Poor Decisions Lyrics - Lupe Fiasco

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Damn 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

All my little homies up in prison 

I'mma let you know just how I'm livin' 

I can tell you' bout the Mach Five 

I can show you what them blocks buy 

I can tell you 'bout my block ties 

I can take you to the far side 

Poor decision makin' plagued you niggas' lives 

You sellin' crack up on your momma porch 

While she still goin' through her new divorce 

He has a thrill as he raise his voice 

When he really needs to raise his boys 

Young thugs with so much talent 

Young thugs havin' no balance 

Young niggas havin' no fathers 

Young niggas catchin' dope charges 

Growin' up she say she felt alone 

Now she strippin' for that pot of gold 

Another fish in the bowl 

They say her mother never played her role 

I heard her mother always on the roll 

Her mother always wearin' gold 

Where I'm from I guess that's how it goes

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Damn 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

All my little homies up in prison 

Lupe gotta tell 'em how you livin' 

The Beloved T-Rex says 

Grown man bars is somethin' you gotta deal with 

Whole hand cards but nothin' that you can build with 

That sound like bullshit from out a bull mouth 

Even the tepee is a full house 

Simple shelter keep you out the cold 

If you hold it close together, we'll never fold 

Why you lettin' the devil beat you out your soul 

You don't believe in God then at least believe in odds 

This house of our is just a house of cards 

Just without the yards, and nice adjacent parks 

We was born black but that shit'll make you dark 

Even with a handful of hearts 

Mind on the club just to find a little love, my regards 

Cause when your P-O-V is poverty 

It's like D-O-C a lottery, that D-O-C be lock and key 

Finna D-O-P-E bob and weave 

And the boxer boxin' free 

Up out them rings like it was Rocky 3 

Caught up in the game now 

Look at how we came out like olly olly oxen free 

That ain't why they watchin' me, yeah, yeah 

Poor decider since like 4, 5 or sugar coated, colored edibles 

Instead of buildin' up a habit in them vegetables 

Now early 30s, my blood pressure's incredible 

Medical, yeah nigga I'm tellin' you 

Coveting cars over community 

Rappers influence your shootin' sprees 

Turn around and publish bars like it ain't got shit to do with me 

Easy to record so ruthlessly 

Rich niggas 

Photos 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Rich niggas makin' poor decisions 

Can't tell you 'bout that H dude 

But I'll tell you 'bout this hate dude 

And I'll show you where they raise a tool 

I have a nigga late for the labels or the latest shoes 

I'm from an era where gold trinkets could buy attention 

And the hoes thinking might blow your winky for a known emblem 

Label whores that'll fuck a sale and suck a store 

Lust apparel, who dream of Rolls, but can't Accord 

Or afford, a Dodge, or a Ford 

Where she end up on your knob cause she has never been adored 

Lord help us, my generation come to an end 

Cause we all selfish, but livin' shallow, how we gon' swim? 

I mean really why should I pretend? 

Walk a day up in my tennis; my soul is possessed 

I'm reppin' my set, no matter who posin' against 

Once I got hot, they only good option to vent 

Aye Ricky I'mma flip the mission 

How 'bout poor niggas makin' rich decisions? 

Poor niggas makin' rich decisions 

That shit right there is more efficient 

I think that might be a better description 

Poor niggas makin' rich decisions 

Can't afford 'em but you still gon' get 'em 

That's a poor nigga making rich decisions 

Buyin' jewelry but you know you're vision 

Yeah! 

On a mission 

Yeah!
