Intro Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Food and liquor stores rest
on every corner
From 45th and State to
the last standing Henry Horner
[F]J&J's, pale chicken,
good finger [Am]lickin
While they sin, gin,
[F]sin sin at Roth[Am]schild and Lynnwood Liquors
The winos crooked stagger
Meets the high stride of the youth
searchin for the truth
They rebel and raise hell across alleyways
and in classroom settings
They get, high off that drum
bass and 20 20 rims
They rock braids,
[F]Air Force Ones and Timbs
[Am]They drink Hennessy,
Hypnotiq and 40's
They call they women hoes,
bust downs and shorties
They keep funeral homes in business and
gunshot wards of hospitals full
Prisons packed,
bubblin over in brown sugar
[F]They keep [Am]empty, Westside lots crowded,
hype's powdered
The well is running dry,
the days of Malcolm and Martin have ended
Our [F]hope has descended
and off to the side
[Am]Waiting for the reinstallment of
the revolution
Because we are dying [F]at the
cost of our [Am]own pollution
But God has another solution,
that has evolved from the hood
I [F]present one who turn[Am]s,
the Fiasco to good

[Verse 2]
A'uzu billahi min ash [F]shaitani [Am]r
[F]rajimi
Bismi 'llahi 'r- rahmani 'r-
[Am]rahim
[F]Dedicated, to my grandmother
Peace! And much love to [Am]you
YEAH!! And it [F]start
[Am]1st and, 15, proudly present
You know what it [F]is[Am][F]
[Am]See. I got this philosophy right
I think the world,
[F]and everything in it
Is made up of a mix, of two [Am]things
You got your good, y'know,
and [F]your bad
You got [Am]your food, [F]and your liq[Am]uor
That's right. Chilly [F]Chill!
You already know,
[Am]it's a long time comin
I give you [F]my.[Am][F]
[Am]I give you my heart
My soul, my [F]mind my thoughts, my feelings
My [Am]experience, nuttin more,
and nuttin less
[F]Yes, [Am]FNF, [F]uh- huh! So[Am]
With no further [F]ado...
[Am]Lupe Fiasco's, "Food & Liquor"
