[Verse 1]
First off say peace to Pine Ridge
Shame at all the damage the white man wine did
Ghost dance, Trail of Tears, 5 million beers a year
And all that other crime did
More peace to the teachers of blind kids
To rebels in small cells keeping their mind big
Say everything's hostile
Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models
With cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils, they got to
Around My Way

God is good!
Ghettos, America. U.S. to the izzay
Killa in the citywide sprizzay
Where there's sunshine in the shizzade
Church won't pull him out the pan like a cremate
For acting out their fears like a charade
Til they blackin out their tears like it's lights out
Bring em out the black like a lighthouse
And wave to em before they wiped out
Lifesave, threw em, hope they catch it

The wound heals but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
You're at war with love, yeah
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
Never let a wound ruin me
Battle Scars

At my brother's Jannaza
Tears stained sunglassses
A Salat with no bows
Pallbearer carry you to the car now
Chill day, Mosque on 96 and 3rd
New York City way, me and J never left my side
Refs like that pitcher with your pride
Who look just like..
Now the city looks lest bright
Brooklyn looking less special
Cold War

[Intro]
I'mma just go... And then we'll figure it out from there
They say form follows function
And if you just function properly things will form themselves
So on that note... America's most
[Verse 1]
First off gotta send shout outs to my niggas
Then shout outs to my inner demon that be creepin' around my temple
Ready to set me off like Vivica or make me cross like a crucifix
Form Follows Function

I'm a heart donor, I'm a heart donor
Everything I got, I give it all to you
My heart and my soul, I give it all to you
Cause I'm a heart donor
I'm just a conduit
To keep you calm through it
So you respond lucid
The man you love foolish
When it's gone, stupid
Heart Donor

[Hook]
You shine like the lights of Las Vegas
You feel radiant and outrageous
You're confident?
How dare you?
You don't do me like that
I got my eyes on like the fire zone
Let's be bygones
Won't you come and be a line in one of my songs?
Maybe a whole verse, maybe the whole Earth my home
How Dare You

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
With her eyes to the ceiling and a needle to her brain
She looks back into the crowd, wipes the blood and then explains
How she slipped from this existence to the realm of the deranged
Her becoming must be halted to reverse what she became
From the looseness of her tongue, to the pollution of her aims
To do nothing is barbaric, the solution is humane
You must destroy the mind and hopefully retrain
You torture out the wildness, then replace it with the tame
Blank slate when she recovers, she won't even know her name

Put one in the air (heir) like the king's son
For the heir to the kingdom
That means I'mma be the king once the king done
If he don't wanna leave then I might have to guillotine him
I sing some but I (w)rap a lot like the king's son
Microphone checker all across the board you should king him
Diamond mine my mind make princesses like king come (cum)
Every second worth of thinking
Is enough to fill three rings like ring lungs?
That's how I kept it on the air is like a re-run
Put Em Up

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Now I can’t pledge allegiance to your flag
Cause I can’t find no reconciliation with your past
When there was nothing equal for my people in your math
You forced us in the ghetto and then you took our dads
The belly of the beast, these streets are demons’ abs
I’m telling you that setup in them sit-ups is so sad
The system is a slab
Corruption is the swinger sittin’ high ridin’ dirty, drag racin’ into
danger
Strange Fruition

[Hook]
This world, my heart, my soul
Things that I don't know
The icicles they grow
They never let me go
Scars are left as proof
But tears they soak on through
Things I've done
My young
My unforgivable youth
Unforgivable Youth
