- Lupe Fiasco - Hip-Hop Saved My Life Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Dedicate, Dedicate
- This one right here, goes out
- To my homie with the drink, nah mean
- [Verse 1]
- He said, I write what I see
- Write to make it right, don't like where I be
- I'd like to make it light the sights on TV
- Quite the great life, so nice and easy
- See, now you can still die from that
- But it's better than not being alive from straps
- Agree, a Mead notebook and a bic that click when it's pushed in a wack ass beat
- That's a track that's weak, that he got last week
- 'cause everybody in the store's like that's that heat
- A bass heavy medley, with a sample from the 70s
- With a screwed up hook that went, "stack that cheese"
- Somethin' somethin' somethin' "stack that cheese"
- Mother, sister, cousin, "stack that cheese"
- He couldn't think of nothin' "stack that cheese"
- He turns down the beat, writer's block impedes
- Cryin' from the next room, a baby in need
- Of some Pampers and some food and place to sleep
- That, plus a black Cadillac on Ds
- Is what keep 'em on track to be a great emcee
- Yea [echoes]
- [Chorus]
- One you never heard of I
- Push it hard to further the
- Grind I feel like murder but
- Hip-Hop you saved me
- One you never heard of I
- Push it hard to further the
- Grind I feel like murder but (it's what it is)
- Hip-Hop you saved my life
- [Verse 2]
- Reps north side so he rocks them braids
- Eleven-hundred friends on his Myspace page
- Stack That Cheese got seven hundred plays
- Producer made him take it down, said he had to pay
- Open mic champ 2 weeks in a row
- Ex-D Boy with a b-boy flow, Glow like Leroy, you should see boy go
- Got a daddy servin' life and a brother on the Row
- Best homie in the grave, tatted up while in the cage
- Minute maid, got his momma workin' like a slave
- Down baby momma, who he really had to honor
- 'Cause she was his biggest fan, even let him use her Honda to
- Drive up to Dallas went to open up for amateurs
- Let him keep a debit card, so he could put gas in it
- Told her when he get on he gon' take her to the galleria
- Buy everything, but the mannequins, ya digg [echoes]
- [Chorus]
- One you never heard of I
- Push it hard to further the
- Grind I feel like murder but
- Hip-Hop you saved me
- One you never heard of I
- Push it hard to further the
- Grind I feel like murder but (but, but)
- Hip-Hop you saved my life
- [Verse 3]
- His man called said ya time might be now
- They played your freestyle over Wipe Me Down
- They played it 2 times say it might be crowned
- As the best thing out the H-town in a while
- He picked up his son with a great big smile
- Rapped every single word to the new born child
- Then he put him down and went back to the kitchen
- And put on another beat, and got back to the mission of
- Get his momma out the hood, put her somewhere in the woods
- Keep his lady lookin' good, have her rollin' like she should
- Show his homies there's a way, other than that flippin' yay
- Bail his homie outta jail, put a lawyer on his case
- Throw a concert for the school, show the shoulders that it's cool
- Throw some candy on the Caddy, chuck the deuce and act a fool
- Man it feels good when it happens like that
- Two days from going back to sellin' crack
- Yessir [echoes]
- [Chorus 2x]
- One you never heard of I
- Push it hard to further the
- Grind I feel like murder but
- Hip-Hop you saved me
- One you never heard of I
- Push it hard to further the
- Grind I feel like murder but
- Hip-Hop you saved my life
- Hip-Hop you saved my life (3x)
