Love Lupe’s positive message in “The Show Goes On.” His way of expressing his art is believable because he lives and breathes it every day. 

[Verse 2]

One in the air for the people that ain’t here

Two in the air for the father that’s there

Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto

Four for the kids who don’t wanna be there

None for the n-ggas trying to hold them back

Five in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids thats living in the ghetto that the n-ggas holdin back that the World is theirs!

Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy

Terrified of the World

Now I’m on a World tour

I will give up everything, even start a world war

For these ghettos girls and boys im rapping round’ the World for!

Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland

Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy

Tell em’ look at me, boy!

I hope your son don’t have a gun and that would be a D-boy
