Lupe Fiasco - Shining Down Lyrics and Video

[Opening/Hook]
Look Up in the Sky.
Now Look Up in the Sky.
Look Up in the Sky
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn't around.
You thought I left you alone.
But look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I’m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.

[Verse 1]
Well, well
Is that our little author?
Coming back; Humming his hymns a little altered.
Your attention; Put back on the flow like a department of water
Take it off of the door like little Walter
Chess? Yes. Baby, I’m Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause; Outlaw with the lawyer
Judge, jury like a loo; Rap name Lupe but my daddy named me Warrior
This is his memorial. Shoo

[Hook]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn't around.
That I left you alone.
But Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I’m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.

[Verse 2]
[auto-tuned]No, I ain’t the nigga trying to get a liquor line
When I be scripting lines; Want this petition signed.
It says I'm sick of dying; Sick of this prison time.
I really love my people; I'm sick of pimping mine.[/auto-tuned]
Now if you autotune that shit
We can hear the songs from that Opera groomed fat bitch
Telling is not the pursuer just the shoe like a blacksmith
We're trapped, and moving round in circles like it’s chap stick
And that's the same encircled way of thinking that we chat with
We'll rap this, around your head like a bandanna’s fabulous
Used to wrap his hat's with; Rather being F.E.D.S. instead of National Geographics
Well, I’m not having it, now.

[Hook]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn't around.
That I left you alone.
But Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I’m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You

[Verse 3]
So, I say hello and this is for the third time
To everybody out there who ain’t never heard of mine
And if you have then you know you ain’t never heard lying
Lu don’t move. No cowards, you only heard lions
Not a facade cherisher, I’d rather have the scars
I don’t idolize America, I’m dancing with the stars
Uh huh. All of them? Yea, they are, too.
You look up and you see us Shining Down on you.

[Hook]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn't around.
That I left you alone.
But Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I’m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You

Shining Down on You
Shining Down on You
Shining Down on You
