Child Rebel Soldier - Us Placers lyrics

[Verse 1 - Lupe Fiasco] Lifestyles of the rich and famous Bought a big house and a whole lot of rangers A fresh new couch and a whole lot of trainers A closet full of clothes and some brand new dangers And Some Mexican floral arrangers A great big TV that'll entertain us Some colorful commissions for some high paid painters Someone to take the rap so that I stay stainless - and A new relationship with a banker Two pinky rings for my manicured fingers A trained German Shepard that bark when it's angered To watch my possessions and look out for strangers And A 50 foot yacht with an anchor Young supermodel that shall remain nameless Ups and the downs, the sames and the changes All the money in the world don't make it painless (no) [Hook] (But they love it and they love it) The more you try to erase me (And they love it and they love it) The more that I appear, oh (and they love it and they love it) The more, the more you try the eraser The more that you appear [Verse 2 - Kanye West] (Plain Pat what up?) Lifestyles of the broke and famous Let you know how crazy this game is Look at all the new beautiful faces At home supermodel, myspaces Long for their shot on the TV screens American Idol never seen these dreams Just last week they want to see ID Now they got you in VIP, huh? How many people almost famous You almost remember what they name is Like "Hey, didn't you play in..? No it couldn't be, quit playin" Try to keep that balance After MTV that's a Real World Challenge Back on that train Never to be heard from again [Hook] [Verse 3 - Pharrell] G.R.I.P P.I.M.P I, any spelling b**h come on that's me I bring a burning sensation to the urban eye Like an eye-drop of turpentine You can listen to the serpent, fine But the earth got gas once it burps its fine Someone around me they talk about degrees Not GHG, how to cook a quarter key Talking all nasal, he ain't over that cold No glove, scrub, man he just over that stove Perfect paradigm, wrong place, wrong time Should have been Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline Number one chemist Look at him no blemish Egg shell off white like a DuPont finish Young, dumb, high strung, who could handle us I wonder how God's gon' paint todays canva**es Cause who knew that day that man would just Go to VA with a Tec and spray campuses What a way to see the cover of Time I know that n***a wish he was standing in line To see it... as if he didn't do it
