unschooled to the rules and too gumshoe

and they wanna knowohohoh yeah
lupe fiasco
and you better wear your shades
the spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
down through the basement past the indian graves
where the dinosaurs laid and pyoom
out through china nearly misses airliners
magnified times five this was pointed at the rhymer
ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze woo
now that’s important to say
’cause even with all that most of us don’t want it to faaaade
we want it to braid
meaning we want it to grow meaning we want it to stay
like the governor called and he told him to wait
unstrap him from the chair and put him back in his caaaage
the audience ain’t fazed
and they ain’t gon’ clap and they ain’t gon’ praise ugh
they want everything back back that they’ve paid
’cause they’ve been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim
ha ha ha hahaha

lupe fiasco
so chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
’cause i’ve 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 mms are yellow
and the light bulbs around my mirror don’t flicker
everybody gets a nice autograph picture
one for you and one for your sister
who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
every song’s her favorite song and mics don’t feedback
all the reviewers say you need to go and see that
and everybody claps ’cause everybody is pleased
and then they all take the stage and start performing for me
like ha ha hahaha
ha ha hahaha ha
