Lyrics Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco

It's Not Design

What if I said, love was a lie though

It was more like hate with a eye closed

And the other eye had the eye rolled

That's contempt and ignorance, I know

But what do I know?

Only thing that I seen was the inside of a blindfold

And you just as blind as me

So how I look? Asking you where do I go

I and I keep high hope alive though

That loves not a lie it just likes to lie low

Likes to hide right there in plain sight

And you got to find it with your eyes, closed

And in the dark, you see the part, of your partner, that's the heart

If you die it's like apartheid

We can bring it back to the

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

No, it's not designed to make you feel love

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

Oh no, yeah

On second thought leave apartheid in the grave

But the heart part, that can be saved

The hard part's making sure it don't break into little sharp pieces that are hard to replace

Hard to find spare arteries these days

In decent shape, and know things decay

And at these rates you're gon' need to be paid

Like 3D wage just to see D. Wade

To the place that sells these parts

That you couldn't keep safe from the street art

So why would we waste our art on your mistake?

When you was driving reckless, didn't pump these brakes

Hate to have to shoot you down

A fine running heart makes a soothing sound

It's junkyard love in your future, pal

Didn't appreciate it then, bet you do

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

(Yeah, yeah, make you feel)

And in the futuristic love will be reduced to physics

Computer digits made by robots

That use statistics, algorithms, and group logistics

The mood-resistant downloadable thing that's used specific

Easily updated with few commitments

Can find it's way home if you forget it

Say, maybe on a starship tour

Heard a knock at your starship door

It was the girl that you had met at the starship bar

Had a dance on the starship floor

But then you got starship sick

So you had to run to the starship store

And then you got those starship pills

But when you back she wasn't there no more

She says, "Hope you got a starsuit at the starship store

Maybe we can take a trip to take a look at the stars around parsec 4"

And it was the most beautiful thing you both had ever seen in your lives before

And she pulled out her love, so you reached down in your starsuit for

But your pockets empty, now the moments passing

It'll probably never happen like this again

I guess it didn't work out for you in the end

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)

Oh, no, baby
