Law

## Song by Lupe Fiasco featuring SIMON SAYZ

"**Law**" (stylized in all caps and an acronym for "**LoveAllWays**") is a song by Lupe Fiasco featuring guest vocals from Simon Sayz. It was released as the tenth track from Fiasco's sixth studio album, *Drogas Light* (2017). It was originally intended for his *Tetsuo & Youth* album, titled "Drizzy's Law," though was scrapped and released to his SoundCloud instead.

## Background

He debuted the song in Atlanta during his Tetsuo & Youth Preview Tour. It was released the next day on November 3, 2013. At one of his concerts, Fiasco asked for all the men to turn around as he addressed to only the women in the audience. He explained to MTV News that most of the people who hated him on Twitter were mostly males. He continued, "[S]o we set up a law where we only [talked] to the ladies, and it was called "Drizzy's Law.'" It was "only meant to be" seen on his private Twitter page as a joke, but then it became a song.

When asked about a potential collaboration with Drake, Fiasco responded, "I don't think [Drake] would do it but the offer is open. We'll probably change the name of it from 'Drizzy's Law' to 'Lupe's Law,' or something, just so people don't take it the wrong way."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Hook: SimonSayz]

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

I don't wanna be here by myself

But I'm just like you, and you don't wanna be here by yourself

Wanna put my name on it, but don't wanna end the friendship

'Cause that's a declaration, of independence

Would you lie for it? Would you die for it?

Put fireworks all inside of that sky for it?

Would you wait for me, then get away from me?

Wait ‘til I come outside, hop inside the ride and floor it

Tell her, she'll be safe with me

To the tellers in the safe with me

When the shootin' starts, don't go with them

You should stay with me

'Cause in the race of hearts, that's the place to be

'Cause the finish line is exactly where you start

So I'll run around this whole bitch, just to end up where you are

Now that's real shit, treadmill shit

I'm Treadstone but I feel shit

That's Bourne knowledge, yes you are, you just gon' have to believe

That we 'bout to go to work so these n\*\*\*as gon' have to leave

[Hook: SIMON SAYZ]

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

Now you all business, started up yourself a small business

And we all in this, no half-steppin', we high heel

All inches, high yield, small interest, hell yeah

That's a loan and we owe some

But we pay the bank back out the same sack, same money we just stole from

That's real, that's a steal

Like four to two, I look forward to you, lookin' down on the field

And you look 4'2", look forward boo, don't look down at your heels

Don't matter what's at stake, just let it burn, don't e'en look down at your grill

Either way we gon' ball, look around at your wheels

Even the baby gon' ball, look around at your wheels

This ain't my shit, this our shit

Look around what you build and that's great and shape

And you should look inside how you feel

You look and sound like you trill, you look inside for that feel

Or just look and sound how I look and sound

'Cause I look and sound like I kill n\*\*\*as

And you just gon' have to believe

And babe, I'm 'bout to go to work so these n\*\*\*as gon' have to leave

[Hook: SIMON SAYZ]

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

She don't want no soft n\*\*\*a, she just don't want no false n\*\*\*a

Daddy can be a gangsta, just can't be no lost n\*\*\*a

If you a senior, be a senior

Don't be runnin' 'round like some frosh n\*\*\*as

Snapback is great, but you're 'bout to graduate

Take your hat off n\*\*\*a

Tiger did 'cause Tiger could

But if Tiger couldn't then Tiger wouldn't

That's a billion dollars off golf, n\*\*\*a

She my fast money, my cash money, take a loss with her

And let's move slow and make a million dollars off cough syrup

[Hook: SIMON SAYZ]

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?

I just wanna be here alone, alone

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

Tell me, how do you feel?
