We Love You Lupe
(I Love You, Baby, I Love You)
We Love You Lupe
We love You
(I Love You Too)

Uh, thats what they say to me
And I entertain it quite playfully
But serious though, I'm curious george
Killing cats with a flow type gracefully
Lean back and I raise my feet
Give a little blow before I sip my tea
On a world tour I'm making Paris
Lu at the Louvre can't wait to see
8.50 I done paid my fee
Say What Up To Venus And I Take My Lead
Hit Collette, and then Bape, Esprit
Decide to sit it down like a maître d
Watch All The Pretty Little Mates To Be
They Be Trying To Picture How I Make My Cheese
Little Apricot On The Plate I Eat
Running late on my Casio face I see
Chefs in the kitchen wanna bake my steez
But I keep it chill bout the 8th Degree
Everywhere I go I gotta take my skis so
Cool Turn Milk In A Taste It Free
Used to watch trolley go to Make-Believe
Eurostar, First Class, take my seat
Few More Pounds In My Hmp
Now I Got The Bounce - I Can Make Them Sing

[X2:]
We Love You
We Love You
We Love You
Yes We Do, We Love You

She Said She Loves Me And I Believe Her
Making It 100 Times Harder For Me To Leave Her
Im So Eager To Prevail
If Music Was A Female, I'd shag Her
And End Up Coming Quicker Than An Email
Why? Do It And I Leave Her
I'm Going Over Seas So Hide Your Daughters Behind Your Doors
The Minosaurs And Tore Them Down Like Minotaurs
With Metaphors From ??? And Tauruses With Dinosaurs
(Sway) But I Don't Vrooom With A Tech
But I Will, If You Go Against My Code Of Respect
If I Don't Hustle, My Heart Will Stop
Back In Britain Rappers Post Up Half The Stock
They Ain't Moving Half The Stuff
And They Can't Fit In My Shoes So Put A Sock In It
You Better Stock It Before I Sock It To You
You're A Laughing Stock
Americans Pass My Bags I'm About To Blow So Fast When I Start It Already Passed The Orchestra
She Loves Me And I Still Believe Her
Making It 200 Times Harder For Me To Handle It
Im Coming To America
But I Ain't Playing Football With You Folks
Cuz The Last Time The Bloke Picked Up The Ball And Ran With It
Pass Me My Passport And My Cargo
She Still Yelling And Telling Me I Can't Go
Lupe, Running My My Plane
Im About To Leave On My Way, Chi-Car Go

[X2:]
We Love You
We Love You
We Love You
Yes We Do, We Love You

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.
