## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]

Yeah, man, you know, how you doing? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ain't nothing to it, ain't nothing to it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Welcome back, you feel me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ha, Trakk, what up? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]

I defend myself in court, this is sport, I get signals from the source

I can twist and I contort, I just feel like I'm a Porsche

I'm Carrera, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

-era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

I defend myself in court, this is sport, I get signals from the source

I can twist and it contorts, I just feel like I'm a Porsche

I'm Carrera, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

-era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

Ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Lies to the judge, rain in the sky

And the sea might rise what slides to the mud

Sty's to the flies from all kinds of demise

Reporting live from the hive and all sides of the sludge

One deep meditate, one street separate

"Hi" to the Crips, "Goodbye" to the Bloods

But it was the Souls, the Lords and GDs

Segregated by the street in the Chi' where I was

Got wise to the nudge

Why buy a tub when they bayou'll flood? Better buy you a sub

How you gon' survive in the club?

You gon' kayak it 'cause when it rise up above

And the waves come in push and the tidals'll shove

What's an infrared dot to a whole dot gov?

Look right in the eyes of a thug

Lil' dumb street shit don't apply to the plug

[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]

I defend myself in court, this is sport, I get signals from the source

I can twist and I contort, I just feel like I'm a Porsche

I'm Carrera, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

-era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

I defend myself in court, this is sport, I get signals from the source

I can twist and it contorts, I just feel like I'm a Porsche

I'm Carrera, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

-era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

Ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

My warning shots headshots, cut off all my dreadlocks

I ain't wanna headwash no more

What you mean headshot? N\*\*\*a said headshots

N\*\*\*a like a helmet with a GoPro but I mean Golgo

13, genius 'cause the verse mean

'Member we earthlings, n\*\*\*a, can you put that in slow-mo?

Hope so, headshots

Brains in a pan, so that's a no-no

Might not get it, but it's dope though, matter fact, loco

Surrounded by gang members and a lot of po-po

That's real but it might sound like a joke though

Never know, keep both sides in a chokehold

I just wanted credit, used to sweat it like show clothes

Now I don't even know who wrote those

Maybe my ghost knows (Boo) but we both cold

I done used to write all my ghost flows, wrote each other solos (Boo)

Now the n\*\*\*a say he want co-pros

Money from the shelves and rights to the logo (Boo, boo)

"Do you want a lawyer?" No, ho

[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]

I defend myself in court, this is sport, I get signals from the source

I can twist and I contort, I just feel like I'm a Porsche

I'm Carrera, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

-era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

I defend myself in court, this is sport, I get signals from the source

I can twist and it contorts, I just feel like I'm a Porsche

I'm Carrera, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

-era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era, -era

Ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err, ee-err

[Outro: Nayirah]

I defend myself in court, yes, yes, this a sport, yes

Signals from the source, yeah, twist and contort, yes

Feel like I'm a Porsche, just like a Porsche

Yes, I'm Carrera (-era, -era, -era, -era)

I defend myself in court, yes, yes, this a sport, yes

Signals from the source, yeah, twist and contort, yes

Feel like I'm a Porsche, just like a Porsche

Yes, I'm Carrera (-era, -era, -era, -era)

I defend myself in court, yes, yes, this a sport, yeah

Signals from the source, yeah, twist and contort, yes

Feel like I'm a Porsche, yes, just like a Porsche, yes

Yes, it's Carrera (-era, -era, -era, -era)
