Isesha Poem (Intro)

Lupe Fiasco · Other Songs - Lupe Fiasco

They thought it was cool to burn crosses on your front

lawn as they hung you from trees in your backyard

They thought it was cool to leave you thirsty and stranded, Katrina!

He thought it was cool to carry a gun in his classroom

and open fire, Virginia Tech, Columbine Stop the violence!

They thought it was cool to tare down the projects

and put up million dollar condos, Gentrification

They think it's cool to stand on the block hiding product

in their socks to make quick dime bag dollars

They think it's cool to ride down on you in blue and

white unmarked cars busting you upside your head

Freeze...

'Cause the problem is we think it's cool too

Check your ingredients before you overdose, on The Cool...
