Shining Down

"Shining Down" Lyrics by Lupe Fiasco

[Matthew Santos:]

Look up in the sky [3x]

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn’t around

That I left you alone

But look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I’m everywhere everywhere

Shining down on you

[Lupe Fiasco:]

Well, well

Is that our little author?

Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered

Your attention

Put back on the flow like the department of water

Taking off with the dough like little Walter

Chess? Yes. Baby I’m Jerry Lawler

Rebel with a cause, outlaw with the lawyer

Judge jury like a loop, rap name Lupe

But my daddy named me Warrior

This is his memorial, shoot

[Matthew Santos:]

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn’t around

That I left you alone

But look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I’m everywhere everywhere

Shining down on you

[Lupe Fiasco:]

No, I ain’t that nigga trying

To get a liquor line

When I be scripting lines

Want this petition signed

It says I’m sick of dying

Sick of this prison time

I really love my people

I’m sick of pimping mine

Now if we Auto-Tune that shit

We can hear the songs from that opera groomed fat bitch

Telling us not to pursue it, just to shoe it like a blacksmith

We’re trapped, and moving round in circles like it’s chapstick

And that’s the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with

We’ll wrap this around your head, like the bandannas Fabolous used to wrap his hats with

Rather be in F.E.D.S. instead of National Geographics

Well I’m not having it, naw

[Matthew Santos:]

you thought I was down

you thought I was gone

Thought I wasn’t around

That I left you alone

Well look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I’m everywhere everywhere

Shining down on you

[Lupe Fiasco:]

So, I say hello and this is for the third time

To everybody out there who ain’t never heard mine

And if you have, then you know you ain’t never heard lying

Lu don’t move. No cowards, you only heard/herd lines/lions

Not a facade cherisher, I’d rather have the scars

I don’t idolize America, I’m dancing with the stars

Uh huh. All of them? Yeah, they are, too

You look up and you see us shining down on you

[Matthew Santos:]

You thought I was down

You thought I was gone

Thought I wasn’t around

That I left you alone

But look up in the sky

Just look up in the sky

See that I’m everywhere everywhere

Shining down on you

Shining down on you [3x]
