Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On Lyrics

Kane is in the building, nigga
Let's 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?
Don't that shit 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 don't 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
That's how my daddy raised me
That glitterin' may not be gold
Don't let nobody play me

If you are my homeboy
You'll never have to pay me
Go'n 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

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 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 hold them back
Five in the air for the teachers not scared
To tell those kids that's livin' in the ghetto
That the niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs

Yeah, the world is yours
I was once that little boy
Terrified of the world
Now I'm on a world tour

I will give up everything
Even start a world war
For these ghetto girls and boys
I'm 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 don't 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

Ain't 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
