Still rocking this joint in November 2023!!! ❤

[@Ayplus]

This song almost brought tears to my eyes one time. Its 2 real. Only ppl who know the ghetto can relate.

This !!!!! 9 years later

LUPE FIASCO IS THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME. (THIS HAS BEEN A PSA)

[@zarenj21]

I knew it, its the same sample as Common's "The Light(2008)". I heard the guitar in the background and i was like i knew it.

[@zaka6933]

that first verse had the greatest opening line to any verse. ever

[@douglyfe5926]

calm down lol

[@alfredosauce96]

no he's kind of right lol,

[@bonapresmidi]

Danny Brown - EWNESW first verse has the best opening line 😉

Summer 2024

[@marckristian81]

I heard this on college radio weeks before food and liquor dropped. It's even more relevant now than it was then.

[@jakdariipa]

thumbs up if this shoulda been on the official album!!

[@tyhairston5397]

One of my favorite songs by him 💯💯💯💯

[@77mpickett]

This beat was Sooo Cold, and the message was so profound.

[@stephen234124]

he's just so intricate with his rhymes that it can reach out to anybody, bad thing is you seldom hear him on the radio, so less people listen too him, it's too deep for the party list, which isn't a bad thing at all

[@PloiAm]

is there a more lyrically underrated hip hop song than this? No.

[@MrMacDog]

Man i love these smooth Lupe, Kanye and Common songs. Does anyone have any recommendations?

[@SolidSnake240]

i know man, it's a shame that there's still alot of people that don't recognize how talented Lupe is.

[@maxmontreality]

Lupe is the best thing going in hip hop right now. Mainstream or Underground. Most of his mixtapes are just as good as his albums.

[@Aris2k]

Lupe is underated. this is a great song

[@Sushityphoon01]

now that lupe is off atlantic, hopefully he can go back to makin tracks like this.

[@lilllwizzzle]

its a damn shame this mans retiring. he's a lyrical mastermind

[@freedomkahlo3124]

no MC has ever made better poetry

[@Shawnmyrelle]

This takes me back to the days I walked the tracks at 3pm or at 3am in Detroit. Man being young was definitely better back in the early 2000s. At least then there was a freedom and no risk of being all over social media. This song takes me back- but I'm in college now and this degree not going to get itself.

[@spaceepandaa]

I feel you on that bruh, I'm an undergraduate now and I do miss the 2000s when everything felt simpler

[@Treetops27]

*mid 2000s

[@Shawnmyrelle]

***** mid 2000s = 2020-2050 in there.

[@Treetops27]

2000s=2000-2009. mid-00s = 2004-2006

[@Shawnmyrelle]

***** how are you rounding this?

[@TheArcCommunity]

My head just starts dancing on its own, when i play this SONG MAN.

[@MiaAlien]

top 5 Lupe songs for me

[@BallinLefty3]

Now that I think of it... in most of his songs... Lupe takes old skool rap songs meanings, and flows with it on some New Skool rap beats....

[@CeddyNash]

this is why i mess with lupe dawg

[@NBAChrisPaul]

one of the best rappers the world has ever seen ! very gifted, he keeps the rap alive

[@jakdariipa]

"for the comin of the carpenter" lOl the way Lu flip shit shit is ill

[@FrankKnightMusic]

I love his music this what we lack

[@constancemason2782]

A Steppers Jam Still playing this

[@SEECH7cornishgrimemovement]

LUPE IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN ONE CONCIUS RAPPER THAN DOESNT SOUND TOO PREACHY I HATE THAT PREACHING HIPHOP BUT LUPE ELEVATED IT ON ANOTHER LEVEL

[@mohammadamrkhan3243]

+SEECH7 I think Immortal Technique does a good job as well. The major difference between them is that Lu has a lot of deeper meanings that can be extracted from his songs while Technique gets the point across without being preachy. Give him a shot.

[@mmckoy24]

Lupe Fiasco proves that Conscious or Underground music > Party or Mainstream music

[@JoeydaButcher]

Chi-Town love Lupe is that dude love his shit real hip-hop..

[@cfoBROOK.]

Steady MOB’in. #ClassicLu.

[@qmurray]

Loved this song by him I can ride to this in my car on repeat 🔂

[@EatRiceDangit]

one of his best songs

[@footballlove26]

lupe is legit the best.

[@hiphopisntdead]

well I'm glad that Lupe isn't gonna retire yet The Great American Rap Album in June 2009, two following albums in December 2009 and June 2010, with LupE.N.D. following afterward.

[@PowShredder801]

Wow....all i gotta say.....Lupe is the realest rapper alive

[@TheMagicGurl]

WOW very good song neva heard it before +I'm lovin it+

[@bul3]

Reminds me of my past..good song..

[@gb4double]

it's a funny thing but I actually have to hear this song every now and then... like once a month... been that way since getting the album when it came out...

[@SpliFFFFFFF]

SICK!, this beet is amazing. at first i was like "i dunno, kinda dirty" but i gave it a chance and im glad i did. This song is great! Lupe 4eva

[@SistaBlunt]

yeeah i hear u! i listen 2 this wenever im stressed an it calmz me RIIGHT down lol xoxo S.B

[@k1awdttt]

Cruising to the sweet tune.

[@Threepointstar]

" why do the good die young, why ain't there no cure for cancer"

[@HS32153]

He should of saved this for F&L. This is classic Lupe!

[@MaxxD510]

It don't get any realer than this. If I was to write a book or something it'll be based off this song right here

[@tashalee20001]

Magical Lyrics Lupe !! Luv ya to bits

[@restedy]

this message is so true

[@oefster]

nuff respect from the netherlands!!

[@boodaguy]

@stockton209kid its a good thing that lupe isnt mainstream enough, the moment he gets too mainstream his music will just get worst and worst. mainstream kills good music, because the moment rappers get a taste of it they either just want more and more and cant get enough, or they get stuck in it n stop producing good music. mainstream is all about the money, the message or lyrical quality dont mean shit anymore once you hit it big

[@Therealrufiolombardi]

lupe speak the truth all da time dis some good shit

[@MalikCM]

This is the same beat in The light 2008(it's love) by Common. Check it out!

[@drmad21]

Goodness what a great rap song!!

[@krimzee]

i guess it must be natural for people to dislike things they dont understand

[@lightmajor1]

Beautiful.

[@xXUrbanCamoXx]

I heard that originally he was gonna retire after making LupEND but then I heard hes gonna come out with three albums before LupEND and one of the albums is called Lasers. anyone kno if this is tru?cuz Lupe my fav artist and id hate it if he retired, considerin hes one of the few GOOD (yet strangely underrated) artist out right now

[@magicmc23]

the begining is so live!

[@jakdariipa]

@tmaccome This was on the "first" version of Food & Liquor. Then the album got leaked and he damn near re-did the whole album.

[@fredmagic09]

Lupe THE Fiasco!!!!

[@krob41]

this is beautiful

[@EatRiceDangit]

sick song

[@wmsproductions]

This record is great-Monroe

[@TheColdHeartedSoul]

@Ev0lAnnA hahah i got an eye for that!!well of course we all need money and most of us would do the same as he did but there are always 2 sides and im sure he dont like lasers but he had to do it cos he need the money,its like a job you dont like but you have to do it!! thanks the name is actually taken from the Blu and Exile songs,if you like lupe im sure you will like their album too!!besides the music is nice to talk with you,cos usually especially the hip hop heads if you dont agree with

[@SoSunnyV]

shit dawg... who else got goosebumps?

[@kylepatillo6619]

greatest song ever

[@cjtabb2]

@gottalovetonic It should register a like for every second of the song. I like this song x 352...sounds about right

[@marvmoney9453]

Classic lupe

[@mdil123]

they ask is this his day to day cause tihs is like a week to us

[@funkee10]

I don't like this kind of hip hop music..i prefear old skool cuts and hard hip hop but this track is dope! i like it very much...great artist Lupe Fiasco!

[@tashalee20001]

I LUV IT

[@trangman1980]

SOmeone PLEASE tell me sho sings the verse. and whether or not it was sampled from another song? I love the rap but I also want to buy the song where the verse came from.

[@V3RS4TYLEas3V3R]

@LupeF0rLife14 i agree man. wayne has lyrical skill he jus does nothing with it. lupe on the other hand is delivering a message

[@flyasasatellite]

i love these lyrics :D

[@thereelj-reel7021]

I need this song how can I get it it’s not Apple Music

[@charlesgassi560]

I can't download this jam on itunes, amazon or cdbaby. I can't find any straight-up fly tunes.

[@AvvRham]

@lahij Lowkey is Fire, All love for that Artist.. But Lu [in my opinion] is number one.

[@TJSpiffz]

Im pretty sure this beat is sampled from Consequence - Pretty Little Sexy Mama..

[@teezy50]

@SolidSnake240 and his mixtape had sum real deep lines and references

[@francoggggg]

Got some big fish to fry like Marlins. damn he's dope

[@marckristian81]

it was dropped off of the first album

[@stockton209kid]

thumbs up if you think lu is not mainstream enough

[@antuannh]

RIP NIPSEY

[@xXUrbanCamoXx]

AfuzzAmro is rite. the mixtape with this song is called "It Was Written"

[@ninjahuh]

Seein' with my ghetto eyes I walkeded with my ghetto feet I talkeded with my ghetto speech I'm copasetic, I won't let it bring me down Bring me down... SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE PEACE & LOVE

[@TheColdHeartedSoul]

@Ev0lAnnA Hahah,i gotte admit the idea with mute and reading the lyrics is really good youre one smart girl :D ill do that!!but still take any of 50 cent album when its gangsta rap and tell lupe to do the same he would do a better gangstarap album then 50 or any rapper because he is versatile he dont need to do an hip pop album to be versatile hes songs are always very random its never the same!!the point of lupe doing LASERS is money,its not like he did what he want!!

[@Dvviggy]

@Crazypimpin310 what does smh mean? I hear a lot of my friends say that on facebook

[@outwestinc]

It's from the original Food & Liquor.

[@k8675309j]

Why cant i get this on itunes?

[@Kceedude]

@funnyrock1112 "enemy of the state"

[@Beatmasta92]

it is

[@Dvviggy]

@Mr60610 Nas is great but he is a little older, talib kweli is also really great, just go on pandora radio type in "lupe fiasco, kanye, or common" and it will play similar songs

[@Adriangrosvenor]

@kexim08 Yes I like that, this is real music here,

[@atamarie21]

maan why didn't he put joints like this on his last album????????????

[@nyj373]

@SparksMentalz what sample is this?

[@andy_hay]

Around my way

[@mrmaximum1001]

they should get rid of the dislike button in my opinion

[@morgantheron1]

yea i heard lupEND was supposed to be a 3 part albulm but im pretty sure he scratched that and we are lasers is gonna be his last albulm...only thing i think we might here from lupe after lasers is CRS...hopefully

[@Deejydeej]

hell yeh .

[@funnyrock1112]

@Kceedude which mixtape?
