[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Sometimes Dreams, peace of paper I got reams
Where the ego?, Put that on a rose and now you
Pronounce it hero, U see?
Lu see like La Brea & Pico, with binoculars on my peephole
I feel my best work was album zero
Now with Deniro its boo Boo in my backyard and
Ben burnt down my gazebo that Deniro's ah Casino
Wit spit in the sandwich of the police though
They ain't see the steel plate up under my seat though
Still play it like Shaquille but I can free throw
I ain't playing but I compete, I ain't a player but I'm complete
Thats the win win, the mason mind can't sign if the pens Templar
Night vision on white linen is still green
Peace of Paper I got reams, make it rain
To make em smile, now rake it into piles
And go buy yourself some style, prom night/cat walk
Prepare the suit for weeks, or effortless as a Parisian
Just walking down the street, I ain't in it
I'm just walking round some beats, tongue in cheek
Just talking around some teeth neighborhood watching
Made of good options, mastermind times
Neighborhood hoodie take the hood shopping
Back track to stolen plates
Whats a closed wallet to an open safe?
Say your grace
Peace of Paper/Cup of Jayzus what we writing?
These ain't entendres these is secret indictments
Litte secret excitements
For willing minds I'm feeling fine
Balling hard and killing rhymes
Knocking off bigs and stealing shines
Aw shawty is it a crime?
To DMV everytime until I give em license
They waiting on lines
Peace of Paper I'm Kerry James
Commissions fly as the Constitution as a plane
Peace of Paper Cup of JAYZUS what we doing?
Pizza Lasers or Cup of Razors
What u choosing?
Choosy mothers choose the smoothest peanut butters
And more cognizant fathers do George Washington Carver
A break from the paper it means do u identify more
What's being made? or the maker?
I'm what's being chased
I'm not the chaser
Cup of JAYZUS Peace of Paper
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Now check it
Paper make a plane & paper make it rain
But how fly is a paper plane in the rain?
I'm fly paper on the brain
This and 2 ply paper just ain't the same
I do do it for the bottom
But the air is where I can stop em
Threw words like two birds, that's Batman and Robin
To answer the hunches that's just how I throw my punches
We must somehow become a family that's why I throw em in bunches
Mushroom clouds or on the floor with the fungus
If you look em up from the foot to where he put his crown
The slow pan to understand is Shaq on the shoulders of Yao
Over and over for miles
Peace of Paper, Cup of JAYZUS made a movie
Thank God on Friday, then buy a ruby on Tuesday, woo!
A couple beats from Jay, a couple beats from Ye
& make Food for thought, that's a restaurant in a day!
It would behoove thee
The critics say that I fell off I acknowledge I slipped
But what do you call falling from space into a bottomless pit?
And Not pit like Lui Kang can knock Baraka off with a hit
Knock it off for a bit
What would be really funny if I blew up after Drizzy
And started from the bottomless back to the topless like a watcher of strips
Peace of Paper, Cup of JAYZUS, bout it, bout it
Don't let ya inner fears result in a outer coward
From baby showers to eighty flowers upon my coffin roof
The upper class glass is not filled up with the coughing proof
Be more P and step ya tessirs Up
P-O-P! Jayzus a cup of Courage, I can't can't
Thats double negative like two Earls
They really nice but they'll never touch the cup its like I gave it two girls
This my Odd Future out in front the Supreme shop
Fly as Rick Ross out in front of a Wing Stop
Thought "Kick Push" was about drugs
Its not but just to be super sure
But from your perspective it might seem
Like Supreme out in front of the Odd Future Store
So that skaters and skiers
Nose grinders and grinding up
Nose powders with ether
Not an Earl diss either but he might think it be and be like
"Lu's new should be Mr.Pure to positive Shakur and to be sure he's
Not that really nice, That 2 girls and cup line sucked it really means
He just gave a cup to himself...twice"
You just witnessed a double, a probable Odd Future diss in the future
And me ghostwritting my own rebuttals
You can't do that with a single cup
You gone need a couple, you can do that gone need a double
Got my shot on the rocks, but don't stop pouring til it's a puddle
Peace of Paper Cup of JAYZUS what's the drive?
Greatest Rapper Alive or greatest that died?
Then on judgement day it's greatest rapper revived
Oh look who's here the greatest rappers' arrived
At the birthday party the greatest rapper surprised
Bumped into Doom the greatest rappers collide
Everybody dead but AZ the greatest rapper survived
I'm not the greatest rapper... the greatest rappers' a lie
Got the same points as The Lux the greatest rappers a tie
Told Jean, Foxy, & Rah the greatest rappers' a girl
They said the greatest rappers' a guy
Phone rang it was Ghost he said "Kiss the greatest rapper... Goodbye"
Chris said Common, Common said Kweli, Talib I'm sure it's Mos Definitely
Peace of Paper Cup of JAYZUS
Smack might have the greatest but now I'm just playing favorites
Playing flavored to be reminiscent of Miles on smack playing faded
Peace Of.... these niggas is nice knees like these niggas aight
Shins like listen to them, ankles like the shins making sense
Feet like why you running behind these niggas?
They still trying to step inside ya prints
Bear trap rap don't step inside the clinch
Where da at? Don't jeopardize a better stride for limps
I exercise at length so electrify the fence
Let me inside the danger room on level five with weaponized defense
With an extra side of the next guys petty exercise attempts
The ghosts of my career are better than most what they revere
I take my targets and throw em back at my spear
I'm outta here
