Wow guys two years of arguing on this song....? Lol. I must say tho it is definately worth reading all of these opinions. The only "idiots" on this forum are the ones who called another an idiot because his logic or what the song meant was "wrong".
Hopefully some of u "idiots" have listened to more of lupe's work by now. U wud realize that the person above me was right in what he said. Lupe is king at making songs with multiple meanings. To a shallow mind this song is about skateboarding. To an average hip hoper, they see the metaphorical link to selling drugs. To the philosophical mind sees the ties to the struggle of fitting in. But to the open mind this song is about all 3.
Lupe is a very deep thinker and a deep poet. This song is definately first and foremost about skateboarding, as it is a pasion of lupe's. But lupe is known to be a selfless artist who rarely speaks on himself. So for the pple who have to push drugs to live the is a msg in there for u, as well as the kid stuggling to fit in.
And for any of u ppl to doubt this is true, you are DEFINATELY "idiots". Wat you're really doing is doubting the skills of this lyrical wizard. Truely the best lyricist in rap today.
Pick up "lupe Fiasco's The Cool" if you haven't already.
