[Chorus: Matthew Santos]
When the fighters are all around
All the lovers are underground

No one will save you anymore
So what's happening, what you rapping about?

Little boy. Is it cars?
Is it girls? Is it money?

The world?

[Verse 1: The Five One]
These are my brains, laying over instrumentals.
Day to you received, received as Immenseful

Hurt by your kingdoms, denied by your fathers.
No apparent future, so why would you bother?

Live beyond the eyes streams, sleep in the sunlight.
Live and hear what I dream working but unlike

The proudless. Creep for a cause.
Denying reality as any written law.

Persistence is my flaw. The essence of an arm,
Subtracted by the welfare and anyone involved.

Stretched and enlarged. Stress of these bars.
I live in a box that I create with my heart

I am not my mind. I am not this body.
I’m not absent-minded, I just happen to be tardy.

Live to be in heaven, already at the party.
Particle to atom. Atom to a cell.

Sperm to an egg. An egg to a shell.
Shell for the baby that’s destined for a jail.

Sperm to an egg. An egg as a shell.
Shell for the baby that’s destined for a jail.


[Chorus]

[Verse 2: The Five One]

(Maybe I can make this a little simpler)

Now don’t even try, you live you die.
Your stress brings no pain, your positions a lie.

You feel for oppression, and hide by your faith.
But cause no progression ‘cause still is your pace.

Words on your shirt, don’t make you harder.
Dead man on your chest won’t make you a martyr.

You search and you search for something to stand for.
Yell “VOTE”, but you don’t even know what they ran for.

Speak of conspiracies between your ears,
Won’t challenge the system that conditioned your fear.

Some gasp or snicker, or look at a nigga
Like he should start war but they missing the picture.

This aint a joke, it aint serious, wrong, or right.
This makes you delirious inebriates sight.

So if you really hearing this change your life…
Maybe then we can fight.

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
I hope that God forgive us, all of us sinners
Turn us back into beginners, put us up where the winners go

Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow
Thank you for all your blessings and all of your miracles

I thank all my fans and all my supporters
Shout out to Bishop G, congrats on your new baby daughter

I tip my hat to all my family and friends
Now we just got one more to go

L - U - P – END

[Chorus to fade]
