[Intro]
Yeah just my army
Lookin' for my army
'Cause you're my army
Yeah, you know what it is!
Lookin' for my army girl
Ay
[Verse 1:Lupe Fiasco]
Smarter than a mug, heart full of love
Mind full of me, mine's full of her
My zone is the home of the Cubs
Westside, where I reside
Just a rose that was grown from the mud
My girl don't like goin' to the club
Just fly from her toes to the skull
Your peer pressure, well we'll be fine
Insects we be fly
No roaches we deny
Off life how we be high
Roll like Bun B and Queen in ride
Straight edge, great cred, well-read, well-versed
Like me, love god, Mashallah, go to church
[Hook]
She look so good, she from the hood
Yeah, that's my army girl
She got my back, we on attack
Me and my army girl
Ay
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
She got morals, she got ethics
She's gorgeous, and god blessed it
Feeds you breakfast
You do wrong, she corrects it
She be nice and I respect it
Give me space and don't press it
Do her best to leave me stressless
And that's precious, so impressive, so I invest it
She's my inspiration
When I'm breathless, when the roads rough
She my exit, who I came in, what I left with
She's my right now and my next year
She ride we ride
[Hook]
She look so good, she from the hood
Yeah, that's my army girl
She got my back, we on attack
Me and my army girl
Ay
