LUPE FIASCO lyrics : "hip hop saved my life"

dedicate dedicate, hu
this one right here, goes out
to my homie with a dream, naw mean


He said, I write what i see
write to make it right don't like where i be

i'd like to make it like the sites on TV
quite the great life so nice and easy.
see, now you can still die from that

but it's better than not being alive from straps, agreed.
A Mead notebook and a Bic that clicked
when it's pushed in a wack $$# beat.

thats a track that's week that he got last week
cause everybody in the Stu was like thats that heat.
A bass heavy melody with a sample from the 70's

with a screwed up hook that went "Stack that cheese".
something, something, something "stack that cheese"



mother, sister, cousin "Stack that cheese"
he couldn't think of nothing "Stack that cheese"

he turns down the beat writers block empties
crying from the next room a baby in need
of some pampers and some food and a place to sleep

that plus a black cadillac on D's
is what keeps them on track to be a great M.C.
yea yea (echoes)


one you've never heard of, I
push it harder further, but

now i feel like murder but
hip hop it saved me
one you've never heard of, I

push it harder further, but
now i feel like murder but
hip hop it saved my life


Reps Northside so he rocks them braids
Eleven hundred friends on his myspace page

Stack that cheese got seven hundred plays
Producer made him take it down
Said he had to pay

Open mic champ 2 weeks in a row
Ex dboy with a bboy flow
Glow like Leroy you should see boy go

Got a daddy serving life and a brother on The Row
Best homie in the grave
Tatted up while in the cage

Minutemaid got his momma working like a slave
Down baby momma who he really had to honor
'cause she was his biggest fan

Even let him use the Honda
Drive up to Dallas went to open up for amateurs
Let him keep her debit card

So he could put gas in it
Told her when he get on
He's gonna take her to the Galleria

Buy up everything but the mannequins you dig

[Chorus (Nikki Jean) 2x]


His man called said "your time might be now"
They played your freestlye over "Wipe me down"

They played it two times
Said it might be crowned
As the best thing out the H-TOWN in a while

He picked up his son with a great big smile
Rapped every single word to the newborn child
Then he put 'em down and went back to the kitchen

Put on another beat and got back to the mission
Of get his momma out the hood
Put her somewhere in the woods

Keep his lady looking good
Have her rolling like she should
Show his homies it's a way

Other than that flipping Yay
Bail his homie outta jail
Put a lawyer on his case
Throw a concert for the school
Show this that's it cool

Throw some candy on the caddy
Chuck the duece and act a fool
Man it feels good when it happens like that
Two days from goin back to selling crack, yes sir


[Chorus (Nikki Jean) 2x]

Hip hope has saved my life [4X]
