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.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
