"Killers" is a song by American rapper Lupe Fiasco, released as a preview on December 5, 2016, to his Twitter. He made the conditional statement of if Du "NuckleDu" Dang won the championship title at the Capcom Cup video game tournament, he'd drop the track. The recording was revealed to be created on May 20, 2016.[1] A snippet was used in promotion of the EVO Street Fighter V tournament held earlier in July.[2][3]
Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
Looks like we gonna be fighting in the streets
That's what its looking like to me (Nah)
So you stay right there as we bow our heads and say our prayers
It's a lot of killers in this room, mama (Yeah)
I hope I make it out pools, mama (Yeah)
I'm gonna show 'em what to do, mama (Uh)
I'm gonna take 'em off to school, mama
[Verse 1]
Here comes a new challenger, and I think they wanna battle
I gotta show him and let him know I'm king of my castle
He puts his [?], I'm so meanin', I ain't gotta [?] you
[?] peoples that [?]
I'm with the [?]
I'm taking all of your chokeholds, so going on me is a no-no
The trinity going loco
And [?]
Look at the damage, cameras can take a photo
[Pre-Chorus]
Fight Stick - like it cleaned, keep it wiped off
On the mic, but I fight, call me Mike Ross
It's about to go crazy turn the lights off
Done killing him and I'll come and be fighting y'all
[Chorus]
Looks like we gonna be fighting in the streets
That's what its looking like to me (Nah)
So you stay right there as we bow our heads and say our prayers
It's a lot of killers in this room, mama (Yeah)
I hope I make it out pools, mama (Yeah)
I'm gonna show 'em what to do, mama (Uh)
I'm gonna take 'em off to school, mama
[Verse 2]
He was talking that on stream
He was talking that online
You can say whatever you want
But you ain't talking that right now
Maybe you can tell yourself exactly how to take this game back
Save you from these combos, maybe help you out these frame traps
Moment 37 you to heaven with the Quickness
1-800-EX-TATSU call me if you whiff it
V-in-trigger, stands for Valle, now let's get to business
Evolution we just brought you up in here to witness
[Pre-Chorus]
Fight Stick - like it cleaned, keep it wiped off
On the mic, but I fight, call me Mike Ross
It's about to go crazy turn the lights off
Done killing him and I'll come and be fighting y'all
[Chorus]
Looks like we gonna be fighting in the streets
That's what its looking like to me (Nah)
So you stay right there as we bow our heads and say our prayers
It's a lot of killers in this room, mama (Yeah)
I hope I make it out pools, mama (Yeah)
I'm gonna show 'em what to do, mama (Uh)
I'm gonna take 'em off to school, mama
