Lupe Fiasco (Twilight Zone) (Lyrics)

[604kushfields]

METAPHORS AND PERSONIFICATION ALLLL DAAAAYY

[raprazant]

lol Lupe went almonds on this! Yes, it does make sense but it requires some thinking. Lupe and J Cole is the only reason why I still listen to rap. Yes, I've tried all those mainstream artists, they're good stuff to bump to, but it's all dumb it down music. BMF - building minds faster!

[BIGMrighthere]

theres no friends... the enemy of my enemy is my enemy.

[TheRagefc]

wiz is on his level but there is only a few on lupe's level

real music FnF

[QTheGazelle]

I feel so dumb cause I'm so lost.

[fickifickii]

speechless !! 

[m16imsofly]

sumone needs to make a video to this so niggas cud see how lupe thinks!

[JColeM7785]

Hands down the most creative song in the last 10 years.

[iroknike21]

1)Lupe 2) Eminem 3) J cole 4)Jay Z 5) Erreon Lee

[ljsljflkda]

people say this song doesnt make sense, but if you pay attention you would understand. in the twilight zone nothing suppose to make sense. its strange, but some of it you can understand if you really sit down decipher the lyrics.

[KevinTheVillian]

@ljsljflkda . . I think it makes perfect sense and im being serious

[nrod81]

OMG...after 2 years i thought i heard every lupe song invented and then i find this one and blows my mind

[Ledamonster]

HOTTY!!!

[mrgqguy]

LUPE FIASCO > 2 PAC

[YoungKnoccOut]

@mrgqguy

No fucking way ur stupid Lupe will never touch Tupac even tho Eminem is commercial

Em is still better STFU

Lupe will have a nice run in the game but it will never TOUCH pac's legacy

Lupe is nice as hell but u r fucking stupid Do u know why Lupe doesnt get reconized

i know its because of the media but its also because His voice doesnt have

that i cant really explain it Lupe metaphors is sick but hes BORING dead fucking ass

hes not like Biggie Big L Pac Cannibus DMX Em AZ

[KevinTheVillian]

@YoungKnoccOut Those are like 2 completely different types of rap.

[JColeM7785]

@YoungKnoccOut naw, what he spits makes his voice irrelevant. All the other artist you named have to be creative in their delivery. Lupe doesn't because frankly, he writes and spits what all the rappers you named.....can't. In fact, he could imitate them and sound just like them on records....but could they write anything nearly as complicated? Nope.

[JColeM7785]

@YoungKnoccOut point is....mainstream of humanity is dumb....that's why smart azz dude like Lupe isn't popular. I know you won't say most people aren't dumb right?

[rjy0u]

Eminem is actually no where near lupe...

[tbrehz86]

its on his mix tape

[bobskee123]

why isnt this on itunes what album is it on

[thebballer25]

@bobskee123 its on one of his mixtapes

[MeAreHere5]

@bobskee123 Fahrenheit 1/15 its a mixtape. use datpiff its good for mixtapes

[philzeeman]

Ya'll think this is lyricism you should listen to Joe Budden after he made Pump It Up. Lupe just flows but you have to agree he goes no where with his rhymes.

Joe Budden - Three Sides To a Story, Get the Picture, Walk With Me, and many more. Real Hip-Hop.

[theprofessional2009]

He makes it sound so easy. I reriously herd this like 9 times and I still have to analyze evey word. He's on a whole different level, like he's ahead of his time and an artist and as a lyrical MC. Im from Chicago so it feels good to have him represent Hip Hop. One luv Lupe

[0194D]

@theprofessional2009

Like lupe said himself, when we are thinkin valentine's, he's thinking christmas trees.

[kabol69]

@theprofessional2009 my friend... thats what i said about the cool and one song that sticks out at the time is "gotta eat" but i have a mix tape by lupe called "enemy of the state/before there were lasors and i listen to them 100 percent of the time along with slightly stupid, sublime, bob marley, ect. there are only three songs that are personal to me on a different level then anything else and lupes "hurts me soul" is one of them. and people swear lil wayne is a better artist, i think not!

[orourkeo]

Lupe is very nice, but Eminem shits on the game. He is in a whole different league...or galaxy, ya dig.

[chozen1fl]

dude i'm glad somebody know em the best i mean i love lupe thats my #2 but em is best period word play style ryhme formations is just crazy sick

[chicagobert018]

HIP HOP. SPITTING TO nas beat (another great) LUPE IS GREAT

[witbio]

not hating bt wtf is he tlkin about???

[influencedamc]

dude he's talkin bout the twightlight zone in a hiphop scenerio (spell check)

[witbio]

iluminati?

[Vinny6420]

Lupe Fiasco IMO is the best rapper of now.

[looseygoosey8]

lupe fiasco is the true meaning of an artist...

[fyekid101]

you no when a rapper is incredible when you have to analyze every word as if it was a riddle line by line .

Worship Lupe fiasco , The GOD of hip-hop .

[Pr0metheu5]

lilkidmon/PLeasureJet You two sound like your brainwashed by the media.

[mrhall2907]

forgive the lil wayne and soulja boy fans...they dont know what real is. All they know is the fake images the media puts out

[AFRO5486]

you are so right lupe is the best lyrical master

[TheChevyboi36]

@mrhall2907 especially soulja boy fans.....turnt up = crap

[lilkidmon]

honestly this is just aight

[PLeasureJet]

This isnt actually that good.

[Traycuzsex]

lupe truly the best rapper alive!

[sergiojortiz88]

Joe Budden - Who killed hip Hop

Check that out if u want some sick lyrical shit

[BallroomSoviet]

lupe fiascos the shizzzz

[TheChildFromTheSand]

damn....this was the rawest display of lyrical strength i've ever heard...i've listened to it 6 times with lyrics and i've only analyzed half of it lmao

[xxhunterxx08]

its the enemy of my enemy is my enemy you stupid fuck....before you start trying to prove your "intelligence" over youtube why dont you get your facts straight you scrub

[TeJai92]

dont really listen to lupethat much but he killin it in this song

[mindset]

u definitely need ta start listenin ta him fam, he the future of Hip Hop

[cbm2115]

fucking dope man

[Lill2Stepboy]

DAAAAAAAAAMN FUCKING LYRICALLL

[dajjtm]

yall stupid mike 47321 wazz right "theres no friends the enemy of my enemy is my enemy"......because he said no friends and if he said is the inner me that would make da whole line not make any sense

[narufan342]

he killed this shit, brought it back to life, and killed it again.

[mred101]

I don't think Lupe should have rapped on this... this beat fits Nas Lyrical content mostly.I mean you hear New york Og all in this.But Lupe got redundant on this.

[imALLn]

you got a lyric wrong.

its actually "The enemy of my enemy is my inner me"

[NOTsethers198]

are you sure? I thought the saying went "my enemy's enemy is my friend". Hmm maybe I'm wrong but i think his lyrics are right. He does leave out some words though

[imALLn]

check the line before it. he says "there's no friends"

[mike47321]

WTF...his lyrics do say 'the inner me' and it's wrong. It's 'THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY ENEMY'....

[imALLn]

he obviously changed it broham. relax.

[rtfresh]

you dont get it. he said it different to fit his song. he says "the enemy of my enemy is the inner me" in a nut shell hes sayin that he relates to his enemys, enemy cuz they both hate the same person (or their enemy) whats his enemys, enemys is feelin is also what hes feelin on the inside (or his inner me) which is hate foe the same person. ...........honestly if he wrote it dont correct it. he knows what hes writting. lol. cuz he wrote it. i shouldnt have to explain it to u.

[Ki77aCap]

It's either what you said..or it's...

He is referring to his inner self as his enemies enemy.

Normally it would be, his outside self as his enemy, but it's inner self that the enemy in this case

[darksonic50047]

is this on food and liquir, the cool, or is this like a mixtape

[cubscatch25]

pretty sure its off a mixtape called unsorted...not possitive so dont flame...its of a mixtape for sure tho

[cubscatch25]

it is off farenheit 1st n Fifteen

[darksonic50047]

[WrestlingKingTV]

好, I like dat!

Lupe keeps Rap and Hip Hop alive!

[Timmydatoof93]

[GeminiJh26]

Lupe Fiasco underated MC. THis song is hard

[thenexttmac36]

omfg im like half way at tears!! the music industry is ass yo!! why cant they see that this is pure talent!!

"a button up just drove by in a 6/4 impala"

i just sold my soul to hiphop after tht one!!

[jdizzle124]

u obviously don't understand the complex metaphor about the problems in african-american he is trying to get across.

[HxCJosh23]

I dont give a fuck

[darksonic50047]

what you be talkin bout homie

[44ksmith44]

u don't know good music then

[gedbeat15]

i just love how he takes everything associated with the hip-hop culture and brings them to life in a crazy way....

"I just picked up an obituary of a bullet-proof vest..." only Lupe!!!

[GreatTerro]

Lupe 4 Life!

[thetempun]

This is metaphor for all the madness going on in the hood and instead of making names out to people he uses the major "luxury" of hip-hop such as liquor,drugs,and technology to interpret them as "people" such a lyrical status better than anyone. He's not better than jay-z he's better than anyone but because is music don't make 1# hits he's basicallly the best mainstream artist ever to exist and i mean better than 2pac on a lyrical level anyone on a lyrical level.

[jaykay071]

im am a hardcore tupac fan like and i completely agree

tupac had alot more to say mind you but he wasnt on lupe's level

this guy no's what hes talkin about

[318Ghost]

wow

[chrisnfrlable08]

He's Better Then Jay-z Lyrical

[tomgetoutoftheboat]

sick

[DTate1922]
