<Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco> |
| [00:09.37] |
Pen to the pad, metaphors on fleek |
| [00:10.91] |
Took the words that I heard and I put em' to the beat |
| [00:13.09] |
Press up my tape and I put it in the street |
| [00:15.04] |
Upload my thousands without my link |
| [00:17.26] |
I'ma be upcoming just to see what they think |
| [00:19.39] |
I'ma shoot me a video and put it on the 'tube |
| [00:21.64] |
I'ma spam IG to get up my views |
| [00:23.74] |
If you have a favorite artist, I'm gonna be huge |
| [00:26.05] |
Put me a show that the blogs gonna cover and they all gon love it |
| [00:29.27] |
The crowd gon turn up |

| [00:32.39] |

| [01:06.34] |
So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here |
| [01:08.76] |
<Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco> |
| [01:09.03] |
Tryna get the tour bus with the studio |
| [01:10.93] |
It ain't no bus, just bootyholes |
| [01:13.56] |
Can't be out here looking like dookie when you're trying to start a movement that could mop on a movie role |
| [01:18.13] |
Everything's polished, I ain't go to college |
| [01:20.19] |
I was at the conference chopping with the djs |
| [01:22.60] |
Trying to give my single on replay |
| [01:24.33] |
And **** up on the game like colonics |
| [01:26.41] |
Hold the phone, take a flick with a fan for me (click) |
| [01:28.63] |
Hit the strips with a brick of the dance money (strip) |
| [01:30.71] |
I'm tired, let's switch with the van for me |
| [01:32.59] |
When I make it by, you'll print the advance money |
|

Light man, turn the lights on |
| [02:10.99] |
Came a long way from when I was holding the mic wrong |
| [02:13.07] |
Something for the hood and a whole lot of white songs |
| [02:15.22] |
Like I evolved to a whole 'nother life form |
| [02:17.42] |
I'm just tryna make it happen |
| [02:18.44] |
Don't attack that please |
| [02:19.51] |
Can't find a job, you can rap at least |
| [02:21.64] |
'Cause that's what I did, I was at that leg |
| [02:23.79] |
Right out of high school, tryna stack that cheese |
| [02:25.91] |
You was tryna do what? tryna stack that cheese |
| [02:28.07] |
You wanna flip burgers, wanna stack that cheese |
| [02:30.20] |
Make American singles, wanna stack that cheese |

Make everybody smile, tryna stack that cheese |
| [02:34.39] |
Tryna do it for a while, tryna stack that cheese |
| [02:36.45] |
Talking frequent flyer miles, how I stack that cheese |
| [02:38.67] |
