New Lupe Fiasco - Shining Down (Feat. Matthew Santos)

FNF UP!

Look Up in the Sky.
Look Up in the Sky.
Look Up in the Sky
Thought I was down.
Thought I was gone.
Thought I was around.
I left you alone.
Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that Im everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.

Verse 1:
Well, well
Is that our little author?
Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered
Your attention, Put back on the flow like the department of water
Taken off of the door like little Walter
Chess? Yes. Baby Im Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause; Outlaw with the lawyer
Judge jury like a loop, Rap name Lupe, but my daddy named me Warrior
This is his memorial.

Hook:
Thought I was down.
Thought I was gone.
Thought I was around.
I left you alone.
Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that Im everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.

Verse 2:
No, I aint the nigga trying to get a liquor line
When I be scriptin lines, Wont this petition sign
It says Im sick of dimes, Sick of this prison time
I really love my people. Im sick of pimping mine.
Now if we autotune that shit,
We can hear the songs from that opera room fat bitch
Tell em its not to pursue it, just shoe it like a blacksmith
With trap, and movin round in circles like its chap stick
And thats the semi-circle way of thinking that were chapped with
Well rap is arounded ya head like the bandanas fabulous used to wrap his hats with
Rather being feds instead of National Geographics
Well Im not having it, naw.

Hook:
Thought I was down.
Thought I was gone.
Thought I was around.
I left you alone.
Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that Im everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.

Verse 3:
So, I say hello and this is for the third time
To everybody out there who aint never heard mine
And if you havent you know you aint never heard lyin'
Lu dont move.No cowards(cow-herds), you only heard lions.
Not a 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.

Hook:
Thought I was down.
Thought I was gone.
Thought I was around.
I left you alone.
Look Up in the Sky.
Just 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

  • I just played this song on repeat for about 30 times.

  • How did you come to that conclusion? To the others, it saddens me that the lyrical talent that Lupe possess wont land him in the top 10 MCs. Hardly anyone cares about the lyrical content anymore. All music is now is a fly track and a catchy hook. The rest is garbage. And those that listen to that garbage neglect the realness that artists like Lupe spit.

    Even singing isnt the same as it used to be. No one sings with soul or passion anymore.

    I love the modern day artist who are true to the game.

see all
