Lupe Fiasco - Failure (lyrics breakdown) скачать видео бесплатно

The most lyrical song in hip-hop. See how Lupe masks his drug dealing references with double/triple entendres.

LYRICS:

It's mean, so just

Now let me put the streets down like steam rollers

With the cats that push 40 ounces through the hood

Like king cobra, see me sling soda

Cause the extra foam in the split is mix

(It's really 36)

Used to buy toasters and clips

You can tighten your circle or boa constrict

While you was lightin' your purple I was over the scripts

See, I couldn't walk the walk

Couldn't really talk the talk

Had to get my talk to properly explain my walk

Cause this lack in talk had my walk lookin' off

Now I'm over the limp

Watch how they mugs drop when they see my verbals able

(that's the usual)

When I was po' I was low,

Now me and my chops cop purple label

It's Ralph Lauren on the Rap's Laureate

Nigg*s brown-nose, they are like alf to him

Runners and interscopers not as styled as him

Please don't interscope

It's gonna be a whole lotta IV-ing and respiratin'

If I lean out this window with Irene

Nigg*s as tall as Yao Ming

Will LUP emperor?

It's the foundation, I-beams and the antennas

It's so serious every time I write my john hancock

Like, you could damn near see Detroit (I see you)

Nigg*s is scared of heights (see you)

This is saran wrap and aluminum foil

Some potpourri a little machine oil

I stack my paper and throw off my six?

This is top flo', better look out below

Pennys from heaven is the same as a semi from the sect

And I reign supreme

Turn your umbrellas upside down

Did you even catch the change in theme?

(this is gangsta)

Lupe to the F to the I to the A to the S to the C to the O

From the west side of the C to the H to the I CA to the G to the O

(this is gansta, man)

This is gansta, man

Verse 2

And them nigg*s ain't watch

Known from him regime, gangsta lean

Hats on tilt like his sneakers ain't drop out the vending machine

You gotta put more money in

And I shake nigg*s up everytime I drop a bar

It's horse in the Porsche, bricks in the box

Like more money them every time I cop a car

You see I'm a roller, right?

So it might be a rover, right?

But every time I drop a 'r' get off the streets

It's over, aight?

Better being ahead like overnight

Like rollers, right, she the chauffeur, right?

So I keep her sober

She don't get fed-ex like overnight

I am dole the might

All that gas can't help, but sold the mic

So just call on somethin'

Drop a 's' pick up a 'o', you know, put it all on one

Then brace yourself like overbite

For that quiet nigg* that relocated down south

Comin' back to floss, nigg* get your molars right

Fix your grill

No plaque but a whole lotta cheese

This the drill, mr. Chill gave me the green light

Like yo the knife

So ima force my will like the force I will

Of course you will

Take my time but wait behind only pertains to that Porsche grill

It's snakes in the hood, gotta watch for that cobra bite

Let me see, there's snakes in the hood

A bird, a horse behind the grill

Some gator on the seat and a fox behind the wheel

No it's not noah's ark (ark), It's just a flower's start

This is Lupe to the F to the I to the A to the S to the C to the O

From the West side of the C to the H to the I CA to the G to the O

Verse 3

For achiever, my procedures proceed at all cost

With no breather

I'm all walk, rain, snow, a fever

I'm all coughs, comin after your teacher

I'm on the ball like FIFA, Feva, Lupe, Diche,

Long live the leaders

I remember I ain't have sneakers, it was welfare

Comin' up for air like whales there

Fila's, but now I'm well here

I'm Shamu with twelve pair

And nigg*s wanna take me back to zero like tear, fair

Well, my scale's clear

Your 'see' world is Braille here

I'm Bumpy Johnson, I stick to the streets

Keep my dawgs out in front of me

See what I'm sayin'? and I push keys wonderfully
