I remember a friend putting me on to Lupe, but I didn’t listen until my Chicago trip, as I walled all over through the city.

Uh, what up ya’ll?
Yeah, soundtrack what’s poppin’ baby
Woo, ya’ll ain’t know
I go by the name of Lupe Fiasco
Representin’ that 1st &15
Gyeah, uh

And this one right here
I dedicate this one right here
To all my homies out there grindin’
Ya know what I’m saying?
Legally and illegally
Ha ha
You know what I’m talkin’ ’bout?
So, check it out, uh

First got it when he was six
Didn’t know any tricks
Matter fact, first time he got on it he slipped
Landed on his hip and bust his lip
For a week he had to talk with a lisp
Like this

Now we can end the story right here
But shorty didn’t quit, it was somethin’ in the air
Yeah, he said it was somethin’ so appealing
He couldn’t fight the feelin’
Somethin’ about it
