[Verse: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh yeah, yeah
Wildstyle what up baby?
Lupe, Westside
Allow me to play the game, I select myself
Finesse myself, department I correct myself
Behind the bar like [?] the ugly mob homie, buddy, friends to the end
They can't peer me, clearly
I collect my wealth, master [?] sick ain't it, I infect myself
I go back before I disconnect my belt
And roll back to protect myself so hold that
Right here, I'm gonna interject myself
The DA call me a dope dealer
They can't play with the deck I was dealt
From the Westside, this the best I felt so I feel it's right to chests high
But I'm exec, so I check myself
Like it's chess and I'm fresh myself
Set up the set myself
I get the drop like a [?] n***a check my stealth
Check the 'p' of a PI and you will see that I'm blessed myself
I'm enduring, I am far from your [?]
Not to [?] that urine
I'm a vet I built, as I bully down the block
See the tops I knealt, benzies I crept up in, n***as sleep frontin'
I fresh myself, dress myself, cook breakfast look in the mirror and dress myself
Like nah you the man
After thorough hair pumpin' I continue to punkin'
Punkin' hands on the beach that [?] keep pumpin'
N***as gonna need help, help, help
Save me, save me
It's like that major the way Lupe be
It's, uh
[Chorus]
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
And I refer to the side I resides from (Westside)
That's the side that the sun don't rise from
That where I comes into the picture like Kool-Aid
Lupe, cool ain't the n****a, uh
Ain't the n***a to test like a bulletproof vest
You tell your man to put it on
And you shoot 'em in the chest
I guess some n***as gotta check, you know to see if it works
Well at .95 homie you'll be seein' a nurse
Next
I'm just doing my best, they ain't seein' my worst
They ain't see and see hookin' up with the 1st and fifteen team leader who be preachin' at church
Ringleader never leavin' the turf unless I'm leadin' a search for more n***a
Might be yours, n***a screamin' "save me, save me"
It's like that major the way Lupe be
[Chorus]
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
[Verse 3: Wildstyle]
In case you got it confused, I ain't the one to approach
When I write it's like thousands of volts
When I spit I can light up a coast and make you give up your ghost
Better call of sick, tryna get me out your system then you might overdose
I'm so dope
The [?] your killer, tryna get rid of my flow there's no hope
Rappers bow in my presence when they see me like the pope
I'm a Chi-town legend forever, even after I croak
And to murder whoever on the mic from some shit that I recite, that I wrote
Homie this ain't a joke, I've had you put in a hearse
Six feet under some dirt presto like magic, send you back to the earth
Get your pass revoked
Take a minute, think about it
Let it soak in your brain, you're too slow (Whoa)
You better check my skills, I was [?]
Getting up out of your body, and open your arteries over the anatomy
'Cause I will kill that will
Like it's biology doing lobotomy on your psychology when they [?]
How did they flow so ill with platinum and gold racks, man, the boy so real
He the best I know, with that Westside flow
Represent Chi-Go, every set I go
'Cause it's all I know, and how to get that dough for sure
They tryna figure how to slow us down, it's Lupe Fiasco and Wildstyle
We got it
[Chorus]
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)
Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off
That's the new Wildstyle and Lupe Fiasco, "Poppin' Off"
Chi-town, you gotta love it
Yeah, uh huh
