The song not only expresses his love for girls, it is also a metaphor for his love for hip-hop. This is another example of Lupe's Fiasco lyrical skills. “Pick up a record and use it to empower yourself” Having grown up on the Westside of Chicago in a neighborhood filled with violence, Lupe makes many records that show listeners that, even with the odds stacked against him, he uses his struggle to better himself . There are many epic poems written in literature that intrigue and capture the reader's attention such as; The Iliad, the Odyssey, Beowulf and the Divine Comedy. Hip-hop culture had never had an epic history of its own until Lupe Fiasco arrived. Lupe created a 17-song saga called "Michael Young History (MYH) also known as The Cool" spread across his first two albums and some mixtapes. MYH is a frivolous rap character raised by a hard-working, single mother who struggles to raise Michael and his loving sister. Without parental guidance, the promising young Michael turns into a drug trafficker. Michael's love of the streets and fame led him down a path of greed and deceit. In no time Michael took control of his neighborhood by making money, bribing corrupt cops to look away from his crimes. As Michael's immoral fame grows, his friends become jealous, forcing Michael to end his life. Unless a music listener is a Lupe Fiasco fan, they won't be aware of this
