The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody 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 slavePut chains all on your soul and put whips up on your backThey 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 deskUnaffected by they threats, then get busy on they assSee, that's how that Chi-Town made me, that's how my daddy raised meThat glitterin' may not be gold, don't let nobody play me

If you are my homeboy, you'll never have to pay meGo on and put your hands up when times is hard, you stand upL-U-P the man, 'cause the brand that the fans trustSo even if they ban us, they'll never slow my plans up

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on

One in the air for the people ain't hereTwo in the air for the father that's thereThree in the air for the kids in the ghettoFour for the kids that don't wanna be there

None for the niggas tryin' to hold them backFive in the air for the teachers not scaredTo tell those kids that's livin' in the ghettoThat the niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs

Yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boyTerrified of the world, now I'm on a world tourI will give up everything even start a world warFor these ghetto girls and boys, I'm rappin' 'round the world for

Africa to New York, Haiti, then I detourOakland out to Auckland, Gaza Strip to DetroitSay hip hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boyI hope your son don't have a gun and never be a D-boy

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on

So no matter what you been through, no matter what you intoNo matter what you see when you look outside your windowBrown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wireNever ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher

Raise 'em 'til your arms tired let 'em know you hereThat you struggling, survivin', that you gon' persevereYeah, ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' homeEven if they turn the lights out, the show is goin' on

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, already, the show goes onAll night 'til the morning, we dream so longAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun goJust remember when you come up, the show goes on
