It begins with a boom, bang bang, tap
tap and it had me at hello, versatile
verses spit form the soul, free forming
a flow that changes up with the tempo.
Tap tap bang, internal metaphor leaves
minds connecting and disconnecting,
moving and reforming thoughts
like puzzle pieces, the display
is rugged, a little image altering to
appeal to the streets, the beats boom
boom with the beats of my heart. Hard,
can’t hardly contain phrases of adoration
for what I am and what I can’t be, making
me appreciate the feeling. Alone, but
surrounded by sensual pleasures of the
pulse on my skin, aurally bombarded
by similes like a moth to a flame, like
water to the dry, like words to the deaf,
like me to you. It makes no sense but
it makes cents, put your all out for little
income, unless you go mainstream, but
from that river flows change, dupli-city,
difference. The boom gets bigger, they
tap tap more, and my heart only feels
the bang. The metaphor becomes money,
sex, and weed, or about moving keys, not
to the tunes of songs in A minor so the
song cries for more, but I can’t see it
coming down your eyes, and as it grows
and becomes known, it loses its soul,
obsession for more hoes, and clothes,
and gold, and things, and bling and
a stronger desire to be seen and sets the
scene for the masses, but what about
the fans, the lyrically driven not the
bass boom motivated, the intent listeners
of the double entendre, not the ones who
fall in line with the times. New flavor
only goes so far, the bass only booms
so hard before the speaker blows,
your chain can only hang so low
before you trip and hit the floor
and who you are has become
someone that I don’t know.

The Coolest-Lupe Fiasco
I didnt write this out myself, snatched it offline but I diiiid make not of my FAVORITE line =) Some words are a tad bit off..
I love the lord
But sometimes it's like that I love me more
I love the peace (piece) and I love the war
I love the seas and I love the shore
No love for no beach, baby that's loyal
But she doesnt sea (see), therefore I spar
I trip, I fall, run up in raw
I love her with all my heart
Every vein every vessel every bullet lodged
With every flower that I ever took apart
She said
That she would give me greatness
Status
Placement above the others
My face would grace covers of the magazines of the hustlers
Paper
The likes of which that I have never seen
Her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams
The purpose of our scene
An obscene obsession for the bling
She would be my queen, I could be her king
Together
She would make me cool
And we would both rule
Forever
And I would never feel pain
And never be without pleasure
Ever
Again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~
And if the rain stops, and everything's dry
She would cry
Just so I could drink the tears from her eyes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
She'll teach me how to fly
Even cushion my fall
If my engines ever stall
And I plummet from the sky
But she would keep me high
And if I ever die, she would commission monuments
On her bosom, to him
Or maybe she'd retire as well
A match made in Heaven set the fires in Hell
And I'll be
The coolest nigga wha
[x8]
Lord please have sympathy
And forgive Michael (My Cool)Young History as
The coolest nigga wha
[x4]
And so began our reign (rain)
The trinity
Her-n-I-cane (hurricane)
No weatherman could ever stand when her and I came
Hella hard
Umbrella whatever put plywood over Pella pains
And pray to god that the floods subside
Cause you gon' need a sub 'till he does reply
And not one of Jared's
You think it's all arid
And everythings irey
Anoth' supply
Which means a anoth' july inside my endless summer
That was just the eye of the unger
Felix
Cause he is
The cleanest
Amongst a
Younger
Outstanding achievein up-n-comers
The ones that had dead beat daddys and
Well to do mommas
But not well enough to keep em from us
The ones that were
Fightin in class
Who might not pass
Rap record pressured the laugh in a life not fast
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
Is what I got asked
Do I love her (do I love her)
Said I don't know
Streets got my heart, Game got my soul
One times with sunshine will never hurt your soul
Quote
To a crying dishonored baby momma whose a momma to a daughter that I had fathered from afar
My new lady gave me a Mercedes and a necklace with a solid gold key
Like the starter of a car
The opener of a door
Or two pounds of raw
You gave me a baby, but what about lately
Then ha ha ha ha ha'd
Right up in her face g
There's more fish in the sea
I'm on my mission to be be
The coolest nigga wha
Lord please have sympathy,
And forgive My Cool Young History as
The coolest nigga wha
Come, these are the tales of The Cool
Guaranteed to make you go and fail from your school
And seek unholy grails like a fool
And hang with the players of the pool
Fast talkin of the hustle
No Heaven up above you
No Hell underneath you
And no one will recieve thee
So shed no tear
When we're not here
And keep your faith
As we chase
I love the lord
But sometimes it's like that I love me more
I love the peace (piece) and I love the war
I love the seas and I love the shore
No love for no beach, baby that's loyal
But she doesnt sea (see), therefore I spar
