Life, Death & Love From San Francisco Lyrics - Friend Of The People - Lupe Fiasco

she said love is a hard thing 

somewhere between golfing and gardening 

or parole board pardoning 

but she was still down for a hard swing 

flowers she would pick like guitar strings 

for a real good whiff 

of how life behind par seems 

until then she a bar-teend 

and poor hot lead shots out of carbines 

if an inmate ever even think about departing 

before it's time for the theft of a hard thing 

wanna see what a bum riding bar dreams 

before he get gunned down, cause some sharp scene 

saw it all on the way to the art scene 

around the time they kicked us out, they had the park cleaned 

she ain't living in a car she just rv-ing 

life on ice like the san jose shark team 

hard times, tryna duck em like darkwing 

known for burning clothes and petty car-keying 

and other less harmful skylarking 

bought a bag out of american rag 

a small chinese-made american flag 

took a dollar bill then split it in half 

the picture that she bought wouldn't fit in the cab 

on the train trying her best not to live in the past 

a bum probably asked could he spit in her ass 

and that was it, fits, tantrums random 

helter-skelter, a world gone manson

and i'll spare you the details 

dinner is ceviche out of seashells 

annoyed cause her date really can't speak well 

but she forced to press on like lee nails 

next table was abhored by the weed smell 

she was done at the moment that the tea fell 

a thick wool jacket on a cool night 

unimpressed by poems or the moonlight 

doesn't satisfy her like a game of pool might 

thinking "what if fantasia had a broom strike?" 

tuned right out of that school life 

soon as reality became a camera crew and a boom mic 

so what do you do like? 

she said "absurd last words from a dude off a zoosk site" 

and then left him 

like the roots left geffen 

and the state howlin' wolf left chess in 

stop to watch flows have an unpaid session on the steps of a westin 

she really need to check in 

and to apologize to her best friend 

new bras to put her chest in 

love life and death in...
