[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
And they say, and they say
And they say-ay-ay-ay, and they say

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh, yeah, one time for the drama
Halcyon vibes got me feelin' like a llama
At peace with the beast in these streets
At least I think that I am
Meditate away the drama or I'ma just go bananas
Life's a beach but no Bahamas, I just wanna wear pajamas
Whole life I been fightin' on piranhas
With katanas inside of my hand
I just wanna lay down, play sounds for the coolout
And, fall asleep on the pool couch
And, wake up to the new wave
And, take a break from the schoolhouse
Yeah, I don't wanna hear about it
Wouldn't be in here without it, not true
I don't wanna be alone, I ain't leavin' you at home
What's bein' on your own without... you?

[Chorus: Jake Torrey]
Oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
Oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Yeah, two times for the photo
Where the land, man, I don't know
Revolution to the bone door
Underground styles, shoulda came out of Stone's Throw
Yeah, for the good food and good times
Good moves, good friends and a good mind
Confident you'll compliment my consciousness
'Cause you were born under this sign
I just need a little peek
Little look in the book of important things
'Cause you can do, try to
Get loose without doin' a damn thing
Yeah, I don't wanna hear about it
Wouldn't be in here without it, not true
I don't wanna be alone, I ain't leavin' you at home
What's bein' in the zone without, you?

[Chorus: Jake Torrey]
Oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
Oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
I'm singin' it, oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
Yeah, oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child

[Bridge: Jake Torrey]
In the backseat or the backyard
Feeling like we got no problems at all
I'm so happy when I'm with you, with you

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Make me feel so free when I'm with you
When I'm with you
Make me feel so free when I'm with you
When I'm with you
Three times to be good to myself
Relax back, that's good for my health
So do not devise on my bae
I don't wanna be with nobody else
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
I ain't heard about nothin'
I ain't workin' on nothin'
But my perfect lil' woman

[Chorus: Jake Torrey]
Oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
Said oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child, like a wild child
I'm singin' now, oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
Yeah, said oh wow, you make me feel like a wild child
Oooh wild

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.
