Lupe Fiasco - Sun God Sam & The California Drug Deals Lyrics

The ways the slaves cry in the Adlibs so dope so Ill

Lupe is an alien!!!

sooooooooooo dope

“That’s Not Chronic, Condone Islamic, And It’s Haunted (Boom).”

Hearing Lupe At His Best, Makes Me Want To Go That Much Harder, With Getting Better At Writing, And Instrumental Composition.

It Should Be Illegal To Be This Damn Great!!!!

Bless You Lupe!!!

Hypnotizing, haunting...jeez

Lupe is a conscious mumble rapper, idk wtf he is talking about

Sorry but this song is the weakest lyrically

I only follow escorts now cause they sneak into the programs

hardest lupe track lupe is the goat of lyrics

Anybody got the beat to this?

Whites get whiter in the cold....... And colors (coloreds) don't fade in the bleach (HAA)

Every time I come back and listen to this I get stuck. I have to listen to it at least 5-6 times every time. So much to digest. Even when you have heard 100 times before. A masterpiece

Isn't it sad that people don't know this album exists? Lupe is so underrated

"Days a iPod 2 da Amish" is a good way 2 describe dis song.🔥🔥🔥

Ok now im trippin like wft... lol
3rd verse CRAZY

The drop for the third verse will forever bang hard

This Song is Soooo Underappreciated💯

That 3rd verse.... Wow.. Shyt cheating lol

I reeeeaaaalllly need a lupe x cambatta collab

This should have and probably does have waaaaaayyyy more plays and listens on different platforms! Sunset so long....

When one track from a genius destroys your whole discography (music career).

Compose yourself, like a self-aware opera, conjurer
In the zone like Sonic, to produce me
A sign of the end times in time
To make profit off the t-shirts (shirts)
And monetize all our research and leave Earth feet first
Breech, behold (behold)
Whites get whiter in the cold (cold)
And colors don't fade in the bleach, hah
Applause, then fall through a man-made self
Talking to a doll at the pancake house (house)
Then bring the light sabers
So bring the lampshades out, mood
To say something lewd on the news
And move like views on a cruise
And fuse like the Q's and the U's

Ah ooh 
Ah ooh

Which side are you on?
We're getting warmer
'Cause I can't hold on
Are you close to me?
Sunset so long
Can you call me?
'Cause I lost my phone
Should I wait for you
Or should I go home? I can't function
These drugs are too strong
I'm seeing stars now
But I'm still unknown
Out here alone, sunset so long

Mates for life, chillin' life space with ice
High as a cape, snakes hiss 
Like air at the Sinclair
When you put it in their face like skin care
But they'll just egg 'em on like a hen chair
I've done that, I've been there
This a comeback, lemme unpack
And unwrap souvenirs
Free as a speech on a untap
Flat like time on the run
Why you bring a holster to a gun rack?
That's the alpha and omega
That's the Vodka and the vomit
Why you playing soccer with the Sonics?
That's a iPod to the Amish
You should get involved with the honest
Where everything's honored like Elijah Muhammad
Mixed with a pint of
Hooked on phonics
Let's be liars
That's not chronic, condone Islamic, and it's haunted (boom)

Which side are you on?
We're getting warmer
And I can't hold on
Are you close to me?
Sunset so long
Can you call me?
'Cause I lost my phone
Should I wait for you?
Or should I go home? I can't function
These drugs are too strong (strong)

Sun God Sam and the California drug deals
Rain drop Wayne and the Bangkok love bills, hard
She knows that I'm crooked like Owen
But still goin' like a paradox
Parasite, know it ain't right
Where the fan, now? 
She knows that I'm horny like Triceratops ('Ceratops)
Together, but separated like a pair of socks, wow
Like pot, using both hands
And his head is the oath
I only follow with escorts now, call it sticking to the program
Fucking all the police, addicted to the pole dance
Come here like Pol Pot
You love it over here like gold watch (gold watch)
I would treat the box like it's UPS
I would treat the box like a sneaker head
If you shake and throw it like a match with a cigarette
Then drop it like a match on a gas trail
Fix another round for the mob, you the bomb
Like Jihad, up and down 
To the guard to the back fell
Still wanna 
Put my meat up in your V like I'm Maxwell (Maxwell)
Stick a fork in it, dawg, it's important to y'all
But it's pork in it, so it ain't important at all
So underground, laying with a torch in the hall
When unfortunate calls from the horoscope, cards and the fortunes and balls
Outfit so small, saw a portion of drawers
Career slide off the track and put the Porsche in the wall
Like skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt

Which side are you on?
We're getting warmer
'Cause I can't hold on
Are you close to me?
Sunset so long
Can you call me?
'Cause I lost my phone
Should I wait for you?
Or should I go home? I can't function 
These drugs are too strong
I'm seeing stars now
But I'm still unknown
Out here alone
Sunset so long, long

Jonathan Macek third verse is wrong

"Wow, like Pac using both hands, and his head is O"

Pac thru up WestSide. Two W's and his head is the O. wow

Fucking master class in lyrical mastery

This song is perfect on all levels imo

even though i dont totaly understand the lyrics everything about this song is dope!!! cold ass lyrics well atleast the ones i get the transistions everything!!!

This track is something else, dang!!!😃

IT ANGERS ME, DAMN NEAR YO, HOW UNDERAPPRECIATED, UNHEARD, & UNRECOGNIZED THIS SONG IS YO. THE ALBUM TOO. MOST DEFINITELY YO. BUT THIS PARTICULAR JOINT YO?!

GOOOOOD NIGHT YO. THIS AN EXCLUSIVELY EXCLUSIVE JOINT, LUPE. WORD.

I played this when I was in NaNa Plaza, Bangkok.

My favorite hip hop track period!

Lupe better than lil Boosie

Monetize all the research

2:54 the beat drops

" WOW " ....like Pac using both hands and his head is "O "

best song to float away

Move like views on a cruise

Lupe is officially the GREATEST... JEEZUS LOL

You love it over here like gold watch! Yea Yea she love it ova here!!

One of the most underrated duos.

the beat switch made me jump out my damn window

“Khamer like pol pot”- WHAT

Pol Pot was a dictator over Khmer ("Come here")

Classic misdirection.

Look, Doom, Mickey Earl and some others are great. But show me someone with this kind of prowess for so long. If you only had to go by paper and pen, Lupe is eons ahead of EVERYONE. Not ONE of the best, THE best

Big facts e money....Bruh iont even see the debate

Daylyt and Aesop Rock are some of the only others Id put up there with Lupe.

@O'Neill Gallagarcia 🤣😂🤣😂

In the car, with my windows rolled all the way down - always to this song!

Marvelous lyrics.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/drogas-wave/1424725375

29 people accidentally hit dislike instead of like thats weird either that or they're def

I get some serious Aesop Rock vibes from the last verse

Real ones know the greatest album of the decade.. Fuck grammys let us make the DAMN-ie
s for astonishing bodies of work

Sam I Am 🌞🙏✨💫

Such a good song.. oh my god

Still bumpin in my car in 2019

ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE. This is going in the time capsule.

Lupe is the G.O.A.T

There’s something about this song... I can’t listening to it

🔥 🙌

Wow, like pac using both hands and his head is the O

I get Aquatic vibes when i listen to this, like you’re floating underwater

One of the few songs that are listenable on this album.

@Trust The Shooters cause YOU said "of songs off the last album that were elite"... Drogas light was an album (though it didn't feel/sound like 1). That was the album before Drogas wave aka "the last album". So if tracks off that were elite...well...just wanted to make sure I understood your reference point. No issues here...just making sure bruh

@Manny I don't worship false idols, sorry

@Andrew Ogundele Light was only 14 tracks, 1 being a 2 year old song. A guest verse from a cop, had to edit that out. And felt more like a thrown together album than a real one. Especially following T&Youth.

@Trust The Shooters Meaning ?

@Manny exactly

She knows I'm horny like triceratops, together. We separated like a pair of socks.

Can we please get an instrumental

For my 💰. Greatest rapper ever.

She knows that im Horny like Triceratops, together but seperated like a pair of socks, WOW, like Pac using both hands (throwin up Westside)...and his head is the "O" Gott damn Lu🔥🔥

🐐🐐🐐

holy shit i just got that line that's a crazy bar

Damn cuh that’s ill

When i tell folks that Lupe is the best lyricist we have these days, and they counter me with mainstreams rappers i just smh...😧 Lupe has blessed us with this album. This album is deeper than anything mumble rappers or Migos/Lil anybody type rappers can ever hope to mess with

This is the coldest song I've heard in a long time.

That third verse tho...Absolutely legendary.

Josh Hernandez whole song fam. Whole album...... Hell, whole career legendary

I'ma treat the box like ah sneaker head! I'm dead

He killed anything eminem could do with that last verse...i still like shady tho!....king lupe 👑

Lupe would destroy em

lupe would erase Eminem

lol eminem is an overrated lyricist. He is super skillful, one of the best in clever rhyming and schemes but that doesn't make him lyricist. Lupe can fly over our heads every two lines ahaha literally Lupe is on another level

Marinos Pittali there’s different levels to lyricism. Eminem is an intricate punch line rapper, I can count on one hand rappers that can construct lines and syllables together like him and his breathing control is insane. Lupe is a metaphor, analogy, simile monster.. he’s virtually untouchable when he’s on and he creates visual that it takes sometimes years to decipher. Head to head Lupe got him but Eminem is legit a rap god, in my opinion top 15 all time, based on longevity alone

2:52 jesus christ! 🔥

"I would treat the box like Its UPS, I would treat the box like a sneakerhead, if you shaking throw it like a match with a cigarette, & drop it like a match on a gas trail- YO, THIS IS THE SLICKEST WAY TO ASK FOR SOME SEX EVER

Free as a speech on an untapped 🔥

Brung it back wit nikki jean on the track!!! 👌👌

God sends somebody to be the best in his representation and he’s a figment that’s reps the best talent lyrically in the game. To anyone that sells their soul or works with the devil in their raps that denounce God you have lupe reping for the Christians, Muslims and Jews and all believers and it’s such a shame how far out he is from every one. Someone said it best in the post he’s at the top on a category of his own

Just another hidden 💎 by Lupe

That would be true if diamonds were actually rare. As for Lupe well now... Yes his a rarity.

One of the goats in my view... , just listen...then repeat

LMAO. "JUST LISTEN...THEN REPEAT" YO. ABSOLUTE BEST ADVICE FOR BEING INTRODUCED TO THIS JOINT YO. WORD.

Lol that internet dial tone tho 😅

Ike Deleon some people too young to remember that when you actually had to plug the phone cord in the computer to get a connection 😂😂😂😂

Still wanna put my meat up in ya V like a Maxwell, stick a fork in it dawg it's important to y'all but it's pork in so it ain't important at all......just had me feel it with the Maxwell's reference

@Jacob Ekberg see my comment. It's a famous meat for hot dogs in chicago. A famous grease joint named Maxwell st is famous for serving polish sausages here. The symbol is a V with a sausage in the middle

@Ricardo Palomino no doubt, i'm not disputing you.. i'm adding on that it also could work as a double entendre "still wanna put my meat up in ya V like I'm Maxwell" where the V is the vagina.

"porking" = sex. Even more layers

Tommy Goss go to Chicago and ask where maxwell street polish is and get one. It'll change your life

how does he breathe on the third verse

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Holy fucking third verse. Unreal

Legend has it, if you put a seashell up to your ear you will hear DROGAS WAVE

theGeneral208 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes! Especially a black conch

Like that ill give it a try👍

Bar: “She NOSE that I’m CROOKED like OWEN” Owen Wilson has a crooked nose 🤯

She also nose that im horny like triceratops

Alex Lizarbe A tie-in to the Waves concept. Good reach.

oh no you didn't

Van Downbytheriver right? nose/knows Owen/owin’ 🤯

Come here like Pol Pot.
You’ll love it over here like gold watch.
I would treat the box like it's UPS, I would treat the box like a sneakerhead.
If you shake and throw it like a match with a cigarette
Then drop it like a match on a gas trail. 🔥🔥🔥

there is so much to unpack
it seems this song is about a female that he has doing dirt for him.
verse 1
1. he meets her at a waffle house where they hit it off" the lightsaber is his dick and the lamp shade is the condom.
2. then they "fuse like Qs and Us"
verse 2
then he gains her trust on (verse 2). where he asks her " why are you bringing a holster to a gun rack" thats like an " ipod to the amish"
all unnecessary and no need to fight whats real
and tells her he is honored and honest like elijah muhammed.
verse 3
even though shes doing all these wild things for him she still makes him horny
"i would treat the box (pussy) like ups"
she messes with the dirty cops " its pork in it , so its not important at all', so he wont fully commit.
...but maybe im reading too deep

"Come here" (Khmer) like Pol Pot. Sheesh

sorry but that’s corny as hell, it better be layered or I’m considering it a trash line

Alex Macdon clearly you have no idea who the khmer Marxist Pol pot was. You should read more

playaflyJOE27 Yeah I changed my mind, I figure Lupe is a lot more layered with his similes, but on rap genius they always under analyze him. Cause if this line was only some corny wordplay, I’d be pissed off

playaflyJOE27 same thing the crooked nose owen wilson line 🙄

Alex Macdon sometimes you have to know what to Lu is saying without reading a reference cause it'll hit you differently. Lu ain't never hit us wit dumb shit. Everything he says has meaning. Rap genius ain't shit cause sometimes they put the wrong damn words in there 😂😂

“And fuse like Q’s and the U’s”

Unique
Oblique
Queue
Quilt
Quit
Quiet
And on and on.....

BuckMarley damn.

BuckMarley 😱😱😱. Dizzamn Smh Lupe is a fuckin genius

BuckMarley That’s Insane!!!

Goddamn Lupe, Just Killing Everything With His Lyricism!!!

The Game and The Streets version of Bonnie and Clyde

I need this bast boosted... Anyone?

Oh... Lupe!!! This is so dooope! 🔥

"she knows (nose) that i'm crooked like Owen" 👍🏾👍🏾

Corey Holley knows (nose) / owin’ (Owen)

" Like an IPOD to the Amish "

Where everything honoured like Elijah Mohamed!!

brandon moran “Mixed With A Pint of”

It Sounds Like He Says Pontiff, Though The Lyrics Read As Above.

Kendrick is not deep. THIS IS DEEP. Lupes music needs to be decoded.

dakidjahsiah smh that's the fuckin truth. I'm not a dumb person at all. But with some of Lupe songs I be cheating going to look up the breakdowns of some of his lyrics. His wordplay is the craftiest I've ever listened to

You know what I tried to tell a friend this..🧐

​@Bishop85 Kendrick's concepts are layered within his albums.His albums tackles more than his roots of his ethical group. Once he decides the concept for his song, he breaks it down into his verses. Listen to song "Good kid" and it showcase supreme lyricism(2nd verse still gives me chills).

Songs like Sing About Me and The Blacker the Berry are prime examples of his talents. One of a kind landmarks that show his songwriting ability.

Just adding to post. Any thoughts?

Best lyricists in the game right now daylyt, Lupe, kdot and king los

@Bishop85 Good one... 🤣

This song needs more views man..so DOPE!!🔥💯

10 ppl came from Joe Budden podcast to hate ic.



Yes I know Joe & Lu are actually cool

This album is a blessing.

Stop it Lupe just stop it! This don't make no sense your bars need a barcode with them geez!!!

Thank you. Blessings received.

top 3 on album are:
1. Wav Files
2. Sun God Sam
3. Down
thank you for this gift lupe ive been listening every day since it came out. i cant listen to anything else

What about Stack that Cheese??? That's one of my favorites

Gotta throw Cripple in there

@All Me I can't help but hear LOYALTY with Kendrick and Rhi

Wade with us
baptize and convert to the waves with us

This Is A Certified Hood Classic Absolutely!!!

My Top Three Tracks As Well!!!

This song is a message. Lupe is the king.

What is the message. Ive probably listened to the entire album 30+ times but this song is obtuse as fuck to me

Link the choruses like he said in mural jr... seems like you’ll get the message

This instrumental is so freaking amazing!!!
