**Lyrics**
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]

Ha, ha

If you feeling good, give me a shoutout, alright?

Eh, What up? Alright

MDMA!

I'm really saying this to myself, alright (alright)

Claudio, alright

So how we gon do this one?

Uh

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

This one goes out to the baby girls

In a rush growing up in this crazy world

Yeah your brother on the road and he never home

I know you feeling kinda sad now that daddy gone

You can't let it get you down, gotta carry on

We only lose things because it make us strong

You always had my love, and now you got a song

From the biggest biggest fan that you've ever known

I know you won't be little girls, not for very long

And you ain't gotta have a man if you don't ever want

Cause I'm gonna make sure you got two of everything

That you ever want, every tone, like your very own

Not to make you hard to respect

Just really really really really hard to impress

It's a whole wide world for you to go and get your hands on

Until then, just come and get your dance on now

[Hook: MDMA]

I see you coming up

I'ma give you the low-down, down, down

You ain’t never gotta worry about nothing

Just as long as I'm around, round, round, round

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

Uh, this for everybody feeling good

You know who you are, or you misunderstood

Never had money, or you living good

If you from the burbs, if you in the hood

Recognize where we come from

In my day, mane, I did a little somethin' some

They like "how come you don't rap that?"

Cause that's a back track and I ain't tryna back that

I'm only moving forward, homie, that's that

Direction, a lot of shawties lack that

I'm just tryna' give it to 'em like sat nav

Now I know I might not make out like a fat rat

That's cool as long as they don't trap crack

Graduate from school, and still let his pants sag

Never catch a case, know how to let his cash stack

Welcome to the map, go anywhere you tap at now, yeah

[Hook: MDMA and Lupe Fiasco]

I see you coming up (uh)

I'm a give you the low-down, down, down (alright, alright, alright)

You ain’t never gotta worry about nothing

Just as long as I'm around, round, round, round

[Bridge: MDMA]

When the floor falls out

I'mma be there to carry you

And if you want that star

I'll go get it out the sky for you

If you cry, shed a tear

I'mma dry your eyes

Just to let you know it'll be alright

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

Uh, I know it's like a whole lot going on

Things going right, things going wrong

Maybe baby, on the way, and you feel so alone

Know that in this world you're never really on your own

God got a number get him on the phone

He'll never put you places where you don't belong

Put you through the pain, to put you on the throne

And I know that from the bottom of my corazon

And if they looking at you sideways

You just wave right back, tell 'em hi hater

Mad you ain't hanging with 'em in the driveway

Nah we gon' keep it moving to the highway

Strong is puttin' on, the weak is all over like Friday, chilling

Shout out to King David for bringing in Philly

And all my pretty independent women in the building, let's go!
