Song Lyrics –Words I Never Said : Lupe Fiasco -3-22-11
(Both Entries from same song)
The Lyrics in the song Satires our schools poor budget funds. “I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets, How much money does it take to really make a full clip, 9/11 building 7, did they really pull it …Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut .The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up” This uses incongruity to promote the idea that they use more money on war and terror than our schools and when cutting funds Education funding is often the first thing cut in state budgets.
The Lyrics in this song satires Banks and their loans. “Crooked banks around the World Would gladly give a loan today So if you ever miss payment They can take your home away” This uses exaggeration to promote the idea that Banks now in days give out loans to unqualified people that they know won’t be able to pay for. Then finally they foreclose your home and you owe all that money they loaned you, plus penalties, and late fees.
