[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
And what we have here
Snoddy great, Trey

[Hook: Trey Songz]
Girl, I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head, my head, my head
Girl, I want you to know
I don't even know what you did, you did you did, but I love it

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh uh, everythin' hooks
Everythin' works, you're a real good chorus
I'm a real good verse, freestyle unrehearsed
So clean, no curse
And when the song's gone, man everythin' hurts
So I put it in reverse, go back to the scene where I seen you first
Yeah, I need you to sing that single again
Play that video I seen you up in
A hundred million spins in my mind all day
Callin' requests on the line always
Yeah, the president of your fan club
Leave them players all behind like a band love

[Hook: Trey Songz & Lupe Fiasco]
Girl, I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head, my head, my head
(I can't get you out now) Girl, I want you to know
I don't even know what you did, you did you did, but I love it

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Playa need a minute
Like a time out in tennis 'fore I finish
How'd I get in this, maybe 'was your hair, maybe 'was your flair
Maybe it's the heels and the way you wear
Maybe it's you're real and the way you care
You don't care if I'm ill or a millionaire
The only thing that matters that the feeling's there
Your smile's so bright it's like a grill's in there
High off life, don't need a pill in there, nah
You're killin' me, I think I need a will in here
Got me feelin' real skills impaired
Hard to describe why you're still in here

[Hook: Trey Songz]
Girl, I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head, my head, my head
Girl, I want you to know
I don't even know what you did, you did you did, but I love it

[Bridge: Trey Songz & Lupe Fiasco]
Don't care what nobody say 'cause I like it girl
Might go crazy tryna figure this out, love
But I like it girl
Don't even know why I feel this way 'cause I like it girl
Caught up in something that I can't get out of
But we like it girl
C'mon

[Hook: Trey Songz & Lupe Fiasco]
Girl, I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head, my head, my head
I can't get you out now, said, I can't get you out now
(I want you to know) Girl, I want you to know
I don't even know what you did, you did you did, but I love it
Girl, I want you to know, I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head, my head, my head
Lupe, Trey, yeah (I want you to know)
Girl, I want you to know
I don't even know what you did, you did you did, but I love it
Just making sure, I don't even know

[Outro: Lupe Fiasco & Trey Songz]
Lupe, Trey
I can't get you out of my head, my head

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.
