I haven't stopped GOING since i got off the plane.
"If you are what you say you are
a superstar
then have no fear
the cameras here
and the microphones
and they wanna know
If you are what you say you are
a superstar
then have no fear
the crowd is here
and the lights are on,
and they want a show
A fresh cool young Lou
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Want to believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you
Did you improve on the design
Did you do something new?
Well your name ain't on the guest list
Who brung you,
you
The more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you
You come too
And then it hit me
Standing outside of heaven waiting for god to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And too gum shoe
Too much of a newcomer
And too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle
I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who song blue
Go back whatever you did you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on my two tons too
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I been standing in this line
For like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting along
And when I got to the front they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are thrown
M&M's are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autographed picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every song's a favorite song and mics don't feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha hahaha "
Lupe Fiasco is my favorite rapper, and to me, he might just be the best ever.
That song is amazing, but all his songs are amazing (The Cool? best story song in hip hop period, sorry Slick Rick)
"Living conditions, religion, ignorant wisom and artisc vision,
I began to jot, tap the world and listen"
My arrival was a sign for a lot of people to take the plunge off the deep end. My people in the music scene lost their inhibitions, the people who owe me money from work can't believe i keep showing up hundreds of miles from where everyone says I am to be on their doorstep smiling, my friends don't know why, but the days just got crazier in the last 48 hours and they decided to jump in as opposed to run away. Good signs all of it, djing parties with two mcs, both wearing sunglasses with no lenses, early night parties in outskirt comboy towns, flashing lights, techno and thrift stores, and always more music.
The boys are back in town, everyone playing their role. Pictures from the first night back (Friday).
