Ankhher Chords & Lyrics - Lupe Fiasco

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Balance
A drunken ground for my niggas
[C]But what if up was down for the liquor?
[Am]Then pour in something stiffer
Filter mud from the champagne on blood
[C]Might just milk a tub out my hand vein
[Am]Ivy league, I receive, Irie vibes
[C]What a dream! What I mean? Idealize
[Am]You see the storm brewing way up in the heaven
[C]A statue wouldn't mourn'em so I wake up to erect, damn
[Am]And the bed made of women
[C]Who came first with a head made of chickens?
[Am]Break the fast, break the mask on a egg-making mission
[C]With X-rated visions
[Am]And the glass
[C]I wish that I could live inside jazz
As hecklers shackle magpie
[Am]Note-blowing standard
Scat over improvised ragtime
[C]Red magic, dead rabbit, energize me back dime

[HOOK]
[Am]Feather me or let it be
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]Tether me or sever me
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]Definitely won’t set me free
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]No, she look like a set of keys
[C](My nigga, what's up?)

[VERSE 2]
[Am]May I die from a hand that is not black
[C]Lie down my crown where Mike Brown dropped at
[Am]At the spot where he was unchained
[C]To pour liquor on it and watch a King grow from the blood stains
[Am]Then hug him, I'm[C] just here, I a[Am]in't here to judge him
[C]I hear the jeers, the ch[Am]eers, I'm adjusted
[C]It's the day, it's judgement
(Ankh:hers)
[Am]For the sippers and the drinkers
[C]Lift her by the shoulders like hangers
[Am]Pterodactyls, there are damsels, in their fingers
[C]Ambulance chasers bad chance ain't no mash for the bangers
[Am]Ash with a bad hand, cash for the danger
[C]Bottom made of glass, shake that ass for the strangers
[Am]I'm on the wrath with the danglers, shaking my shaft
[C]You just bass to the anglers (hooked)
[Am]Drift to mausoleum, shackle my feet in 1919
[C]Hollerin' droppin' cosmopolitans on the crime scene
[Am]Xenophobian, hemoglobin soakin' on white queens
[C]Pale-face invaders to foreign devils and gaijin

[HOOK]
[Am]Feather me or let it be
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]Tether me or sever me
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]Definitely won’t set me free
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]No, she look like a set of keys
[C](My nigga, what's up?)

[VERSE 3]
[Am]Has the moon killed the sun yet?
[C]Over dim sum steamed bamboo basket bun sets
[Am]A brisk run to keep the lungs fresh
[C]Hung sweats on the radiator
Two shanks for the date rapers and baby tapers
[Am]Clear the vision with the spit inside the aviators
[C]Legit but quit because the lick promised them pits of paper
[Am]Will we eliminate the innovators?
[C]Will we commemorate the imitators?
[Am]You are now set tripping with eliminators
[C]Life givin' persimmons
So now your lemons persimmon flavored
[Am]Why you mixing different neighbors? Spike it
[C]Now the wrists are slitting razors
(Ankh:hers)
[Am]The benefits of red wine
[C]Drunken box thieves fighting bars to charge a dead mine
[Am]Iron wing Icarus, dip a bit, fly a Siamese chicken strips
[C]Well-designed to keep from liftin' shit

[HOOK]
[Am]Feather me or let it be
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]Tether me or sever me
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]Definitely won’t set me free
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
[Am]No, she look like a set of keys
[C](My nigga, what's up?)
