Artist/Band: Lupe Fiasco
Lyrics for Song: Ital (Roses)
Lyrics for Album: Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap [2012]



[Intro]

Black panther, black panther, what do you see?

I see a dream ITAL watching over me

Back n*gga

Yeah, hey, can we get a little break

From the cocaine and the kilos

Aiight n*gga, we know

Aiight n*gga, we know

Can we get a break from the strippers on the pill

Aiight n*gga, we know

Okay n*gga, we know



[Verse 1]

Hey shawty, ain't no future in no gang-bang

And ain't no manhood in no bang-bang

Ain't no honor cleanin' interstates inside a chain-gang

Know some rap n*ggas put that sh*t inside your mainframe

Pills make you stupid and liquor do the same thing

Raris' too expensive and they way too hard to maintain

Get yourself a Camry, "n*gga said a Camry?"

Watch that ho depreciate and then you'll understand me

It's called being fiscally responsible

Don't let these lying images up in hip-hop here conquer you

The TV's not your father fool, that video's not your momma

Try your best to be a man and your worst to be a monster



[Hook]

May we have some roses for the ladies

A little appreciation for the gentlemen

And here's some kisses for the babies

Some peacenality for the whole wide-wide-wide world

More patience to the youth, sympathy for the poor

Empathy for the old, more justice for the down and pressed

Treat no liar ITAL, Ai-yaa!



[Verse 2]

I know you're sayin', "Lupe rappin' 'bout the same sh*t"

Well, that's 'cause ain't sh*t changed, b*tch

And please don't excuse my language

Cause I would hate for you to misrepresent

The true expression of my anguish

And by this far I ain't shocked, upset, or appalled

I'm ashamed, b*tch

I can't listen if you ain't sayin' sh*t

And recognize all this emptiness is dangerous

Ain't buildin' up they confidence, we teachin' 'em that they ain't sh*t

If they ain't got the latest that they saw on someone famous

Mercy of the Lord on this double-edged sword

Instead of askin' where the hoes is

Maybe maybe we could ask for roses



[Hook (x2)]

May we have some roses for the ladies

A little appreciation for the gentlemen

And here's some kisses for the babies

Some peace and humanity for the whole wide-wide-wide world

More patience to the youth, sympathy for the poor

Empathy for the old, more justice for the down and pressed

Treat no liar ITAL, Ai-yaa!



[Verse 3]

Called the president a terrorist

Corporate sponsors like, how the f*ck you gon' embarrass us?

Ain't my fault, I was just repeatin' this

Professor Emeritus from America

But my tone was like an Afghani kid without a home

Blew that b*tch up with a drone

An Iraqi with no daddy, Palestinian throwing stones

The f*ck you think they call him, I'ma leave that all alone

Cause this, the focus on this new sh*t is that hopeless

Place that I was born into systematic brokeness

Took that downpression and developed it to dopeness

It's that great American rap-rap ferocious



[Hook]

May we have some roses for the ladies

A little appreciation for the gentlemen

And here's some kisses for the babies

Some peace and humanity for the whole wide-wide-wide world

More patience to the youth, sympathy for the poor

Empathy for the old, more justice for the down and pressed

Treat no liar ITAL, Ai-yaa!
