Lupe Fiasco - All Black Everything

  I just finished hearing Lupe's new song "All Black Everything" and let me tell you, off the chain. If the last two songs weren't enough to build anticipation for Lasers, this song definitly does.
  All Black Everything paints the picture of a world untouched by racism, slavery, and hatred. It talks about how different of a world we would be living in had things been different over the past 400 years. It speaks of no slavery, and how black and white people could get along because of this lack of slavery. With no fear comes no limitations, and thus a glorious America was built from this lack of limitation. From this lack of limitation, drugs have never found there way in, foreign countries are in peace ("Somalia is a great place to relax in"), projects are non existant, and racism has no place in this day and age.
  Now granted, this is just the picture painted. Anyone can paint a picture and conjecture about what may have been had things occurred differently, whether it be in one's personal life or, as Lupe Fiasco has put it, in terms of known history itself. But the picture painted isn't to prove some kind of point of the way things may have been. The picture is simply a representation of something great. A representation of something that we as a collective public should be working toward. Painting a picture of something amazing in the past could theoretically convince the present that our future could be amazing. Lupe brings it to a close in the third verse saying "Uh, and I know it's just a fantasy I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be. Now we can do nothing bout the past but we can do something about the future that we have."
  Give it a listen! Lupe Fiasco - All Black Everything
