Lupe Fiasco – Tokyo Freeze 3 lyrics

[Piano intro and Lupe humming]

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Scenery, man replacing machinery
Letting my phone sing to me
Sinking art, what it seems to me
Like a teenager taking the senior seats
We give so much to these devices
Life inside the lifeless, find a likeness, hope it likes us
Even plants fight, a weed would choke a ficus
A barely swallowed pecan chokes a vegan
To death right before the weekend, now
Will test fate testify on behalf of the victim?
On what he witnessed at cafe gratitude
And incriminate the kitchen?
Maybe implicate with snitchin'
But chef
Point is, nothing ever lacks a side effect
You could buy a vest and die from stress
Sometimes life may feel like one brick with 5 connects
But only you know if you really tried your best
Yes, yes, yes
[Interlude: Robert Glasper]
Casey Benjamin, saxophone and vocal, Casey Benjamin
Burniss Travis on the bass (*applause*)
Mark Colenburg on the drums (*applause*)
I'm Robert Glasper, arigato gozaimasu (*applause*)
Arigato, arigato, arigato

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh, yeah, I'm just an author
Trying to optimize my ideals like Warby Parker
Kinda like Harvey's Harlot
When the game gets going, you gotta Atari harder
How you gonna deal with these eyes without the skills to survive?
How I lyrically take liberties
Paint literature of the walls of the embassy, yeah
I hope you find sense in the asymmetries, uh
Hands up, Tokyo freeze

[Piano outro]
