## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]

Yo yo yo, I got this beat off Twitter

Let me show you how I did it though

First, I took a screen record, went to GarageBand

Then I had to export the QuickTime file for audio only

Then I dumped it in the Band

Looped it up, hope you understand

That's just process, now currently I think about what to say

Okay, uh

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Another day in Coronavirus

Hope we never touch like papyrus and a stylus

Old school meets new school, don't want to waste your time

Let's skirt the issue like a tutu

I was thinking of moving the IG Live over to, to YouTube

Reporting live from the scene like a news crew

You view the shipshape, carnival bar

Even the cruise knew whose who approved

Three that's what you do when there's nobody else left to prove to

Virg', write Lupe on my Lupe

We go back like Just Blaze made beats for the 2-Way

Back then I used to do it for the hoorays

Last night I posted up a pic of me, Cole and Toure

At the Grammys with the matriarchs of our families

Every once in a while, a rapper ask how can he become S.O.S.A like Sammy

Rest in peace Fred (Rest in peace) rest in peace Versus (Rest in peace)

I hope you both wrapped around some wings like the recipe at Church's

Levels, y'all were both two-piece specials

Peace, peace

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

That might have been too deep for the devils, shoulda never gave us shovels

Don't kick pebbles at rebels without schedules

Lyrical stickler, young riddler

From Chicago, the Midwest, that don't get no middler

That Last Dance look at Mike, Judge Mathis look-alike

Kid 'n Play at the House Party, just know that my foot is light

Lori, from planet self-explanatory

It's all love, but sometimes, you gotta chastise the shorties

Go in the house kids, essential ventures only

And mask over the mouth kids, and if you didn't know me

Call me rap Anthony Fauci, that black blackity grouchy mouthpiece

Ramadan breath, prayer rug pointed at Saudi

Tuck it in and square up, get reacquainted with your hairbrush

Just cause Andrew is a Barber, that don't mean he's giving haircuts

That landed suitably, worded beautifully

They heard that I was sick, now they herd immunity

Uh, choose wisely

You can use this time to be in shape or eat a cake

Tonight, I might post a picture of me and Drake

You gon' have to see and wait, make dua and eat a date

Peace

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

War

I guess 'cause it's on the album I gotta give you more

Like Islamic Spain and other chocolate rain

To see the vein like narcissists in the mirror

I peep the game like cartridges and RF switches

Freezers and glitches, I channel three the trilateral commission

It's more my speed until it softlock, let's flip a golf plot

My drive is for you to put your face in a hole like ostriches

You got a cough out

So LF95 is like a cough drop meets Kafka, meets Bain

That's a birdie, let's keep playing

Birdbox on a sunken ship full of coins, that's sea change

Enough raps, let's teach names

[Outro: Lupe Fiasco]

Lupe on the lyrics of course

The phenomenal Kaelin Ellis on the music

This has been *HOUSE*

I'd like to thank Crystal Torres, Graham, dawg, Graham Burris

Virgil Abloh, Sky Gellatley, Ricky Kim on the cover art

Abel Gerabaldi on the mix

This project is dedicated to the life and living memory

Of Peter Gellatley and all those who have passed during this time

Stay in the house!
