A couple of weeks ago, Lupe Fiasco’s sophomore album, The Cool, dropped. I haven’t heard all of it yet. I really need to listen to the whole thing soon. Its been advertised as a response to all that "ignorant sh*t" out there. One of the tracks getting some playing time is called Superstar. Here is a snippet.
Floetry:
Yeah, uh
A fresh cool young Lu'
Tryna' catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Wanna' believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?
Well ya' name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?
YOU! The more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you, you come too
And then it hit me
Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe
Too much of a new comer and too un-cool
Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit' it well
Tho I need holiday like lady who sung "Blue"
Go back, whatever you did you undo
Heavy as heaven
The devil on me, two ton's too
Taken from Superstar by Lupe Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos
