[Intro]
What they say, what they say now
What they say, what they say now
What they say, what they say now
What they say, what they say now
Protect Lil B, at all costs, namsayin'

[Verse 1]
Last club, left the bathtub
Like a flash flood baptism
Caps sizzle packs in the van
That's thizzle as Mac Drizzle
Deal is half pickle
Jammed as bad pistols
The poorly dressed
The correlated, the laureates
No relation unless it's coronated to coronets
As well, Oswald Cobblepot, Alpo
How so
Pepperpot love a heartless man in a letter that's penned to Gwyneth Paltrow
The ends justify the outro
Black hue, Hugh Heffner to the heifers
The boy cow's a gaucho
L'Oreal, story tales
Brush blush on the rough cuts of the Maury fails
You are not the cannon fodder, relax
Catch me outside, how 'bout dat
Trust all the Einsteins, if you want the facts
Fuck Harvey Weinstein, if you want to act
White people having serious brand issues, can't kiss you
Behind the scenes, fuckin' us from the back
Got too comfortable with Barack
Now uncle Trump's making me feel so un-wonderful with the hat
Who watchin' you by the cap
Make America great again
I just don't to wait at these great American gates again
Patiently staying in place for 3 hours for a rollercoaster is Ridiculous
Well isn't it?
Protect Lil B, and all lowercase betas
To overtake the haters
To motivate the saviors
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yea

[Outro: Lil B]
It's all love, I don't promote violence, I'm never with the violence. So I love them and it's all good, you feel me? I'm still here, I got jumped by like 10 mothafuckas, you know what I'm sayin? Been by myself. It's all love though, like I said, it's all love

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.
