Lupe Fiasco- Mean & Vicious

Mean & Vicious
Lyrics:
uh
He's meannnnnn
and vicious
I cant believe hes that rude
To those stories those rhymes that jew
Then he put 'em on the floor like cat food
And put 'em on the track like glue
Then put 'em on your head like hat
Hey back to you lou black power
Im just running with a barrel full of black powder
Wita hole in it hole in it wheezin deep, breathin
Running from the fire on the trail i keep leavin
I cant shake it i swear its heat seekin
I keep seekin somewhere to hide from it i can die from it
But it keep keepin up just when i think that ive done it
It keep sneakin up
Ohh leakin barrel of black powder how that flame keep reachin us
Just one of the long rended extended metaphors alose
This time I use an example of a fuse
to demonstrate how i cant lose
I would put it down but i cant due to the glue
that i use the fuse everything together
well i spill some on my hands
and God Damn i might have to carry this forever
Well im crazy to the game till they bury me insane
Chorus:
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was prone to bang
doing his thangg doin his thang
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was known to bang like
doing his thangg doin his thang
Truthfully I have trouble with second versus
Cuz the first one be so intimidating
It'd be bullyin' and pickin on it instigatin
pointin out all the second ones limitations
like you aint nothing but an imitation
like bitcha bakin then it gets the chorus
and the beat to together then they gang up on him and get to hatin
but then around the 8th bar he tired
so they conspire and comiseratin then he fin' his inspiration
to spar he takes a few seconds of judo lessons
gets back on beat then punches the guitar
they stand in awe like when did you write that
they even right black
first verse already happened
so he don' have a chance to fight back
i like that
Abagnale Junior check me
you gon respect me
a 8 track listen to em feelin himself
swagger up and a few ad libs to back it up
lets back it up
i think youve had enough
give me my mic back
you aint even write that
oh its like that?
track stop pumpin till this nigga stop frontin
yeah yeah now right back
Chorus:
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was prone to bang
doing his thangg doin his thang
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was known to bang like
doing his thangg doin his thang
Oh my god
my perils in my odds
I aint really here what you hear is a mirage
This aint the delivery baby this is just Lamaze
The ice cream and pickles tickle and a massage
The king author of the knight eldibage
the camafouge water in the distance
loggin a camel to get there wit the quickness
mean and vicious
grinch who stole christmas and hid it in the garage
there was a collage a barrage that brought all things to help this thing start
jump jump, my battery charge
im bout my green like string beans and beans from ma's
its a mean thing to be seen with ours
got that f&f homie im a young lil thriller
i will resurrect homie come back for my killa
in some disheveled apparel with that same leakin' barrel insane
Chorus:
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was prone to bang
doing his thangg doin his thang
There once was a boy that grew up on the west side Of chicago
Liked his hat to the left side
Wasn't in a gang but he was known to bang like
doing his thangg doin his thang
its meaaannnnnn
and vicious

Wish this track was on spotify
dude so deep he makes his own verses fight each other.
"The King Author, rhythm of the night, El DeBarge" That is just sick.
verse 2, greatest thing ive ever heard. verse 1 second and verse 3 3rd. my top 10 are all from lupe songs. ppl you have no idea what lupe just did here. there are about 12 Literary principles in this song. the similes, metaphors,personification,paradigms,imagery,parallelism,juxtapositions,syllepsises,irony, rhyme scheme,and aphorisms are just a few, all found in this song..lol not many eng proffesrs can evn write anthng that has that many principles of literature in it. Borderline Genious.

The cool saga will forever be the greatest rap story told ever Lupe is too underrated. I'm really hoping him and Kendrick & Ab-soul do a track together

Adrienne Soto He said he has trouble writing second verses because he doesn't want to clone his first verse and wants to do better, so at about around the 8th bar he finally does then proceeds to write a 3rd. His verses are actually quite simple to understand... Maybe you just weren't trying.

that 2nd verse is such a beast!
One of the most lyrically complex hip-hop songs ever....
I have great difficulty believing you have trouble with second verses at all sir.

Bro, funny shit, he gets better as it goes you already know. Literally no lyricist more under rated that him. Real, real!!!!
Lupe Fiasco is the only rapper who can make a second verse like this.
"I'm bout my green like string beans and beings from Mars*"
the fact he ended the song talkin about that barrel of black powder from the begining blows my mind, amazing song
yeh I heard mean and vicious...

That part
The first several bars of the 2nd verse is the best piece of lyricism I've ever heard in my life. Lasers - 45 days
This song needlessly incredible-I cant turn it off!
and a few adlibs to back it up...damn that was genius
dis nigha is so smart...its crazy even the shit he puts out on mainstream is still sick....i like that cuz he aint gonna water his shit down jus to make sum money... lupe is in my top 5 no doubt
Album is timeless, this song phenomenal.👏👏👏
its sick that this is amazing and hes gotten to even greater heights!!!!
Nice, he's growing on me. And, he's right, second verses are pure EVIL to write. XD Thanks for uploading/sharing! :)
This shit is legendary
That's what makes him so tight. Both of those actually fit... if infact you account that lima beans are green, he may have been talking about that. He definitely is mean & vicious...
@THEALLSTARMLB2009 Frankly Lupe's metaphors and lyrics aren't due to his lack of maturation or whatever you're trying to imply, he refuses to dumb down his songs which he already has done quite a bit(and they still go over people's heads). I personally would not want him to make his lyrics easier I love finding the double meanings and hidden context in his songs.
#MASTAPIECE2023 And It's ST!LL 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
1 Month late and shit, but for the sake of future viewers. This track is from the FREE mixtape titled "Revenge of the Nerds" and you can download it for FREE via datpiff (google it nigga, it ain't hard).
mate every verse is sick!smashed it
“I’m bout my green like green beans and beams from Mars”
Im about my green like string beans and beings from mars… so on point
This man was talking about how he raps about how he raps
"The Instrumental" is pretty lyrically challenging to comprehend.
This aint the delivery baby this is just Lamaze!
I wish someone made a Lupe Fiasco Dictionary lyrics so sick
Mean and vicious and switch..best lupe songs
truthfully i have trouble wit second verses cause da first one be so intimidating they be bullying and pickin on it instigating pointing out all its second ones limitations like, u aint nuttin but a imitation like, bit of baking then he gets the chorus and the beat to togther then they all gang up on him and get to hating... Damn He's a fukin genius!
Five people have no taste. Even if this song is over your head, you can't deny how fun it is to listen to.
by far his best track
yes lupe. in 2016
Your mind is blown
Monstrous.
This is just Lupe doing his thang
Top 5 dead or Alive...easily the best to ever come out of Chicago.
Man tbat 2nd verse is absolutely ridiculous
@tahir10bosna I take Judo as well... kicking and punching are involved, it's called 'Atemi-waza', which is when you focus on striking the vital points for instant take down opposed to using grapples.
best 2nd verse i ever heard in my life
Classic
It was on Fahrenheit 1/15 Part II: Revenge of the Nerds, it was a mixtape.
dis dude the truth
the second version is even better lupe is and will always be my favorite rapper
love that last part
yo i swear it seems like this song was on every lupe mixtape b4 Food&(or)Liquor
People that don't like lupe have à problematic brain

This aint the delivery baby this is just Lamaze The ice cream and pickles tickle and a massage He's saying this isn't even his delivery (his official album) (like delivering a baby) this is just a preview (like Lamaze) the ice cream and pickles tickle and a massage (like the cravings pregnant women get for things like that) Lupe is so smart! HAHAHA.
i love the beat
the entire first verse is just raw
Wow...
Lol da boys a beast can't wait for laser's.
damn my fave yo!!!!
TAKING A POLL......CLICK THUMBS UP FOR SLIM SHADY OR THUMBS DOWN FOR LUPE FIASCO ...WHO IS BETTER LYRICALLY ???
@cisseusa123 Ya bro....But "Glory" is my favorite song EVER. "The truth...is limitless in it's range/ If you, drop a "T" and look at it in reverse, it could hurt" But we can all agree that Lupe deserves ALOT more respect then he currently he has. :)
this guy
this song is tight
that blew my mind
The first verse gets me!
DAYUM
@ZaviahIV Although i agree with some of your points, his flow isn't the best, but multi-syllabe rhymes are always present with this guy, and all the things he said ARE there, in addition to a lot of wordplay and subtle double-meanings. A lot of rappers utilize those, but almost none do it as well as Lupe. And he is Borderline Genius.
@AvvRham wow ice been taken judo for almost 2 years now and i havent heard about that. thanks for informing me
Liked his hat to the lef side, my man
This sound like a timberland beat!
when i hear a lupe beat i write the craziest lyrics and make freestyles to it i might drop some
my brain is about to self-destruct!!! LMAO
this is pre-F&L1... we'll probably never get this Lu back
He completely destroyed this!
It's about extentions because he says extended earlier in the verse, and black powder is gun powder I believe, although I'm sure Lupe was using it as a metaphor for something else. That's the thing about Lupe's music, you gotta listen to every word and remember what he said to understand the rest of the song, and it's usually left somewhat open for interpretation. He uses alot of double meanings. Lupe's a genius but he's so complex you gotta be in a real analytical mood to even listen to it. 1
its "bits of bacon" bacon bits imitation bacon. love that line :D
at first i thought the second verse was my favorite, than after a while i decided the first verse was my favorite..i didnt even realize the song had a third verse for a while
everyone watch mtv movie awards 2011 on 9th of june, lupe is performing there
@PowShredder801 My fav MC. haha Listened to every song and freestyle. I like "Shining Down" too cause it's just so good.
HIP HOP BABY
few corrections on lyrics... 1) Wita (hole in it hole in it) wheezin deep, ---hole in it holdin it 2) I keep seekin somewhere to hide from it (i can die from it ) --- duck and dive from it 3)Just one of the long rended extended metaphors (alose) --- o' Lu's 4) like (bitcha bakin) then it gets the chorus --- bits of bacon {the fake bacon brand} but yeah, one of Lu's nastiest songs lyrically as far as metaphor continuity, 2nd verse was just...sick, describing the verse as he's rhyming it...quality
Still listening
Love Lupe, amazes me with each listen.Ii wanted to ask all Lupe fans if they'd heard Saul Williams. He's not very well known, but is also a great literary genius like Lupe. Check him out
@disneyruler1 Yeah, Immortal Tech, Apathy, Celph Titled, and Ill Bill.
If lupe fiasco goes to much over your head that doesnt mean your not intelligent or dumb it jst means your not used to thinkin that hard about what artist say therefore there lyrics are simple compared to Lupe's #Truth
@XxBeelzeBubxX Look I never said anything about Eminem being older so he can't rap I said he matured and started to see life in a different way. I never implyed that he should dumb down his songs or that he will not be a great rapper when he reaches age 38. I think Lupe is one of the best rappers around and I hope he continues to rap for as long as he can.
got damn that 2nd verse is so ill
AWWWWW SHIT YEA! THIS IS SO FUCKIN BOMB ONE OF THOSE SONGS YOU JUST CANT PLAY LOUD ENOUGH
oh gosh people the barrel methaphor ain't hard to interpret...the "trail he is leaving" is his lyrical ability, so that wherever he raps his lyrics always leave an impression on people who listen and the "fire" he is talkin about is the fame or fans that follow him whenever he drops his lyrics. and he mentions the 'glue" which says that he won't be able to stop being the lyrical genius that he is because he can't put down the "barrel"... quite simple!
The second Eminem and Nas die, Lupe will become the greatest rapper alive.
The official mixtape that this song is on is.. Fahrenheit 1/15 Part 2: Revenge Of The Nerds.
@PowShredder801 listen to "Gotta Eat" and "Failure". "Failure" is literally a piece of art. Just beautiful. The list just goes on. Even "Lupe The Killa" has tons of wordplay.
NIGGUH I SEE U ON EVERY VIDEO WDF
@freshprince58 yo, this comment seriously made me smile. You pointed out many attributes from the pen and pad then makes a real MC. Rappers = Metaphors and Simile's. MC's = Lupe.
Verse 2: "like you ain't nothing but an imitation like bits of bacon then it gets to the chorus"
wow i dunno wats more impressive, lupe's lyrics or u acutally figuering it out. impressive man
