Baba Says Cool for Thought Lyrics
They thought it was cool to burn crosses in your front lawn as they hung you from trees in your backyard....
They thought it was cool to leave you thirsty and strand katrinaaa...
He thought it was cool to carry a gun in his classroom and open fire virginia tech columbine stop the violence
They thought it was cool to tare down the projects and put up million dollar condos gentrification
They think its cool to stand on the block hiding products in their socks making quick dime bag dollars
They think its cool to to ride down on you in blue and white unmarked cars bustin you upside yo head
Freeze....cause the problem is we think its cool too
Check your ingredients before you overdose on the cool

Smfh. Why do ya'll come on here to diss the songs? It's the art of spoken word which alot of people wouldn't understand; the emphasis put on certain words and the way she's speaking is for a purpose. It is a form of poetic expression. People are so desensitized to art and the meaning behind things from listening to the mind deteriorating rap crap that we hear everyday. I think its beautiful what she's saying...and I don't have a problem with the way she speaks.
so true
this girl is Lupe's sister
I agree, k.west. Man I'm gettin into the jam of the CD and this chick comes on and at first i'm like okay okay that's true but after a couple of times of listening to the CD i'm just like, gah can you please shut up.
Shit might be annoying to yall but its the truth. Hell a person who speaks bad can say this shit and ill agree 100% no matter how they say it. The album alone is bangin'.
That writing is littered with spelling mistakes and words missing from teh actual track...
Who is Katrina?
It's referring to Hurricane Katrina. "Leave you thirsty and strand, Katrina"

The government failed in bringing fresh water and other supplies to the victims of Katrina in New Orleans until days after the disaster.

park11 i dont know what track you was bumpin but if i was you i'd go cop the real deal and listen. Lol@Now knowing WHAT the fuck Katrina is or even not knowing the whole hurricane Katrina problem.
I don't like how she's recites it either, nor do I really like anyone citing "slam" poetry of any kind as most people use the same kind of voice intonations. However, when she gets to the end and says "before you overdose on the cool" I do think that part is actually pretty good and effective, and I guess that's the point.
I thought I was the only one who thought she was annoying. I also agree with what she is saying but cannot stand how she says katrinaaaaa. I have listened to this album more than 10 times and this is the only song I skip bc of her voice. With that said Lupe is still the best rapper hands down
"They thought it was cool to start ' slam poetrryyy' kill the movemnnnnt!". Lol
Who is the dreamer who fell asleep for the second half of 2007 and missed the katrina repotorts. The who've "george bush doesn't care about black ppl" courtesy of mr. Kanye west. And all the bullsh*t that the ppl went thru in new orleans.
WAKE UP!!!!
Ps. Lupe is the hottest lyricist of the 21st century.
