[00:00.00]Lupe Fiasco – Audubon Ballroom
[00:10.00]
[00:16.41]Yeah, uh huh, yeah, God is great
[00:34.65]Ghettos, America. U.S. to the izzay
[00:38.11]Killer in the citywide sprizzay
[00:41.11]Where there’s sunshine in the shizzade
[00:43.24]Church won’t pull him out the pin like a grenade
[00:46.60]For acting out their fears like a charade
[00:48.88]So they blacking out their tears like it’s lights out
[00:52.54]Bring them out the black like a lighthouse
[00:55.57]And wave to them before they wiped out
[00:58.23]Lifesaver, threw them, hope they catch it
[01:00.76]But it’s so Titanic to be iced out
[01:03.65]That’s just scratching the surface like triple axels
[01:06.51]Want to roll around that Bentley like Crystal Castles
[01:10.11]In addition to the chain
[01:11.92]That’s just to take the attention from the pain
[01:15.21]Or is it the mission of the man?
[01:17.58]Audubon Ballroom, Motel Lorraine, huh
[01:20.64]Now, white people, you can’t say “nigga”
[01:27.39]Sorry, got to take it back
[01:31.26]Now, black people, we’re not niggas
[01:38.75]Cause God made us better than that
[01:43.21]No break, all wake, little mayhem
[01:45.76]For your All State Mayhem, all state
[01:48.24]Get up good, fall great like a golf grade
[01:50.72]Make the ball break
[01:51.75]Just one swing, no putting
[01:53.79]That’s how I try and does things always
[01:56.81]Especially when you passes
[01:58.17]Martin, Baldwin, Audubon Ballroom
[02:01.09]Turn the glass ceiling to a glass floor
[02:03.73]And make a trampoline out of trapdoor
[02:06.76]On that gasoline when I was back poor
[02:08.97]Loudly crafting out my dream
[02:10.35]Underneath a tap floor
[02:11.86]Backpack battle-cat, underground rap lore
[02:14.60]Anonymous but dominant
[02:15.88]What’s a Mac to a hacker?
[02:17.76]In other words, we lyrical Zuckerbergs
[02:20.05]Pimp you may move a mouse
[02:21.37]But what’s a rat to a cat star?
[02:23.52]It’s like a gig to a app store
[02:25.32]My rap black history, can only see
[02:27.32]My past if you fast forward
[02:29.14]Now, white people, you can’t say “nigga”
[02:36.01]Sorry, got to take it back
[02:39.93]Now, black people, we’re not niggas
[02:47.28]Cause God made us better than that
[02:52.14]Black Panthers, black anthems
[02:53.80]Black blues with black answers
[02:55.71]From black stanzas: Langston Hughes
[02:58.18]Breaking rules, ain’t it cool?
[03:01.14]Took it old and made it new
[03:03.58]Black painters, musical black anger
[03:06.45]Black mothers, beautiful black anchors
[03:09.24]So let’s hear it for them, let’s hear it for them
[03:12.30]Let’s hear it for them, let’s hear it for them
[03:14.94]Black America, trap America, 80s Babies
[03:19.24]Crack America, rap America, bad as Erica
[03:23.51]From the era of family tearing up
[03:26.29]But we just won big, can’t be undid
[03:29.22]Form a whole culture in just one kid
[03:32.00]Miami dope boys, open militants
[03:34.96]Harlem Rennaissance as deliver rhymes
[03:37.75]Now, white people, you can’t say “nigga”
[03:44.55]Sorry, got to take it back
[03:48.50]Now, black people, we’re not niggas
[03:55.91]Cause God made us better than that
[04:06.36]So let’s hear it for them, let’s hear it for them
[04:09.47]Let’s hear it for them, let’s hear it for them
[04:17.78]So let’s hear it for them, let’s hear it for them
[04:20.90]Let’s hear it for them, let’s hear it for them
