Don't Stop
Lupe Fiasco Kanye West & Pharrell Lyrics

Explain yourself, how you sound like me?
Why do you try to mimic my style?

The motherfucking skateboard P
My friend and collaborator Pharrell Williams, who is known for skateboarding

Knowing that you're Milo
I know who you are

Playing games like Cee-Lo
You're messing around like someone playing games with dice (like the singer Cee-Lo Green, who sang the song "Rolling in the Deep"

In a tight situation like Speedo’s
You're in a difficult situation like someone wearing tight swimming trunks (like the brand Speedo)

You can have it your way like Carlito
You can do what you want, like the character Carlito Brigante in the movie "Carlito's Way"

My niggas would be happy to give y'all torpedoes
My friends would be happy to provide you with guns

And have your car twisted like a blunt
We'll vandalize your car and bend it like a rolled blunt

For you faggot-ass niggas that like to front
To those of you who pretend to be something you're not

I’m on some BBC bape shit
I'm into trendy clothing brands like BBC and Bape

I'm on some cake shit
I'm doing well and enjoying life

In the kitchen with the heat, making beats in my apron
I'm in the kitchen making music, even while cooking

You hating and you want to erase it
You're jealous of me and wish you could be me

Close your eyes when you know you can’t take it
You don't want to see what I'm doing because it makes you feel insecure

My flow interrupts your homeostasis
My rap style disrupts your emotional balance

I Rolls-Royce it on a regular basis
I drive a Rolls-Royce regularly

You talk street shit it sound like sweet shit
Your tough talk sounds fake and insincere

Straight licorice you niggas sound ticklish
You're easily intimidated and scared

80K large for the Hermes dream
I spent a lot of money on a dream I have for the fashion brand Hermes

Purple croc in all your magazines
I'm getting a lot of media attention for my purple crocodile clothing line

Hunger strike yourself, look like Celine Dion, me and my niggas like freon
You're so skinny, you look like singer Celine Dion when she was on a hunger strike, whereas me and my friends are cool as freon gas

Your bitch's on my pecan She got an ass you can eat on
Your girlfriend is attracted to me, and has a desirable body

Try to play tough like the leather on a Vuitton
You're trying too hard to be tough like the leather on a Louis Vuitton product

I hit it 'til I could seat on Try to get her freak on
I had sex with her until we were both exhausted; she was trying to get in the mood

Ask me to R. Kelly ya and get peed on I said "that ain't me, ma'am"
She asked me to urinate on her like singer R. Kelly did in a sex tape, and I declined

That 8 behind me still got the burner
I still have a gun with me

Yes, the enzo is still black like Sojourner
My car is still black, like the Mars rover named Sojourner

Truth, I might have just loosened a tooth Spitting what I did in the booth
I might have just made you feel uncomfortable with what I said in my song lyrics

I’m out, poof
I'm leaving

Carrera, raised in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle era
I grew up watching the TV show "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and I like cars made by Porsche

Water-bearer tell the truth, I dare ya
As someone born under the sign of Aquarius, I challenge you to tell the truth

Ya lie, so eat this whole bottle of these jalapeño peppers
Since you're lying, I want you to eat a whole bottle of spicy peppers

For terror made in America, too live
I'm too alive to be scared of terrorism in the USA

Fuck the property or give me my props properly
Either respect me for my talent, or don't talk about me at all

High off life this high technology, DeVry
I'm enjoying life, with access to high-tech gadgets, like those provided by the school DeVry University

I rep Muhammad Ali more like rapology
My influence is more like that of boxer Muhammad Ali, but in the world of rap music

My policy’s not to be dishonestly deprived
I won't let anyone cheat me out of what I rightfully deserve

So gimme that, gimme that, keep God
Give me what I want, but keep faith in God

Where my city at, I’m like steak and fries but never die
I represent my city, like the classic food combination of steak and fries, and I won't be forgotten

They wanna Ghostface, wanna be me But they will post-haste follow me into the after-life
People want to imitate me, but they will quickly follow me to the afterlife when they die

That means you going right after I’ve
That means you'll die right after I do

But I’m the hero sort of like Jack Sparrow
I see myself as a hero, like the fictional pirate Jack Sparrow

So some way, some how, I have survived
Despite the challenges and struggles I've faced, I'm still here

Ha ha, surprised
I'm amused that you're surprised by my success

Who is he that we see coming over the tides
People are curious and amazed to see me succeed

In a speed boat, boatload of pride
I'm riding in a speed boat with a sense of pride

Fall of Rome, dress-shirted and mastermind tie
I'm dressed stylishly, like someone during the fall of the Roman Empire

He what happens when rapping and avant garde fashion collides
I'm the result of the intersection of rap music and cutting-edge fashion

OMG it's the C from the CRS LOLing at you haters
I'm part of the hip-hop supergroup CRS and I'm laughing at my haters

Tell your BFFs, like Yes, Mr. West's turn that new child rebel
Tell your best friends that Kanye West is starting a new trend for rebellious youth

Loud as a badass child level Who need a chorus? We do a tyrannosaurus
My music is loud and rebellious, and doesn't need a conventional chorus; instead, we use a metaphorical dinosaur

Tyrone, it’s been a year with no phone Could you explain how high is your zone?
A friend named Tyrone hasn't had a phone for a year and is asking how successful I am

We’ll take the plane, rub his nose in cocaine
We'll party hard and use cocaine on a private plane

There’s hoes in magazines you layin' saying you're lame
You're denying that you're interested in looking at women in magazines, which makes you seem boring

And for the hate in advance, pull down your pants Make ‘em kiss both cheeks like we living in France
If you're going to hate me, at least be friendly and polite, like they do in France

Diamonds blue, his business manager’s Jewish And if I get sued my lawyers Jews
I have blue diamonds and my business manager is Jewish; if I get sued, my lawyers are also Jewish

Some girls do grab the cojones Say "you got enough diamonds to at least Sierra loan us"
Some women are attracted to wealthy men, and might ask me for money

Brand new Ferraris, I gotta make the donuts
I have expensive cars to drive, but I also have to continue working hard

CRS is like a hip-hop Chris’ bonus
My supergroup CRS is like a bonus Christmas present for fans of hip-hop

Niggas is hating on the internet I couldn’t tell I was too busy rapping, G.O.O.D. as hell
People are criticizing me on the internet, but I didn't notice because I was too focused on making great music

I was too busy flying, parasail To Colette to get the new shit that Paris sell
I was enjoying myself by parasailing, and also went shopping in Paris for new fashion items

Tarantino, Da Vinci, getting Benjies, get half off of Fendi
I'm inspired by filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and artist Leonardo da Vinci, and I'm making a lot of money to the point where I can buy expensive designer items for 50% off

Half of that’s to Cindy's Hopped out the spaceship, put my Mork in Mindy
Some of my money goes to charities like the Cindy Foundation, and I'm so rich I feel like an alien like Mork from the TV show "Mork & Mindy"

Popped too many corks to let you dorks offend me
I've had too much to drink to care about what losers like you think

Props in New York, but Chi-Town’s the city Get my groupie hoochies Gucci, Monica Bellucci’s
I get respect in New York City, but my hometown of Chicago is where my heart is; I also attract beautiful women

Are those the real millionnaires or the bendies?
Are the overly flashy and rich people I see actually millionaires, or are they just pretending?

I’m so ultra I’m even over Oprah
I'm so popular and successful that I've surpassed even Oprah Winfrey

But let me check your account, haha, no sir
But when I look at your bank account, I can see that you're not as successful as me
