Cover art for Spraypaint and Ink Pens lyrics by Lupe Fiasco

The first verse to me seems a bit delusional, too. after listening to the song a bit more, it sounds like the guy just got a job making deliveries or something "Ran packs across town like /rhyme CDs, big chains, new clothes, nikes and reeboks/" or the lines 'no more 'cross town.' now he's crossin' them states,' though really he'd only walked 4 blocks.

No he dident walk four blocks to the drug deal... i believe he is saying after he got shot he tried to get away but only got 4 blocks before he collasped and died. not that he was only 4 blocks away
