**Lyrics**
[Verse: Lupe Fiasco]

Uh yeah, yeah

Wildstyle what up baby?

Lupe, Westside

Allow me to play the game, I select myself

Finesse myself, department I correct myself

Behind the bar like [?] the ugly mob homie, buddy, friends to the end

They can't peer me, clearly

I collect my wealth, master [?] sick ain't it, I infect myself

I go back before I disconnect my belt

And roll back to protect myself so hold that

Right here, I'm gonna interject myself

The DA call me a dope dealer

They can't play with the deck I was dealt

From the Westside, this the best I felt so I feel it's right to chests high

But I'm exec, so I check myself

Like it's chess and I'm fresh myself

Set up the set myself

I get the drop like a [?] n\*\*\*a check my stealth

Check the 'p' of a PI and you will see that I'm blessed myself

I'm enduring, I am far from your [?]

Not to [?] that urine

I'm a vet I built, as I bully down the block

See the tops I knealt, benzies I crept up in, n\*\*\*as sleep frontin'

I fresh myself, dress myself, cook breakfast look in the mirror and dress myself

Like nah you the man

After thorough hair pumpin' I continue to punkin'

Punkin' hands on the beach that [?] keep pumpin'

N\*\*\*as gonna need help, help, help

Save me, save me

It's like that major the way Lupe be

It's, uh

[Chorus]

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

And I refer to the side I resides from (Westside)

That's the side that the sun don't rise from

That where I comes into the picture like Kool-Aid

Lupe, cool ain't the n\*\*\*\*a, uh

Ain't the n\*\*\*a to test like a bulletproof vest

You tell your man to put it on

And you shoot 'em in the chest

I guess some n\*\*\*as gotta check, you know to see if it works

Well at .95 homie you'll be seein' a nurse

Next

I'm just doing my best, they ain't seein' my worst

They ain't see and see hookin' up with the 1st and fifteen team leader who be preachin' at church

Ringleader never leavin' the turf unless I'm leadin' a search for more n\*\*\*a

Might be yours, n\*\*\*a screamin' "save me, save me"

It's like that major the way Lupe be

[Chorus]

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

[Verse 3: Wildstyle]

In case you got it confused, I ain't the one to approach

When I write it's like thousands of volts

When I spit I can light up a coast and make you give up your ghost

Better call of sick, tryna get me out your system then you might overdose

I'm so dope

The [?] your killer, tryna get rid of my flow there's no hope

Rappers bow in my presence when they see me like the pope

I'm a Chi-town legend forever, even after I croak

And to murder whoever on the mic from some shit that I recite, that I wrote

Homie this ain't a joke, I've had you put in a hearse

Six feet under some dirt presto like magic, send you back to the earth

Get your pass revoked

Take a minute, think about it

Let it soak in your brain, you're too slow (Whoa)

You better check my skills, I was [?]

Getting up out of your body, and open your arteries over the anatomy

'Cause I will kill that will

Like it's biology doing lobotomy on your psychology when they [?]

How did they flow so ill with platinum and gold racks, man, the boy so real

He the best I know, with that Westside flow

Represent Chi-Go, every set I go

'Cause it's all I know, and how to get that dough for sure

They tryna figure how to slow us down, it's Lupe Fiasco and Wildstyle

We got it

[Chorus]

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off (Hey)

Poppin' off (We got it), poppin' off

That's the new Wildstyle and Lupe Fiasco, "Poppin' Off"

Chi-town, you gotta love it

Yeah, uh huh
