      You halfway there bro. He's saying that any young men that follow him should block out all the negativity of the world, live a joyous life, catch a ship (metaphorically to get away from the negativity) in their dreams and float into a dreamworld that's perfect to them.

    Haile Selassie, high as the eyelids of osprey
    I'm thriving, Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
    Looking for my, looking for my, looking for my, as I float
    Brand new shell for my ghost, tattoos all on my coast
    "Throughout history,
    It has been the inaction of those who could have acted
    The indifference of those who should have known better
    The silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most
    This, has made it possible for evil to triumph."
    Selassie
    Man's limitation, transfiguration
    Haka dance done at the welcome to the demo
    Modern man comes to the weddin' in the limo
    Mixin' doves with the rice rain
    Uncle Ben's off the rails on the night train
    And that storm took us to the platform, pushas
    Back to the bachelor's backdoor, unhook us
    Hope this track take you back to where the fat girl pushed us
    And that's very old like Blackberry Bold but the juice
    Sweeter than where the party at, or
    Releasing these niggas from the roofs, and
    Leavin' these niggas on the loose, or
    Keepin' these niggas in the coops, and
    Leavin' these niggas on the noose, free!
    Shamu fan, got a world to see!
    Haile Selassie, high as the eyelids of osprey
    I'm thriving, Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
    Looking for my, looking for my, looking for my, as I float
    Brand new shell for my ghost, tattoos all on my coast
    "Then until the philosophy which holds
    One race superior and another inferior
    Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
    That until there no longer first class
    And second class citizens of any nation
    Until the color of a man's skin is no
    More significant than the color of his eyes."
    Selassie
    To the limit, the limit in the Methadone clinic
    Ridin' with the pack like a Peloton
    Flyin' with the sack in the trap like the pregnant
    As it breaks in the backs from the cracks that we step upon
    If I triple my worth, will it cripple my mom?
    If I simple my search, will it mental my calm?
    Will it hurt if I give you my palm?
    To tell in it, don't put a nail in it
    How you gonna see the world if you a whale in it
    And readin' my palms like there's braille in it (braille in it)
    Is it the trail or the forest?
    (Forest) Or the forest with the trail in it?
    That's a sail with a 12 in it,
    Water coming through from impalin' it (Water come through for me now)
    Nothin' left of the boat but my holes
    Still I fill up the world and I float, like
    Haile Selassie, high as the eyelids of osprey
    I'm thriving, Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
    Looking for my, looking for my, looking for my, as I float
    Brand new shell for my ghost, tattoos all on my coast
    "A qualified man with vision, unmoved by daily selfish interests
    Will be led to right decisions by his conscience
    In general, a man who knows from whence he comes and where he's going
    Will cooperate with his fellow human beings
    He will not be satisfied with merely doing his
    Ordinary duties, but will inspire others by his good example
    You are being watched by the nation
    You should realize that you will satisfy it if you do good
    But on the contrary, you do evil,
    It will lose it's hope and confidence in you."
    Selassie
    Hydrant open wide, on the side of the colonized
    Swimmin' in the street, fell asleep on my mama thighs
    Blockin' out the noise that destroys little boys
    Living joy, ships ahoy, get deployed by the rock-a-byes
    D-d-d-deep into the sea of my dreams
    Lyin' fall asleep at the feet of my queen
    Hawk, I'ma write to the beat of your wings
    Song for the Ethiopian King
    Haile
    Haile Selassie, high as the eyelids of osprey
    I'm thriving, Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
    Looking for my, looking for my, looking for my, as I float
    Brand new shell for my ghost, tattoos all on my coast
    Haile Selassie, high as the eyelids of osprey
    I'm thriving, Poseidon your trident can't stop me from diving
    Looking for my, looking for my, looking for my, as I float
    Brand new shell for my ghost, tattoos all on my coast

I am happy I was so blessed to hear this. This album has assisted in transforming my life, my heart, my mind, my soul...brushed the cob webs off my brain, Cleared the fog and given me hope and helped re-build my faith. Nothing but love for God's children that come here to do his work and assist in the awakening of the rest of the future leaders of the world. Blessings and good energy sent out. Infinity.

    Lupe, I'm Ethiopian and you are the epitome of Hiphop for me. Here.....I find the meeting of my values and my love and my song
    ....all I'm one! 😁
    you are blessed beyond measure ..you probably don't even know how much that means..because it's beyond your own comprehension x you have reached so many so far away from you in space and time..simple by what what you have done so far. You left a legacy of truth for billions to hold on to the light of the world. Trust and believe...you have no idea how much you have impacted so many around the world! 🙌 you are blessed indeed! Have created extraordinarily songs and stayed true to your values. May the Most High bring your rewards to you in due time..allllllllll of it may you reap in abundance IJN! 🙌🙏🙌 you are one of a kind. So grateful to be a witness of your gifts even from far away. 💚💛❤

      +Juan Espinoza I hear you. The radio has become a double edged sword nowadays, just like fans. While getting the record play he deserves, he will garner new fans. At the same time, people who dont think he is good will get mad and increase the amount of haters. Plus, radio is pretty garbo now anyway.

      Radio ain't where it's at anyway. They play the songs they want you to like until you like them. Wack or Dope don't even make it into the conversation.
      Just make sure you all support this album.

    Lupe fiasco always drop music that always goes over people's heads including myself. Pu$$y that track had a deeper meaning than what we perceive. Some tracks grow on you and others you love or hate but it always has a message. He raps on bitch bad which is a trap beat and clubs play it but it's a deep song. That's why he's my favorite rapper hands down.
