[00:00:01] Lupe Fiasco - The Cool

[00:00:05] Yeah...

[00:00:09] Yeah...

[00:00:12] The cool.

[00:00:15] Turn me up

[00:00:16] Uh-huh..

[00:00:17] Yeah..

[00:00:20] He came back

[00:00:21] In the same suit that he was buried in

[00:00:23] Similar to the one his grand father was married in

[00:00:25] Yes... he was still fresh to death

[00:00:28] Bling, two ear-rings, a chain laying on his chest

[00:00:30] He still had it cuz they couldn't find it

[00:00:32] And the bullets from his enemies sat like two inches behind it

[00:00:35] Smelled the Hennesy from when his niggas got reminded

[00:00:38] And poured out liquor in his memory, he didn't mind it, But...

[00:00:41] He couldn't sip it fast enough

[00:00:43] So the liquor was just filling the casket up

[00:00:45] Floating down by his feet was the letter from his sister

[00:00:48] Second Grade hand-writing simply read "I miss ya"

[00:00:51] Suit jacket pocket held his baby daughter's picture

[00:00:53] Right next to it one of his man's stuck a swisher

[00:00:56] He had a notion as he laid there soaking

[00:00:58] Saw that the latch was broken, he kicked his casket open

[00:01:01] And he...

[00:01:01] This life goes passing you by

[00:01:04] It might go fast if you lie

[00:01:06] You go and you live then you die...

[00:01:10] O-oh-oh-ohh

[00:01:12] If life goes passing you by

[00:01:14] Don't cry

[00:01:15] If you breaking the rules

[00:01:17] Making your moves

[00:01:18] Paying your dues...

[00:01:20] Chasing the cool

[00:01:22] Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface

[00:01:24] Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with

[00:01:26] He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it

[00:01:29] And when he couldn't dirt spit... swollowed it

[00:01:31] Working like a.. hmm.. reverse archaeologist

[00:01:34] Except.. his buried treasure was sunshine

[00:01:37] So when some shined through a hole that he had drove

[00:01:39] It reflected off the gold and almost made son blind

[00:01:41] He grabbed on to some grass, he climbed

[00:01:44] Pulled himself up out of his own grave and looked at the time

[00:01:47] On the watch that had stopped six months after the shots

[00:01:49] That had got him in the box wringing Henny out his socks

[00:01:52] Figured it was hours because he wasn't older

[00:01:54] Used some flowers to brush the dirt up off his shoulders - so..

[00:01:57] With a right hand that was all bones and no reason to stay

[00:02:01] Decided to walk home

[00:02:02] So he..

[00:02:03] This life goes passing you by

[00:02:05] It might go fast if you lie

[00:02:07] You go and you live then you die...

[00:02:11] O-oh-oh-ohh

[00:02:13] If life goes passing you by

[00:02:15] Don't cry

[00:02:16] If you breaking the rules

[00:02:18] Making your moves

[00:02:19] Paying your dues...

[00:02:21] Chasing the cool

[00:02:23] He begged for some change to get him on a train

[00:02:25] "Damn that ni**a stank", is what they complained

[00:02:27] Tried to light the blunt but it burst into flames

[00:02:30] Caught the reflection in the window of what he became

[00:02:32] A long look... Wasn't shook, wasn't ashamed

[00:02:35] Matter fact only thing on his brain was brains.. yeah

[00:02:38] And getting back in his lane, doing his thang

[00:02:41] First he had to find something to slang

[00:02:43] Next stop was his block

[00:02:44] It had the same cops

[00:02:45] Walked right past the same spot where he was shot

[00:02:48] Shocked that some lil' niggas tried to sell him rocks

[00:02:50] It just felt weird being on the opposite

[00:02:53] They figured that he wasn't from there

[00:02:54] So they pulled out and robbed him

[00:02:56] With the same gun they shot him with

[00:02:58] Put it to his head and said "You scared ain't ya?"

[00:03:01] He said: "Hustler for death. No heaven for a gangsta."

[00:03:03] This life goes passing you by

[00:03:06] It might go fast if you lie

[00:03:08] You go and you live then you die...

[00:03:12] O-oh-oh-ohh

[00:03:13] If life goes passing you by

[00:03:16] Don't cry

[00:03:17] If you breaking the rules

[00:03:19] Making your moves

[00:03:20] Paying your dues...

[00:03:22] Chasing the cool
