Shining Down (featuring Matthew Santos) Lyrics


Look up in the sky
Look up in the sky
Look up in the skyYou thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn't around
That I left you aloneWell, look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on youWell, well, is that our little author?
Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered
Your attention put back on the flow like the department of water
Taken off of the dough like Little Walter, ChessYes, baby I'm Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause, outlaw with a lawyer
Judge, jury like Alou, rap name Lupe
But my daddy named me warrior, this is his memorialYou thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn't around
That I left you aloneWell, look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky
See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on youNo, I ain't the nigga trying to get a liquor line
When I be scrippin' lines, want this petition sign
It says I'm sick of dyin', sick of this prison time
I really love my people, I'm sick of pimpin' mineNow, if we Auto-Tune that shit
We can hear the songs from that opera-groomed fat bitch
Tellin' us not to pursue it, just to shoo it like a blacksmith
We're trapped, and movin' round in circles like it's ChapstickAnd that's the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with
Well, wrap this around your head like the bandanas
Fabolous used to wrap his hats with, rather be in feds
Instead of National Geographics, well I'm not havin' it, noYou thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn't around
That I left you aloneWell, look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on youSo I say hello and this is for the third time
To everybody out there who ain't never heard mine
And if you have then you know you ain't ever heard lyin'
Lu don't moo, no cowards, you only heard linesNot a facade cherisher, I'd rather have the scars
I don't idolize America, I'm dancing with the stars
Uh huh, all of them, yeah they are too
You look up and you see us shining down on youYou thought I was down
You thought I was gone
Thought I wasn't around
That I left you aloneWell, look up in the sky
Just look up in the sky
See that I'm everywhere, everywhere
Shining down on you

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.
