lilies
Lupe Fiasco Ft. Sirah Lyrics

Come, and bring the pieces to the master
Bring the broken pieces to the master who can organize and complete them

He who organize by size then completes them with the plaster
The master organizes and completes the broken pieces based on their size and with the help of plaster

Now, what should we call it?
Questioning what to name the completed piece

After the 12 cocktails prevails the inner alcoholic
The inner alcoholic comes out after drinking 12 cocktails

Who knelt you by the toilets?
Asking who bullied and humiliated them in a restroom

Remember, remember? Just like the Knights of Malta
Referencing the historical event where the Knights of Malta were betrayed and massacred

Niggas like their liquor malted, manifested like a land without the Indian
People prefer their alcohol malted and the land they inhabit was taken from Native Americans

Just all kith and foul kin
All friends and family are dishonest and unkind

Whether Maltese or Millennium
Regardless of their age or origin

Saucer, Chaucer of the airwaves
A broadcaster or disc jockey of the airwaves like Chaucer was a poet of his time

Too assist once a nigga leaves, but her hair beige
Someone helps out once they leave but it's not a trustworthy person

The other's hair shaved
Referencing someone with a shaved head

Both standin' at the bottom of the staircase poised
Two people are waiting at the bottom of the staircase, ready for something

But boys too coy to look in their face
Boys are too shy to make eye contact

Oy bring the dabber, you can have 'em
Asking someone to bring a smoking device and letting them have it

On annual sabbatical, lookin' lousy in the cabin
Taking a yearly break and looking untidy while in a cabin

Groomin's only prudent to continue working with humans
Grooming is necessary to continue working with other people

But ain't no livin' signals inside my circle of students
No living signals inside the circle of students the singer is teaching

Lilies in the valley of my heart
There are lilies growing in the singer's heart

Lay you on your back and fall apart
Putting someone on their back and emotionally falling apart

Lately I been looking at the sparks
Recently, the artist has been paying attention to sparks

It got my mind going back to Cali after dark
Thinking about California after dark

I got a problem with commitment I'd say
Admitting to having a commitment problem

Laying here waiting on waves
Waiting on waves while laying down

To wash away the palisades
Waiting for waves to wash away the fortifications

Buried as a barricade
Being buried as a barricade

Put the lily in the valley of my heart
Asking to put the lily in the singer's heart

Leave, and take these pictures to the pawn shop
Leave and sell these pictures at the pawn shop

Tell 'em you want the same amount of money that the one got
Asking for the same amount of money as someone else got for similar pictures

Pull up on the side of his Ghost and let the Dijon drop
Drive up beside someone's car and let mustard drip on it

If they muster up the courage to murk us at the Quran swaps
If they have the courage to kill us at a meeting for Quran exchange

For the ones that tell you how to orchestrate the bomb plots
Referring to people who teach others how to plan bombings

Taught you well on how to tell the impostors
Taught well on how to spot impostors

Made an inner city Mosque in Mississippi, Madrassas
Building a mosque and Islamic school in an American city in Mississippi

Much like differences in instances, itty-bitty is topless
Small things can still be important and make a difference

That was food for the fingers
That was easy for the fingers

Dim the lights to set the mood for the singers
Lowering the lights to create a certain atmosphere for the singers

Who can turn the stage into a school for the redeemers
The singers can turn the stage into a place of learning and redemption

Like an agent teaching Afghans to use the tool with the stingers
Like how agents teach Afghans how to use stinger missiles

Useful as a back tire to a flat tire
Useless, like a back tire on a flat tire

A bazooka's your best friend until it backfires
A weapon can be helpful until it harms the user instead

Your strata needs a bunk bed ladder to climb up
Your social status needs a ladder to climb up

And high hopes will put this whole matter behind us
Having high hopes will help resolve the whole situation

Still, debunking the myth of a sleepover
Disproving the idea of a sleepover

As the enola sneaks over
As the Enola Gay plane sneaks over

The seat thinking ricolas fixes Ebola
Some people believe ricolas can cure Ebola

Hol' up, heathens and thieves, in case police show up
Wait, heathens and thieves, in case the police arrives

Out the belly of the beast, making the streets blow up
Causing chaos in the city as if coming out of a monster's stomach

Blowing in her hands, making the heat hold her us in streaks
Blowing on hands to keep warm as heat waves pass by

All my skills on the hilltop, you can hear a quill drop
All of the singer's skills are being demonstrated on the hill, even the sound of a quill dropping can be heard

Spoon full of sugar help the pill pop
Sugar can help someone swallow pills more easily

Let us Tetris, little blocks until the bill clots
Let's fit little blocks like Tetris until the bill is full and paid

And then fill spots and make the field drop
Filling in spots to make the field drop

Levels, wearing the barren's medals
Achieving different levels while wearing medals earned

Otherwise bare expect for a pair of petals
Otherwise bare except for a pair of flower petals

Somethin' like a bear except he's wearing a pareo
Something like a bear except wearing a sarong-like garment

Fair safe haven to take your share of De Niro
A fair and safe place to take your share of money

In his care, might square to a pair of you share hold
Under his care, you might end up sharing something with another person

Heavily invested to bury every [?] now
Determined to bury someone or something, now invested in doing it
