Lupe Fiasco Lyrics

If your feeling good Let me hear you say alright, alright?
If you're feeling good, express it by saying 'alright, alright'

Ann what up? Alright Pooh bear!
Hi Ann, how are you? / Alright. / Hi Pooh Bear!

I'm feeling good so I'mma say it myself Alright? alright Claudia Alright
I'm feeling good, so I'll say it myself. / Alright? Alright. / Hi Claudia. / Alright.

So how you gon' do this one
How are you going to do this next song?

This one goes out to the baby girls In a rush growing up in this crazy world Yeah your brother on the road and he never home I know you feeling kinda sad now that daddy gone You can't let it get you down, gotta carry on We only lose things because it makes us strong You always had my love, and now you got a song From the biggest biggest fan that you've ever known I know you want me, little girls, not for very long And you ain't gotta have a man if you don't never want 'Cause I'm gonna make sure you got two of everything That you ever want, every tone, of your very own Not to make you hard to respect Just really really really really hard to impress It's a whole wide world for you to go and get your hands on Until then, just come and get your dance on now
This song is dedicated to young girls growing up too fast in this chaotic world. Your brother is away and you might be sad because your dad is gone. But you can't let it bring you down, you must keep going. We lose things to become strong. I have always loved you, and now you have a song from your biggest fan. I know you won't be interested in me for long and you don't have to be with a man if you don't want to. I will ensure that you have everything you ever wanted, in every color, and it won't make you hard to respect but just harder to impress. The world is vast, and you have to get out there to succeed, but for now, just come and dance with me.

I see you coming up I'mma give you the low down, down, down You ain't never gotta worry about nothin' Just as long as I'm around, round, round, round
I see you succeeding and I'll give you the inside scoop. You don't have to worry about anything as long as I'm here for you.

This for everybody feeling good You know who you are, or you misunderstood Never had money, or you living good If you from the burbs, if you in the hood Recognize where we come from In my day, mane, I did a little somethin' some' They like "how come you don't rap that?" 'Cause that's a backtrack and I ain't tryna back back I'm only moving forward homie that's that Direction, a lot of shoulders lack that I'm just trying give it to 'em like sat-nav Now I know I might not make it like a fat rat That's cool as long as he don't trap crack Graduate from school, and still let his pants sag Never catch a case, know how to let his cash stack Welcome to the map and go anyway tap back now
This is for everyone who is feeling good, whether you are rich or poor, from the suburbs or the hood. We need to remember where we come from, and even though times have been hard, we should keep moving forward. I'm here to give you guidance like a GPS, and even though I may not be hugely successful, I'm okay with that as long as I stay true to myself. You should graduate from school, not get into criminal trouble, and know how to grow your wealth. You're welcome to the roadmap I offer.

And if the floor falls out I'mma be there to carry you And if you want that star I'll go get it out the sky for you If you gotta shed a tear I'mma dry your eyes Just to let you know it'll be alright
If things go south, I'll always be there for you, and if you want something, I'll do my best to get it for you. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there to comfort you and help you know that everything will be okay.

I know it's like a whole lot going on Things going right, things going wrong Maybe baby, I've been waiting for you so long Know that in this world you're never really on your own God got a number get him on the phone He'll never put you places where you don't belong Put you through the pain, to put you on the throne And I know that from the bottom of my chromosome And if they looking at you sideways You just wave right back, tell 'em hi hater Mad you ain't hanging with 'em in the driveway Nah we going to keep it moving to the highway Strongest putting on, the week is all over like Friday, chilling Shout out to King David for bringing in the feelin' And I'mma put the independent women in the building let's go
I know life can be complicated, with things going right or wrong, but I've been waiting so long for you. You should know that you're never alone in this world, and even God is just a phone call away. He won't put you in a place where you don't belong, and even though it may cause you pain, it will ultimately lead you to the throne. I know this deep in my soul. If people are looking at you strangely, don't worry about it, just wave, tell them hi, and move on. We're going to keep pushing forward and succeed. Shoutout to King David for bringing us together, and let's cheer on independent women!

I see you coming up (I see you coming up yeah) I'mma give you the lowdown (down) down (down) down (all the way down) You ain't never gotta worry about nothing (don't worry about a thing) Just as long as I'm around (I'm around) round (yeah) round (yeah)
I see you making progress and I'll give you the inside track. You don't have to worry about a thing as long as I'm here for you.
