The Show Goes On

Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On

(Kane is in the building, *****)
(Lets go)

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

Have you ever had the feelin that you was bein had?
Dont that **** there make you mad? They treat you like a slave
Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back
They be lyin through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path
I dont switch up, I just laugh, put my kicks up on they desk
Unaffected by they threats, then get busy on they ass
See, that how that Chi-town made me, thats how my daddy raised me
That glitterin may not be gold, dont let nobody play me
If you are my homeboy, youll never have to pay me
Gon and put your hands up, when times is hard, you stand up
L-u-p the man, cuz, the brand that the fans trust
So even if they ban us, theyll never slow my plans up

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

One in the air for the people aint here
Two in the air for the father thats there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids that dont wanna be there
None for the *** *** tryna hold them back
Five in the air for the teachers not scared
To tell those kids thats livin in the ghetto
That the ****** holdin back that the world is theirs
Yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boy
Terrified of the world, now Im on a world tour
I will give up everything, even start a world war
For these ghetto girls and boys Im rappin 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 dont have a gun and never be a d-boy

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

So no matter what been through, no matter what you 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 here
That you struggling, survivin, that you gon persevere
Aint nobody leavin, nobody goin home
Even if they turn the lights out, the show is goin on

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on

All right, already
The show goes on
All night til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
