Lupe Fiasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lupe!
Ho, Verbal
F-N-F U-P
Yeah, we do what we do
Chicago Mann

Can you let me know?
Baby can we get up together?
I ain't like those chicks, I'll treat you better
Don't waste no more time
Baby let's go
Maybe we can go
Baby I'm down to do whatever
I don't really care, it doesn't matter
Let's not waste no time
Maybe, let's go

Love, you gotta love it
Hold hands in public
I does it, cool
I dug it
Everything you do
And everything you doesn't
Everything you done
Hope I'm the one you does it to
Hope this trick goes wrong
And I'm cut in two
So I can feel it twice as much as two Lu's
To lose is something that I never wanna do
I' too loose to check on this track like choo
Choose, to choose, I'd rather have you
Even if it's half
And I'll even hold for the whole if I have to
But I don't wanna one
That's too close to none, come
But get rid of the gun
It's covered in clues
The one that you used
To kill off the player inside
And I brought back some flowers from the funeral for you
You should come and make moves with a brother like uh

Can you let me know?
Baby can we get up together?
I ain't like those chicks, I'll treat you better
Don't waste no more time
Baby let's go
Maybe we can go
Baby I'm down to do whatever
I don't really care, it doesn't matter
Let's not waste no time
Maybe, let's go

Yeah,I go by the name of Verbal
Yea let's go
Yo
It all happened in a second
My universe froze
Ain't a situation I chose
But it chose me
When I caught a glimpse
Of the beautiful, just posin'
I know all the rappers be talkin' about clothes and hoes
But she ain't that type, ya see
Anyway I'm still froze
Like MegaTron in chryogenic form
I need to get warm
Shes my cue
I gotta transform
So I could come through with whatever she wants
She's already glossed and flossed with charm like the 4 seas
Can't imagine what her closet with cost me
Yeah. my brain spin with velocity
Thinking about ways to get up
Wishin', but I can't, so I could be the man
So I just stand, wishin' I could have her

Can you let me know?
Baby can we get up together?
I ain't like those chicks, I'll treat you better
Don't waste no more time
Baby let's go
Maybe we can go
Baby I'm down to do whatever
I don't really care, it doesn't matter
Let's not waste no time
Maybe, let's go

Can you let me know?
Baby can we get up together?
I ain't like those chicks, I'll treat you better
Don't waste no more time
Baby let's go
Maybe we can go
Baby I'm down to do whatever
I don't really care, it doesn't matter
Let's not waste no time
Maybe, let's go

Yeah, uh uh
Yeah, at times like this
I dunno what to do but to rhyme like this
She probably don't even know I exsist
Can't figure out why I can't take this
Yeah, at times like this
I'm wishing I could be a little stronger than this
Too many worries and pre-requisites
Just to reach ya, just to be with ya
So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk
Uh uh uh
I swear to God
Yeah
So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk
I swear to God

Yeah. my brain spin with velocity
Yes, my mind spins rapidly


Thinking about ways to get up
Contemplating methods to progress or succeed


Wishin', but I can't, so I could be the man
Longing, but I am unable to, in order to be the best version of myself


So I just stand, wishin' I could have her
So I simply remain, wishing I could have her


Yeah, uh uh
Yes, hmm


At times like this
In moments like these


I dunno what to do but to rhyme like this
I don't know what to do except express my feelings through this rhyme


She probably don't even know I exist
She probably doesn't even know I am here


Can't figure out why I can't take this
Cannot comprehend why I cannot handle this


Too many worries and pre-requisites
Too many concerns and requirements


Just to reach ya, just to be with ya
Just to reach you, just to be with you


So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk
We are currently far apart, and all I want is to have a conversation


I swear to God
I promise


Yeah
Yes


So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk
We are still far apart, but all I want is to have a conversation


I swear to God
I promise
