| Lupe Fiasco – The Cool Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Just a correction on "was he shook, was it the shame?" should be "wasn't shooked, wasn't ashamed" A gangsta dies 6 months ago. Then this story begins. After 6 months of decay this gangsta somehow gains consciousness. He digs his way up through the earth, and he thinks only a few hours passed by. Then he goes to a train station to go to his home, but people are repulsed by his decayed body. Then he sparks up a blunt, the fire shows his reflection, and he sees his corpse self and brains but was somehow unaffected by his appearance and goes to his hometown to sell some crack, but some kids tried to sell him crack instead. Not noticing who it was, the same guy who killed him held a gun to his head and asked him "you scared, ain't ya", and the corpse replied "hustler for death, no heaven for a gansta" which I think means where he went wasn't heaven so when he died he had nowhere to go. If someone could clarify that would be great. Also, what exactly is "the cool"? is it chasing the goal of what is to be considered "cool" among peers? helluva song though. |
