## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Guy Sebastian]

From the floating death, to the fire of death

To a flower outside my grave

An old man

Or were you just being polite with your hands?

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Take time to learn me like court-appointed attorneys

Restore the order, we either join or adjourning

Less you join, I'm up performing the journey

In all earnest, I go so Bernie

Takes another n\*\*\*a to turn me

Get it straight, I ain't late on states

I'm just sternly stating

How what I do, with grace takes another n\*\*\*a to turn mean

My returning's like Blockbuster with a tape

And I ain't kind but I don't hit

So you starting at the end, that's the part where you begin

I skip the bullshit so we can start it where we win

Yeah, spoiler alert

I can hear you all saying, "Boy, you're a jerk"

But it's cool though, know we gotta rule yo

Get it in, then we win and do it all again, ho

[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]

From the floating death, to the fire of death

To a flower outside of my grave

An old man

Or were you just being polite with your hands?

And it really means I'm number one, and you're a fan

Well that's cool, cause I think you're number one too

Yeah that's cool, cause I think you're number one too

Yeah that's cool, cause I think you're number one

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

Now me and words, we made a deal, that I'm gon' keep 'em real

And they show me their secrets, I can even cop a feel

Victorious

Can't match wit, with warriors

I match wig with wits

Similarly can't mix matchsticks with forests

Only you can prevent what I do

Only dew can prevent what's my view

I match matchsticks with wicks

Wicker man, take a sip of liquor and

Spit the lip off warriors

And spit flames, n\*\*\*a, get in the gang, ahh

[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]

From the floating death, to the fire of death

To a flower outside of my grave

An old man

Or were you just being polite with your hands?

And it really means I'm number one, and you're a fan

Well that's cool, cause I think you're number one too

Yeah that's cool, cause I think you're number one too, yeah

Well that's for me, heh, yeah I think you're number one too

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

It's road rage, without a roll cage

Takes courage to run on these roadways

I know you like "No way" but I'm a full race

All so every soccer Terry Fox molding

Go ahead

Don't stop, go ahead

Sitting in your car, just listening to the bars

And there's traffic all around and you feel like falling down

And the music that I'm spewing out, enough to calm it down

'Fore you know you're out your car with your briefcase walkin' round

And them dollars from the budget that went to S1 Production

And Sebastian on the hook like being dug by Michael Douglas (yeah!)

So don't start that walk through Echo Park

When life's a one-on-one and you caught up in the jam

Just show some love back to your number one fan

[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]

From the floating death, to the fire of death

To a flower outside of my grave

An old man

Or were you just being polite with your hands?

And it really means I'm number one, and you're a fan

Well that's cool, cause I think you're number one too

Yeah that's cool, cause I think you're number one too, yeah

Well that's for me, heh, cause I think you're number one too

[Outro: Guy Sebastian]

Yeah I think you're number one too
