[Chorus]
This shit was all I know, You and me only
And I did it all for you, Still you were lonely
We coulda worked it out
Uhh, but i guess things change
Its funny how someone else’s success brings pain
When ya no longer involved that person has it all
And you just stuck standing there
But, I’m gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby
I’m gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby

[Timbaland]
Yeah,
ever since I’ve been long gone,
I traded in my senorita for a microphone,
I hate the way you fell apart girl, its sad to see,
your life is good but me and you it’s catastrophe,
if I was unsuccessful would you be satisfied,
I need a paramedic girl, I’m feeling paralysed,
if I could choose, you will always be a friend to me,
the more money I made you acting like my enemy,
its crazy, I can’t help it if you feel ashamed,
lots of pressure will turn you into my diamond babe,
how can something so familiar be so strange,
closest friends get estranged when the status change,
ahh, is it my mistake, think that where I am and where you at,
and my whole wild … is the only one that had my back,
you were the perfect girl, now it seems we don’t match,
is it the money, want me to give it back,

[Chorus]
This shit was all I know, You and me only
And I did it all for you, Still you were lonely
We coulda worked it out
Uhh, but i guess things change
Its funny how someone else’s success brings pain
When ya no longer involved that person has it all
And you just stuck standing there
But, I’m gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby
I’m gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby

[Drake]
Uhh, i am the topic of conversation, this a celebration
Lets toast to the fact that I moved out my momma basement
To a condo downtown because its all about location
I sit and drink wine and watch californication of life
You shoulda been here to kick it with me
We coulda split this whole thing up 50/50
But now i’m at the 40/40 getting bitches tipsy
Killing shit the ever so talented Mr Ripley
How I go from being the man that you argue with
To me and Dwayne Carter putting out the hottest shit
I should wanna go back to the one I started with
But I’m addicted to this life its gonna be hard to quit
Yeah, just ask me how things are coming along
You can tell me that you never heard none of my songs
Long as you end up saying one day you plan to listen
Cause whats a star when its most important fan is missing?

[Chorus]
This shit was all I know, You and me only
And I did it all for you, Still you were lonely
We coulda worked it out
Uhh, but i guess things change
Its funny how someone else’s success brings pain
When ya no longer involved that person has it all
And you just stuck standing there
But, I’m gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby
I’m gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby

tonight is like space invaders
there is nothing at work
the faces have become like traffic
multi-purpose conversation
i stand like a lighthouse
i have become a lighthouse
but if we met we would exhaust this place
and if you spoke then this world would short-circuit

say something
make it a direct hit
say something
make me never forget

i don't want to stand and compute
i want days and weeks to burst out of you
i am listening for dear life
i want you to talk like it's a breakthrough

(repeat first chorus)

Uh, we just gonna keep it goin' and goin',
until I feel completed and happy about it...You know?

Uh, Opus of a ghetto boy who grew into a project man
Brewster Place, he used to stick his scissors in his sockets damn,
clear that Project Runway, 'cause this is where my rocket lands,
ain’t got no problems, Houston, I A.K.A. then rocket land.
Events recent that lit a fire under him like pots and pans,
rockets and I (eye) up in the sky like helicopter cams...

And you down there in the traffic jam
from here I’ve seen a bunch of fake shit like avid wrestlin' fans...
Came up from the bottom of the eye exam ZOOM
Now I’m like the biggest G up in the room,
still hard to see me like the truth on TV
or the roof from the sidewalk, I don’t flo' (floor), I ceiling

My mama said they need me...
'cause, I’m made from the best stuff on earth like Snapple Tea Leaves,
they glass is half full so I spit into them like Celie,
no longer G, now you can see me
but your letter's still under my sea like seaweed
C and G but nothing bout me C-G, It’s all real, none of this is green screen...

"Shut Up and Let Me Go" just like The Ting Tings,
I’m feelin' like a Mac, standing around a bunch of PCs.
I’ve rocked it from the shouters to the soccer moms,
try to stop what’s going on...
you’ll see the back of my hand like the tops of palms,
I’m balling like the tops of pawns,
circle of influence getting bigger like the ripples on the tops of ponds.

Short-footed and War Headed like the tops of bombs,
http://www.elyricsworld.com/say_something_lyrics_lupe_fiasco.html
Domino-in n****'s, delivery is Papa John's, Little Ceaser‘s, uh,
burning down your Pizza Hut...
Plaque collection building 'cause, I don’t brush my teeth enough,
yeah, Crack is wack and reefer sucks, you might think this deep as fuck
but this like my weaker stuff,
they ask “Is this his day-to-day 'cause this is like a week to us?”

Mic is shy and speakers blush, I is shy (Chi) and he is up,
I correct, me is up - no we is up - cause its like two of me
and each of us, rappin' acid, eat this up,
A-Town down, peace is up, New York to East Coast is tough,
West Side ridin', lot of n****'s salty 'cause,
'cause I be overseas and tough.

Everything seamless, WorldStar never seen this,
NahRight gotta stream this, motherfuckin' genius!

Brave and fly, you backbone-less and wingless,
bunch of chickens on the strip, I’m coming for they fingers...
till what they throwin' up is meaningless...
Chilly Chill you seeing this? This didn’t make MTV’s list...

Finish fingers, eating wrist, feedin' frenzy and shit,
Succotash stuffering, Chicken-Frikasee'en this...
a beat eatin' media blitz,
pace is getting feverish, pain is growing Seaver-ish,
these the peppers Peter picked,
things are at their easiest, Real Compton city G’in it
but I’m from Chicago...house lights, bravooos!

*Applause*.... Yeah, I’m just playin'....Internet, check!

(Chorus)
This shit was all I knew,
you and me only,
I did it all for you,
still you were lonely,
we coulda worked it out,

uhh, but i guess things change,

Something like volcanic
You know it seems organic

Want me to speak on the word or two
It's the D-O-double-G
And I do it so lovingly
Diggin' this track by the Neptunes
Babygirl, follow me to the west room
Now get buck wild
Shhh, don't make a sound
I'll take you, lay you down
Make your body go round and round
Do you want me to
Don't say you won't
I know you do
Most girls play shy
It won't hurt until you give it a try
I know you like my smile
Dig my style, dig the bow-wow

But uh

Say something good to me

(Chorus)

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well
What are you concealing

Poker face carved in stone
Almost friends but all alone
Why do you hide?

Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
Whole lot of drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life

Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
I'm open, wide open, wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind

Intro:

The year is 1975 (yeah, hahaha!)
Brooklyn, New York City (stand up)
A child destined for greatness is born (we goin’ in)
Let’s go!

Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)
Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)

Chorus:
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What? What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…)

Say something, say something (what was that?)
Say something (I dare you), say something

Verse 1: Talib Kweli
The lord chief rocker, I’m colder than meatlockers
My people keep throwin’ it up like cheap vodka
I smack internet emcees and beat bloggers
You can see my black thought like ‘Riq Trotter
It’s deep – go ahead and sleep
They know in the street Kwe’ gon flow on the beat proper
Composin’ complete operas
Longer than a cigar thats godfather,
Tap into heart chakras im harder than gobstoppers
People comin’ for the throne not knowin’ the seat hotter
Than fish grease, criminal names on police blotters
You convinced me, I hit targets like top shottas
Out in the mideast like Muslims takin’ Shahada
I’m sayin’ makin’ a profit a product of Reaganomics
Awake and I’m stayin’ conscious to radio playin’ garbage, yeah
Blacksmith Music, if you don’t pay homage,
I’ma show you how we break an artist
That’s a threat, I’m not makin’ a promise
Speak to the people like Barak Obama
They worship like a black Madonna, c’mon
Niggas talk shit, but they ain’t got skills
I’m the type of nigga to put lead in your grill
Number two pencil is sharper to bruise mentals, and
Beatin’ in my chest is the heart of a true gentleman
Still spit right in your face
Fuck a Top 8, back up, gimme my space, you’re not safe

Yeah, they say I’m back, but I ain’t go nowhere though
Been here the whole time
Where you been? You back
Matter fact, apologize

Chorus:
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What? What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) C’mon

Say something (g’head), say something (uh huh)
Say something (what?) (who is it?) say something (Jean Grae!)

Verse 2: Jean Grae
Yeah, open your mouth, say something, I fuckin’ dare you
Chokin’ you out till you can’t suck any air through
Fuck with your man too, thinkin’ I can’t do what I plan to
Vet vandal, niggas are brand new
Ain’t knew I was bad news? Look at the tattoos
Get ran through like you was fingers through Sassoon
Horror chick in the bathroom, off the backstage room
Shit you couldn’t imagine, nigga I’ll harass you
I’ll Ras Kass you, soul on ice and body cast dude
Past due, Jean and Kwe the last two action heroes
Actually had the capacity to be the ones in a class of zeroes
Hip hop’s not dead, it was on vacation
We back, we bask in the confrontation
You can ask me, have any conversation
You talk shit, Blacksmith, Jean, I’m waitin’, nigga

Chorus:
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What? What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…) What?
Talk shit now (now…now…now…)

Say something (g’head), say something (what was that?)
Say something (I dare you), say something

Verse 3: Talib Kweli
We not fallin’ for your trick ‘cause your image is like a gimmick
Forget it, every rhyme is bitten, you like a mimic
I’m talkin’ to the lord and I’m askin’ him for forgiveness
Just for kickin’ niggas out the club like Michael Richards
Yeah, I admit, I’m guilty, the way I spit is filthy
I keep it gritty, so they get it, they feel me, the flow
Is known for touchin’ the soul of street hustlers
I speak in the language - you know I keep customers
The writing therapeutic, it’s due to the pain and sufferin’
While these dudes get it confused and abuse the creative substance
I’m givin’ you a contact high, my name buzzin
And I came in the game with nothin’, stop frontin’ nigga, talk shit now!

Outro:
The year of the Blacksmith is not defined by any calendar
Just thought I’d remind all you challengers
Get the name right, Talib Kweli, BKMC, stand up!

Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)
Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)

I won't say anything cos I don't mean it
won't make a promise cos I won't keep it
believe me now, I'd only lie to you

well I've said that thought a thousand times
I believe in something that I can't find
so believe me now, I'd only lie to you

now won't you say something
please say something
and believe me now, I'd only lie to you

I spend my time collecting all these scars
and I know I'm, lying by the truth that's in your charm
I hope down inside, I can't be what I'm not

well I've said that thought a thousand times
I believe in something that I can't find
so believe me now, I'd only lie to you

now won't you say something
please say something
and believe me now, I'd only lie to you

now won't you say something
please say something
and believe me now, I'd only lie to you

If it's worth your while
Say something, say something
If it's worth your while
Say something good to me
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
If it's worth your while
Do something good to me
