I'm Beaming Lyrics
Today, nobody cares
But tomorrow they will, they will
Today, nobody cares
But, oh, tomorrow they will, they will
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I’m beamin’
(We are) They used to talk
When I wasn’t around (Lasers)
You see me now (We’re not)
(Losers) I’m beamin’
I get my energy from my inner G
I be in outer space, but I got inner peace
So tell my enemies that they can’t injure me
I know that irritates, you have my sympathies
Well, you should protest, yeah, you should picket me
I’m on a losing strike, I’m on a winning streak
I’m out in left field, I’m speaking mentally
But that’s a better places than where the benches be
I’m feelin’ really good, me and my different beat
Me and my different drummer, he play the timpanis
See, that’s what got me here, you hearin’ me
Me on my black man in the future shit, call me Billy Dee
See, I’m just forward-looking, that’s how I really see
See, while you Valentimes, I’m thinking Christmas trees
And that’s how this would be, even at Mickey D’s
Semicolon, close parentheses
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I’m beamin’
They used to talk
When I wasn’t around
You see me now
I’m beamin’
Do you remember me, the guy from verse one?
Failure’s my last name, Never’s my first one
You see I hood a lot, and yeah I nerd some
Hood’s where the heart is, nerd’s where the words from
Don’t represent either, because I merged them
‘S kids who wanna leave, and I encourage them
Go out and see the world, never return from
Yeah, you don’t come back, unless you learn some
And baby girl, what does it matter where your purse from?
Your hurr done, your nails did, your ass fat, but you’re dumb
Mix Melyssa Ford with Maya Angelou
Become a top model and Sojourner too
I try to follow this, what Muhammad do
It’s such a old soul inside the sonic youth
Swear I’m Ferrari’d up, and I’m conscious, too
I don’t prophesize: I promise you
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I’m beamin’
They used to talk
When I wasn’t around (Lasers)
You see me now (Ha)
I’m beamin’
Yeah, it’s me again, the guy from verse two
Well, this the last one, it’s almost curfew
It’s almost night out, so turn your lights on
Where all my 760s, witcha brights on?
Yeah, they are the ones to keep your eyes on
Like how we used to do, to keep the house warm
Now those the type of eyes, I not cry from
You see the tears of fire run out my cryin’ songs
Now the world’s shoulders is what we cryin’ on
The world’s fast lane is what I’m drivin’ on
What am I driving at? I’m tryna drive it home
I’m in the driver’s seat, but you can ride along
‘Cause never cyclops, it’s never I alone
I’m tellin’ your story wherever I perform
Now if they lookin’ for me, tell ‘em I’ve gone
Out in the bright lights, right where I belong
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I’m beamin’
They used to talk
When I wasn’t around
You see me now
I’m beamin’
But tomorrow they will, they will
Today, nobody cares
But, oh, tomorrow they will, they will
You see me now?
Just look around
I’m beamin’
When I wasn’t around (Lasers)
You see me now (We’re not)

This was leaked on purpose, so its going to be on the album
I really like the line "I get my energy from my inner G" Lupe has said the reason he isnt going to retire just yet is because he found a purpose. That purpose is spreading a positive message to the people through his music. He wasnt sure about the rap game but now he is reached an inner peace and that gives him the energy to keep on going
I Translated thisssssssssss Shout out to Lupeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Lolzzzzz Artist of the YEAR
Ah! Someone beat me to the lyrics! Touche sir.
"Failure's my last name, Never's my first one" Could that be a reference to Drake on his song "Forever" when he says: "Last name ever, first name greatest" ?
Well not necessarily. Lupe's last name fiasco actually means failure and when he found out he kept it to remind him of his mistake
Well not necessarily. Lupe's last name fiasco actually means failure and when he found out he kept it to remind him of his mistake
Lupe is M.O.R! "Last name ever, first name greatest" ? "Last name Forever, First Name Greatest" so yeah, he mirrored it on purpose.
This song is about how you don't have to be what other people think you should be or have to act as they think you do. That you can be YOU and you can be new different and unique. People may talk bad about you when you are doing it. But in the end you will ALWAYS be better than them.
just caught this one: "it's never cyclops, it's never I/eye alone"
lupe delivers as always
Gutted it was leaked, it might not be on the album now.
