Shining Down - Lupe Fiasco ft Matthew Santos (Lyrics also)

I Know Lupe is mad about the leak, but im not distributing the download link or anything, only letting people listen.

enjoy.


Look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
You thought I wasnt around
That I left you alone

Well look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that Im everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you

Well, well (Well, well)
Is that our little author
Comin back, hummin his hymns a little altered
Your attention put back on the flow like the department of water
Taken off of the dough, like Little Walter Chess
Yes, baby Im Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause, outlaw with a lawyer
Judge, jury, like Alou
Rap name Lupe but my daddy named me warrior
This is his memorial

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
You thought I wasnt around
That I left you alone

Well look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that Im everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you

No, I aint the n—a tryna get a liquor line
When I be scrippin lines, want this petition signed
It says Im sick of dyin, sick of this prison time
I really love my people, Im sick of pimpin mine
Now if we Auto-Tune that shit
We can hear the songs from the opera grown fat bitch
Tellin us not to pursue it, just to shoo it like a blacksmith
Were trapped, and movin round in circles like its Chap Stick
And thats the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with
Well wrap this around your head
Like the bandanas Fabolous used to wrap his hats with
Rather be in feds instead of National Geographics
Well Im not havin it
No

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
You thought I wasnt around
That I left you alone

Well look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that Im everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you

So, I say hello
And this is for the third time
To everybody out there who aint never heard mine
And if you have then you know you aint ever heard lyin
Lu dont moo, no cow words (no cowards/no cow herds, you only heard lines (heard lions)

Not a Versa-cherisher (facade cherisher), Id rather have the scars
I dont idolize America, Im dancing with the stars
Uh-huh, all of them, yeah, they are too
You look up, and you see us
Shining down on you

You thought I was down
You thought I was gone
You thought I wasnt around
That I left you alone

Well look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
Just look up in the sky (Look up in the sky)
See that Im everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you
Shining down on you
Shining down on you
Shining down on you
