I DO NOT OWN RIGHTS TO THIS SONG.

Lupe blackin out over beat

Lyrics

[First Verse]
Ugh, I can't feel a field nigga pain, devious skill
That make a strong willed nigga wane
Since a little nigga hang with the killers and distributors of cane
They dismemberers of swishers then refill it with the Jane
Then they tilt it and they lit with a flame then they took a pull of killer to the brain like (inhale noise) ahhhh...
Evil minded like Krang
They became they deranged like the rover that I rolled
That was the Range that I drove when I was a little bit older
Mayne declaring war on the deck like they the Joker
All while ducking from Bruce Wayne
While they poker with the devil
And our moon littened ghetto
'Hello my name' stickers on the stickers of the veins
In rehab remembering the feelings when they used to get mellow
When they was on back of a nickel like Monticello
And the underworld had to be smarter than Donatello
No honor amongst fellows
It's harder than sitting with a blind man and trying to describe yellow
Got me feeling like killer Joe
My life the album
Know the classics by heart and exactly how the filler go
Repeat it on my way to the liquor store, chocolate.

[Second Verse]
Cause I can't feel the field niggas chains
Though I covet mine, so I covered mine in bling
Then I bumped into a bum and covered mine in shame
Then I bumped into a hon' and uncovered mine again
Diamonds been under minded mayne, they give a nigga with no mack another kind of game
See money talks in another kind of slang
Detectives can't decipher as they listen through the wire as I accept the call
And listen to the lifer
Getting religion and making voodoo in the sink of your cell
Reciting Al-Fatiha in the kitchen
In deed on his deem and in addition to doing dishes
Listen as I get schooled on the rules to rule
Fuel of fools, the obstacles, the cool
Had to slow it down homey
Chopped and screwed
He said 'blow it down for me'
Sticks and stones make the homes
Only god's words can stop the wolves
And don't fraternize with pigs those kids will think your stool
Not at the bar but trying to put him behind the bar like a bartender
He laid the law like the bar so I put it in a bar for dude
He said borrow my jewels and bar the fools
Cause they a playa (they will play ya) like the space bar in tools
Theme music to a drive-by, put it in your car and cruise...

  • Lupe Fiasco is the Best Emcee of this generation and arguably ever

  • The first time I heard this song back in 2007 I wished I could have told every rapper out to just quit and go to McD's and start flippin burgers cuz there was no way anyone could captivate me musically like Lupe did and does on this.. Pure genius on this song and even though he doesnt sell a huge amount of albums like a lot of other rappers he is by far the most talented and the most lyrically superior MC. IMO if you dont like Lupe you just cant have a functioning brain.

  • @mmckoy24 and then lasers dropped...

  • @DJRedMEDIA very very true all black everything is good and laser was you know eh but how come people dont seem to give props to words i never siad sure it may have an electric pop-ish beat but the lyrics are very much lupe fiasco

  • Jesus H this is real music!

  • @zlindrin or not simply enjoy him; this is a dope song tho

  • Lupe said it NO ONE DOES IT BETTER

    and i agree no one does rap better than lupe

  • The Lupe sampled version of the song sounds better than the Wale sample version.

  • @thelupendblog That was ILL! I like how they flipped that sample! That song was from "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" soundtrack.

  • @DJRedMEDIA But there are plenty of artists that are the same way. Jay Electronica, Blu, Shad, Fashawn, Tunji ect. all started rapping after 2000 and are far from gangsta rappers. Also, the Wu-Tang Clan is no less gangsta rap than any rapper out there today. They're far better lyricists than the average rapper nowadays, but they're 100% gangsta rap.

  • @ReturnOfTheZ I will correct him in politically correct fashion, Lupe Fiasco is one of the few artists that rose up in the 2000's and actually keeps it true to the style of Hip Hop without buying into all the trap music and gangsta rap that has dominated this era. In other words, if Lupe had rapped during the 90's and was around today, we'd put him up there with Nas and Wu-Tang, but if I had to guess, I would say that if he keeps putting out material he will be a shining star in this drought.

  • @poetmm lasers despite it's appeal to mainstream listeners, still had some classic tracks like "All Black Everything", that's okay though, because 10 years later when we look back on Lupe's albums to date, Lasers will be a small drop of ink on a masterpiece of a legacy.
