Lupe:
4
Uh
5
Spray paint and ink pens,
6
I use
7
To write in every color I think in,
8
To paint a picture,
9
With every rhyme that I speak in,
10
Yeah
11
The gallery is the beat then I (echoes I)
12
Mike:
13
Yes
14
Ladies and gentlemen we have a special guest for you this evenin'
15
Ghost you ready?
16
Ghost:
17
Yo,
18
I verbally paint pictures,
19
I'm the hood's best story teller,
20
This one 'bout a young boy,
21
Dealin with them older fellas,
22
Promised him the lives,
23
You see on TV,
24
He ran packs across town,
25
Like rhyme CD'S,
26
And
27
Big chains, new cloths, Nikes and Reeboks,
28
Stackin' too much loot
29
To squeeze in a shoe box,
30
Savin',
31
He promised moms a crib in Atlanta,
32
And his pops got killed through debt,
33
He was a dealer,
34
So he stayed stressed out,
35
started walkin' with suit cases,
36
o more "cross town"
37
Now he's crossin' them states, and
38
Seeing new faces,
39
Not knowing who to trust,
40
So when the door kicked open
41
They scream "This is a bust,"
42
Is it a set up?
43
It seems funny a scuffle broke out,
44
He got hit, dropped the cases,
45
Spittin' blood out of his mouth,
46
He walked four blocks to die,
47
Tryin' to survive,
48
And now all that's left is his mom,
49
Screamin' "God why?"
50
Lupe:
51
Uh
52
Spray paint and ink pens
53
I use
54
To write in every color I think in
55
To paint a picture
56
With every rhyme that I speak in
57
Yeah

The gallery is the beat then I (echoes I)
59
Mike:
60
Yeah, Yeah
61
Let me begin by saying
62
"Shut the fuck up!"
63
Let me begin by saying,
64
I don't think this man knew what he had in store,
65
He opened the door, and found the bag under the floor,
66
Not a peep, while he's working the lock,
67
Get the flame, aim, POP
68
Open the box and take off,
69
out the back of the pawn shop
70
Scoping the lot,
71
Hoping the cops hadn't seen the plates on his car,
72
He felt like he'd been hustling so hard,
73
like a demon he pumped a cold heart,
74
play it cool like Humphrey Bogart,
75
Put the rings on his chain attached by both parts,
76
He did the drop,
77
One ring in a bag,
78
Envelope, all the money he had,
79
Left the money and the ring in a slow exhale,
80
Two weeks went by,
81
Got a box in the mail,
82
In the box was a bullet made of gold
83
Melted down from the ring,
84
Recast with two rings and a band,
85
And he stared at it sittin' the palm of his hand,
86
And sat down next to a picture that sat on the nightstand,
87
It was his wife in the picture at his side,
88
With the ring on the finger on the week that she died,
89
As he looked in the reflection, at those eyes so red,
90
He put the bullet in a gun,
91
And put it right in his head,
92
Like that,
93
[gunshot]
94
Lupe:
95
Uh
96
Spray paint and ink pens
97
I use
98
To write in every color I think in
99
To paint a picture
100
With every rhyme that I speak in
101

103
Lupe:
104
Uh, yeah
105
Uh
106
Mike: Fiasco
107
He knew he didn't have enough power in his thrusters,
108
To muster warp 5,
109
Plus if he pushed it the fuel cells could rupture,
110
And then they would die,
111
Then the galaxy would suffer, but he knew he had to try,
112
But he couldn't risk it, put the cure in the escape pod and kissed it,
113
Told her goodbye,
114
She started to cry,
115
But he knew if he could distract em,
116
He could buy her some time and she could make it out alive,
117
Turned the suit around and got prepared for the stand off,
118
Space mine had blew one of the hands off,
119
Damaged laser cannons and the guidance system jammed,
120
And he faced the whole fleet,
121
Blood seeping through his teeth,
122
the final saga in the Seven Planet Wars,
123
Unsheathed the sword and
124
Then he charged forward,
125
His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass,
126
He let out a laugh,
127
And then all she heard was a blast like
128
[explosion]
129
Lupe:
130
Uh
131
Spray paint and ink pens
132
I use
133

Mike:
139
Yeah,
140

141
Ghostface!
142
