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

Yeah...[00:00:05]

Yeah...[00:00:09]

The cool.[00:00:12]

Turn me up[00:00:15]

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

Yeah..[00:00:17]

He came back[00:00:20]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't cry[00:01:14]

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

Making your moves[00:01:17]

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

Chasing the cool[00:01:20]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Decided to walk home[00:02:01]

So he..[00:02:02]

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

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

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

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

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

Don't cry[00:02:15]

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

Making your moves[00:02:18]

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

Chasing the cool[00:02:21]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't cry[00:03:16]

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

Making your moves[00:03:19]

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

Chasing the cool[00:03:22]
