Lupe Fiasco - Hip Hop Saved my Life Cover

Performed at the Black Cultural Center Coffee House

Originally Written September 2009

It's like a life in 4D.
Tried to draw the art
but that's out of my league.
I'd like to make it like the sites on TV.
Got a blank sig, still have no I.D.

Be, something that I'm proud to be
Not a superficial entity out for greed.
Believe, money comes fast and it's quick like spent
in the streets all night and daily.

That's a path that's weak and a goal that's bleak.
They all geeked! I'd rather be that geek.
A chick with the melody, and a voice thats heavenly
with the mentality, to make money.
Wake up in the morning (Make money!)
Do it right or wrong? (Got to think!)
Throw my life away? Man it's not that deep.
Got a lot on my plate but I'm still hungry.

Writing what's in my head keeps giving me creed.
Then they all buy my album and they go repeat
back to the pen and pad then see.
The people in the street now Identify me.

Blondie
