The Runaway: Lupe's Revenge (Lupe Fiasco vs. UNKLE Reconstruction)

Physically here, mentally, I'm up there somewhere
And I've been thinking 'bout maybe coming down to hang around
On the ground somewhere
But this ain't the one, though
Having too much fun way up here on the sun, yo
They should really sell my CDs at the gun show
A two-disc set is like Russian Roulette
Afghanistan Kino
If you wanna win, then come in my casino
Pull up in a Porsche, pull off in a Dino
Convention on ascension, I'm delivering the keynote
Rise, and shine too
Kiwi, I can see me in reflections from my Vine shoes
I write with the same techniques they use to find jewels
Mine my own mind 'til I find something that rhymes cool
Then hit James on line two
Tell him to send a track for me to rhyme to
A setting to attach all of the shine to
A diamond mine, I could never Swarovski, Orion you
Bash!

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down

Perfect!
Big bang flow, spittin' out universes
My own metaphors went off and joined a circus
They currently on tour on the planet of the wordsmiths
You can rally 'round me like I'm Sturgis
But when you go back to where you came from
Don't tell nobody that you ever heard this
Or I might bless you with my curses, then I
You should change your attitude
A Hannibal that's having you for dinner
Cannibalistic urges, eating up this nonsense
Regurgitating purpose, in a, world unperfect
And my, mind's so spotless, like they shouldn't say they mopped it
It's just clear, it don't mean that they washed it
Put it together like bolt, swing nuts, and washers
We beefin' like Big Macs and Whoppers
And each other's throats like butterfly collars
Or Siamese twins joined at the medulla oblongata
In a tuxedo, going to the opera
Diamond mine, I ain't only CZ about me, yo
It's my initials: Zulu, Chaka
Bash!

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break even
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how you break down

Uh
You protect it, you cherish and caress it
Your precious little ethic-less method
To try to take me off of my perspective
But I respect it
But I still give you F's for effort
And the A's for me, extra credit
I deflect it, all praises be
To the most higher, I and I-er
Never will I abide by ya
'Cause you're a liar, and you're not my sire
Can't buy me, I just ride by ya
And I won't bye-bye ya
I'll buy a lighter, and set it on fire!
