There's a new single out there with John Legend. No word if it's going to be on Lasers. Sounds almost like something Phil Collins would do. And I don't mean that in a bad way.

This song was everywhere a few years ago. It's a pretty blatant copy, even if it's acknowledged.

Do people in this thread not know what a sample is? If you think this is a rip-off, listening to Stronger by Kanye must have put you in epileptic fits.

Ugh I was really anticipating Beautiful Lasers, but he changed the Matthew Santos hook into autotune >_< hate that.

I wonder is Lupe is using the rock sounds of the band for all his songs or if that's just for his live performances.

Hot song for sure. Just want this shit to release already. Though if there is one thing I'm not a fan of it's rappers + politics, still a good song.

Lupe brought his "A" game on that track. I'm glad he wasn't going for radio play for this single

Thankfully he didn't do another radio friendly mediocre song like TSGO

Might as well post in here too, loving it cause, yes it is new and return to form Lupe after all the Japanese Cartoon dumb shit and random one-off songs he's done. Definitely better than The Show Goes On, even though I liked that too, this is the better Lupe style.

And I conditioned myself a long, long time ago to stop actually listening to anything remotely political in any genre of music, mostly because introducing politics into music ruins the fun for me, really. Sorry, Immortal Technique.

someone hold me down on the last part of that last verse:

Consider this your bailin' out
So take a breath in hell if you must
Screams is finally getting free
My thoughts is finally yellen' ____________ (through?)

good confirmation. I cleaned up a few of their errors. Here is the proper text:

[Hook 1]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
I can't take back the words I never said

[Hook 2]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said, never said
I can't take back the words I never said

[Hook 3]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said (echos)

-------------------------------

[Hook 1]

[Verse 1]
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 Building 7 did they really pull it?
And a bunch of other cover ups
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper crust
You get it then they move it so you never keepin' up enough
If you turn on TV all you see's a bunch of “what the fucks”
Dude is dating so-and-so
Blabbering 'bout such and such
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie that's the news!
And these the same people supposedly telling us the truth!
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit!
Thats why I ain't vote for him, next one either
I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people
YEAH!

[Hook 1]

[Verse 2]
Now we can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it
But if we know better then we probably deserve it
Jihad is not Holy War
Where's that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam!
And you are -not- observant
And you are -not- a Muslim
Israel don't take my side cause look how far you pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto this where all the Kush went (((puff)))
Complain about the liquor store but what you drinkin' liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but when you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac ain't gon' make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gon' make it halt
If you don't become a actor you'll never be a factor
Pills with million side effects take em' when the pain is felt
Wash em down with diet soda killin' off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the World would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss a payment they can take your home away!

[Hook 2]

[Verse 3]
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion that's why I despise it
We scared of almost of everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you
Sometimes I'm like the only person I'll feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free my thoughts is finally yelling through

[Hook 3]
