Artist: Lupe Fiasco f/ Matt Mahaffey Album: Lasers Song: State Run Radio Typed by: PDog1217@aol.com [Intro - Matt Mahaffey] You must be, a radio station And who are we? We must be A number one song, spinnin all day long And over again, and over again, and over again, and over again, and over again And we know when, when we call in And nothing's free, sounds to me like State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio) State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run radio [Verse 1 - Lupe Fiasco] We interrupt this broadcast To bring you this special message about the forecast The future's cloudy and it's rainin on the poor class Road to peace is closed, heavy traffic on the war paths Love is ballin on a budget, the military's says it's gon' need more cash To keep fightin for your gas Keep us in our hoods and hope we never explore past, stay inside of your half Believe the lies you learned in your class That there's no treasure in your trash And the ceiling has the same feeling that the floor has And that's where you should stay This is what they play [Chorus - Matt Mahaffey] Over again, and over again, and over again, and over again, and over again And we know when, when we call in And nothing's free, sounds to me like State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio) State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run radio [Verse 2 - Lupe Fiasco] You're now tuned into the weakest, frequency of fear Keep you locked right here And hope you never leave this, never be a leader Think inside the box and follow all procedures Never ever believe that, you will never need this Hit up all your friends and tell 'em to repeat this "Hi, you're on the air, now what you want to hear? Well we ain't got the truth but how about a remix?" Different is never good, good is only what we pick You ain't got a hit, unless it sounds like these did Not too smart, you will be a superstar And if you dumb or something, maybe you could be number one [Chorus] [Verse 3 - Lupe Fiasco] So beware what's on the airwaves And be more aware of what's not gettin airplay Independent spirits, you can barely hear what they're sayin Truth ain't gettin on like shampoo on an airplane Propaganda's everywhere, constantly on replay All the hits, all the time, back to back on relay Where really where it lives, make 'em hear the records we play Build your own station, become your own DJ [Break - Matt Mahaffey] You must be, a radio station And who are we? We must be A number one song, spinnin all day long And you put me, in daily rotation You're on the air, we know you're scared But we don't care, we'll play this here [Outro - Matt Mahaffey] Over again, and over again, and over again, and over again, and over again And we know when, when we call in And nothing's free, sounds to me like State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio) State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run radio State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio) State run (radio), state run (radio), state run (radio), state run radio
