The Coolest

[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
The Coolest nigga what (repeat 8x)


The Coolest nigga what (repeat 8x)
Lord please have sympathy
And forgive Michael Young History as
The Coolest nigga what (repeat 4x)


[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]
I love the Lord
But sometimes it's like that I love me more
I love the peace
And I love the war
I love the seas
And I love the shore
No love for no beach
Baby, that's law
But she doesn't see, therefore I spoil
I trick, 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
Stat-us, placement above the others
My face would grace covers
Of the magazines of the hustlers
Paper, the likes of which that I had never seen
Her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams
The purpose of our scene
A 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 can drink the tears from her eyes
She'd 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


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
The Coolest nigga what (repeat 4x)
Lord please have sympathy
And forgive Michael Young History as
The Coolest nigga what (repeat 4x)


[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco]
And so began our reign
The Trinity, her and I can
No weather man could ever stand
Where her and I came
Hella hard
Umbrella whatever
Put plywood or with 'peller panes
And pray to God that the flood subside
Cause you gonna need a sub till he does reply
And not one of Jared's
You think it's all arid
And e'eryting's ivory
Another supply
That means another July
Inside my endless summer
That was just the eye of the Unger
Felix
Cause he is the cleanest among the
Younger, outstanding achieving up-and-comers
The ones that had deadbeat daddies
And well to do mamas
But not well enough to keep 'em from us
The ones that were fightin' in class
Who might not pass
Rap record pressured to laugh
At a life no fast
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
That's when 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 my sunshine will never hurt ya soul
Quote, to a cryin' dishonored baby mama
Whose the mama to a daughter
That I had fathered from afar
My new lady gave 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, right up in her face 'G'
There's more fish in the sea
I'm on my mission to be, be


[Chorus: Lupe Fiasco]
The Coolest nigga what (4x)
Lord please have sympathy
And forgive Michael Young History as
The Coolest nigga what (repeat 4x)


[Verse #3: Lupe Fiasco]
Come, these are the tales of the cool
Guaranteed to go and make you fail from ya school
And seek unholy grails like a fool
And hang with the players of the pool
Fast talking of the hustle
No heaven up above ya, no hell underneath ye
And no one will receive thee
So shed no tear, when we're not here
And keep your faith as we chase
The Cool...

  2. Always thought the hook went:

    Lord please have sympathy
    And forgive my cool young history as
    The Coolest nigga what (repeat 4x)

  3. I always thought that was what he said also. But it makes sense seeing that Michael Young History is one of the characters Lupe uses. Also when you get a chance make that connection between The Cool, The Coolest and The Die. Lupe did a great job with that.

  4. it's Michael Young History,,, but its also a play on of words... so it sounds like "my cool young" thats the whole point. he is simply a genius.

  5. Just wanted to say that on the beginning of the second verse I actually think it's "Put plywood over Pella panes" because Pella is an actual brand of windows.

  6. 2nd verse:
    "And not one of Jared's
    You think it's all arid
    And e'eryting's ivory"

    ivory should be "irie"
    irie is Jamaican for good/great
