[Intro: Prolyfic]
Carrera's a predator
Collector of the best of the Ericas, Rebeccas, etcetera
Set in my way!

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
One for the money, and two for the base
Three for the bail, and four for the case
I hops out in my militant way
Fresh Puerto Rican Airs, green Michigan J
Hello my ladies, hello my honeys
Feast Your eyes 'pon feminine prey
Go (Carrera's a predator
Collector of the best of the Ericas, Rebeccas, etcetera
Set in my way, yeah)
Yes I move, I agree
I get to it, I'm more faster, lowkey
Like C-O-G, go backwards, me
I ain't trippin but you simpin'
Running around like a chicken with his head cut off
Well I be pimping, I be limping like a chicken with his leg cut off
The amputee, the man with

[Hook: Prolyfic & Lupe Fiasco]
You best, slow down
Cause you speeding
(I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe)
You best, slow down
Cause you speeding
(I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe)

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
The Fifteenth is me, the First is for Chill
12s for the toast and 20s for the wheels
Something for the cash and something for the bills
Representing for my New Jacks and all my Jills
Nice... real... tight
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, now
Back to my powers, my prowess
For moving the powders, my accolades
Don't put your alkaloids
All burned like aftershave right after fades
Boy, learn, quick
Might trip over spike strips
That's just a slight story
Inflate my white walls, reinstate the eyeball then I tip

[Hook: Prolyfic & Lupe Fiasco]
You best, slow down
Cause you speeding
(I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe)
You best, slow down
Cause you speeding
(I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe)

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Ichi for my city
And ni for my hood
San for the bad
And shi for the good
Go a dub for your addictions
Pennies for my thoughts, quarters for the flipping
Ten thousand dollars for my description
If it leads to a conviction
All that for tipping, half a mil for my depiction
And just fourteen-ninety nine to listen
Nerd, I heard that
Four Eyes, been called that before
They just jealous
Oyster Perpetuals, four I's for four
Chillin in my race car, gorilla like Bapestar
I lay law, I'm a villain and I break heart
And I ain't into offending no feelings
And if I did it, just means that you been chillin
With the great... Carrera... Lu

[Hook: Prolyfic & Lupe Fiasco]
You best, slow down
Cause you speeding
(I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe)
You best, slow down
Cause you speeding
(I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe)

[Outro]
I'm bout my money, bout my paper
Bout my money, Joe

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.
