LightWork (feat. Ellie Goulding, Bassnectar)

[Hook: Ellie Goulding]

I had a way then

Losing it all on my own

I had a heart then

But the queen has been overthrown

And I'm not sleeping now

The dark is too hard to beat

And I'm not keeping up

The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone[Verse 1 - Lupe Fiasco]

So, what are you going to stand for?

Dreads in the sky, I and I

2 new Vans on a land for

Take that back, make that 2 new shoes on the van floor

Me and my band out on that road

On a never-back-down-from-my-stance tour

Touch more souls than a dance floor

While they touch less floors than a hand or

Ceiling fan or - wait, let me tell ya slower

Lift my fans up to the ceiling

And you'll never touch the floor

Now if Noah need a rower

I'll be there with my oar

Til we get back to the shore

Dad made me a soldier

GI Joe to these Cobras

Tryna FBI my Panther

CIA my Sankofa

Infiltrate my Carter

Illuminate my culture

While they watching through that buckle

But I stay up on my hustle

Turn that belt back on they self

Now I watch them scream for help

Like Africa need aid, or black women as maids

Uncover undercovers turn those maids to Bubba's mothers

Take the hero out the Nino

Keep it real as trouble trouble huh?

Or maybe cartoon Martin on The Boondocks

Flip the script on chicks who think their shit smells like perfume shops

Help them girls find beauty

Without a magazine or movie

She Delilah with them .45s and Keisha with that Uzi

Now I know that's contradiction

Wants and needs in competition but

It's hard to stay on point with such extremes in opposition

While we waiting on that compromise

Proceed with that conscious eye

New gang alert: hashtag occupies

Repper 'til the death of it

FnF, what's left of me

All my hate is for the fake recipes for wrestling

Only time I wrestle's when I'm wrestling with settling

Only way I settle if we wrestle over everything

I know that don't mix like ecstasy and ketamine

Funny how I'm only sick if you never catch a thing

Argue with your friends over what really the record means

Back and forth about its course, with professor's refereeing

Why he so rebellious? Up-front with his realness?

They wanna be fiascoes, reproduce his failures

Emperor is his alias, but not Marcus Aurelius

This is more like Sparta: kick you down a well, kid

And on my last check, I copped the NSX, just like Pharrell did

Well did, better doings to come

My only promise is I'll never ruin the young

I'll never human the sung lyrics in a spirit that's

Superhuman to some, keep you pursuing the sum of

Slums, plus, get up out of them, plus, never forget

Just where you from, plus

Make sure you ballin' when you come back up in them, plus

We don't die, multiply, every single come-up

Rum-pum-pum-pum..
