LUPE FIASCO lyrics : "ITAL (Roses)"

[Intro]
Black panther, black panther, what do you see?
I see a dream ITAL watching over me

Back ^!$$%
Yeah, hey, can we get a little break
From the cocaine and the kilos

Aiight ^!$$%, we know
Aiight ^!$$%, we know
Can we get a break from the strippers on the pill

Aiight ^!$$%, we know
Okay ^!$$%, we know


[Verse 1]
Hey shawty, ain't no future in no gang-bang
And ain't no manhood in no bang-bang

Ain't no honor cleanin' interstates inside a chain-gang
Know some rap ^!$$%s put that %#@! inside your mainframe
Pills make you stupid and liquor do the same thing

Raris' too expensive and they way too hard to maintain
Get yourself a Camri, ^!$$% said a Camri?
Watch that ho depreciate and then you'll understand me

It's called being fiscally responsible
Don't let these lying images up in hip-hop here conquer you
The TV's not your father fool, that video's not your momma

Try your best to be a man and your worst to be a monster

[Hook]

May we have some roses for the ladies
A little appreciation for the gentlemen
And here's some kisses for the babies

Some peace and ? for the whole wide-wide-wide world
More patience to the youth, sympathy for the poor
Empathy for the old, more justice for the down and pressed

Treat no liar ITAL ?

[Verse 2]

I know you're sayin', ?Lupe rappin' 'bout the same %#@!?
Well, that's 'cause ain't %#@! changed, (*##$
And please don't excuse my language

Cause I would hate for you to misrepresent
The true expression of my anguish
And by this far I ain't shocked, upset, or appalled

I'm ashamed, (*##$
I can't listen if you ain't sayin' %#@!
And recognize all this emptiness is dangerous

Ain't buildin' up they confidence, we teachin' 'em that they ain't %#@!
If they ain't got the latest that they saw on someone famous
Mercy of the Lord on this double-edged sword

Instead of askin' where the hoes is
Maybe maybe we could ask for roses


[Hook] x2

[Verse 3]

Called the president a terrorist
Corporate sponsors like, how the $#&@ you gon' embarrass us?
Ain't my fault, I was just repeatin' this

Profess of a ? from America
But my tone was like an Afghani kid without a home
Blew that (*##$ up with a drone

An Iraqi with no daddy, Palestinian throwing stones
The $#&@ you think they call him, I'mma leave that all alone
Cause this, the focus on this new %#@! is that hopeless

Place that I was born into systematic brokeness
Put that down, ? and developed into dopeness
It's that great American rap-rap ferocious


[Hook]
