Lupe Fiasco - Penz & The Needlz lyrics

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] Before I start, like to make sure I'm smart Gather my composure, rather my swagger and my culture Pivot my fitted, then begin to rivet, with a change of lyric In other words, I reposition how I sit it Then make you feel it like I mispronounced "filet," On second thought, I can't make you fill it Like you digging ya own grave, 'less you can "k** Bill" it A night of the living pa**ed away Can you dig it? Why Em-cee? 'Ey I do it for my village The pennin' is John Lennon, the beat is the Beatles Go together like Lenin and The People In some fresh linens and some John Lennon's fresh outta Segal's The pen and the needles [Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] I'm back at 'cha, and I pack like cap backwards Like a hat's backwards, you know, when the back's backwards Yeah, like a bat catcher's The law got a long arm like a back scratcher But before I leave mine at home Like a bad catcher, I think about my zone Where the pimps make scratch off the track like a DJ Easy! That's my zone rappers It's my deck And if I catch you set trippin' with my ca**ette sittin' then it's on rappers It's not a threat Cause it'll span ya where I roam rappers, where I hone my sk**s They wanna send me back home, the Devil -- is on my heels They writing this thing like in the sequences The police, I repeat We go together like the Beauty and the Beast Writin' is in my veins The ink is the diesel, the pen and the needles [Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco] The word is mightier than the sword And my serve is tidier than yours Like year in St. Louis, ya whole flow I fear I sank through it It all became clear Like a paramedic with an electric chest kit, yeah! The gravity of the vocabulary is a caliber equal to Excalibur Swung with the grace of Aga**i in his amateurs, there There was a deeper depth, don't know how I got here I also had a hole in my flow It appears I sank to it My swing, it couldn't be seen I apply some paint to it, the invisible man Wrapped in bandages, in critical, CLEAR! The scriptin' is Scorsese, the score is Count Basie We go together like the original and the sequel This is the end of the trilogy, ya feelin' me? The pen and the needles
