Heart Donor
Lupe Fiasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a heart donor, I'm a heart donor
'Cause everything I got, I give it all to you
My heart and my soul, I give it all to you
'Cause I'm a heart donor

I'm just a conduit
To keep you calm through it
So you respond lucid
That means you're non-foolish
When it's gone, stupid
You think you gon' lose it
But you don't bounce, you just bond to it
Like you Sean Con or Gorilla Glue-ish
With a blonde in your palm, King Kong in your coolness,
But they still tryna knock you off the roof kid
Singing you the blues, you crayon up the music
Change it into rainbows and rubics
Keep telling yourself you the wave of the future Howard Hughes is
It's huge if you refuse to blow your fuses
You blow up, exactly how Lu did

I'm a heart donor, I'm a heart donor
'Cause everything I got, I give it all to you
My heart and my soul, I give it all to you
Cause I'm a heart donor

I hope my stories can keep you off Maury
Away from ? far from mandatory
Which means, through the mail only way you see the shorties
Keep your sons out the slums and your daughters
Out of orgies
Look in the mirror, see yourself and adore thee
Whisper in your ear, I fear nothing that's before me
And always remember that you're royalty
From the line drawn until it's Porky
And everything that's in between
Make sure you cherish every scene
And put on the biggest show your adversaries ever seen
Now even if you've never limousine'd
Important, yeah you're very there
There's red carpet everywhere

I'm a heart donor, I'm a heart donor
'Cause everything I got, I give it all to you
My heart and my soul, I give it all to you
Cause I'm a heart donor

Just know I got your back, yeah I got it, and I will go to bat
Like Gotham's under attack I will spot em, keep you from ever touching the mat
Be your Robin, bring that onomatopoeia
Down upon all your problems like "zap! boom! bang!"
Cause all y'all my pals
I tribune through your tribulations, channel through your trials
Please God, help keep the value in my vows
A man of my words that Vanna turns around
And if your fortune turns, I never turn you down
No matter who your healthcare provider, I'm a rider
Even if I gotta bring defibrillators out




A John Q on cue just for you
Peace sign
