Intro Lyrics


Food and liquor stores rest on every corner
From 45th and State to the last standin hymn Nuhana
J&J's, pale chicken, good finger lickin
While they sin, gin, sin, sin at Rothschild and Lynnwood LiquorsThe winos crooked stagger meets the high stride of the youth
Searchin for the truth
They rebel and raise hell across alleyways
And in classroom settingsThey get high off that drum bass and 20/20 rims
They rock braids, Air Force Ones and Timbs
They drink Hennessy, Hypnotiq and 40's
They call they women hoes, bust downs and shawtiesThey keep funeral homes in business
And gunshot wards of hospitals full
Prisons packed, bubblin over in brown sugar
They keep empty, Westside lots crowded, hype's powderedThe well is runnin dry, the days of Malcolm and Martin have ended
Our hope has descended and us to the side
Waitin for the re-installment of the revolution
Because we are dyin at the cost of our own pollutionBut God has another solution that has evolved from the hood
I present the one who turns, the Fiasco to goodA'uzu billahi min ash shaitani r rajimi
Bismi 'llahi 'r-rahmani 'r-rahim

Its dedicated to my grandmother
Peace and much love to youYeah, and it start
1st and 15 proudly present, you know what it is
See I got this philosophy right
I think the world and everything in it is made up of a mix of two thingsYou got your good, you know and your bad
You got your food and your liquor, that's right, chilly chill
You already know, it's a long time cominI give you my, I give you my heart, my soul
My mind, my thoughts, my feelings, my experience
Nothin more, and nothin less
Yes, FNF, uh huh, so with no further adieu
Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is a Grammy Award-winning American hip-hop artist and producer. He first became known to the mainstream hip-hop community in 2005 when he appeared on Kanye West's album Late Registration on the track "Touch the Sky." In 2006 Lupe released his debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor on Atlantic Records, and in December 2007 he released his second full length album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. His next studio album, entitled Lasers, was released on March 8th 2011 after a protest against Atlantic's decision not to release it.

The Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free) Songfacts reports that Fiasco’s first single off his fourth studio album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 debuted on May 21, 2012. On "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)," he spits rhymes about aspects of modern American life he doesn’t like such as "Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models, with cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils” as well as socio-political problems in Ghana and the invasion of Iraq.

Lupe has previously been on label Epic with his group Da Pak and then signed a solo deal with Arista. His years at Arista only led to the 2003 promo single "Pop Pop" as well as guest appearances on singles from Tha' Rayne (2002's "Kiss Me" and 2003's "Didn't You Know") and K Fox (2003's "This Life"), then Arista folded in 2004 and Lupe was signed to Atlantic Records.
