State Run Radio (Feat. Matt Matthews) Lyrics


You must be, a radio station
And who are we, we must be
The number one songs, spinning all day longAnd over again,
And over again,
And over again,
And never again,
And never again
And we know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio

State run radioWe now interrupt this broadcast,
To bring you this special message about the forecast,
The futures cloudy and it's raining on the poor class,
The roads to peace are closed, heavy traffic's on the war paths,
Love is balling on a budget,
The military's says its going to need more cash
To keep fighting for your gas
Keep us in our hoods and hope we never explore pass,
Stay inside of your half, believe the lies you learn in your class,
That there's no treasure in your trash and the ceiling has the same feeling,
That the floor has, and that's where you should stay,
This is what they playAnd over again,
And over again,
And never again,
And never again,
And never again
And we know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radioYou're now tuned into the weakest,
Frequency of fear, keep you locked right here,
And hope you never leave this, never be a leader,
Think inside the box, and follow all procedures,
Never ever believe that, you will never need this,
Hit up all your friends and tell them to repeat this,
Hi, your on the air, now what you want to hear?
Well we ain't got the truth, but how about a remix,
Different is never good, good is only what we pick,
You ain't got a hit, unless it sounds like these did,
Not too smart you will be a superstar,
And if you dumb or something maybe you could be number oneAnd over again,
And over again,
And over again,
And never again,
And over again
And you know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radioSo beware what's on the airwaves
And be more aware of what's not getting airplay
Independent spirit, you can barely hear what they're saying
Truth ain't getting on like shampoo on an airplane
Propaganda's everywhere, constantly on replay
All the hits, all the time, back-to-back on relay
We're really where it lives,
Make them hear the records we play
Build your own station, become your own DJ'sYou must be, a radio station
And who are we, we must be
The number one songs, spinning all day long
And you put me on daily rotation
You're on the air, we know you're scared
But we don't care, we'll play this hereAnd over again,
And over again,
And over again,
And never again,
And over again
And you know when,
When we call in,
And nothings free,
Sounds to me like,
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio
State run radio

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.
