Lupe Fiasco quotes

Can't burn his cross 'cause he can't afford the gasoline

The books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there

Have become misinterpretated reasons for warfare

Reread them with blind eyes, I guarantee you there's more there

I'm a part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful

And I believe in the people, yeah

A traveling band of misfits and outcasts (Outcasts)

Nod they heads from Misfits to OutKast (OutKast)

A lot of scars, they did this without pads

A lot of hearts who did this without dads

Why you ready to die? You just a baby

Bishop G, they told me I should come down, cousin

But I flatly refuse: I ain't dumb down nothing!

All with no high, I do it so fly

Banksy's attack helicopter with the bow tie

I don’t believe I’m the savior of hip-hop or bringing hip-hop back or anything like that — I just feel like it’s me doing me!

I'm feeling really good, me and my different beat

Me and my different drummer; he play the timpanis

See that's what got me here, you hearing me

I can't compete with a Wiz Khalifa for the attention of a 12-year old

Put his struggles on display for 'em, 'cause he gotta go and face the drama

With a different face from the one that he use to face his momma

If you look close, you'll see it consist of a smile that hurts

An ice grill, and a trace of trauma; little bit of his father

"Now, let me make one thing clear

I don't need to ride yours, I got mine right here"

It’s better to throw away your attachment to the situation, because the situation doesn’t really care about you, to be honest.

I’m talking with a smile on my face, but I contemplated suicide

And treat every single one of your words like reinforcements

Now what's a coffin with a scratched ceiling?

Life, ain't meant to come around twice

Yeah, that's why I gotta get it right

Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu'

Tryna cash his microphone check, two-one-two

Wanna believe my own hype, but it's too untrue

The square's self aware and dares to self edit
