Hip-Hop Saved My Life

"Hip-Hop Saved My Life" Lyrics by Lupe Fiasco

Dedicate, dedicate.

One time, one, two, one, two, and one, two.

Uh this one right here goes out to my homie with the dream.

Know what I mean.

He said I write what I see

Write to make it right

Don’t like where I be

I’d like to make it like

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

Agreed

A mead notebook and a Bic that click

When it’s pushed and a wack ass beat

That’s a track that’s weak

That he got last week

‘Cause everybody in the store

Was 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

Something something something

Stack that cheese

Mother sister cousin

Stack that cheese

He couldn’t think of nothing

Stack that cheese

He turns down the beat writers block impedes

Crying from the next room a baby in need

Of some pampers and some food and a place to sleep

That plus a black Cadillac on Ds

Is what keep him on track to be a great MC

[Nikki Jean:]

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind I feel like murder, but

Hip-hop, you saved me.

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind I feel like murder, but

That’s what it is.

Hip-hop, you saved my life.

Reps Northside 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 two weeks in a row

Ex-D-boy with a B-boy flow

Glow like Leroy, you should see boy go

Got a daddy serving life and a brother on The Row

Best homie in the grave

Tattered up while in the cage

Minutemaid got his momma working like a slave

Down baby momma who he really had to honor

‘Cause she was his biggest fan

Even let him use the Honda to

Drive up to Dallas went to open up for amateurs

Let him keep her debit card

So he could put gas in it

Told her when he get on

He gon’ take her to the gallery

And buy everything but the mannequins you dig

[Nikki Jean:]

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind. I feel like murder but

Hip-hop, you saved me.

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind. I feel like murder but

But, but

Hip-hop, you saved my life.

His man called said “your time might be now”

They played your freestlye over “Wipe Me Down”

They played it two times

Said 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 newborn child

Then he put ’em down and went back to the kitchen

And put on another beat and got back to the mission

To get his momma out the ‘hood

Put her somewhere in the woods

Keep his lady looking good

Have her rolling like she should

Show his homies there’s a way

Other than that flipping yay

Bail his homie outta jail

Put a lawyer on his case

Throw a concert for the school

Show the shorties that it’s cool

Throw some candy on the cadi

Chuck the deuce and act a fool

Man, it feels good when it happens like that

Two days from going back to selling crack,

Yes, sir

[Nikki Jean:]

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind. I feel like murder, but

Hip-hop, you saved me.

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind. I feel like murder, but

Hip-hop, you saved my life.

One you’ve never heard of, I

Push it hard to further the

Grind. I feel like murder, but

Hip-hop, you saved me.

One you’ve 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.

Hip-hop, you saved my life.

Hip-hop, you saved my life.

Hip-hop, you saved my life.
