Lamborghini Angels
Lupe Fiasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a mad world out here, I tell you
The world's gone stark, raving mad
Everyone in the world is mad
It's a mad crazy world

I see diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

With a circle on the floor he compels them to be pure
Pulls the beast out of his heart then impales it on a sword
Writes a prayer on some paper and then he nails it to the door
Just the good of you may enter by the mercy of the lord
Listen not to what he speaks, that's been the cursing of his cause
A seduction of his senses by the devils he adores
The unholy has him hostage and his soul is now at war
Follow not his secret knowledge it will bring you no reward
Shunning while in public disallow him from your stores
Have no part in his affairs 'less his pestilence be yours
Make scoundrels of the righteous and virgins into whores
But we must still pray that his colour will be cured

I see diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

Diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

With her eyes to the ceiling and a needle in her brain
He looks back into the crowd, wipes the blood and then explains
How she slipped from this existence to the realm of the deranged
Her becoming must be halted to reverse what she became
From the looseness of her tongue, to the pollution of her aims
To do nothing is barbaric, the solution is humane
You must destroy the mind and hopefully retrain
You torture out the wildness, then replace it with the tame
Blank slate when she recovers, she won't even know her name
Perfect wife and perfect lover, no resistance, no complaints
May God bless the scientific cure for the insane
Knew she couldn't go to school, but she thought that that should change

I see diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

Diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

With his crucifix inside his pocket said his mission is divine
Put his bible on the bed and then he touched on his behind
Told him take off all his clothes and put your penis next to mine
Now the little boy think it's normal because they do this all the time
With no life inside his body now he finally think he’s safe
But they cut off all his fingers while they piss all in his face
He take pictures with his killers then they sneak back to the states
Now he sit next to the picture of his wife when she was raped
With the teleprompter rolling he looks right into the lens
Doesn’t mention his redemption but absolves him of his sins
He forgives them in advance says that he will do again

My fellow Americans

I see diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

Diamond-flooded demons
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels
Lamborghini angels




Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through
Halos down with the doors flapping when they came through

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lupe Fiasco's "Lamborghini Angels" contain powerful social commentary that critiques a range of societal issues, with a particular focus on the intersection of power, money, and morality. The song paints a bleak picture of modern society as a "mad world," describing a world that has gone "stark, raving mad."


The first verse introduces the idea of "diamond-flooded demons" and "Lamborghini angels," a metaphor that speaks to the corrupting influence of wealth and power. The image of diamond-studded demons suggests that even the wealthy and powerful are not immune to corruption, while the idea of Lamborghini angels implies that ostentatious displays of wealth and luxury have become the norm. The chorus repeats this image, with the "halos down" and "doors flapping" referring to the arrogance and ostentation of the wealthy and powerful.


The subsequent verses go on to paint a similarly grim picture of society, with references to religious hypocrisy, the medicalization of insanity, and sexual abuse. The song critiques society's tendency to find "scientific cures" for things it deems deviant or dangerous, rather than addressing root causes or systemic issues. The final verse describes a prominent figure absolving himself of his own sins while committing wrongs, highlighting the hypocrisy that often exists at the highest levels of power.


Overall, "Lamborghini Angels" is a scathing indictment of modern society and the ways in which power and money corrupt individuals and institutions. The song raises important questions about greed, morality, and social justice, and is a call to action to strive for a more just and equitable world.

Swagirama Senju I'm sorry, what? That's not what it's about at all. It's about the practice of using a lobotomy in order to 'cure' behavioral problems, sort of like what happened to Rosemary Kennedy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy

Hell, just look at some of the lyrics:
"With her eyes to the ceiling and a needle in her brain
He looks back into the crowd, wipes the blood and then explains
How she slipped from this existence to the realm of the deranged"

"You must destroy the mind and hopefully retrain
You torture out the wildness, then replace it with the tame
Blank slate when she recovers, she won't even know her name
Perfect wife and perfect lover, no resistance, no complaints
May God bless the scientific cure for the insane"
