"We On" is a song by GemStones featuring Lupe Fiasco and Poo Bear, released from the former's mixtape Fahrenheit 1/15 Part VI: The Testimony of GemStones (2007).[1] It samples the 1981 song "Silly" by Deniece Williams. It was intended to be the lead single from GemStones' debut studio album, Troubles of the World, though was never released due to the dissolution of the record label 1st & 15th and GemStones shift to Christian rap after the death of his best friend.[2][3]
Lyrics[]
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco, Gemini]
Jaguar skills! HOOOOOOOOOO!
Reportin' live somewhere sexy
Somewhere up top
You know what it is
Heaviest heaven in '07 (Yeah, yeah), Gemini
'Troubles of the World', ya dig
(Yeah, yeah, yeah...)
[Verse 1: Gemini, Lupe Fiasco]
I represent it to the fullest
Never met a n***a that can take it the way I took it
That ain't gonna make you hate us now would it
'Troubles Of the World' man then n***a pull it
Come kick it with your homie I'll show you how to push
If Your Looking To Stand I'm camouflage in the bushes
Fly in ya mind I'll show you how to look it
Rock's in tha band like "oh god, my goodness"
I'mma tell 'em bout you
Tell 'em bout we
Well let's tell 'em on two
Tell 'em on three
Let's show 'em what it do
Show 'em what it be
Gem to the M-IN-I
L-U-P-E
Got gold watch 'n gold chain
24's choppin, so clean
Beat-Knock-We-Rock-Chi-Ca (Go mayne)
Gotta understand this is who we are
People murder service and Comme des Garçons
Any given time we purchase them new cars
Somebody call a surgeon we hurtin' 'em too hard
Us takin' tha light
That's takin' it too far
What you expect playboy we two stars
Screw stars, we the new Mars
Lookin' for a Venus, n***a you a G
[Hook: Poo Bear]
We gon' show ya (We gon' show ya)
What it was (What it was)
How we do, what it does
Light it up, catch a buzz
We gon' lock it (We gon' lock it)
On down (On down)
Throw ya keys in the Motor
Keep it moving 'cross the border
We on, we on
We on, we on
We on, we on
We on, we on
'Cause we on, 'cause we on
We on, we on
Cuz we on, we on
We on, we on
[Verse 2: Gemini, Lupe Fiasco]
We the 85 Bears, 92 Bulls
05 Socks, with a whole lot of pull
All rolled up and there's no lettin' up
If you're smart, you'd wanna be the '07 us
Uh, never met a n***a breathin' this cold
Box Chevys everywhere, 23's, 24's
Nothin but tha best TV screens on tha door
Try to get it how you live it when you livin in tha 'Go
Well I'm all like no chrome, no tints, fo' phones
Just 'case E.T wanna go home
Never chase, coz of me there is no jones
Levitate from tha sea-floor to tha O-Zone
Five star hotels all week
Non-stops to Paris ain't cheap
Sick lake views, big penthouse suites
Champs-elysées is magnifique
Gucci sweats when I'm out in tha streets
Linen shorts when I'm chillin in tha beach
Idium when I'm out in tha mountain
Maharishi when I'm out on the town in
Spring water won't mess with tha fountains
Land rovers back to back when we camping
Felipe lemonade, police did a raid
We didn't fade, back to tha bouncing
Fresh Benz smoke when they peel
Speedin' on the freeway, we Chillay Chill
Did tha food then and it stillay still
Got it off tha ground like a wheelie'd wheel
Uh you from tha west side? Born and raised
You from tha south side right? That's were I spend my days
Where I lay, where I stay
And you ain't gotta wonder why I get my ways
[Hook: Poo Bear]
We gon' show ya (We gon' show ya)
What it was (What it was)
How we do, what it does
Light it up, catch a buzz
We gon' lock it (We gon' lock it)
On down (On down)
Throw ya keys in the Motor
Keep it moving 'cross the border
We on, we on
We on, we on
We on, we on
We on, we on
'Cause we on, 'cause we on
We on, we on
Cuz we on, we on
We on, we on
[Verse 2: Gemini, Lupe Fiasco]
Free Chill, we will
God willing and I miss him
'Cause 10 in the end got tha spirit all in him
And serious as a villain with tha lyrics I'm penning like
I ain't really tripping coz I know that God's with him
Till we meet again, n***a, free my n***a
Sick with the pen I'm a beast my n***as
With tha new Benz when tha 23's dont fit em
And you know you can't red light tha green light
Try to break us up, lace it up, keep tha team tight
This lifestyle make it hard for me to sleep at nights
I'm on tha 747, finna take flight
In a sports car, faster then your car
It's Gemini, and y'all know me
Better together now ya'll know tha letters
Forever and forever F-N-F U-P
[Hook: Poo Bear]
We gon' show ya (We gon' show ya)
What it was (What it was)
How we do, what it does
Light it up, catch a buzz
We gon' lock it (We gon' lock it)
On down (On down)
Throw ya keys in the Motor
Keep it moving 'cross the border
We on, we on
We on, we on
We on, we on
We on, we on
'Cause we on, 'cause we on
We on, we on
Cuz we on, we on
We on, we on
[Outro]
