**Lyrics**
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Uhh, pen to the pad, metaphors on fleek

Took the words that I heard and I put em' to the beat

Press up my tape then I put it in the street

Upload my files and tweet out my link

I'ma be in ‘em comments just to see what they think

I'ma shoot me a video and put it on the 'tube

I'ma spam IG to get up my views

And DM my favorite artist, say, "I'm gonna be hu-u-uge"

Book me a show that the blogs gonna cover

And they all gon' love it

And the crowd gon' turn up, is anybody out there?

Turn up the mic, we can't hear you out here

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? I am just a baby

[Post-Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Nikki Jean]

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Not gonna go crazy when I blow up

Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up

Won't listen to the haters cause I know what

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Said I gonna be slow if I pour up

But I'm gonna be poor if I slow up

So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

Tryna get the tour bus with the studio

It ain't no buts, just bootyholes (Uh)

Can't be out here looking like dookie

When you're tryna start a movement and come up on a movie role

Everything's polished

I ain't go to college, I was at the conference

Chopping with the DJs, tryna give my single on replay

And shit up on the game like colonics (Colonics)

Hold the phone, take a flick with a fan for me (Click)

Hit the strips with a brick of the dance money (Strip)

I'm tired, let's switch with the van for me

When I make it by, you'll print the advance money

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? I am just a baby

[Post-Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Nikki Jean]

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Not gonna go crazy when I blow up

Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up

Won't listen to the haters cause I know what

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Said I'm gonna be slow if I pour up

But I'm gonna be poor if I slow up

So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

Hold up, light man, turn the lights on

Came a long way from when I was holding the mic wrong

Something for the hood and a whole lot of white songs

Like I evolved to a whole 'nother life form

I'm just tryna make it happen, don't attack that please

Can't find a job, you can rap at least

Cause that's what I did, I was at that league

Right out of high school, tryna stack that cheese

You was tryna do what? Tryna stack that cheese

You wanna flip burgers, wanna stack that cheese

Make American singles, wanna stack that cheese

Make everybody smile, tryna stack that cheese

Tryna do it for a while, tryna stack that cheese

Talking frequent flyer miles how I stack that cheese

Tryna bundle up the money, tryna stack that cheese

Aye Stack, can we stack that please?

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? I am just a baby

[Post-Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Nikki Jean]

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Not gonna go crazy when I blow up

Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up

Won't listen to the haters cause I know what

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Said I'm gonna be slow if I pour up

But I'm gonna be poor if I slow up

So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here

[Outro: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? Rescue all your babies

Who, who, who (Ay)

Hip-hop, won't you save me? I am just a baby

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Not gonna go crazy when I blow up

Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up

Won't listen to the haters cause I know what

Said I'm gonna be a rapper when I grow up

Said I'm gonna be slow if I pour up

But I'm gonna be poor if I slow up

So I gotta keep it going, ain't no slow motion in here
