[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] Uhh, pen to the pad, metaphors on fleek Took the words that I heard and I put em' to the beat Press up my tape then I put it in the street Upload my thousands without my link I'ma be in ‘em comments just to see what they think I'ma shoot me a video and put it on the 'tube I'ma spam IG to get up my views And DM my favorite artist, say, "I'm gonna be huge" Book me a show that the blogs gonna cover And they all gon' love it And the crowd gon' turn up, is anybody out there? Turn up the mic, we can't hear you out here [Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco] Who, who, who (ay) Hip-Hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies Who, who, who (ay) Hip-Hop, won't you save me? I am just a baby [Bridge: Lupe Fiasco & Nikki Jean] Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up Not gonna go crazy when I blow up Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up Won't listen to the haters cause I know what Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up Said I gonna be slow if I pour up But I'm gonna be poor if I slow up So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here [Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] Tryna get the tour bus with the studio It ain't no buts, just bootyholes (uh) Can't be out here looking like dookie When you're tryna start a movement and come up on a movie role Everything's polished I ain't go to college, I was at the conference Chopping with the DJs, tryna give my single on replay And sh** up on the game like colonics (colonics) Hold the phone, take a flick with a fan for me (click) Hit the strips with a brick of the dance money (strip) I'm tired, let's switch with the van for me When I make it by, you'll print the advance money [Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco] Who, who, who (ay) Hip-Hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies Who, who, who (ay) Hip-Hop, won't you save me? I am just a baby [Bridge: Lupe Fiasco & Nikki Jean] Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up Not gonna go crazy when I blow up Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up Won't listen to the haters cause I know what Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up Said I'm gonna be slow if I pour up But I'm gonna be poor if I slow up So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here [Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco] Hold up, light man, turn the lights on Came a long way from when I was holding the mic wrong Something for the hood and a whole lot of white songs Like I evolved to a whole 'nother life form I'm just tryna make it happen, don't attack that please Can't find a job, you can rap at least Cause that's what I did, I was at that leg Right out of high school, tryna stack that cheese You was tryna do what? Tryna stack that cheese You wanna flip burgers, wanna stack that cheese Make American singles, wanna stack that cheese Make everybody smile, tryna stack that cheese Tryna do it for a while, tryna stack that cheese Talking frequent flyer miles how I stack that cheese Tryna bundle up the money, tryna stack that cheese Aye Stack, can we stack that please? [Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco] Who, who, who (ay) Hip-Hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies Who, who, who (ay) Hip-Hop, won't you save me?
