Lupe Fiasco- The National Anthem Lyrics

Modenas
And a good organic cleaners
My car always a winner
Your car`s always pitted
We should visit it Stanley Steamers
Most of my friends in gangs
My new nickname is gang is con/Ghengis Khan
But without the `Ye, but his last name`s my side
I sit with the demeanors/the meanest
I`m armed to the teeth
You`re Venus and you`ve never been to the Dinas/dentist)
School of Hard Knocks, I dean it
I done it, as good as a notable alumnus
I donate to the campus and my name`s on the arenas
But you can`t take it to my court not yet with subpoenas
Cause you can`t turn my sport but you can still cheerlead us
And you can`t sit there, that section`s for the seniors
And the sexy senoritas so simply go up to the bleachers
How you release to educate me when I grew up with your teachers
I recognise that you can`t see me
Cause I blew up all the speakers
And the force cable is hanging
Cause I threw up all the sneakers
I ate up the imposters/pasta
And I chewed through all the pizzas
I blacked out with a black card
And I maxed out all the Visas
Accreditation so prestigious
Just walk across my stage
Your lifetime will be completed
Don`t take financial aid
Cause this is merely some free shit
You been properly prepared
Throw your hats up in the air
I`m red hot, Chilly/Red Hot Chili, I`m Anthony Kiedis
My spirit smells teenage
And Chi-town`s feeling excellent
We hit them with the President
See we set the precedent
I don`t feel I`m best
I scarcely feel I`m better than

[Chorus: Thom Yorke/Radiohead]
Everyone, everyone around here
Everyone is so near
So alone, so alone

[Lupe Fiasco]
See I don`t disagree
This is merely a grievance
This ain`t dissing
This is civil disobedience
How you exit to have hip-hop
Without all the ingredients?
Lot of mouths to feed
Plus a lot of greediness
And that greed, outshines the neediness
What niggas need is some question they authority
And melody out all the TV shit
And we be this
So I have them more
You see I did it for

[Chorus]

[Lupe Fiasco]
Yeah, I am back up on the airwaves
Feeling like a Soldier and I ain`t talking where the Bears play
Flair, look how I Fred Astaire down the staircases
Fixing to be a hair-raising tortoise versus hare race
So you should fall around here/hair like some earrings
I know attention`s all about how you pair things
So when I wish them to see me out
I just sit them next to some pictures of Rosa splitting with her titties out
And what`s written on her titties is what it`s really about
Then her vagina is some poor kids from China
Nipples nuclear missiles
Ass is a daughter without a dad
Back is like Afghanistan, Iraq
Health care hair, drive-by thighs
Education lips, HIV eyes
Environment feet
Justice get her so wet, brains get you brains
You can love her if you protest
But before you wear in her face, finish listening to the tape
Enemy of the State

The Internal Data Catalog - Sunlight Foundation

Sometimes you can get inspired by government. In our discipline it happens more than you'd think. Obviously all our new tools- new things like TransparencyCorps and Congrelate along with CapitolWords have been inspired by authorities to a degree, but there aren't many ideas that we've actually stolen from government.

Today I'm glad to announce Sunlight Labs is theft an estimate from our government. Data.
