I Gotcha' (feat. Pharrell Williams)

[Intro: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell]
Ho!
Uh, yessir!
Uh, yessir!
Lupe!
Chicago man!
Yeah! Man!
You know I have ya right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right


[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]
They call me Lupe, I'll be your new day
They wanna smell like me, they want my bouquet
But they can't, they accented like the UK
Turn that ude, Lupe, to Pepe Le Peu spray
Flagrantly fragrant and they can't escape it
My perfume pursued them everywhere that they went
You don't want a loan, leave my cologne alone
It's a little too strong for you to be putting on
Trust me, I say this justly
I went from musty to musky and y'all can't mush me
I warn y'all cornballs, I hush puppies
The swans in the pond called my duck ugly
But now they hug me, because it's lovely
They love the aroma of a roamer of the world
Got the shakers and the skaters and the players and the girls
Keep the fakers and the flakers and the haters in a twirl.


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell]
You want the flava ma, hey I gotcha
You want the realness, well I gotcha
I know you sick of them niggas' big car and watch, ya
Either they pimps or they macks or they mobsters
You want the real shit, well I gotcha
You see my niggas here, you know we proper
You know we do it right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
You know we do it


[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco]
And I'm from Chi-Town, that's where I flies 'round
Keep some Cartier frames over my eyes now
We used to gangbang a lot of that done died down
Children of the hat-tiltin' keepin hope alive now
All with no high, I do it so fly
Banksy's attack helicopter with the bow tie
I love my city, really hope that God bless it
Have my mind moving faster than that hog in the hedges
Welcome all of y'all to my dark recesses
This is where I keep the bars like bathtub edges
My Ivories and my Doves, my Levers and my Zests
It takes half of your bubble bath to match the freshness
The belly of the beast, you know I'm from it
I wrap it in a towel, here go my pal in its stomach
And I be on my green like Irish Spring, then I coast
Fudge wit it, get a mouth full of soap


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell]
You want the flava ma, hey I gotcha
You want the realness, well I gotcha
I know you sick of them niggas' big car and watch, ya
Either they pimps or they macks or they mobsters
You want the real shit, well I gotcha
You see my niggas here, you know we proper
You know we do it right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
You know we do it


[Verse #3: Lupe Fiasco]
And so to sign off, this beat I rhyme off
Is from Thelonious P and Hugo Mind Boss
You feel it in the air, it's such a fine force
But you don't hear me though, just like a mime's talk
That's cause I'm in Europe, me and my friends tour-a
I'm on my pimp, my temperature is Tempura
I take it easy, on my watch, I'm watchin TV
In my cleanest Maharishis, see the hare is trying to beat me
I continue to do Lu's pace
They say him got two heads and four eyes just like Screwface
But see my secret's safe, it's in my secret safe
That's in my secret room, on my secret base
So from the runner of the FNF crew
Come in hip hop, we've come to resurrect you
you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell]
You want the flava ma, hey I gotcha
You want the realness, well I gotcha
I know you sick of them niggas' big car and watch, ya
Either they pimps or they macks or they mobsters
You want the real shit, well I gotcha
You see my niggas here, you know we proper
You know we do it right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
You know we do it


[Outro]
Yessir, FNF U-P

  6. "The belly of the beast, you know I'm from it
    I wrap it in a towel, here go my pal in its stomach"

    I believe PAL should be replaced with PYLE. I am sure he is referring to Gomer Pyle from the movie Full Metal Jacket. There is the scene where they wrap soap in towels and beat him in the stomach with them.

  7. Also did anyone catch the Christmas Story movie reference "then I coast
    FUDGE wit it, get a mouth FULL OF SOAP".
    If you remember when the son said "oh Fudge" and when they got home his mom washed his mouth out with soap.
