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.

I mean I guess bro

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
