[Intro: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell] Ho! Uh, yessir! Uh, yessir! Lupe! Chicago man! Yeah! Man! You know I have ya right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco] They call me Lupe, I'll be your new day They wanna smell like me, they want my bouquet But they can't, they accented like the UK Turn that ude, Lupe, to Pepe Le Peu spray Flagrantly fragrant and they can't escape it My perfume pursued them everywhere that they went You don't want a loan, leave my cologne alone It's a little too strong for you to be putting on Trust me, I say this justly I went from musty to musky and y'all can't mush me I warn y'all cornballs, I hush puppies The swans in the pond called my duck ugly But now they hug me, because it's lovely They love the aroma of a roamer of the world Got the shakers and the skaters and the players and the girls Keep the fakers and the flakers and the haters in a twirl.
[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell] You want the flava ma, hey I gotcha You want the realness, well I gotcha I know you sick of them niggas' big car and watch, ya Either they pimps or they macks or they mobsters You want the real shit, well I gotcha You see my niggas here, you know we proper You know we do it right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right You know we do it
[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco] And I'm from Chi-Town, that's where I flies 'round Keep some Cartier frames over my eyes now We used to gangbang a lot of that done died down Children of the hat-tiltin' keepin hope alive now All with no high, I do it so fly Banksy's attack helicopter with the bow tie I love my city, really hope that God bless it Have my mind moving faster than that hog in the hedges Welcome all of y'all to my dark recesses This is where I keep the bars like bathtub edges My Ivories and my Doves, my Levers and my Zests It takes half of your bubble bath to match the freshness The belly of the beast, you know I'm from it I wrap it in a towel, here go my pal in its stomach And I be on my green like Irish Spring, then I coast Fudge wit it, get a mouth full of soap
[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell] You want the flava ma, hey I gotcha You want the realness, well I gotcha I know you sick of them niggas' big car and watch, ya Either they pimps or they macks or they mobsters You want the real shit, well I gotcha You see my niggas here, you know we proper You know we do it right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right You know we do it
[Verse #3: Lupe Fiasco] And so to sign off, this beat I rhyme off Is from Thelonious P and Hugo Mind Boss You feel it in the air, it's such a fine force But you don't hear me though, just like a mime's talk That's cause I'm in Europe, me and my friends tour-a I'm on my pimp, my temperature is Tempura I take it easy, on my watch, I'm watchin TV In my cleanest Maharishis, see the hare is trying to beat me I continue to do Lu's pace They say him got two heads and four eyes just like Screwface But see my secret's safe, it's in my secret safe That's in my secret room, on my secret base So from the runner of the FNF crew Come in hip hop, we've come to resurrect you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell] You want the flava ma, hey I gotcha You want the realness, well I gotcha I know you sick of them niggas' big car and watch, ya Either they pimps or they macks or they mobsters You want the real shit, well I gotcha You see my niggas here, you know we proper You know we do it right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right You know we do it
