Coming Up
Lupe Fiasco Feat. MDMA Lyrics

If your feeling good Let me hear you say alright, alright? Ann what up? Alright Pooh bear! I'm feeling good so I'mma say it myself Alright? alright Claudia Alright
The artist is hyping up the crowd and asking if they're feeling good, and proceeds to show off their excitement. They shout out a few names and continue to engage with the audience.

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
The artist is directing the song to teenage girls, specifically those growing up without their father around. The artist offers words of encouragement and motivation, celebrating their personal identity and individualism. He reminds them that they can be whoever they want to be and do whatever they want to do, without needing a man to provide for them or tell them what to do. The artist continues to say that life is full of opportunities and enjoyable moments - they just have to dance and live their lives to the fullest.

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
The artist is acknowledging everybody, whether they have money or not, or if they come from the burbs (suburbs) or the hood. He's relating to them by mentioning his own past and decisions he's made along the way, and refusing to dwell on moments that he's already moved on from. He wants to push forward and lead others in the right direction, providing guidance and reminding them that they don't have to take a turn for the worse to get where they want to be in life. He's motivating his audience to graduate from school and make smart decisions with their money.

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
The artist is assuring his audience that he'll always have their back, no matter what happens. He'll be their support system when they're going through tough times and provide optimism for a better future.

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
The artist acknowledges that life is hectic and crazy, some things happen that are good, and others that are not so good. He's been waiting for a particular person and tells them they're not alone and God can help guide them if they ask for help. He believes that tough times can enhance growth and bring about success. When haters try to bring you down, he advises to brush them off and keep moving forward. He gives a shout out to a person named King David and embraces independent women.

I see you coming up I'mma give you the lowdown, down, down, You ain't never gotta worry about nothin' Just as long as I'm around, round, round, round
