[JohnnyBlaze10001]

LA-ZERS

[youngbreezy60]

Let me give u a definition of lupe. Lupe: Murderer of tracks and killer of lyrics.

[withoutacare129]

"I am just a wolf inside a lion's suit, a shark shirt, panther pants, piranha hat and tiger shoes. I got a Lion's den inside the booth."

OR

"I am just a wolf inside a linen suit, a sharp shirt, a pair of pants, put on a hat and tie the shoes. I got a lie it then inside the booth."

And those were just the point blank references and word play...his deeper/far off ("from where the snipers shoots") metaphors are going over your head.

[goombagoon84]

@withoutacare129 how did you figure that out??

[SublimeFlow]

Young Frankenstein reporting live from the lab

[Chirpingmoon]

Ive also heard both version's but i prefer wale's better.....it just seems as if he was feeling his alot more

[FoodandLiquorr]

the wale version and the lupe version are both good but my vote goes for lupe. If you listen to the beat closely to both songs Lupe's is much more quiet and focused on his bars but if you hear wale's the beat is much louder and he himself is louder, almost to draw your attention away from the mainstream rhymes but its all good and before you say "oooo its your volume you moron smd" because i blasted both and heard it from every possible website same thing for every other version.

[wrkmn00]

bildeberg group..in the lead...with the flash..........wow

the flash: fastest superhero...hes in the lead with him..

[jokie1990]

"They are such a drag, you should move em to the trash"...He referenced the recycle bin on a computer!!!

[xkyledubx]

Listened to this song on my iPod more than 200 times I believe and I'm just now understanding "punk ass nigger don't be so daft" lol

[xkyledubx]

"baby why you hangin with them busters like Babs" is that a looney toons reference? Nice

[dreamsmoneybought]

@xkyledubx tiny toon adventures but agreed... nice

[blockmanice]

I should have a clash ……...lol "Clash of the Titans"

[Ashmarto94Shizzle]

A Lyrical King Like Lu That Only Speak's The Truth And If He's Just A Wolf Inside A Lion Suit Then I'm The Next Panther Dressed As A Saber Tooth I'm A Beast In The Booth You're Obese With A Sweet Tooth That's Loose Like Your Laces, That Causes The Faces To Boo You Cause Your Pace Is Nothing like The Aces Been Ages Since The Native Founders Of Hip-Hop Found Traces In This Rap Game Of a Prodigy That's Rated To Be The Blessed One To Take It And Bring It Back To The Ages

[patslayer505]

@Ashmarto94Shizzle Im just an insidious bullet waiting to pierce through the fastidious people yo work for.Im trying to brake the barrier of your inferior people so i can rightfully clame what was mines.i spit venom in my words like a cobra so you could say that i envenomation or that i leave people soba wich means i make you as thin as the rhymes that have no meaning. my flows so real i leave people feinin. lol that suck'd so badly XD.btw i luve lupe to. i hope to become a lyrical rapper ^^

[icecoldchillx]

@TheFatboymike Check out rap genius.com

[bently103]

wow first the getting dressed play on words, then where he is is from where the snippers shoot, might take a long time to get it from where he hit it. wow so he is saying his shit is deep and it might take you a while to understand.

[tjmack010]

I ain't the bomb, I'm the company that got the contract

To rebuild during the aftermath have a blast-Lupe Fiasco, do yall niggas know how deep that line is?."

[TheAmazingBrodriguez]

@tjmack010 Elaborate?

[tjmack010]

@TheAmazingBrodriguez, Most rappers claim they are “the bomb,” and Lupe is sayin that he's the contract to rebuild everything that the "bomb" (rappers) messed up in the game after their gone, he's saying that once these rappers go away, he's still gonna be here to rebuild Hip-hop.

[TheAmazingBrodriguez]

@tjmack010 Just made this song 10x better. Thank you! Haha

[InHancedTLOMusic]

Soulja Boy Disliked This. -.-

[TechniColorDreamFail]

A Shark shirt, a Panthers pants, Parahna hat and Tiger shoes

A (Sharp) shirt, (Pair of) Pants, (Put on your) hat and (Tie your) shoes

[bclark43]

[btfranco2]

"in the lead with the flash"

[zapdos2]

Usian Bolt aint even leadin' this fast/

Why you take offense with your defensive ass

Never Hussien in the hole/whole, not even in the half

'Cuz nigga I aint hidin', I'm the whole world, nigga your an island

And the seas risin', if I keep shinin'

You gon' have to take submarines to the drive-in

[ronniemack1224]

punk ass niggas dont be so daft classic reference

[Damian2354]

Lupe is always spitting real

[BIGMrighthere]

it's not called "something words" lol I think he's talking about a pimp.

[nfllovesme]

@BIGMrighthere It's not Literally Something Words, He Meant To Say A Play On Words, And No He Isn't If You Don't Listen It Sounds Like What @Chese22 said.

[masai101]

"I ain't the bomb, I'm the company that got the contract

To rebuild during the aftermath have a blast"

Who thinks of stuff like that??? Friggin amazing!

[nfllovesme]

@masai101 Sorry Can You Explain It To Me?

[fredmagic09]

this right here is exactly why i want to slap people who say Lil wayne, gucci, drake and any other no talent rapper is "the best rapper alive."

[VanessaAKnox]

@fredmagic09 Glad I'm not the only person who want to smack folks when they say that!!!

[AssCandid]

@fredmagic09 drake is a fucking great rapper though mate, stop hating you aint real cos you listen to lupe, everyone knows lupe goes hard shit

[justpetit69]

no lupe, THANK YOU!

[purplesilverplatinum]

Drake should've have even recorded on this track.....Lupe just overpowered him like CRWAZYYYYY!!!

[Quent1124]

I wish he would have kept going lol. this is dope.

[animemangafan27]

what the- can some one explain to me how he got so smart lol some are just simple lines but DANG

[arj893]

@animemangafan27 By reading

[cisseusa123]

When he says wolf inside a lion suit it's a reference to "Aesop's Fables" story about the sheep being inside a lion's hide. But instead he's putting himself in it. And if you're a linguist you know Lupe means "wolf".

[nfllovesme]

@cisseusa123 Its also word play but you are right.

[cisseusa123]

@nfllovesme Yeah...I wrote a comment not too long ago explaining that part.

[blitzac2005]

I think Lupe is just smarter than me...haha. His IQ is just higher.

[lwjohnson94]

@blitzac2005 Whats his IQ!?

[blitzac2005]

@lwjohnson94 - probably above average, he's not dumb. lol.

[niggastrippin91]

"and the seas rising, if i keep shining, youd go'n have to take submarines to the drive in"

NOTHING MORE TO SAY

[dlickXmyXfick]

is that a reference to the movie phone booth? "lions den inside the booth" "this here is from where the sniper shoot"

[KobeMr]

"Might take a long time to get it, by the time i hit it, i done ran bubble tape around them chicklets(the small 2 peice bubble gums)" Lupe is prbly the single best person at their profession ive ever seen. Better than tiger at golf, better than kobe at ball, better than crosby at hockey, Ndal at tennis, ALi at boxing, Babe Ruth at baseball...etc LUPE IS THE G.O.A.T

[NeverMakeVideos]

Imagine 150 people jumping 1 person.

[deweyDB]

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT HES SOOO FUCKING GOOOD

[jeremiahFkennedy]

O M G

too tough

[iluvutube420]

I'm not the bomb, I'm the company that has the contract to rebuild during the aftermath, have a blast. Too Dope

[SinCityMadman]

wow....Lupe says more in 1:56 seconds on a mixtape then most rappers say on every album combined in their career...In this one He's making complex lyrics about his complex lyrics...compared to others staright forward no-brained raps......WOW

[mattc678]

@SinCityMadman Have you ever listened to Hiphop?

[SinCityMadman]

@mattc678 ...yes, and the stuff on the radio...Wayne, Drake, Luda, etc....is NOT IT

[DaGeniusOne]

[virginiaslim76]

[yannth123]

@MrNoobly sniper shots are longer range takes longer to get but when gets thats over

[opodee1]

[aceshark151]

[rjm6]

@aceshark151 have you listened to failure?? if not listen because its easily the most complex song in terms of lyricism ever....but this astounded me the first time i heard it.

[AvvRham]

[EmTimon23]

"Baby, Why you hangin' with those busters like babs?" Tiny toon reference... Buster and Babs Bunny... Simply amazing...

[keonte44]

[NuMeskeetVideos]

[NuMeskeetVideos]

[derbyrandom1]

@NuMeskeetVideos Hahah no way!!! 22mins? Seriously? Lupe does in 22mins what most people cant even do in a whole career

[Ginga]

Every track, this guy floors you with an out-of-this-universe punchline. It's a shame the masses don't appreciate him more.

[cisseusa123]

Daft Punk reference haha

[jaymuziq101]

My ears are not worthy.

[nickyjam33]

Cause nigga I ain't hiding, I'm the whole world, nigga you're an island

[originaldrmafia]

that one person doesnt have any manners therefor he didnt like thank you.........

xD

[royalnash]

lupe is ill but he be going off topic too much and doesnt make sense sometimes sort of how wayne does

[JColeM7785]

@royalnash you're not catching up.....he might be going over your head....because this makes perfect sense and logically follows.

[tjmack010]

@royalnash, Dude this is a "freestyle", meaning that he's showing off his skills, it doesnt need a topic, I mean seriously, what could this song could have been about?, good manners?

[cisseusa123]

@royalnash listen closely and you'll notice he is on topic The ENTIRE time.

[jethuy2]

@royalnash

more sense then you think it's not. lol

Just listen.

[royalnash]

jay z blueprint 3 had some ill beats on it. its in my top 5 rap albums of 2009

[JW2K3]

@royalnash

this mixtape is better thaqn blueprint 3.... lyrically

[ramafia09]

@JW2K3 this song is better then jayz. lupe cant be touched.

[SSClayCo]

If YOu Came Here To Box, You'll Leave In A Bag

[waytoogangsta]

"I'm the whole world, Nigga you're an island / And the sea's risin', if I keep on shinin' / You gon' have to take submarines to the drive-in"

You wouldn't wanna hear lyrics like these in a diss-track aimed against you. Might ruin your life.

[dariusdavie91]

Lupe is a great artist, HANDS DOWN but sometimes I don't know what the hell he talks about sometimes

[JColeM7785]
