Lupe is my favorite rapper. Not afraid to hit on topics that most people are sensitive around.

Lupe was way too ahead of his time, the industry didn't deserve him when he was a big presence in it. He had way too much substance in his music. Paved the way for a lot of lyricists who actually have an interesting outlook on life, portray it through their music, but at the same time make it sound pleasing to the listener.

I think there are a whole bunch of different ways to interpret this song. That is the beauty of art but that is a discussion for another day. Personally, this song to me preaches a philosophy revolving around equality. In the comments people have repeatedly said, "Black supremacy", "He's talking about what if there were no boats to take slaves.". For some reason I get the feeling Lupe Fiasco wasn't contemplating his race being supreme, or shockingly enough the legitimacy of boats (Slight undertones of sarcasm if you didn't notice). He paints this completely hypothetical world where black people weren't devalued, raped, demoralized, sold, bought, and killed for several hundred years. In this imaginary world, every race works together and strives for a better tomorrow. I think what he is trying to get at (And this is interpretation may be different than yours, probably because it's a personal interpretation) is that slavery had a lasting affect on the black community. Blacks unequally share prison space, have lower life spans, and make significantly less money on average than their white and Asian brothers to date. There is no difference between a black man and white man besides the melonoin in their skins. Because this is a widely accepted fact, we need to analyze why there is such a massive difference in the communities today. Every culture on earth has stories, every culture has dancing, food, some type of law, some type of government, innovative strives, terrible famine, terrible genocides, but the ONLY one to have had a several hundred year period of painful work and an agonizing death AT THE HANDS OF ANOTHER RACE, is the African community. That is why, personally, I have come to the conclusion that slavery, to date, disportionately affects black people. I believe Lupe Fiasco gets at this point fantastically in a well made song.

Despite all the things a song could say bad or good Lupe Fiasco inspires me to be better than who I really am he also inspires me to be a good songwriter even so I may not be professional neither of us known for singing I really wish I could get into that type of career I hope he makes more inspiring songs for people to listen to no matter how many millions he makes or not all I gotta say is do it for the people who really cares about it

Lupe Fiasco didn't say Europeans invented slavery in anyway. He said what if it didn't happen, what if we built it together equally. Trying to defend slavery by saying Europeans and then Americans didn't do it first is a pathetic paper thin excuse and just proves someones racist intent. If a man has sex with a young boy and claims the ancient Greeks did it first, does that make it okay?! NOPE. Also America had slavery longer than any other 1st world country. It was more brutal and so integrated to the point that it was essential for the US to run. Because of the past race relations in the US still are bad, worse then the UK, Canada, and even South Africa which just got rid of apartheid in the 90s.

Somebody shut the snooze off...Uh, and I know it's just a fantasyI cordially invite you to ask why can't it beNow we can do nothing bout the pastBut we can do something about the future that we haveWe can make it fast or we can make it lastEvery woman queen and every man a king andWhen those color lines come we can't see betweenWe just close our eyes till its all black everything
