Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On Lyrics
LA-SER
Kane is in the building, nigga
[2x]
Alright
'Til 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't that shit that make you mad
They treat you like a slave
And put whips up on your back
They be lying through they teeth
Hope you slip up off your path
I don't switch up I just laugh
Put my kicks up on they desk
Unaffected by their threats
Then get busy on they ass
See that's how that Chi-Town made me
That glittering may not be gold
Don't 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
'Cause the brand
That the fans trust
So even if they ban us
They'll never slow my plans up!
[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til 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't here
Two in the air for the father that's there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids that don't 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's 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'm on a world tour
I would give up everything
Even start a world war
For these ghetto girls and boys I'm rapping 'round 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 'em look at me, boy!
I hope your son don't have a gun
And never be a D-boy
[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til 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've been through
No matter what you're 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 'em 'til your arms tired
Let 'em know you're here
That you're struggling survivin'
That you gon' persevere
Yeah, ain't nobody leaving
Nobody goin' home
Even if they turn the lights out
The show is goin' on!
[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til 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!

I have been having this song for many years on my all gadgets to smartphones, it never get old.
First rap song that i rap the whole verse correctly
i graduated HS in ‘09 and i’ve been going back thru hip/hop at the turn of the decade....& damn who knew it was all down hill from there lol
this would be my walk up music when I’m coming up to bat in baseball
j this don malik
The show should not go on for you sir. This song ruins the original.

REST IN HEAVEN🙏 UNCLE " PUMPKIN" GOD CALLED YOU HOME 02-04-2020...
#Flint,Michigan Vet
2020 FEB anyone?
The G SHOCK
How the fck the evolution reversed right from good rap like these to mumble rap that got no sense
I was ten when my father left me this song gave me hope as odd as it sounds.
This is what i always heard
Before i going to highschool 😂
this shit give me nostalgia 🤭
Best hockey pump song
This song brings back all the good old time teen years. Music was so great then. Whatever we listen to nowadays isn't a match 10 years
who's listening w/ me? 😎
Lupe is a great rapper & lyricist but let’s be honest, the hook is what really makes this song amazing
Lupe didn’t like this one, but if I could give the record label one, this is definitely his best track on lasers, was it even on lasers ?
ไทยมานี้🇹🇭👇👇
คนไทยขอเสียงหน่อย
4TTGUY GOD +1
Rip to the Black Mamba
Who else gets so much motivation from this song
I prefer modest mouse but this is an interesting use of the sample
I’m so glad I found this song as a kid
02102020
Huge nostalgia 🔥🔥💞💞
Chi town!!
So inspirational it brings water to my eyes.....
First black singer ever to tell kids not to sell drugs👍🏼
Listen to ice t. Classic. I am your pusher. Tell me i am wrong?
THIS SONG’S BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD since I heard it on the radio last week. I’m so glad I finally found it! Missing the last decade!
I know people always say that the developed countries have it made, but seriously the 00s-10s were pretty tough for everyone, except for those that didn't make mistakes - and even they were worried about making them or how to keep going and persevere. It's smooth sailing in 2020 - as that perseverance paid off - now it's just a work party - get a lot done and having the easy life without mistakes or hardships.
Who is watching this in 2020🔥
Can yall stfu about Kobe omfg 🤣
2020🤗
Dang this reminds of the youngin ole days
Modest mouse or this?
2020 is gonna be lit! 🔥🔥
i havent listent to this in yonks
RIP MAMBA ,
Im trying brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest easy Mamba; we'll continue your legacy. #Mamba24ever.
*N O S T A L G I A*
i pray he blows up big
Miss song
👍👍👍 aku seneng marang lagune
No doubt Lupe was a great artist and wasn't afraid to be creative on his own vibe but, having his back against the wall and a label that was rejecting everything he brought to them and basically writing the hooks and dictating the subject matter of his music . Truth is he didn't even like this song it's something that the label pushed on themhe wanted promotion on the album that this would have to be the single done their way luckily turned out to be his best song but in all honesty it's the song that he's had the least to do with of all. He doesn't even like the song.
I remember that time. He was upset about the process leading up to the release of Lasers
LeBron James and Kobe Bryant mix 💪🏿👍🏿
Bro I remember when I first heard this song. Lupe rap was the rarest as anybody ever heard
Thumbs up if bryan habana brought you here.
The label was gone give this to B.O.B or Wiz Khalifa....hip hop dead
The goddamn N O S T A L G I A
2020 👂🎉🎉🎉
2020 still fire song
Henry "The King of Cringe" Cejudo brought me here
Modest Mouse created a masterpiece and then this clown decides to butcher it.
Just cause it's a new decade doesn't mean I don't miss my songs :)
#2002Baby
R.I.P Kobe. Show must go on. Mamba Out
🔥🔥💪💪🔥🔥💪💪🔥🔥💪💪💯💯
3/2/2020 👍🤟🏻👆✌️👌

When you haven’t heard the song in 3 years but still know all the words
his other music is better
0:41-0:49 why he walkin like that

Music will never be the same again like this time of year. Wish today's music was like this again.

Rip Kobe
Still listening
