Haile Selassie
3
High, high as the eyelids of osprey
4
I'm driving
5
Poseidon your trident can't stop me, from diving
6
Lookin' for my
7
Lookin' for my
8
Lookin' for my
9
As I float
10
Brand new shell for my ghost
11
Tattoos all on my coast
12
[Interlude 1: Lupe Fiasco]
13
Throughout history
14
It has been the inaction of those who could have acted
15
The indifference of those who should have known better
16
The silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most
17
This, has made it possible for evil to triumph
18
Selassie
19
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
20
Man's limitation, transfiguration
21
I can dance done [?] welcome to the demo
22
Modern man comes to the weddin' in the limo
23
Mixin' doves with the rice rain
24
Uncle Ben's off the rails on the night train
25
And that storm took us to the platform, pushas
26
Back to the bachelor's backdoor, unhook us
27
Hope this track take you back to where the fat girl pushed us
28
And that's very old like Blackberry Bold but the juice [?]
29
Sweeter than where the party at, or
30
Releasing these niggas from the rooms, and
31
Leavin' these niggas on the loose, or
32
Keepin' these niggas in the coops, and
33
Leavin' these niggas on the noose, free!
34
Shamu fan got a world to see!
35
[Hook: Nikki Jean]
36
Haile Selassie
37
High, high as the eyelids of osprey
38
I'm driving
39
Poseidon your trident can't stop me, from diving
40
Lookin' for my
41
Lookin' for my
42
Lookin' for my
43
As I float
44
Brand new shell for my ghost
45
Tattoos all on my coast
46
[Interlude 2: Lupe Fiasco]
47
Then until the philosophy which holds one race superior
48
And another inferior
49
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
50
That until there no longer
51
First class and second class citizens of any nation
52
Until the color of a man's skin
53
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
54
Selassie
55
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
56
To the limit
57
The limit in the Methadone clinic
58
Ridin' with the pack like a Pelitan
59
Flyin' with the sack in the trap like the pregnant
60
As it breaks in the backs from the cracks that we step upon
61
If I triple my worth will it cripple my mom?
62
If I simple my search will it mental my calm?
63
Will it hurt if I give you my palm?
64
To tell [?] and don't put a nail in it
65
How you gonna see the world if you wailin'
66
And readin' my palms like there's braille in it
67
Is it the trail or the forest?
68
Or the forest with the trail in it?
69
That's a sail with a 12 in it
70
Water coming through from impalin' it
71
Nothin' left of the boat but my?[]
72
Still I fill up the world and I float, like
73
[Hook: Nikki Jean]
74
Haile Selassie
75
High, high as the eyelids of osprey
76
I'm driving
77
Poseidon your trident can't stop me, from diving
78
Lookin' for my
79
Lookin' for my
80
Lookin' for my
81
As I float
82
Brand new shell for my ghost
83
Tattoos all on my coast
84
[Interlude 3: Lupe Fiasco]
85
A qualified man with vision
86
Unmoved by daily selfish interests
87
Led to right decisions by his conscience
88
In general, a man who knows from whence he comes
89
And where he's going
90
Will cooperate with his fellow human beings
91
He will not be satisfied with merely doing his ordinary duties
92
But will inspire others by his good example
93
You are being watched by the nation
94
And you should realize
95
That you, will satisfy it if you do good
96
But on the contrary, you do evil, it will lose its hope and confidence in you
97
Selassie

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
99
Hydrant open wide
100
On the side of the colonized
101
Swimmin' in the street, fell asleep on my mama thighs
102
Blockin' out the noise that destroys little boys
103
Live enjoy, ships ahoy, get deployed by the rock-a-byes
104
D-d-d-deep into the sea of my dreams
105
Lyin' fall asleep at the feet of my queen
106
Hawk comin' right to the beat of your wings
107
Song for the Ethiopian King
108

Lookin' for my
115
Lookin' for my
116
Lookin' for my
117
As I float
118
Brand new shell for my ghost

Tattoos all on my coast

Lookin' for my
