You Are Here Lyrics

[Intro]
(Where are you now?)
(Where are you now?)
(Where are you now?)
You are here!

[Hook]
Let me in your super-future
Up, up, and away
Super-duper!
Tell me right now where you moved the
Where are you now?
Let me in your super-future
Up, up, and away
Super-duper!
Tell me right now where you moved the
Where are you now?

[Verse 1]
Mind state
Critical
Metaphysical weight
Of the world
Or your soul is at stake
Break under the pressure
Tethered to your mistakes
Safe under the feathers
Falling off of the face
Planet
Landing
Yeah right on top of your fate
Look at it in the eyes
Tell it goodbye straight?
Yell it into the sky
Tell em' your irate
You're not irie
Nothing is ok
Mushroom cloud
Blow everything away
It's much too loud
All that sound you play
Champion lightning coming down today
Your synthesized living your giving is too late
On time
Authenticity's online
Put everything that I have up on mine
Don't look right in the light
You'll go blind
You don't look right in the night
You don’t shine!
[Hook]
Let me in your super-future
Up, up, and away
Super-duper!
Tell me right now where you moved the
Where are you now?
Let me in your super-future
Up, up, and away
Super-duper!
Tell me right now where you moved the
Where are you now?

[Verse 2]
Resonate
Resilience
Never break
Detonate
Fragility
Devastate
Aww, look at now it’s all broke
Look at it!!!
All of the shit that you called dope!!!
You’re picking up all of the pieces of it off of the floor
Dirty
Ewwww
Look it
It’s so gross
So close
Like Glen or next to him
I'm sorry but no smoke
Also I don't pose
But I threaten your status quo
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
You are here!
Let me in your super-future
Up, up, and away
Super-duper!
Tell me right now where you moved the
Where are you now?
Let me in your super-future
Up, up, and away
Super-duper!
Tell me right now where you moved the
Where are you now?

Genius Annotation

Lupe Fiasco

The title to ‘You Are Here’ comes from the map in the mall. It’s about finding yourself, like you go to the mall, [look at the map], and you find yourself. ‘You Are Here’ was actually done for the Twilight movie. I did ‘You Are Here’ when we did ‘Solar Midnight.’ And when the Twilight people approached us to make a song, I was just in the heat of making Japanese Cartoon. So when they brought it, I was like, ‘I’m not going to do a rap record.
