All Black Everything Lyrics Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco – All Black Everything Lyrics

[Hook]
You would never know
If you could ever be
If you never try
You would never see
Stayed in Africa
We ain’t never leave
So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn’t he
See I fell asleep and I had a dream, it was all black everything

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 1]
Uh, and we ain’t get exploited
White man ain’t feared so he did not destroy it
We ain’t work for free, see they had to employ it
Built it up together so we equally appointed
First 400 years, see we actually enjoyed it
Constitution written by the W.E.B. Du Bois
Were no reconstructions, Civil War got avoided
Little black Sambo grows up to be a lawyer
Extra extra on the news stands
Black woman voted head of Ku Klux Klan
Malcolm Little dies as a old man
Martin Luther King read the eulogy for him
Followed by Bill O’Reilly who read from the Quran
President Bush sends condolences from Iran
Where FOX News reports live
That Ahmadinejad wins Mandela peace prize

[Hook]
You would never know
If you could ever be
If you never try
You would never see
Stayed in Africa
We ain’t never leave
So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn’t he
See I fell asleep and I had a dream, it was all black everything

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 2]
Uh, and it ain’t no projects
Keepin it real is not an understood concept
Yea, complexion’s not a contest
Cause racism has no context
Hip hop ain’t got a section called conscious
Everybody rappin’ like crack never happened
Crips never occurred no Bloods to attack them
Matter of fact no hood to attack in
Somalia is a great place to relax in
Fred Astaire was the first to do a backspin
The Rat Pack was cool group of black men
That inspired five white guys called The Jacksons
Eminem fitted in but then again he inspired a black rapper tryin to mimic him
And that’s what really rose up out of Michigan, the sign of white rapper by the name of 50 Cent, ha!

[Hook]
You would never know
If you could ever be
If you never try
You would never see
Stayed in Africa
We ain’t never leave
So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn’t he
See I fell asleep and I had a dream, it was all black everything

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 3]
Uh, and I know it’s just a fantasy
I cordially invite you to ask why can’t it be?
Now we can do nothing bout the past
But we can do something about the future that we have
We can make fast or we can make it last
Every woman Queenin’ and every man a Kingin’
When those color lines come we can’t see between
We just close our eyes ’til it’s all black every-THING!

[Hook]
You would never know
If you could ever be
If you never try
You would never see
Stayed in Africa
We ain’t never leave
So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn’t he
See I fell asleep and I had a dream, it was all black everything

Lupe Fiasco - Solar Midnite Lyrics

Solar Midnite lyrics Lupe Fiasco

A simplified love sick taking no prisoners
Sunny day, cold heart-listen up listeners
Darkside love affair, out of time and in a rush
You canÂ't help me till the sunrise lifts up
LetÂ's levitate up over the horizon
I can see it in your eyes, everything youÂ're hiding
I can see the truth in you even when youÂ're lying
Even through the darkness, I can see you shining

When it's midnight and it's colder
Pull you closer, I can see you through
When it's sunshine and it's solar
And it's over, guess it's me and you
Blood (blood) by (by) sun (sun) light (light)

A played out love song playing in the background
Seems to describe every part of where weÂ're at now
Every feeling that we ever had for each other
Every karaoke love letter, lyrics undiscovered
Now your mother used to tell me you ainÂ't nothin' but some trouble
Now itÂ's a couple trouble makers making mayhem on the double
Tryin'a figure out the meaning and break apart the puzzles
Why they love you when I hate you when they hate the way I love you, solar(?)

When it's midnight and it's colder
Pull you closer, I can see you through
When it's sunshine and it's solar
And it's over, guess it's me and you.

When it's midnight and it's colder
Pull you closer, I can see you through
When it's sunshine and it's solar
And it's over, guess it's me and you
Blood by sun light.

A complicated heartbreak losing its direction
Cold day, warm heart, object of affection
My dark-side love affair come to my protection
Midnight's on the way IÂ'm losing my connection
Levitate up over the horizon
I can see it in your eyes, I know that youÂ're hiding
I can see the truth in you, even I know that youÂ're lying
Throw away the darkness, I wanna see you shining

When it's midnight and it's colder
Pull you closer, I can see you through
When it's sunshine and it's solar
And it's over, guess it's me and you.

When it's midnight and it's colder
Pull you closer, I can see you through
When it's sunshine and it's solar
And it's over, it's just me and you.

When it's midnight and it's colder (blood)
Pull you closer, I can see you through (by)
When it's sunshine and it's solar (sun)
And it's over, it's just me and you. (light)

When it's midnight and it's colder (blood)
Pull you closer, I can see you through (by)
When it's sunshine and it's solar (sun)
And it's over, it's just me and you. (light)
