Lu Myself

[Lupe Fiasco]

Lu myself, first of all accuse myself for being a fool

All attempts to school myself have failed

To improve means to remove myself

From this pool of sharks, dark as the mood I felt

I’m losing fuel, that’s all the food I refuse myself

That’s how you do when you do yourself

And if I lose, I could never excuse myself

Till I grow old, sit back and accrue my wealth

You don’t stand a chance, matter of fact, you don’t have half the stance

To stand if you stood half a chance

Like c-h-a to dance with this man from the C.H.A’s

Give it up, just abandon plan

Since you don’t have half the stance like an amputee

You don’t have half the pants that it takes

To command a family

The fan or command a fee

So you will never get the ransom you demand from me

The good news, my foot’s loose, my hands is free

So I dance all footloose and fancy free

Big Ups to footloose and all the fans of me

My fan base expands from Vans to Timberlands

From mansions to Section 8 campuses B

I’m they champion and I ain’t even SoundScanned it, see, I been lamping

Whipping up an answer to these rappers who got it backwards

Like zipping up their pants to pee

Like I’m just a rapper and I ain’t dapper

I'm frequently fly, I can go to France for free

But I ain’t no fan in base, cooking up grams of C

We in a wet stretching O’s like rubber bands to feed

But that was white boy 100 grand to key

When I’m posted up with this little punk ass chump cash advance

That they handing me, I came back with birds like Brandon Lee

I came back with words in a stanzas G

Told ya, right back like Stan, I'mma stand till it answers me

I’m concentrating man, I'm an oscillating fan

When they wanna shake hands with me, it sucks right now

Hear it through ya spirit just dampens B

Like damn that was my man, what the hell happened to he?

His fan base is disbanded B

‘Cause his lyrics don’t mirror when he first landed see

Don’t give into this land to please

So help me God, I'mma kill it, that’s my word

Remove this blindfold, just give us a chance to see

And I'mma quit it the minute it abandons me

My plan’s to be here for a minute

Then I’m finished, then I’m vamping G

Most these cats is pussies, pearl tongues, oysters and clams to me

Flintstone money can’t even stand being in their glances geez

They say it’s looking good, from my vantage B?

Shit is sinking like Atlantis B and I’m more set than Alanis

What, you ain’t understanding me? Am I speaking Spanish B?

Well adios holmes, am I getting sloppy Joe? Well what am I, a Manwich B?

I got a Big Mac if you want a sandwich G

Who else you know keep the Mickey D tucked

With the windy on his shoulder? I told ya, give it up dog, it’s over
