, hello all the time
Hello no where, hello oblivion, hello goodbye

Hello Darkness
You [x6]

[Verse 1]
All in together the weather is better than ever
I hope it never ends I hope it lasts forever
But when it does, we can all pretend that it's better than it's ever been
Lie to ourselves like the sky to rebel
And its well and its fine and its fine if it fell
And you couldn't find the story line if you survive to retell
We are targets, Hello darkness

[Chorus]

[Lupe mumbling]
Said everything is going to be fine
Said everything is gonna be OK
Said just don't breathe the air

[Verse 2]
He just sits and waits for them to kick in the door
He once was a hero they don't love him no more
There's a blast, every time a foot hits the floor
His gift for not fighting another man's war
And if they can get their hands on the mask that he wore
On his face, they can put somebody else in his place and restore
The state, the illusion that its safe
the faith, that being a slave is so great
As gas fills the room and rockets destroy everything around him
He stands to find himself surround
By thousands of soldiers that his once trained to never miss their targets
Heartless, Hello Darkness

[Chorus]

[Outro - Unkle]
Hello Darkness

Please to make your acquaintance
Salutations, Konnichiwa
Hello end of the world, how are you, I'm fine

Hey there darkness, hey there sunshine,
hello not at all, hello all the time
Hello no where, hello oblivion,
hello goodbye

[Chorus x3]

Hello darkness, hello sunshine
Detonate, uncool

"Hi-Definition"
(feat. Snoop Dogg, Pooh Bear)



[Chorus (Snoop Dogg):]
There's a world go a-head and stair
(treat these folks don't need permission my life's in hi-definition)
Listen with your eyes follow with your ears
(I don't need no no intermission my life's in hi-definition)

[Lupe Fiasco:]
And my return, is more like a re-up
I hold a hold like a tea-cup
World in one hand, while the other hand throw a peace up
My other hand throwing We without the e up
I got like five more man I'm something like sheefa
In the fall of Rome number four Delux
See I've been around the world like the nomb
But I come from a zone where the homes are beat up
The folks unknown and the stones all meet up
Police tap my phone and ma's own on speaker
Said he's back with poems got their domes all leaked up
To get back on the thrown and become young leaders
Oprah put it on my culture now if that ain't wrong
Imus got it from the rhymers now if that ain't blown
They gave my man forty four now if that ain't long
I put it all on my shoulders now if that ain't strong
I made it out alive from the streets of the westside C-H-I
Now if that ain't home you better tell em

[Chorus (Snoop Dogg)]

[Lupe Fiasco:]
And in my flyness I've become the hero and the sidekick
The rider and the nigga that'll ride with
In your ear like the maker of the vivrant
Asalamalakam to the maker of the vivrant
Them other niggas I don't vibe with
Now I was bout three when the eyes went
But I could see everything that you trying to be
You can't hide it
While you coming out your throte like a heimlich
I came up out the belly like an high scip
Only my circumstance reviced it
Hijacked the road and when they shot the pilot
I'm trying to go public so I can get to private
Then send Busy to go and get the pirates
Then hit Africa and try to fix the Virus
Go back to the hood tell Huggy open the hydrents
R.I.P Stack B. I'm gonna keep you alive kid
Dressed in something so fresh and wonderful
F-N-F and S-N double O-P

[Chorus (Snoop Dogg)]

[Snoop Dogg:]
Lupy it's snoopy lets go out
Tip toe through the door do it doggy style
And tell all my chicks in Chicago
Lupy hit the Lotto, Snoopy hit the bottle
Hold the mic tight they bite and might swallow
Take this chill pill will make you swallow
Recital is very homicidal
The big screen will capture you, cause it's hi-definition
Listen cooking collard greens in the kitchen
Them alphabet boys on a mission
If you ever get cash you better get it quick fast
Cause now-a-days niggas get the snitching on your bitch ass
Get it boys best believe in your toys out your game
Specially when a nigga know your real name
Blam blam with the blammer
Smile nephew your on candit camera, film at eleven
Dressed in something so fresh and wonderful
F-N-F and S-N double O-P

[Chorus (Snoop Dogg)]

"High (Interlude)"
(feat. Simon Sayz)



[Simon Sayz:]
See this shit go 'round and 'round
Hope you get up to speed and you're alright
All I ever wanted was the dove view
And all the people that I love to stay high, high, elevated
All I wanna see my niggas sittin' on top
More than high, high, elevated
All I wanna see my niggas sittin' on top
High, more than high, high...

[Lupe Fiasco:]
It drops without, then without doubt I'm without drought
How else could I spit out 'bout
Spotted backs without alps
Rain delay
What's that I came to say?
Get it wet like Training Day
With no drain away, you with it yet
They ain't related
Lupe got him an H and K and handle that
Heckler, Kramer way
Rain delay
Aight, nigga, put the game away
You mean like rain delay?
She said, "If I pop it then you gotta pay me"
So I make it rain for the ladies
Off that, skin' where my shooters can't walk at
Of course, we ball with hoes
In the club, I golf that
But ball back, games where it rains and they halt that
We gettin' cold, better salt that
In my brain, it is stormin'
When it rains, it is pourin'
Spit out 'bout, swat at bats
Commissioner Gordon, not a sportsman
Your reigns, not important
But I'm Jordan

[Simon Sayz:]
High, more than high, high
High, more than high, high
High, more than high, high
High, more than high, high
See this shit go 'round and 'round
Hope you get up to speed and you're alright
All I ever wanted was the dove view
And all the people that I love to stay high, high, elevated
All I wanna see my niggas sittin' on top
More than high, high, elevated
All I wanna see my niggas sittin' on top
High, more than high, high...

[Lupe Fiasco & Simon Sayz:]
Why I always gotta say it for you?
Why you be as quiet as a DP with an oral
Why on TV it's adorable?
In 3D it be horrible
Somethin' somethin' stored you
It's like sayin', look, Duval too tall
Or the cue ball is too small
I make two fall in the pool hall
And my new car I carpool
You all finna carnival
Through balls, think about to fall
Get a new doll to my boo, aw
High, more than high, high
Sweet
High, more than high, high
Sweet
High, more than high, high
Sweet
High, more than high, high
Sweet
Enough room for you niggas to eat, deep
That's a keeper homie, whole lot of square foot to sweep
I clean, trampoline, flow lift you off of your feet
Tell your king pass the throne or I'll kick you off of your seat
Like a drummer, I'll kick you off from your seat
Like a drum kit, kick you off with my feat

[Simon Sayz:]
High, more than high, high...

"Hip-Hop Saved My Life"
(feat. Nikki Jean)



Dedicate dedicate
[Lupe speaking]
Uh this one right here goes out
To my homie with the dream
Know what I mean

He said I write what I see
Write to make it right
Don't like where I be
I'd like to make it like
The sights on TV
Quite the great life
So nice and easy
See now you can still die from that
But it's better than not being alive from straps
Agreed
A mead notebook and a Bic that click
When it's pushed and a wack beat
That's a track that's weak
That he got last week
'cause everybody in the store
Was like that's that heat
A bass heavy medley with a sample from the 70s
With a screwed up hook that went
STACK THAT CHEESE
Something something something
STACK THAT CHEESE
Mother sister cousin
STACK THAT CHEESE
He couldn't think of nothing
STACK THAT CHEESE
He turns down the beat writers block impedes
Crying from the next room a baby in need
Of some pampers and some food and a place to sleep
That plus a black Cadillac on D's
Is what keep him on track to be a great MC

[Chorus (Nikki Jean) 2x:]

Reps Northside so he rocks them braids
Eleven hundred friends on his myspace page
Stack that cheese got seven hundred plays
Producer made him take it down
Said he had to pay
Open mic champ 2 weeks in a row
Ex boy with a boy flow
Glow like Leroy you should see boy go
Got a daddy serving life and a brother on The Row
Best homie in the grave
Tattered up while in the cage
Minutemaid got his momma work like a slave
Down baby momma who he really had to honor
'cause she was his biggest fan
Even let him use the Honda
Drive up to Dallas went to open up for amateurs
Let him keep her debit card
So he could put gas in it
Told her when he get on
He's gonna take her to the gallery
Buy her everything but the mannequins your dig

[Chorus (Nikki Jean) 2x]

His man called said "your time might be now"
They played your freestlye over "Wipe me down"
They played it two times
Said it might be crowned
As the best thing out the H-TOWN in a while
He picked up his son with a great big smile
Rapped every single word to the newborn child
Then he put 'em down and went back to the kitchen
Put on another beat and got back to the mission
To get his momma out the hood
Put her somewhere in the woods
Keep his lady looking good
Have her rolling like she should
Show his homies there's a way
Other than that flipping Yay
Bail his homie outta jail
Put a lawyer on his case
Throw a concert for the school
Show this that's it cool
Throw some candy on the cadi
Chuck the duece and act a fool
Man it feels good when it happens like that
Two days from going back to selling crack, yes sir

[Chorus (Nikki Jean) 2x]

Hip hope has saved my life [4X]

"How Dare You"
(feat. Bilal)

"How Dare You"
(feat. Bilal)



[Hook: Bilal]
You shine like the lights of Las Vegas
You feel radiant and outrageous
Your confidence and appeal, so sexual
How dare you? How dare you? How dare you?
How dare you come do me like that

[Verse 1]
I got my eyes on like the fire zone
Let's be bygones
Won't you come and be a line in one of my songs?
Maybe a whole verse, baby the whole Earth my home
So let me show you around the crib
Tell you what I do, I show you what I did
Flow is on the stove, I'm cooking for the kids
Wrist is in the freezer, heart is in the fridge
But we can warm it up, plug the Foreman up
Open the oven door, turn the saunas up
Stretch the Benz out, if it ain't long enough
Get lost in the feeling, they're no longer us
Hop up out the coupe, hop up on the bus
Give you 'get to the backs', code name for Rosa's sons
We're in a better place, give us condolences
It's like a player's wake, and like a coma love

[Hook: Bilal]
You shine like the lights of Las Vegas
You feel, you feel radiant and outrageous
Your confidence and appeal, so sexual
How dare you? How dare you? How dare you?
How dare you come do me like that

[Verse 2]
And I hope it's all up to your standards
Cause babies really need to be pampered
I'm behind these tents like a camper
Cause you're out there shining like chandler
Like a chandelier standing there in your radiance
I think we all need some shadiness
Or some vision care, oh no, you didn't dare
While I was sitting here like Huey in his wicker chair
You know that isn't fair, how you just entered here
Getting their hopes up, that they can interfere
You're so insincere, you know I got you
Have you looked in the mirror? You know that's not cool

[Hook: Bilal]
You shine like the lights of Las Vegas
You feel, you feel radiant and outrageous
Your confidence and appeal, so sexual
How dare you? How dare you? How dare you?
How dare you come do me like that

[Verse 3]
Let's have a cease fire, be some peace triers
Let's negotiate, because my cheeks tired
From smiling all day
Emotions need a Motrin, a Tylenol break
I know you see my strategy, if flattery's a battery
Then I'm a rabbit with a pack of 'D's in the back of me
Pause/paws on all levels, everybody settle
I know it sounded weird, I'm just trying to impress you
I step forward with my best two
If all that fails, open swag to the rescue
I said swag, and I'm sorry
Don't mean to offend your sensibilities I meant dress smartly
Just trying to get you out this party
Can you dig that? Ologist-Archae
Please be the Ferrari to my car key
And I'ma hold my baby down like a car seat

[Bridge: Bilal]
You know what you're doing to me
You got that fire fire, baby
I just can't get enough
No, I can't get enough

[Hook: Bilal]
You shine like the lights of Las Vegas
You feel radiant and outrageous
Your confidence and appeal, you're so sexual
How dare you? How dare you? How dare you?
How dare you come do me like that

"Hurt Me Soul"

"Hurt Me Soul"


Now I ain't tryna be the greatest
I used to hate hip-hop... yup, because the women degraded
But Too $hort made me laugh, like a hypocrite I played it
A hypocrite I stated, though I only recited half
Omittin the word "bitch," cursin I wouldn't say it
Me and dog couldn't relate, til a bitch I dated
Forgive my favorite word for hers and hers alike
But I learnt it from a song I heard and sorta liked
Yeah, for the icin, glamorized drug dealin was appealin
But the block club kept it from in front of our buildin
Gangsta rap-based filmings became the buildin blocks
For children with leakin ceilings catchin drippins with pots
Coupled with compositions from Pac, Nas's "It Was Written"
In the mix with my realities and feelings
Living conditions, religion, ignorant wisdom and artistic vision
I began to jot, tap the world and listen, it drop

My mom can't feed me, my boyfriend beats me
I have sex for money, the hood don't love me
The cops wanna kill me, this nonsense built me
And I got noooo place to gooo
They bomb my village, they call us killers
Took me off they welfare, can't afford they health care
My teacher won't teach me, my master beats me
And it huuurts meee soooul

I had a ghetto boy bop, a Jay-Z boycott
'Cause he said that he never prayed to God, he prayed to Gotti
I'm thinkin godly, God guard me from the ungodly
But by my 30th watchin of "Streets is Watchin"
I was back to givin props again and that was botherin
By this uncomfortable as a untouchable touchin you
The theme songs that niggas hustle to seem wrong but these songs was comin true
And it was all becoming cool
I found a condom on the ground that Johns would cum into and thought
What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit then they drop it
The homie in a suit pat her on the butt, then rock it
It seems I was seein the same scene adopted
Prevalent in different things with the witnesses indifferent to stop it
They said don't knock it, mind ya business
His business isn't mine and that nigga pimpin got it

They took my daughter, we ain't got no water
I can't get hired, they cross on fire
We all got suspended, I just got sentenced
So I got noooo place to gooo
They threw down my gang sign, I ain't got no hang time
They talk about my sneakers, poisoned our leader
My father ain't seen me, turn off my TV
'Cause it huuurts meee soooul

So through the Grim Reaper sickle sharpening
Macintosh marketing
Oil field augering
Brazilian adolescent disarmament
Israeli occupation
Islamic martyrdom, precise
Yeah, laser guided targeting
Oil for food, water, and terrorist organization harborin
Sand camouflage army men
CCF sponsorin, world conquerin, telephone monitorin
Louis Vuitton modelin, pornographic actress honorin
String theory ponderin, bullimic vomitin
Catholic priest fondlin, pre-emptive bombin and Osama and no bombin them
They breakin in my car again, deforestation and overloggin and
Hennessy and Hypnotic swallowin, hydroponic coughin and
All the world's ills, sittin on chrome 24-inch wheels, like that

They say I'm infected, this is why I injected
I had it aborted, we got deported
My laptop got spyware, they say that I can't lie here
But I got noooo place to gooo
I can't stop eatin, my best friend's leavin
My pastor touched me, I love this country
I lost my earpiece, I hope y'all hear me
'Cause it huuurts meee soooul

"I Don't Feel So Good"

"I Don't Feel So Good"


Picture I'm a dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do?

Is there something in the air? Do you feel it?
Is it close? Is it far? Is it here? Do you feel it?
Are you happy? You sad? You scared? Do you feel it?
Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it fair? Do you feel it?
Is it real? Is it fake? Do you care? Do you feel it?
When he stopped and he paid for head, did he feel it?
With his wife when he laid in the bed, did she feel it?
When the police kicked in the door, did he feel it?
When he had to go to war, did he feel it?
When they hung and they swung from a tree, did they feel it?
Well I know when they come for me, will I feel it
When he blew all his money to ball, did he feel it?
When that bullet came through a wall, did she feel it?
When he stopped and he dropped when he died, did he feel it?
When his momma closed his eyes, did he feel it?
When she couldn't take the pain, did she feel it?
When the dope flows through her veins, does she feel it?
When she took off all her clothes, did she feel it?
When she slid down that pole, did she feel it?
Will it all be clear to see, will I feel it?
If God forgives me, will I feel it?

I ask my baby if she love me, she said she don't know
She said the game's got her heart, the streets have got her soul
I ask my baby if she love me, she said she don't know
She said the game's got her heart, the streets have got her soul
I said, "Wow"

When his food come out the trash, does she feel it?
When he sleeps under the underpass, does he feel it?
When she's pregnant and smoking weed, does she feel it?
When the jury just won't believe, do they feel it?
When this song come on in the club, do you feel it?
When a racist shows you love, do you feel it?
When he know he won't win the game, do he feel it?
When a preacher is driven insane, do he feel it?
Every time I write a rhyme, do I feel it?
When I'm running out of time, will I feel it?
When the liquor is poured on the ground, do they feel it?
If my music didn't make a sound, would you feel it?

I ask my baby if she love me, she said she don't know
She said the game's got her heart, the streets have got her soul
I ask my baby if she love me, she said she don't know
She said the game's got her heart, the streets have got her soul
I said, "Wow"

I ask my baby if she love me, she said she don't know
She said the game's got her heart, the streets have got her soul

"I Don't Wanna Care Right Now"
(feat. MDMA)

"I Don't Wanna Care Right Now"
(feat. MDMA)



[Verse 1:]
I'm not a turtle, Imma turbo
Haters pray to god that I turn slow
Like I’m sipping on purple
But I ain’t on your globe
I’m in a whole ‘nother circle
Trying to keep it clean like church clothes
Said that respect was something had to work for
But that ain’t gonna work though
Get your respect, but lose all my worth, no
You can get that, get a hearse, go
Don’t leave 48 you’ll find a killer in the first floor
It was me boy, to commercials
Feeling out of place like PETA at a fur store
So I left with a couple dozen fur coats
Said I could never break away from your hold
Watch me, turn though
Said that I blew it like Turquoise
Just mad hear it all in your word choice
Know it hurts but I really don’t care though
Let me rub it in, get it all up in that ho

[Hook:]
I can see the morning creeping up on us
It’s like the world’s in my hands now
I’m feeling so rebellious from all of the envy crowding around me
I don’t wanna care right now
I don’t wanna care right now
No I really don’t, really don’t, wanna care right now

[Verse 2:]
Oh-oh Go-Go-God over everything-thing
You fly but stars over everything-thing
And I’m one of them, yeah one of th-the-them
Oh I’m not o-o-one? Well I’m a hundred th-the-then
I’m a hundred mother loving stars
You’re no lights, you’re an undercover car
I’m an ambulance, and a fire truck, and some strobe lights, tied up!
Shining all in your eyes, all out of yours and all into mine
Lights and stars is all intertwined
And I’m feeling like Malcolm looking all out the blinds
Any means any means, and you can do anything anything
And the flow tight, skinny jeans skinny jeans
Hit you like Pacquiao, Philippines Philippines

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]
Ya’ll know I'm the little homie Lupe, yes sir, who they
They yester, and I’m today, and tomorrow, hooray
Can I get a hip-hip for the new K-I-N-G, nigga I-AM-HE
Got the game in the clutch like I am G
You ball little boy, But I N-B-A
With a hand for the world, you a boy band with a dance and a twirl
I’m a rockstar with a band so thorough
Big ass tour bus that’s jammed full of girls
T-t-tell em what it do, holla from the bottom, yell it from the roof
T-t-tell em what it do, I don’t care about your curfew
I’ll tell you when I’m through boy

[Hook]

Tell em what it do, yell it from the bottom, yell it from the roof boy
Tell em what it do, holla from the bottom, yell it from the roof boy
Tell em what it do, holla from the bottom, yell it from the roof boy
Tell em what it do, holla from the bottom, yell it from the roof boy
I don’t wanna, I-I don’t wanna, I-I-I don’t wanna
C-c-c-care right now
I don’t wanna, I-I don’t wanna, I-I-I don’t wanna
C-c-c-care right, c-c-c-care right now
