Shining Down (feat. Matthew Santos)

[Matthew Santos]
Look up in the sky.
Now look up in the sky.
Look up in the sky

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn’t around.
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.

[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]
Well, well
Is that our little author? [bad word] 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

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn’t around.
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.

[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco]
*Auto-tuned* No, I ain’t that [bad word] 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 *Auto-tuned*

Now if we auto-tune that [bad word] 
We can hear the songs from that opera groomed fat [bad word] 
Telling us not to pursue it, just to shoo 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 bandanas Fabolous used to wrap his hats with
Rather be in F.E.D.S. instead of National Geographics
Well, I’m not having it

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn’t around.
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.

[Verse #3: 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 lines
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? Yea, they are, too.
You look up and you see us shining down on you.

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn’t around.
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.

[Matthew Santos]
Shining down on you
Shining down on you
Shining down on you
