個人履歷
原名Wasalu Muhammad Jaco出生芝加哥,是家裡九位兄弟姊妹中最小的成員,父親為非洲籍鼓手,母親為美食大廚,對於Hip Hop音樂的喜愛獲得家裡支持,早在上中學的時候就熱衷於饒舌表演,以東岸街頭詩人Nas為目標,其專輯It Was Written給了Lupe莫大震撼與影響。中學畢業後先是組團Da Pak並簽約於Sony廠牌旗下的Epic,不久解散後又因和Jay-Z合作單曲被L.A. Reid相中並簽入BMG廠牌旗下的Arista,不過他個人事業的發展卻並不順利,一直充當著小角色,直到和主流大廠Atlantic唱片簽約,在公司極為重視下全心著手籌備他的個人專輯。值得一提的是,雖然是Hip Hop歌手,但信奉伊斯蘭教的Lupe,卻遵守教規不去Club、不抽菸喝酒,成為樂壇的異類人物。
歌詞內容

演唱者:Lupe Fiasco
(Kane is in the building, nigga)
(Let's go)
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We drink so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
Have you ever had the feelin' that you was bein' had?
Don't that shit there make you mad? They treat you like a slave
Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back
They be lyin' through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path
I don't switch up, I just laugh, put my kicks up on they desk
Unaffected by they threats, then get busy on they ass
See, that how that Chi-town made me, that's how my daddy raised me
That glitterin' may not be gold, don't let nobody play me
If you are my homeboy, you'll never have to pay me
Go'n and put your hands up, when times is hard, you stand up
L-u-p the man, cuz, the brand that the fans trust
So even if they ban us, they'll never slow my plans up
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
One in the air for the people 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 that don't wanna be there
None for the niggas tryna hold them back
Five in the air for the teachers not scared
To tell those kids that's livin' in the ghetto
That the niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs
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 ghetto girls and boys I'm rappin' '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 never be a d-boy
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
So no matter what been through, no matter what you into
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher
Raise 'em 'til your arms tired, let 'em know you here
That you struggling, survivin', that you gon' persevere
Ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' home
Even if they turn the lights out, the show is goin' on
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on
