Latest and greatest. By far, my best song yet. Expect more stuff like this. It's time to get serious. Listen to Lupe's original to really understand my critique and my stance:

Lyrics:
Chorus:
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
Shout out to Lupe Fiasco
Best Rapper Alive
...but ain't no one safe from criticism
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Aah, but I'm a soldier and I always pack a full clip
Trigger, trigger, pull it; Proud of what they pay me for?
(uuaahh..! )Not really; really, this is such a crazy war
But I love this freedom, and I love to defend it
Shit I love the laws we have; I love our amendments
Those the same documents that let me state the obvious:
Freedom of my speech gives me the power to be rockin' this
Power to make money and go spend it; how though?
Buy a Lupe album; yes I buy it, no download
Everything he says has some merit, I get it
But let me show you the point of view from where I'm starin'
War is regrettably the entity that lets you rap
..And I'm sorry that Atlantic's been suppressin' that
But I would die for this country 20 times over
That's enough life for my effus and my family and my home-girl
...Someone's gotta do it, so you can rap and shit
This track's for soldiers who put the whole nation on they back and shit
I wish there was another way to do it, but war's made freedom since the first Revolution
Chorus
Props to what this track had to say on the budget cuts
They cut teachers, not soldiers; what the fuck?
One reason, and half us never notice why
They wasn't jokin' when they told us we should vote or die
Politicians keep money in Medicare, every cent
And Social Security...and the damn Defense
Why those three? Why they cuttin' infrastructure
Why they cuttin' education? Why they fuckin' wit' us brother?
'Cause the youth is so enraged with revolt
We lettin' old folks count more when they vote
The Fed knows this, they know who shows up in November
So they let them line their pockets when they campaign up in Denver
..In New York, in Chicago, through the whole nation
'Til they overspend and still gotta bail out the whole nation
...Lupe don't vote Obama, that's the first step
Gotta change how democracy works to see it work, yes...
Chorus(2X)
...And at the end of the day, I'm so conflicted
But the best thing I can do is be completely open with it
I rather see a young man rap instead of dealin'
But if Uncle Sam go snatch him first, it's still an honest livin'
The circumstance of war today, I know it's something different
'Cause the media has made this what it wants us to envision
...All I can hope is that we lead to something greater
So speak up and say it, don't hold back the rays of all these LASERS!
