Lupe Fiasco - Brave Heart lyrics

[Verse 1] May the Lord have mercy on my soul Forgive me for my fetishes, my purchases, my clothes Allow me to catch my rhythm so the nervousness just goes That's why I sound so certain in my verses and my flows The verbiage just gets merciless, the wordsmithness just rolls I've tuned into my pertinence, my purposes, my goals The feeling when you realize you've been working for your foes And the curtains have just opened and they worthlessness exposed You remember where you've came from, where the purses was stole There was nothing in the oven and just work up on the stove And you blossomed from the bottom, yeah, you worked with it and rose From nothing to a dozen and a garden now there grows Tell 'em! [Hook: Pooh Bear] Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart (That's me) Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart (Yessir) Brave heart (Yeah I got that) Brave heart (You know) Brave heart [Verse 2] May the Lord have mercy on my soul Like shows keep cushion where I land Keep the devil off my heels But please keep me on my toes Like a reposessor checking for everything I drove Like I owe, but I don't Paid my dues from the go Doing donuts in the dome, keep my shoes on the floor Revered by the rich, plus approved by the poor I been sped up where they sniff it And screwed up where they pour See I flew so way up high And I SCUBA'd way down low Put the top down on my fears Put the roof up on my woes I dropped that food and liquor to put you up on my stove They shoplifted and stole That just let me know they know That was Lupe #1, now this version #4 And I still feel like a virgin me versus the globe From the surface to the cove I took on the biggest wave And I surfed it to the shore with no pomade in my fro Took the wood from the slave ships and furnished my abode Now that boat is now my bed, desk, dressers and my drawers Now that's a house of pain! Plus I use nooses when I hang up all my clothes Couldn't change up if I chose That's me [Hook: Pooh Bear] Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart Courage under fire, gave me a brave heart (Yessir) Brave heart (Yeah I got that) Brave heart (You know) Brave heart Brave heart... (Yessir) Brave heart (Yeah I got that) Brave heart (You know) Brave heart [Outro] May the Lord have... Mercy on my soul
