**Lyrics**
[Hook]

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

[Intro]

I've been lost, you know?

Oh, you know? I didn't know... didn't know at all

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

I just wanted to use computers

I made it to the finish line first, but Lu's a loser

I wanted to watch so I turned to rocks

Like Medusa, the block, the users

The rock, the shooters, the shots, the heckle of cops

The lugers, the Glocks, the cougars

Should be with my Akhs, making Salat in the Ummah

But instead I'm on the block in this lot with the Kufi's

And I'm feeling like a doofus, I think I understand the meaning of life

And really ain't no reason for ice, still want it

Still haunted by the demon, a price

But if u give it to me we'll flaunt it

I think n\*\*\*as is dead broke, and I can bring em to life, its funny how--

Naw it really ain't funny sometimes I hate money

Please God take from me

[Hook]

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

[Verse 2]

All my blessings, I take em as a lesson

Make 'em into questions, and relate 'em to the present

Should I take it as a present? A penalty?

But everything's from the man upstairs

Could barely sing cuz the man upstairs is beating on the floor

When the music stops will I have a chair?

Will I be seated on the floor

It really don't matter cat beat me to the score

I was speaking to this whore

You know I got trouble with women humble beginnings

Mumblin and tremblin now they smugglin and stealing

Step ya game up check the dame what?

I nutted on her fangs ain't nuthin to hang up

That really happened in fact but I ain't manufactured for that

A bumpy ride had to fasten my straps

I be tryna reach em, other n\*\*\*as be lyin:

Dyin' to get behind and beat 'em

I just be tryna teach 'em

[Hook]

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

[Verse 3]

I put it on paper, cuz they'll put you on for paper

But most of these n\*\*\*as is paper

10 1/2 by 8 blue lines 3 holes

Hit they ass wit 8's, flat lined, 3 holes

Cuz they'll gas u up like cold pacer

And leave u in the cold without a coat with a cold

Thats not gangsta them n\*\*\*as ain't ya boys man

Them n\*\*\*as is the poison gotta keep em under the sink

Right next to the bleach I say that I'm on top of my game

Cuz if you under you sink

I wonder if its just the hunger you think? imagine that til it haunts you

Them n\*\*\*as want you to fall, I fall cuz I want to

Yellow leaves and felonies that's how I fell on these

God made my head with mind in it

They made my bread with swine in it

Made my bed and now im lyin in it

I wonder if this is my limit

[Hook]

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now

And somebody tell me, where do I go from now
