Yeah!

[Verse 1]
I was like Porsche puller, Air Force footer
Automatic wristed therefore shook-up
Causing a stir every time I push up
007 with a jester and a look-up
It's Carrera-Ella from the F&F crew
With a tiger on his shirt, alligator on his blues
With a nice young lady and some righteous kung-fu
I'm fighting without fighting, enlightening you young fools
Frankensteins of mine, I tighten you young screws
Send lighting to your mind and make you move
Car like cannonball, run!
I'm lighting my guns fuse, one:
That mean I'll lean and leave you, I mean this, Needlz
They hook to my hooks, they rehearse my verse
And they sing my singles I can't even see you

[Hook]
With it tilted, brim low, brim low
With a Cartier eye and his car go by like
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!
Tilted (tilted), brim low, brim low
With a Cartier eye, and his car go by like
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!
Fresh-to-def F&F!

[Verse 2]
I wear Cartier glasses, Van dutch pants-es
Gameboy Advances next to the black berry
I'm next to my black berry Molasses
Hat very slanted rapping to the riders
Writer of the stances driver of the riders
Matter of fact Shur the chauffeur
Reverse the fifteen teen is so serve
The serve is so mean like I served in the marines
And it's full metal jacket
Upset the jokers every time I draft it
They trys to jack it change my will
I can wait for triple A I remain, I chill
Even still niggas don't know the drill
And I mean it needles
Just hook em with my hooks, they rehearse my verse
And they sing my singles I can't even see you

[Hook]
With it tilted, brim low, brim low
With a Cartier eye and his car go by like
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!
Tilted (tilted), brim low, brim low
With a Cartier eye, and his car go by like
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!
Fresh-to-def F&F!

[Verse 3]
F, F I to the A S C O, flyin' like Neo
They lien' like Leo, Cleo maybe they fronted
But they ain't never done it like he though
Refering to me Joe!
I feed them through the bars like CO's
I lead them through the harm like a Hero
Peaceful
But I can bring the violence like Nero
Right to your keyhole then bring it back to silence
Cause that's the G-Code
Which means that if you brought it or your about to bring it on
But tell the polices I ain't seen it because I had it

[Hook]
Tilted, brim low, brim low
With a Cartier eye and his car go by like
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!
Tilted (tilted), brim low, brim low
With a Cartier eye, and his car go by like
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!
Fresh-to-def F&F!

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.
