Lupe Fiasco sizzles with new track "Fire" sampling the Jimi Hendrix classic

i was bout as uncool as a nieces mothers biggest brother

but now its all butter

now i'm bout as uncool as some cover to a pool from a puddle

like a monsoon but subtler

slowly pull up my pants or sag it to a flooder

now u need a submarine the way im cuffin my jeans

like i'm arresting my dress code

the dress clothes and the dress toes 

so lets roll

ghetto lambda lambda's how i address those

niggas might peep and think geek

but you need that when you knee deep goin on wayside

get up to your neck just like a great tie

i finally got the windsor, like on my eighth try

your shirts still soakin wet, your slacks ain't dry

and i have yet to even fall from the sky

i'm hotter than red with a head full of lye

better run and get spike, tell him i'm on fire

hell, i don't wanna see ya like a male stripper

as you picture yourself lookin at pictures of male strippers

thats how that i don't wanna go to hell nigga

wish ya well like a wishin well wisher wish itself

it fell at first so now i sail with ya

if it happen to sink, i pitch in with pales

and pitchers, bucket and cup it back to the river

then cover the leak with garbage pail kid stickers

{dynamite} and first aid the way ya saviors

now ya flow look like my bedroom door when i was four

no rockin that boat, or you be swimmin, fo sho

oh, i stay ship shape all aboard

thats just how i roll, when i try and keep the run afloat

hatins a disease and its deadly if you catch it

crabs in the bucket always tryna pull me backwards

position rarely change so they dont really matter

if not the same then similar like asher and mathers

bow

bully or i bogard, bodacious so i'm humphrey

i used to rubber band, but now i got a bungee

if you let me expand, that refers to the money

gucci's all good, chanel is all chummy

and that aint even for me, my honey and my mommy

i'd rather be bummy, nappy on top

cipriani in my tummy, the fade is for the fans

not even for my fans, its more for like the brand

whether you hear the word, or just a show of hands

the sign language lady who be translatin my jams

you really like the beats or you barely understand

why i throw my set up wherever i am

man, its cuz i love my town

my mind was a sponge, but now its sham-wow

i never throw in the towel so just wipe me down

but don't you get to close they might have to put you out
