Artist: Lupe Fiasco Album: Lasers Song: Till I Get There Typed by: PDog1217@aol.com [Verse 1 - Lupe Fiasco] Album on hold, whole world on hold The crowd is like "HO!" (ho!), operator's like "hold" (please hold) Man, now ain't that cold? I'm just tryin to talk to my homie that's up in the hole And homegirl not tryin to be a ho, even though she on a pole Can she get a second chance? No! (no!) Whoa, like the opposite of go That ain't how it's supposed to be/bee or butterfly But for the sake of rhymin, let's just say butterfly-ey The truth stings like Muhammad Ali (*bell rings*) I tell 'em, tell 'em don't homicide me I'm just a little old hope with his back against the ropes Fightin for his fans and fightin for his folks But the boos from the crowd can become so loud If I can block 'em out then, I could knock 'em out and (oh, oh) Dance around the ring but until then I'll sing [Chorus - Lupe Fiasco] I'm a keep it cool and I'm a do me It is what it is and it's how it's gon' be Until I get there, 'til I get there And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it When I get there, when I get there, whoa-oa [Verse 2 - Lupe Fiasco] Doctor, doctor please, the fame ain't painless enough That's 'cause you ain't famous enough You got a little game but your name ain't ringin enough He said take two of these, put some change in my cup I said "I wasn't poor," he gave me some more Prescribed me a publicist and pointed to the door Out, ouch, I'm tellin you this all from a therapist's couch Tell me about your mother, what she's all about Prescribed me a interview and then told me to bounce Damn, jeez, the world is so cold, I'm glad I bought these skis Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees Rendered unconscious, they rushed me to a concert Instead of green jello and maybe chicken soup (oh, oh) They fed me magazine covers and video shoots [Chorus] [Verse 3 - Lupe Fiasco] And when I finally make it, I'm a stunt so hard Evil/Evel as Knievel, I'm a jump so far Way up in the atmosphere, I ain't comin back Be a jerk to them jerks, yeah that'll make 'em hurt Huh? Said a young boy in the mirror A young version of me, so I started to tear up He said "you need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up You're already here, just be yourself from here up" Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar Something I was taught, something I had lost If you are afraid or fear that you gon' change some (oh, oh) All you gotta do is just remember where you came from [Chorus]
