Testo Hurt Me Soul - Lupe Fiasco
Testo della canzone Hurt Me Soul (Lupe Fiasco), tratta dall'album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor
Stuff
Yeah
Yeah
This one right here, huh
I dedicate this one right here
To everybody out there
You dig? Uh huh
Check it out
Now I ain't tryna be the greatest (yeah)
I used to hate hip-hop... yup, 'cause the women degraded
But Too $hort made me laugh, like a hypocrite I played it
A hypocrite I stated, though I only recited half
Omittin' the word "-," cursin' I wouldn't say it
Me and dog couldn't relate, 'til a - I dated
Forgive my favorite word for hers and hers alike
But I learnt it from a song I heard and sorta liked it
Yeah, for the icin', glamorized drug dealin' was appealin'
But the block club kept it from in front of our buildin'
Gangsta rap-based filmings became the buildin' blocks
For children with leakin' ceilings catchin' drippin's with pots
Coupled with compositions from Pac, Nas's *It Was Written*
In the mix with my realities and feelings
Livin' conditions, religion, ignorant wisdom and artistic vision
I began to jot, tap the world and listen, it drop
My mom can't feed me, my boyfriend beats me
I have sex for money, the hood don't love me
The cops wanna kill me, this nonsense built me
And I got no place to go
They bomb my village, they call us killers
Took me off they welfare, can't afford they health care
My teacher won't teach me, my master beats me
And it hurts me soul
I had a ghetto boy bop, a Jay-Z boycott
'Cause he said that he never prayed to God, he prayed to Gotti
I'm thinkin' golly, God guard me from the ungodly
But by my 30th watchin' of *Streets is Watchin'*
I was back to givin' props again and that was botherin'
By this uncomfortable as a untouchable touchin' you
The theme songs that - hustle to seem wrong but these songs was comin' true
And it was all becoming cool
I found a condom on the ground that Johns would cum into and thought
What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit
Then they drop it the homie in a suit pat her on the butt, then rock it
It seems I was seein' the same scene adopted
Prevalent in different things with the witnesses indifferent to stop it
They said don't knock it, mind ya business
His business isn't mine and that - pimpin' got it
They took my daughter, we ain't got no water
I can't get hired, they cross on fire
We all got suspended, I just got sentenced
So I got no place to go
They threw down my gang sign, I ain't got no hang time
They talk about my sneakers, poisoned our leader
My father ain't seen me, turn off my TV
'Cause it hurts me soul
So through the Grim Reaper sickle sharpenin'
Macintosh marketin'
Oil field augerin'
Brazilian adolescent disarmament
Israeli occupation
Islamic martyrdom, precise
Yeah, laser guided targetin'
Oil for food barterin', terrorist organization harborin'
Sand camouflage army men
CCF sponsorin', world conquerin', telephone monitorin'
Louis Vuitton modelin', pornographic actress honorin'
String theory ponderin', bulimic vomitin'
Catholic priest fondlin', pre-emptive bombin' and Osama and no bombin' them
They breakin' in my car again, deforestation and overloggin' and
Hennessy and Hypnotic swallowin', hydroponic coughin' and
All the world's ills, sittin' on chrome 24-inch wheels, like that
They say I'm infected, this is why I injected
I had it aborted, we got deported
My laptop got spyware, they say that I can't lie here
But I got no place to go
I can't stop eatin', my best friend's leavin'
My pastor touched me, I love this country
I lost my earpiece, I hope y'all hear me
'Cause it hurts me soul
Oh, it hurts me soul
Oh, it hurts me soul
Oh, it hurts me soul
