And for those wondering who produced it, it's some "no name" (hopefully not for long) kids, not Kanye. Overall, I'm definitley feeling it. Content, delivery, music etc. It's good.
Its a cool song, still not really feeling dudes flow though.
Seriously, I don't think much of Lupe Fiasco, but that's some really solid writing.
