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
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
[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
[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

Now they got you in VIP, huh?
How many people almost famous
You almost remember what they name is

G.R.I.P P.I.M.P
I, any spelling ***** come on that's me
I bring a burning sensation to the urban eye
Like an eye-drop of Turpentine
You can listen to the serpent, fine
But the earth got gas once it burps its fine
Someone around me they talk about the grease
Not G.H.G, how to cook a quarter ki
Talking all nasal, he aint over that cold
No glove scrub, Manny just over that stove
Perfect paradigm
Wrong place wrong time
Should have been Phizer, GlaxoSmithKline
Number one chemist
Look at him no blemish
Egg shell off white like a DuPont finish
Young, dumb, high strung, who could handle us
I wonder how Gods gon' paint today's canvasses
Cause who knew that day that man would just

The more that You app
How many of you all know that this was not the official music video? Awesome effort by Va$thie
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.
Anyone else here from Memento Mori 7 😂
being young as the kids in the video (prolly younger) when this dropped i couldn’t dissect it as great🤦🏾♂️but this shit fye when u really really listen to it
Had to come back after Jesus is King dropped
This was genius
just imagine you’re a child actor and your magnum opus is playing a ten year old thom yorke
Thank you for posting this
Classiiixxxxxxxxxx
Too much middle school nostalgia im finna cry
Redwood elementary
Instead we got LASERS and G.O.O.D Fridays
This group had so much potential...I remember discovering this on a hip hop site I used to go to man, they had another song but I forgot it
I think it was called "don't stop"
This song will never be forgotten! Hopefully this will never be deleted off youtube! <3
a hidden gem. I've never met one person who has also listened to this song smh
This video is really something amazing man. I hope one of them sees this one day and gives you the credit you deserve!
still here in 2019
R.i.p to Good music
Still bumping this in 2019
2019 and still listening ❤️
Man this song and video takes me back to a special place in time.
fire.. I'm kinda old, bad with emojis other than..😊
I remember I got my first bj with this song in 6th grade
Lupe and Kanye aren’t even cool with each other anymore, right?
They're still chill with each other but don't talk anymore
Do y’all hear what they’re saying though?
We wuz ROBBED!!!!
🗣🗣🗣 Lifestyles of the rich & famous! My shittttt ✊🏽
soul saving 🌊🌍🌊
check kanyes part and how he speaks about myspace chicks, also the imagery. then he went for kim. wtf lol.
They were supposed to take over the world wtf
2019 anybody!?
Don't worry, we're here...
Al Simmons yes bro dont worry
Lupe ain’t have to kill that shit like that
The boy playing Thom looks like a young James Harden
2019 still hoping for an entire album!!
Right?!
at least hoping someone leaks it
Thine Yorke is the reason this is even anything remotely good. Remove the music and... well, please don’t do that..............
"I know that nigga wishes he was standing in line.....to see it....as if he didn't do it." *Damn*
I wish we had a album from CRS :(
Hands down the BEST song nobody's heard of.
Ahh the memories
2019... I miss actual good music
yo i always thought this was the legit music video ! for years hah i find it even cooler that this is a fan made zero budget video. great work !!
Your dream is very much alive 🦋
b. denise facts
The bugs love this song!
2019 and still timeless !
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.
This is such a dope track
I remember hearing this in elementary thinking this one of the greatest songs ever
I love this F🤬N song.Thank you Vashtie ❤️🙏🏽
Lupe is such a fucking good rapper omg. Kanye and Pharrell Went off but Lupe is a different breed
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.......😔
Lupe has the coolest rap voice and flow
Never knew they had a video for this
지금도 들으시는분? ㅋㅋ
If you're still listening to this in 2069 thumbs up.
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.
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.
since this was 10 years ago, yeah probably
@yikes! Math
That’s how time works... yeah
-
Good song 👍🏾
20180710 point SHASHA PRESHOW and clothes.
10+ tho @vashtie
@vashtie don’t stop! U shall never become namelessly evolved!
Does the song Nice by the Carters remind anyone of this track??
I'll become a famous rapper and get them together don't worry guys
Child Rebel Soldier you aint orphan enugh
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 :(
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
im 11 years late
Wasted potential
Anybody know what brand the pink shirt baby lupe is wearing?
Discovered this as a freshmen. (‘08) idk. Anyway cried then, crying now. Timeless.
they need to make a album together. please we need real music out here
Still here in 2018, Real music never dies
I'm so curious where the kids in this video are today.
CRS > Watch the Throne
10 years of my life wasted why have I just found this song
PHARRELL SLEPT TF ON
Put this album next to the Dr Dre produced Rakim album in the classics that never were.
This was a special time!
2018 and still wondering what if this album dropped
the greatest group that never was
This album needed to happen.
This video is trash
Edgy brah
Man this takes me back to high school. I’m sad this group never took off. I wonder where those kids are nowadays.
still listening 10 years later.
Give the people what they need. This album would go so hard.
Damn this finally has 2.4 mill views bout time..
Brings me back to 09. Gotdamn
9 years ago? No way! I was a freshman in college when this came out...
.....I just realized we never got this album........damn smh
Q-tip birthed them all.
PEGLEG NYC.
2017 and still here this is a classic and should happen again
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
I wish I had never heard this song. Cause now I will never get to hear a Child Rebel Soldier album...
I thought I was the coolest person when I listened to this in 12th grade lol
Erika McQueen Sameee lol
Nah, in fact, we WERE.
Nobody was on this sh*t.
Same for me in 10th grade. Nobody was up on this where I was from so I felt so exclusive.
This was next level
Damn I was in 8th grade time flies!
anyone else totally fucking trippin over Kanye and Lupe rapping over a fucking Thom Yorke solo track???
I wonder what these kids up to nowadays
