Lyrics Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco

Brave Heart

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 this 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 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 gardener now there grows

Tell 'em!

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

May the Lord have mercy on my soul

Like scholls 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 door, keep my shoes on the floor

Revered by the rich, plus approved by the poor

I guess it's better when they sniff it

(I've 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

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

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

May the lord have...

Mercy on my soul
