Lupe Fiasco & Soundtrakk Apologetic

It’s Lupe Fiasco like you’ve never heard him before — and that’s no exaggeration. Today, the esteemed lyricist has opted to deliver an interesting two-pack, with both songs produced by Chicago producer Soundtrakk. Described as being influenced by the likes of Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott, both singles comes off as an exercise in experimentation. Given his recent declaration of lyrical dominance over the esteemed Kendrick Lamar, it feels as if Lupe is attempting to prove a point with “Apologetic.” After all, things are seldom what they seem where he is concerned.

Off the bat, it’s clear that Lupe is committing to the new creative direction, soaking his voice in autotune and flowing over a synth-heavy instrumental. In typical fashion, his bars remain focused, though masked ever so slightly by the distracting overall package. “Top-down coupe that breeze, it feel like woo, shoutout to my n**gas that’s on lockdown just like Roots,” he spits, riding the beat with a melodic flourish. “Locked around some lifers, they got snipers on the roof / Standin’ with that pole out, try to roll out, they gon’ shoot.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Top-down coupe that breeze, it feel like woo
Shoutout to my niggas that’s on lockdown just like Roots
Locked around some lifers, they got snipers on the roof
Standin’ with that pole out, try to roll out, they gon’ shoot
Top game to a player, ain’t no pimpin’ with a noose
Why you tie down hoes, they choosin’, let them bitches loose
OG told me tusslin’ over cuffin’ is for goofs
If you gon’ be out here hustlin’ stick it to the roots
Locate, lock down, loot up, lights on lock in, and produce
Albert Einstein, bitch, I’m in here cookin’ up a nuke
And if I drop a freestyle, bitch, I drop it off the roof
Fuck these niggas talkin’, bout how you gon’ lie to the truth?
Dynamic duo, nigga, I don’t walk around in groups
Just touched down Miami, Billy he good for the scoop
Nigga, come and get me, do the labor, pick the fruit
Real water, they’ll pop you for the juice
Tape tape, nigga

[Chorus]
I don’t Tik-Tok like a Cardi
I got kicked out of they party
They said that I was naughty
Tell them bitch-ass niggas I said sorry
Sorry I was born for this
Sorry I put on for this
Sorry I performed for this
I’m sorry you weren’t warned for this
That’s unfortunate, I’m sorry

[Verse 2]
I’m lying, nigga, fuck you niggas
Mama should’ve sucked you niggas
Then you wouldn’t be born for this
I hate you got to see it, but I love I get to be it
And that chopper look like World War 6
If a nigga wanna try it, pop it, cock it, fire, fire, fire
Major just like Really Doe
Feel me just like Gillie, bro
She put it up on tippy-toes and drop it down like 64’s
Milli just like six zeroes
Kill it like it’s serial
Put it down in six feet holes
Put that thing on video
And act like you in porn for this
Act like you in porn for this
Act like you was born for it
We don’t speak the same language like I was born foreign
I’m talking to the money like it’s more important
I tuned out because it got a little boring (My bad)

[Chorus]
I don’t Tik-Tok like a Cardi
I got kicked out of they party
They said that I was naughty
Tell them bitch-ass niggas I said sorry
Sorry I was born for this
Sorry I put on for this
Sorry I performed for this
I’m sorry you weren’t warned for this
That’s unfortunate, I’m sorry
