From prostitution, crack heads, crooked cops, and violence drive-bys. He is seeing all this from the face of the robot, through the eyes or the windows. That very last line, I had a hard time interpreting it, but thanks to Wikipedia, I was able to understand it.
Apparently, Lupe had a different idea for the songs video. A quick rundown of it is that he was going to have an actual robot go and fight other robots hoods fighting against each other and the one that Lupe was in, would come to a realization that they shouldn't be fighting amongst each other.
So that robot would go for the white house. During that battle, the robot would get injured and have to retreat, thus "I still got some damage from fighting the white house" The second verse then changes topics, and changes the meaning of the chorus.
The is this "Daydream" or un-real world created in rap videos that seems to be popular. When I first heard this song back in , I thought that first line, "Come on everybody lets make cocaine cool" meant that he wanted everybody to join him and become as cool as cocaine is. But it is quite the opposite. To help me interpret this verse, I pictured that I was on the set of a rap video and Lupe was the director and he was talking to me.
Now get some of those sexy models and put them by the pool. Next grab these guns MAC that are covered in jewels. He turns back to me and asks, "where's the champagne?
Don't you know we need the champagne?! To add some final touches, we need some fake rain and a smoke machine to add to the whole scene. When he speaks of the sleeping baby, he is referencing to someone who is unaware of what's going on. He doesn't want it to be done too loud because the sleeping baby might wake up and realize whats going on. He then brings the robot back into the mix and saying that the project building can be involved in the whole thing.
He turned his back on all the drug dealing etc, which is what got you paid. But he goes on to that the streets and the TVs that raised him because they are what educated him and made him who he is. Closing: This is what I got from the song.
I have come to find that with Lupe Fiasco's songs, you have to keep listening to it over and over to discover what he is talking about and that you have never always understood ALL and EXACTLY what he is trying to convey, and that there is a lot more to his music. If there is anything that you feel I missed or you think I misinterpreted incorrectly, go ahead and let me know, I will take a look at it and see if I agree or not, and if I don't I'll give you a reason why.
Thanks for reading!
