## Lyrics

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

I'm feelin' like, I ain't feelin' right

I'm feelin' like, I'm finna fly

Right in the sky, unidentified

Flying object, that I sit inside

You can get a ride, just get in line

Hand by your heart, like memorize

Ask Scotty please, could you energize?

Beam on up, to the Enterprise

From the inner city, or the Windy City

Where's Mini-mini? Not Mini-me's

Only Mini-me's, not a lot of hymns

Only one eye, whole lot of them

Saw a cyclops, that's a eye clock

Like a Rolex, with a eye patch

See what I got, matches on the wall

Plus a crazy flow, suicide watch

I'm just killin' time, plus I'm insane

In a straight jacket, but it's Romanelli

I'm just gettin' back, for now it's kinda poor

Want to have things, couldn't afford a Pelle

So don't mind me, cause I ain't got a mind

I don't front hard, I ain't got a mind

I'm just gettin' mine, but don't step here

Because it's something buried, that I didn't find

And if I’m on top like a mohawk

I remember when, I was so not

It was no locks, man I couldn't ball

I was so bald, Robocop

I was Mr. Clean, now I'm Mr. T

But a different team, F&F rules

Call me F.I., from the Westside

And I'm underground, pepperin' you fool (Yeah homey)

[Hook 1: Trey Songz]

Creepin' on a come up, history, we gonna rewrite that

Left for a minute but I told you I'll be right back

I know you're slummin' and you feel me want to be like that

Well you can't see me, that's 'cause everything is black

(Black, black, black, black, black, black, black)

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

And I'm feelin' good, like a villian would

If he was doin' bad, kill Superman

Tied to a log, pushed into a saw

Take a little dog, right through the fan

And it mean man, like a dictionary

Like a definition, like you never listen

Not the "ition" endin', but the deaf part

Break it in half, like an intermission

You'll see then, what I mean then

Or what I meant there, doesn't impair

Now you're learnin' it, keep rehearsin' it

'Til it's permanent, like pimp hair

Got an empire, I'm the emperor

Like the cat were, I'll be faster

You're tryin' to add syrup, just to slow me down

But I blow 'em down, like I'm half-were

That's wolf-man, you got a full house

I got a full moon, then I pull out

The ace up my sleeve, like my hand hurt

Lend me your chips, what they took now

What they put now, gotta look down

And check your shoulder, cause I'll be over

Like a boater, you got boulders

In your loafers, put your foot down

While I Ottoman, or a Laz-E-Boy

Or a handstand, see I elevate

Like Otis, my toes is

And my flow sick, let it marinate

Try to break it down, might take a while

All good though, I'll wait around

While you chase it down, that white rabbit

Down that long hole, like paper towels (Yeah homey)

[Hook 2: Trey Songz]

Creepin' on her, come up mystery, we gonna rewrite that

Left for a minute but I tell you I'll be right back

I know you're slummin' and you feel me want to be like that

Well you can't see me, that's 'cause everything is black

(Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black)

(Black, black, black, black, black, everything is black)

(Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black)

(Black, black, black, black, you can't see me)

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

So this light's out, like a lighthouse

In the daytime, make it lay down

Make it go to bed, make it go to sleep

Like Deebo, when he was chokin' Craig

That's a headlock, it's what I said I got

The whole game in, like shooter box

Then the Sho Kosugi, if you don't know the movies

I ninja vanish, Michael Dudikoff

I get super low, I get super lost

I be super cool, like a super boss

Say they super bad, but they super soft

Like super chicken, without the super sauce

Let's step out, it's a rap now

Blow your candles, and your lamps out

When I pull up, you can pull the plug

'Cause it's game over, it's a black out

[Hook 2: Trey Songz]

Creepin' on her, come up mystery, we gonna rewrite that

Left for a minute but I tell you I'll be right back

I know you're slummin' and you feel me want to be like that

Well you can't see me, that's 'cause everything is black

(Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black)

(Black, black, black, black, black, everything is black)

(Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black)

(Black, black, black, black, you can't see me)
