Lupe Fiasco Mean & Vicious Lyrics

uh
He's meannnnnn
and vicious
I cant believe hes that rude
To those stories those rhymes that jew
Then he put 'em on the floor like cat food
And put 'em on the track like glue
Then put 'em on your head like hat
Hey back to you Lu black power
Im just running with a barrel full of black powder
Wita hole in it hole in it wheezin deep, breathin
Running from the fire on the trail i keep leavin
I cant shake it i swear its heat seekin
I keep seekin somewhere to hide from it duck and dive from it
But it keep keepin up just when i think that ive done it
It keep sneakin up
Ohh leakin barrel of black powder how that flame keep reachin us
Just one of the long winded extended metaphors alusions
This time I use an example of a fuse
to demonstrate how i cant lose
I would put it down but i cant due to the glue
that i use to fuse everything together
well i spilled some on my hands
and God d___ i might have to carry this forever
Well im crazy to the game till they bury me insane

Chorus:
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was p___e to bang
doing his thang doin his thang
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was known to bang now he's
doing his thang doin his thang

Truthfully I have trouble with second verses
Cuz the first one be so intimidating
It'd be bullying, pickin on it instigatin
pointin out all the second ones limitations
like you aint nothing but an imitation
like bits o' bacon then it gets the chorus
and the beat to get together then they all gang up on him and get to hatin
but then around the 8th bar he tires
of they conspiring and comiseratin then he find his inspiration
to spar he takes a few seconds of judo lessons
sits back one beat then punches the guitar
they stand in awe like when did you write that
they even right black
first verse already happened
so he aint have a change to fight back
i like that
abignal junior check mate
"you gon respect me, aiight track?"
listen to em feelin himself
swagger up and a few ad libs to back it up
lets back it up
i think youve had enough
give me my mic back
you aint even write that
oh its like that?
track stop pumpin till this n____ stop frontin
yeah yeah now right back

Chorus:
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was p___e to bang
doing his thangg doin his thang
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was known to bang like
doing his thangg doin his thang

Oh my god
my perails in my odds
I aint really here what you hear is a mirage
This aint the delivery baby this is just lamash
The ice cream and pickles tickle and a massage
The king author of the knight eldibage
the camafouge water in the distance
floggin a camel to get there wit the quickness
mean and vicious
grinch who stole christmas and hid it in the garage
there was a collage a barrage that brought all things to help this thing start
jump jump, my battery charged
im bout my green like string beans and beings from mars
its a mean thing to be seen with us
got that f&f on me im a young lil thriller
i will resurrect homie come back for my killa
and some dishevelin the peril with that same leakin barrel its on

Chorus:
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was p___e to bang
doing his thangg doin his thang
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side Of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was known to bang like
doing his thangg doin his thang

its meaaannnnnn
and vicious
