Shining Down

Most likely in the top ten section of Lupe Fiasco's best songs. The flow is amazing, as well as the beat, and it has a mysterious vibe to it. Featuring Matthew Santos, it proves to be an equivalent to, in such a case, even the Falcon Punch.

The Song is from the Album LASERS, which stands for Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile", being released possibly shortly. Remember, Lupe Fiasco exists as the last hope of actually good hip-hop music.
Chorus:
Look Up in the Sky (Look Up in the Sky)
Look Up in the Sky (Look Up in the Sky)
Look Up in the Sky (Look Up in the Sky)

You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn't around.
Thought I left you alone.
But look up in the sky.
Just look up in the sky.
See that Im everywhere
Everywhere
Shining down on you.

Verse 1:
Well, well
Is that our little author?
Coming back; Humming his hymns a little altered.
Your attention; Put back on the flow like the department of water
Take it off of the door like little Walter
Chess? Yes. Baby, Im Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause; Outlaw with the lawyer
Judge, jury like a loop; Rap name Lupe but my daddy named me Warrior
This is his memorial.
(Shoot)

Chorus:
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn't around.
That I left you alone.
But look up in the sky.
Just look up in the sky.
See that Im everywhere
Everywhere
Shining down on you.

Lyrics like these bring absolute happiness... *Sigh*, if only 50 Cent and Lil'Wayne were non-existent.

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

The hypothetical man (often a sinister character who decided not to go to boot camp) that is doing your girlfriend/wife while you are on deployment overseas.
Ain't no use in goin home,
Jody's got your girl and gone.
Ain't no use in goin back,
Jody's got your Cadillac,
Ain't no use in feeling blue,
Jody's took your checkbook too.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
