Hurt Me Soul (Explicit)

Hurt Me Soul - Lupe Fiasco

Yeah yeah this one right here

I dedicate this one right here

To everybody out there you dig check it out

Now I ain't tryna be the greatest

I used to hate hip hop yup because the women degraded

But too hort made me laugh like a hypocrite I played it

A hypocrite I stated though I only recited half

Omitt in the word b**ch cursing I wouldn't say it

Me and dog couldn't relate till a b**ch I dated

Forgive my favorite word for hers and hers alike

But I learnt it from a song I heard and sorta liked

Yeah for the icin' glamorized drug dealin' was appealin'

But the block club kept it from in front of our buildin'

Gangsta rap-based filmings

Became the buildin' blocks for children

With leakin' ceilings catchin' drippin's with pots

Coupled with compositions from pac nas it was written

In the mix with my realities and feelings

Living conditions religion ignorant wisdom and artistic vision

I began to jot tap the world and listen it drop

My mom can't feed me my boyfriend beats me

I have sex for money the hood don't love me

The cops wanna kill me this nonsense built me

And I got no place to go

They bomb my village they call us killers

Took me off they welfare can't afford they health care

My teacher won't teach me my master beats me

And it hurts me soul

I had a ghetto boy bop a jay-z boycott

'Cause he said that he never prayed to god

He prayed to gotti

I'm thinkin' godly god guard me from the ungodly

But by my 30th watching of streets is watching

I was back to giving props again and that was botherin'

By this uncomfortable as a untouchable touching you

The theme songs that niggas hustle to

Seem wrong but these songs was coming true

And it was all becomin' cool

I found a condom on the ground

That johns would cum into and thought

What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit

Then they drop it

The homie in a suit pat her on the butt then rock it

It seems I was seein' the same scene adopted

Prevalent in different things

With the witnesses indifferent to stop it

They said don't knock it mind your business

His business isn't mine and that ni**a pimpin' got it

They took my daughter we ain't got no water

I can't get hired they cross on fire

We all got suspended I just got sentenced

So I got no place to go

They threw down my gang sign I can't got no hang time

They talk about my sneakers poisoned our leader

My father ain't seen me turn off my TV

'Cause it hurts me soul

So through the grim reaper sickle sharpenin'

Macintosh marketing oil field augurin'

Brazilian adolescent disarmament

Israeli occupation islamic martyrdom precise

Yeah laser guided targetin'

Oil for food water and terrorist organization harborin'

Sand camouflage army men ccf sponsorin'

World conquerin' telephone monitorin'

Louis vuitton modelin' pornographic actress honorin'

String theory ponderin' bulimic vomitin'

Catholic priest fondlin' pre-emptive bombin'

And osama and no bombin' them

They breaking' in my car again

Deforestation and overloggin'

And hennessey and hypnotic swallowin'

Hydroponic coughin' and all the world's ills

Sittin' on chrome 24 inch wheels like that

They say I'm infected this is why I injected

I had it aborted we got deported

My laptop got spyware they say that I can't lie here

But I got no place to go

I can't stop eatin' my best friend's leavin'

My pastor touched me I love this country

I lost my ear piece I hope y'all hear me

'Cause it hurts me soul

Hurts me soul

Hurts me soul

Hurts me soul
