Lyrics Roc-A-Fella Y'all - Lupe Fiasco

Should've never gave them niggas no money
We was in the store be we ain't want nothing cuz
We was broke now a Nigga ain't frontin no more

Should've never gave them niggas no money
We was in the store be we ain't want nothing
Cuz we was po' now a Nigga ain't frontin no more

My mentalities a tapestry ain't it if I can paint it
It'd be too heavy to hang it from the nail in the wall
Dangerously dangling
Sick with the languages speaking pangolin down at the animal mall
He who answered the call the most cancelled rapper
Who rappin never happened to fall
Wanna subdue Lu like Max Verstappen
Take him off the track and lap him I see the devil clapping his claws
But this what happens after applause
If rappin was Blacked call this rappin from the back of a broad
This style of rappin is called pattern and pause
Still a one-man class action trapped in his cause

I'm a different type of Nigga fulfilled
Say the word Nigga is a trigger so chill
I'm like why keep Nigga concealed
It's white people still using the word Nigger for real
Never ignorant genuine genius appeals sincerely hearing it thrills
I'm from a lyrical miracle biblical guild
A great white clearing his gills the nearest mirror of skill
Somewhere between jazz, Jigga and drill
Minus all the niggas it kills
Right before they finish they wills
A healthy menace told the dentist
I eat Splenda, spinach and pills for life
Playing Ur with David Blaine on a commercial flight
First class rolling the dice
This for my chain
All donations are appreciated
I put the pen down but the location was abbreviated
To briefly state it that's briefly stayed with we still apart
But the split was so congenial it's like divorces was mediated
Drifted the genetics till it speciated
Put variables in my data set and then I deviated
It's miracles in the data set it's like dba as TD Jakes without a cpa
I used to CTA it Ferrari from that Harvey from this car seat
Can't believe he made it
Target hated felling like a Star of David where they GDK it
Independent thinker
I should CD Babe it feet covered in Tinkers
Promise to self no longer reference the Matrix
And stay away from fake shit
Cuz in a flash they'll turn on the click just like blinkers
These and other hazards are just part of the work
Reverse Aztec put my heart in a verse
The one man half Dash, Carter & Burke

Rock-a-fella y'all

Impediments, and the random egotistical elephant in the room
Looking for something heaven sent
Like its medicine in the moon
Or intelligence in the heaviness of a tune
How much ya song weigh?
30 pounds for every entendre
So the playlist will still be heavy as a spaceship on a spaceship
Even though its weightless
A bar full of plates so a waitress weighlifts
With every single entree
Contray to what the pawn say, swan slay with every convey
If words were rocks, birds in flocks
Stop that's not the chess of the experts
That's a straight rookie move
To get close to dos I feed em bread first
Jaded so denigrated and inundated
With every image that I was finished and in a status of ending stages
So I insulated into pages liberated my inner sages
Now the minutes from the meetings of my mind with my mind
Look a minister mixed Dennis the menace made it
Baited, beat it baked it and ate it
Graciously my engineer saved the most sacred of it in avid, moor
I can sell money to the poor
A pyramid to a mummy they even have to pay attention when they ignore
My compulsive indecision made addition into a chore
Is 2+2 Just 2 Two's Or is it 4
If I got a calculator what's the point of even keeping score
But that's not allowed when you tested
So I added it all up
They just trying to slow us down like instruments in texas
All proceeds to my necklace

Rock-a-fella y'all
Rock-a-fella y'all

Should've never gave them niggas no money
We was in the store be we ain't want nothing
Cuz we was broke now a Nigga ain't frontin no more
Should've never gave them niggas no money
We was in the store be we ain't want nothing
Cuz we was po' now a Nigga ain't frontin no more
