Lyrics:
Yea
Man
Life is full of ups and downs
Compared to how I been acting lately
Got me catching homicides
Family full of toxic drama
Baby mama's
Illicit
guys
We gon pour up a four in this Fanta
Respect a black man on a mission
From New York to LA we crippin'
Let em reflect on the album
The waiter
up and live!)
(Wake up and live now!)
(Wake up and live!) Break it down!
Come on, man!
How is it feelin' over there?
(Wake up and live now) All
And now Ladies & Gentlemen, Lupe Fiasco
Filet mignon with my food stamps
Car cosigned by my mama
Medical card from Obama
Background check for
scenario
Off the level live or in stereo
Young hustle to stay ahead of step
From where your best bet is to rep yours, repetitiously
'cause this veteran will
Oogin oh, holdin it down believe me
It's feezy's of the heezy, We be in somebody's basement beats by Jason
And Gran call me Chris and Jason
(Nelly)
You
busy I've been giving New York City a whole new sound
Who really gon' hold this down? Who? Me, funny
I catch niggas gettin' sour when I do me
I still
they wanna bring down the R
Damn, this is breaking my heart (my heart)
'Cause from fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters
I am part of the music
Way back when I was just a little bitty boy
Living in a box under the stairs
In the corner of the basement of the house
Half a block down
shit
Live from the New York borough, keeping it thorough
Bunch of snakes in the grass, stay creepin' like squirrels
Cuz a snitch gon' crack that nut,
a substantial risk
You weren't here for this
You can't heal from this
Get a taste of being abandoned
Getting singled out by yo family
Beaten, taken for granted
ignore us
I'm famous, look, mama
I really made it
Love it or hate it
You can't deny my greatness
Stay down, stay patient
I made it from the basement
New faces, on the pay slips
Hate for loose lips, I don't sink ships
I was down bad, coming up quick
Sacrifice a lil just to get rich
Cutting out
and socks off
By showing me that dollas in your drop-box
Me and all my friends, we don't buy bottles, we bring 'em
We take the drinks from the tables when
and socks off
By showing me that dollas in your drop-box
Me and all my friends, we don't buy bottles, we bring 'em
We take the drinks from the tables when
need a standing ovation for the new Detroit
Ima d boy im ima d boy
Once in a lifetime opportunity
From tragedy to beautiful community
Inspired by history
in
Oh yeah, don't forget to wipe down everything you touch
'Cause one fingerprint is one fingerprint too much
And detectives'll try to find clues
my type, pretty, thick, asian
Jaded, pull up on me get wasted
Baby, promise not to do me like Jada
Switched to the dark side, my new name Vader
Down
gon live if you don't
Back on the map chill, finna attack still
I don't pick no weed up less the air in its vac sealed
Tell me how it smoke, rolling up
to switch it up, bigger car bigger truck
Got the new house and that too was big as fuck
And this a must that you see me blow
Lil' nigga hold the weight
Every path that you walk is a graveyard,
Every step that you take near death,
cnd the road that you grew up and played on
in the hood is the last one
away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Is hip hop, just a euphemism for
two
Livin down the street where BIG got shot
I hunt you
And the very next day where Pac met his fate
It's how we live our life, surrounded by Che
Pause
, down, down, down, down
Twice the pride, double the fall
How can a messenger of God
Become unflawed
Perfected by affiliation
Pride is nurtured under
Discuss these down is the new up live from the basement by radiohead Lyrics with the community:
