Paris, Tokyo Lyrics

Lyric discussion by posterr 

Cover art for Paris, Tokyo lyrics by Lupe Fiasco

the entire song has to do with Lupe having to leave his girl in order to make money as a rapper. he has to do months of traveling and international tours and really hates to leave her all the time.

"one time for your mom (should be mind)"

1st verse: explains how Lupe is receiving a phone call from his friend to travel to Japan to make money through a show. Lupe is ecstatic to leave and makes references:

"goyard trunk" - brand of bag "get ready to walk it out like UNK" - unk has a song called "walk it out" "John Lennon Chucks" - shoe brand

when he hears "murder", it is his girl calling to him saying she will be sad to see him go. he drops his bags faster than 180 miles/hour to dry his deer girl's tears. "you's the username to all my passwords" correction

2nd verse: Lupe is in the air plane explaining the luxury of it all.

to be continued, i have to go =)
