The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco (lyrics) LA-SER Kane is in the building, nigga [2x] Alright Already the show goes on all night \u0027Til the morning we dream so long Anybody ever wonder When they would see the sun up Just remember when you come up The show goes on! Have you ever had the feeling That you was being had Don\u0027t that shit that make you mad They treat you like a slave With chains all on your soul And put whips up on your back They be lying through they teeth Hope you slip up off your path I don\u0027t switch up I just laugh Put my kicks up on they desk Unaffected by their threats Then get busy on they ass See that\u0027s how that Chi-Town made me That\u0027s how my daddy raised me That glittering may not be gold Don\u0027t let nobody play me If you are my homeboy You never have to pay me Go on and put your hands up When times is hard you stand up L-U-P the man \u0027Cause the brand That the fans trust So even if they ban us They\u0027ll never slow my plans up! [2x] Alright Already the show goes on all night \u0027Til the morning we dream so long Anybody ever wonder When they would see the sun up Just remember when you come up The show goes on! One in the air for the people ain\u0027t here Two in the air for the father that\u0027s there Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto Four for the kids that don\u0027t wanna be there None for the niggas tryna to hold them back Five in the air for the teacher not scared To tell those kids that\u0027s living in the ghetto That the niggas holding back that the world is theirs! Yeah, yeah, the world is yours I was once that little boy Terrified of the world Now I\u0027m on a world tour I would give up everything Even start a world war For these ghetto girls and boys I\u0027m rapping \u0027round the world for! Africa to New York Haiti then I detour Oakland out to Auckland Gaza Strip to Detroit Say hip-hop only destroy Tell \u0027em look at me, boy! I hope your son don\u0027t have a gun And never be a D-boy [2x] Alright Already the show goes on all night \u0027Til the morning we dream so long Anybody ever wonder When they would see the sun up Just remember when you come up The show goes on! So no matter what you\u0027ve been through No matter what you\u0027re into No matter what you see When you look outside your window Brown grass or green grass Picket fence or barbed wire Never ever put them down You just lift your arms higher Raise \u0027em \u0027til your arms tired Let \u0027em know you\u0027re here That you\u0027re struggling survivin\u0027 That you gon\u0027 persevere Yeah, ain\u0027t nobody leaving Nobody goin\u0027 home Even if they turn the lights out The show is goin\u0027 on! [2x] Alright Already the show goes on all night \u0027Til the morning we dream so long Anybody ever wonder When they would see the sun up Just remember when you come up The show goes on!
