《Audubon Ballroom》歌词

[00:00:00] Artist: Lupe Fiasco

[00:00:06] Title: Audubon Ballroom

[00:00:26] God is great

[00:00:34] Ghettos America U S to the izzay

[00:00:38] Killa in the citywide sprizzay

[00:00:41] Where there's sunshine in the shizzade

[00:00:43] Church won't pull him out the pin like a grenade

[00:00:46] For acting out their fears like a charade

[00:00:49] 'Til they blackin' out their tears like it's lights out

[00:00:52] Bring em out the black like a lighthouse

[00:00:55] And wave to em before they wiped out

[00:00:58] Lifesaver threw em hope they catch it

[00:01:00] But it's so Titanic to be iced out

[00:01:04] That's just scratching the surface like triple axels

[00:01:06] Want to roll around that Bentley like Crystal Castles

[00:01:10] In addition to the chain

[00:01:12] That's just to take the attention from the pain

[00:01:15] Or is it the mission of the man

[00:01:17] Audubon Ballroom Motel Lorraine

[00:01:20] Now white people they can't say ni**a

[00:01:27] So I gotta take it back

[00:01:31] Now black people we're not niggas

[00:01:38] God made us better than that

[00:01:43] No break ah wait

[00:01:44] Little mayhem for your All-State nay ham all steak

[00:01:48] Get a good ball great like a golf grade

[00:01:50] Make the ball break

[00:01:51] Just one swing no putting

[00:01:54] That's how I try 'n does things always

[00:01:56] Especially when your past is

[00:01:58] Martin Baldwin Audubon Ballroom

[00:02:01] Turn the glass ceiling to a glass floor

[00:02:03] Make a trampoline out of trapdoor

[00:02:06] On that gasoline when I was back poor

[00:02:09] Now they crafted out my dream underneath a tap floor

[00:02:12] Backpack battle-cat underground rap lore

[00:02:14] Anonymous but dominant - what's a Mac to a hacker

[00:02:17] In other words lyrical Zuckerbergs

[00:02:20] Pimp you may move a mouse but what's a rat to a cat store

[00:02:23] It's like a gig to an app store

[00:02:25] I rap Black history you can only see my past if you fast forward

[00:02:29] Now white people they can't say ni**a

[00:02:35] So I gotta take it back

[00:02:40] Now black people we're not niggas

[00:02:47] God made us better than that

[00:02:52] Black Panthers black anthems black blues

[00:02:55] With black answers for black stanzas: Langston Hughes

[00:02:58] Breaking rules ain't it cool

[00:03:01] Took it old and made it new

[00:03:03] Black painters musical black anger

[00:03:06] Black mothers beautiful black anchors

[00:03:09] So let's hear it for 'em Let's hear it for 'em

[00:03:12] Let's hear it for 'em Let's hear it for 'em

[00:03:15] Black America Trap America

[00:03:17] 80s Babies Crack America

[00:03:20] Rap America Bad as Erykah

[00:03:23] From the era of family tearing up

[00:03:26] But we just won big can't be undid

[00:03:29] Form a whole culture in just one kid

[00:03:32] Miami d**e boys Oakland militants

[00:03:35] Harlem Renaissance it's our deliverance

[00:03:37] Now white people they can't say ni**a

[00:03:44] So I gotta take it back

[00:03:48] Now black people we're not niggas

[00:03:55] God made us better than that

[00:04:06] -End-
