The Emperor's Soundtrack

[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]
I told you I would show up, screaming out FNF
Till the world blow up, they said I was so finished
I told 'em its show business
Meaning it's no business, since Fiasco's in it
Disrespect the dress code, wear my street clothes in it
Measured, sold, and clothed in it
Opened up clothes, after I entered and drove in it, like unh

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
Only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And never fall asleep

[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco]
Roll in it, music bumping, windows tinted
Through the good neighborhoods and all of the wolves in it
Exerted control in it
Seen it come and go, selling they soul in it
Diamond and gold plated
Fountain of youth, dipping my toes in it
Bounced in the booth, spit it, like scolding it
Putting my heart and my soul in it
Cause

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
I only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And never fall asleep

[Bridge: Lupe Fiasco]
Once upon a time, not long ago
Where the pusherman creep, where they live life po'

[Verse #3: Lupe Fiasco]
With fifteen in the clip and one in the hole
Hallway wall, full of bricks, only some of us know
None of us know, the makers of the toast
Like the bottom of the stove, that was used in the murderin' of the scroll
Heart colder than Eddys
Won't let the seedy city defeat me
Rub me out like genies; won't concede 'til I'm graffiti
Nigga what

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
I only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And I will never sleep

[Verse #4: Lupe Fiasco]
(????) said what's up to the reaper
Hell met, like Riddell and, high water hello
To the five year old gunshot hearer, I hear ya
Clearer than the invisible man in the mirror
Cheer up, I'll put in on the bars like beer nuts
Put a bug in they ear, so from here up, they hear us

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
Then we only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And we will never sleep

[Bridge: Lupe Fiasco]
Once upon a time, not long ago
Where the pusherman creep, where they live life po'

[Verse #5: Lupe Fiasco]
I put it on my grandmama's daughter
I microphone control with the soul of slave humming "Wading in the Water"
I author, like D.W. brother, like a hustler
God place me in ya armor, I prescribe no partners
I do it for the hood like a parka
Would tell my niggas not to shiver
Only time we quiver like a archer is

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
Cause we only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And we will never sleep

[Verse #6: Lupe Fiasco]
Here we are now, entertain us
Change don't change us
Ever since the game trained us
We came up like worms in the rain
I dream, my chain became a loose noose, that was used to hang us
So now, my insane brain, my 32 teeth
And two feet, creep like its Elm Street
Cause

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
I only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And I will never sleep

[Bridge: Lupe Fiasco]
Once upon a time, not long ago
Where the pusherman creep, where they live life po'

  2. kind of a stretch, but i think this song is tied in with the Michael Young History saga.
