The Show Goes On

"The Show Goes On" Lyrics by Lupe Fiasco

LA-SER

Kane is in the building, nigga

[2x]

Alright

Already the show goes on all night

‘Til the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

Have you ever had the feeling

That you was being had

Don’t that shit that make you mad

They treat you like a slave

With chains all on your soul

And put whips up on your back

They be lying through they teeth

Hope you slip up off your path

I don’t switch up I just laugh

Put my kicks up on they desk

Unaffected by their threats

Then get busy on they ass

See that’s how that Chi-Town made me

That’s how my daddy raised me

That glittering may not be gold

Don’t let nobody play me

If you are my homeboy

You never have to pay me

Go on and put your hands up

When times is hard you stand up

L-U-P the man

‘Cause the brand

That the fans trust

So even if they ban us

They’ll never slow my plans up!

[2x]

Alright

Already the show goes on all night

‘Til the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

One in the air for the people ain’t here

Two in the air for the father that’s there

Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto

Four for the kids that don’t wanna be there

None for the niggas tryna to hold them back

Five in the air for the teacher not scared

To tell those kids that’s living in the ghetto

That the niggas holding back that the world is theirs!

Yeah, yeah, the world is yours

I was once that little boy

Terrified of the world

Now I’m on a world tour

I would give up everything

Even start a world war

For these ghetto girls and boys I’m rapping ’round the world for!

Africa to New York

Haiti then I detour

Oakland out to Auckland

Gaza Strip to Detroit

Say hip-hop only destroy

Tell ’em look at me, boy!

I hope your son don’t have a gun

And never be a D-boy

[2x]

Alright

Already the show goes on all night

‘Til the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

So no matter what you’ve been through

No matter what you’re into

No matter what you see

When you look outside your window

Brown grass or green grass

Picket fence or barbed wire

Never ever put them down

You just lift your arms higher

Raise ’em ’til your arms tired

Let ’em know you’re here

That you’re struggling survivin’

That you gon’ persevere

Yeah, ain’t nobody leaving

Nobody goin’ home

Even if they turn the lights out

The show is goin’ on!

[2x]

Alright

Already the show goes on all night

‘Til the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!
