[Sample: The Education of Sonny Carson]
You know, you got this fantasy in your head about getting out of the life and setting that other world on its ear. What the fuck are you gonna do except hustle? Now, man, I ain't puttin' you down. I'm just tryna make it real, baby, like it is— like it is—
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
Lupe Fiasco
Came from the ghetto
You know! (Ugh, yeah)
Food & Liquor!
It's the ghetto right here, man!
Uh-huh
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Ayy, it's real here (Uh-huh), dope fiends steal here
Turn around, give us the money to buy wheels here
Give you the chills, yeah? Developers don't build here
The property values low 'cause we still here (Ha)
Better believe most of us wanna leave
Furthest we went was out of our minds, but we still here
Weapons concealed here, lil' sisters on the pill here
Can't pay our bills here, but we like to chill here (Yeah)
Gotta reap what you sow, grow what you till here
Your mama weep where you sowed, ‘cause you was killed there
Police put cameras on poles—too many deals there
Gotta go to the county 'cause you was filmed there (Yup)
How does it feel knowing innocence was killed here? (Mm)
Last night, down the park, beating heart was stilled there (Tss)
For the love of his chain, I make appeals here
Let's pray for our brains, bust-downs kneel here
Church, yeah
