Lupe Fiasco - Us Placers Lyrics






[Lupe Fiasco]
Life styles of the rich and famous
Bought a big house and a whole lotta rangers
Fresh new couch and a whole lotta trainers
A closet full of clothes and some brand new dangers
And some Mexican floral arrangers
A great big TV that'll entertain us
Some colourful commissions for some high paid painters
Someone to take the wrap so that I stay stainless
And a new relationship with a banker
And two pinky rings for my manicured fingers
A trained German Shepard that bark when he's angered
To watch my possessions and to look out for strangers
And a fifty foot yacht with an anchor
A young supermodel that should remain nameless
(The) ups and the downs the sames and the changes
All the money in the world won't make it painless no...

[Chorus]
(But they love it and they love it)
The more you try to erase me
(and they love it) [x4]
The more the more
The more that I appear

Oh, the more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more you try the eraser
The more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more that you appear

[Kanye West]
(Plain Pat, what up?)
Lifestyles of the broke and famous
Let you know how crazy this game is
Look at all the new beautiful faces
At home supermodel myspaces
Long for they shot on the tv screen
American Idol never seen these dreams
Just last week they wanna see ID
Now they got you in VIP huh
How many people almost famous
You almost remember what they name is
Like hey didn't you play in
No it couldn't be quit playin
Now tryin to keep that balance
After MTV that's a real world challenge
Back on that train
Never to be heard from again

[Chorus x2]
(but they love it and they love it)
The more you try to erase me
The more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more that I appear

Oh, the more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more you try the eraser
The more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more that you appear

[Pharrell]
G R I P P I M P
I any spell a bitch come on that's me
I bring a burner sensation to the urban eye
Like a eye drop of turpentine
You can listen to the serpent fine
But the earth got gas once it burps its fine
Some around me they talk about degrees
Now GHG how to cook a quart of ki
Talkin bout nasal he ain't over that cold
No glove, scrub, man he's just over that stove
Perfect paradigm wrong place wrong time
Shoulda been Phizer Glaxo Smith Kline
Number one chemist look at the no blemish
Egg shell off white like a DUPONT finish
Young, dumb, how strong who can handle us?
I wonder how God's goin paint today's canvases
Cause who knew that day that man would just
Go to VA with a tech and spray campuses
What a way to see the cover of time
I know that n**** wish he was standing in line
to see it..as if he didn't do it

[Chorus x2]
(but they love it and they love it)
The more you try the erase me
The more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more that I appear

Oh, the more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more you try the eraser
The more the more (and they love it) [x4]
The more that you appear

    Yeah, Just a lil bit (just a lil bit) And it goes
    Lifestyles of the rich and famous
    Bought a big house and a whole lot of rangers
    A fresh new couch and a whole lot of trainers
    A closet full of clothes and some brand new dangers
    And
    Some Mexican floral arrangers
    A great big TV that'll entertain us
    Some colorful commissions for some high paid painters
    Someone to take the wrap so that I stay stainless
    And
    A new relationship with a banker
    Two pinky rings for my manicured fingers
    A trained German Shepard that bark when it's angered
    To watch my possessions and look out for strangers
    And
    A 50 foot yacht with an anchor
    Young supermodel that shall remain nameless
    Ups and the downs, the sames and the changes
    All the money in the world don't make it painless (no)

    [Chorus]
    (But they love it and they love it)
    The more you try to erase me
    (And they love it and they love it)
    The more that I appear, oh
    (and they love it and they love it)
    The more, the more you try to erase her
    The more that You appear

    How many of you all know that this was not the official music video? Awesome effort by Va$thie

  3. G.... ....

    I always saw it as:
    Child- Kanye; His child like energy and imagination

    Rebel: Pharrell; Being the most unique version of himself against societal norms.

    Soldier: Lupe; His militant words and vast knowledge of political matters.

    2019 and still timeless !

  45. A.... T....

    A song for the ages, for the kids growing up with creative alternative ideas that were supposed to have been conditioned. This is a spirit song for the NERDs and Afropunks.

  46. L.... M....

    This is such a dope track

  47. C.... S....

    I remember hearing this in elementary thinking this one of the greatest songs ever

  48. K.... H....

    I love this F🤬N song.Thank you Vashtie ❤️🙏🏽

  49. c.... c....

    Lupe is such a fucking good rapper omg. Kanye and Pharrell Went off but Lupe is a different breed

  50. o.... ....

    Hurts my soul when you hear and see this beautifully crafted art, then think about what could've been. Especially looking at what became of kanye.......😔

  51. A.... T....

    Lupe has the coolest rap voice and flow

  52. J.... C....

    Never knew they had a video for this

  53. G.... M....

    지금도 들으시는분? ㅋㅋ

  54. K.... K....

    If you're still listening to this in 2069 thumbs up.

  55. A.... B....

    Remember when shemags were really in? I would use mine as a face mask when I went snowboarding and many tried to clown but crazy thing was that mine was from Jordan. Smh they couldn’t stand me on the slopes.

  56. N.... M....

    I like how the kids are supposed to be like the 10 year old versions of them. These kids are most likely in their early 20s now.

    N.... M....

    since this was 10 years ago, yeah probably

    N.... M....

    @yikes! Math

    N.... M....

  62. A.... D....

    I'll become a famous rapper and get them together don't worry guys

  63. S.... P....

    Child Rebel Soldier you aint orphan enugh

  64. M.... ....

    I Know Tom Yorke produced this song originally, but I feel like it was MADE for CRS. Pharrell, Kanye and Lupe would've made a classic album had they ever done it :(

    M.... ....

    MTWENTY yeah it's bitch because out of the 3 Pharrell is the only one that kept his shit together. I feel like with today's Kanye and Lupe it's not even possible anymore

  65. P.... N....

    im 11 years late

  66. s.... ....

    Wasted potential

  67. D.... T....

    Anybody know what brand the pink shirt baby lupe is wearing?

  68. S.... H....

    Discovered this as a freshmen. (‘08) idk. Anyway cried then, crying now. Timeless.

  69. S.... ....

  72. 9.... ....

    CRS > Watch the Throne

  73. A.... J....

    10 years of my life wasted why have I just found this song

  74. T.... ....

    PHARRELL SLEPT TF ON

  75. t.... ....

    Put this album next to the Dr Dre produced Rakim album in the classics that never were.

  76. N.... J....

    This was a special time!

  77. B.... G....

    2018 and still wondering what if this album dropped

  78. B.... G....

    the greatest group that never was

  79. I.... J....

    This album needed to happen.

  80. J.... H....

    This video is trash

    J.... H....

    Edgy brah

  81. J.... ....

    Man this takes me back to high school. I’m sad this group never took off. I wonder where those kids are nowadays.

  82. J.... D....

    still listening 10 years later.

  83. D.... S....

    Give the people what they need. This album would go so hard.

  84. N.... 4....

    Damn this finally has 2.4 mill views bout time..

  85. F.... H....

    Brings me back to 09. Gotdamn

  86. W.... ....

  91. C.... ....

  92. Z.... M....

    I wish I had never heard this song. Cause now I will never get to hear a Child Rebel Soldier album...

  93. E.... M....

    I thought I was the coolest person when I listened to this in 12th grade lol

    E.... M....

    Erika McQueen Sameee lol

    E.... M....

    Nah, in fact, we WERE.

    Nobody was on this sh*t.

    E.... M....

    Same for me in 10th grade. Nobody was up on this where I was from so I felt so exclusive.

    E.... M....

    This was next level

    E.... M....

    Damn I was in 8th grade time flies!

  94. B.... R....
