[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
So I think you had enough
What up Chuck? FNF up
RKF tux, adjust my cuffs
John Lennon Chucks, Independent Trucks
Yup, a little bit of dust
Brush my shoulder
Plus, a little bit of church
Uh, I showed you
Just a little bit of what can happen
If you open up your eyes and imagine
Expand your horizons with rhyming and rapping
Quit rapping and rhyming bout coke and supplying
And clapping is anyone out there or are y'all all absent?

[Hook: Gorillaz]
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last to get away
To some another day?
Or do we know why we love?
Doesn't seem to be conveyed that way
Are we the

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Fahrenheit 1/15 part III
One time to the FNF army
After party in the Angel Nights RV
Don't forget your cell phones and car keys
Don't forgot to tip the valet where you park please
I wish you well
Good night, drive safe, A Rhyming Ape t-shirts on sale

Lupe Fiasco

The Chicago born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco first tasted success when he featured on Kanye West’s hit “Touch the Sky”, a track that shortly preceded his real breakout, his 2006 debut album Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor, and he never looked back. He has established himself as one of the greatest urban wordsmiths of all time, with Genius even dubbing him the ‘Proust of Rap’.

While he’s now regarded of one of the 21st Century’s Hip-Hop greats, he wasn’t always a fan of the genre, initially disliking it due to the prominence of vulgarity and misogyny within it. In his late teens, he aspired to make it as a lyricist. In his early twenty’s, he met Jay-Z, who helped him sign with Atlantic Records in 2005. The following year, he released his debut album (Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor), which was met with acclaim from fans and critics alike, as did his sophomore effort, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool.

The following eight years of his career saw far less output than many would’ve anticipated. This can be partly attributed to his struggles with Atlantic Records. The executives wanted him to sign a 360 deal; however, as he refused to do so they instead shelved his already completed 3rd album, Lasers, and wouldn’t promote him as they had previously. The overseers at the label also interfered with his music (as they had tried to do with his fan-favorite track “Dumb it Down”); subsequently effecting the quality and sound of his third and fourth albums.
