[Hook: Lupe Fiasco & Billy Blue]
I just keep it real n***a, fundamentals
If she ain't got no chill, give her fundamentals
She ain't got no problems, she got fundamentals
n***as need some dollars, they need fundamentals
G-code, G-code, G-code n***a, fundamentals
Keeping it a hunnid, that's so fundamental
If you ain't got no money, stick to fundamentals
That's the key to life, n***a, fundamentals
[Verse 1: Billy Blue]
Boy, I pick up when I call now stick to fundamentals
Playing with my gangstas, now that ain't the type of sh** I'm into
Ridin' with that .44 loaded, cause that sh**'s essential
Mess around me, I, n***a, squeeze a bullet in your temple
How you trapping? You ain't got no cash n***a
But you got them J's, you's a a** n***a
You ain't paying bills, ain't got no stash n***a
Your stupid a** ain't learned from the last n***a
Stick to fundamentals, key to life ain't sentimental
(?) governmental, that is not coincidental
Keep your life confidential, n***as watching incidentals
Making it past twenty one in my hood, that is monumental
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco & Billy Blue]
I just keep it real n***a, fundamentals
If she ain't got no chill, give her fundamentals
She ain't got no problems, she got fundamentals

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
May you die a d**h of like a hundred pistols
If you out here faking on your flex and being unofficial
Careful what you wear and where you are and who you running into
Think it's accidental then a n***a sent to come and get you
b**hes wanna play, I tell them it's essential
Tell that b**h don't say no more, be instrumental
Pull up in the car, it better not be no rental
Unless you out here serving, then my nig', continue
I can see it in you that you got potential
If you take the time, you will get credentials
We ain't got no patience for no imitations
Well, I know innovations see my demonstrations
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco & Billy Blue]
