“The Die” …

I’m listening to “The Cool” and what I’m getting is that The Cool never dies because he came back to life digging out of that damn casket so its something like yeah..the cool will go away for a while, but its gonna keep coming back.

So in “He say She say”, it’s showing the raising of the new cool, what set him up for all of this new shit while The Game keeps that die on him so yea, he keeps on getting built up, no dad, failing school, mama doing too much, the game is engulfing him now "I cant I wont let you leave" The Game is his new father.

So now we hit The Die, the second cool has reached the pinnacle of his life, biggest figure in the whole game, and the game is tired of him, so he comes and kills him "He aint so cool now is he"

Now, the song “Fighters”, if you just use the concept, is about people believing that this cycle is finally over but go baby is something like a new birth (go baby) our new cool player is some kind of pimp or pimp in training.

The part about fighters and go baby is kind of half assed but I think it works...

On the song “The Coolest”…

This is the original cool trying to start his life over, he dug his way out, sort of like a recovering crack addict, this song is more of a prayer really, its him asking god to forgive him and bring him back to the light.

The prayer is the original cool professing what he did, the girl he is speaking about is like The Streets, she twisted him up and lead him down that path....

THE COOL FROM THE FIRST SONG IS THE SECOND COOLS FATHER! During the time he was dead, his son began to follow his path, "The ones who had dead beat dads and well to do mamas but not well enough to keep em from us the ones that were fighting in class that might not pass."

THAT WAS THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF HE SAY SHE SAY!

On “The Streets” …

His mother in “He say She say” is the streets. She is reaching out to the original cool to show the new cool the ways of the game so he doest get lost to it.

OR

”Streets on Fire”and “He say She say”. At first, it’s gonna be slightly difficult to explain, but I’m gonna give it another shot...

”He say She say” is a narrative from his mothers perspective, "She said to em, I want you to be a father, he’s ya lil boy and you don’t even bother."

So this is the conception of Mr. cool, because his mother has to work to support him, he must turn to THE STREETS to make a living. I can’t remember the lyric but it says no money as a minute maid or somethin’ like that. he is working the streets to feed the family, now, in “Streets on Fire” the chorus goes, "Death is on tip of her tounge and dangers at the tip of her fingers" By listening to this, she is a walking living breathing curse, he goes on to explain what she is doing, the disease, poverty, vengeance,

1.The scientists said it only infects the mind
2.The little boy said it only infects the girls
3.The Preacher said it's gonna kill off the soul
4.A bum said it's gonna kill the whole wide world"

(1) I know the song sounds like it’s about Aids, but I can really tie that to The Streets because the streets are dangerous which in psychology we learn that it effects your mind state.

(2) The boys who are so lost in it only wanna believe that a bitch (female sorry) would fall victim to the streets, they don’t have what it takes to survive out there.

(3) Like I said before, in the coolest he is praying about his past so, the pastors take that message he is giving and tells the people who are out there they need to give it up or else they will be lost to the game…just like The Cool was killed.

(4) In the whole thing, the bum is the innocence in everything, he may be homeless but he is not caught up with the hustlers and drugs so he has the most objective view on this entire situation, he sees that at the rate this is spreading, the world will be consumed.

AND ALL OF THIS STEMMED FROM THE MOTHER (THE STREETS) IN HE SAY SHE SAY ASKING THE COOL FROM THE GRAVE TO SHOW HER SON THE WAYS OF COOL.



** And honestly if you look at the names of his cd's they tell you the story basically..

Food and Liquor (metaphor for the streets if you read the articles) the beginning

The Cool (getting up there in the game, making a name, and so on)

LupEND(if you read the concept of the name, you could take this as him saying its over, the real death, no more after this.....)

actually. the Cool dont keep commin back to life lol.

He is MYH in He Say and The Die and The Coolest. then when he dies.The Cool is ressurected in his place kinda thing in the song The Cool.

all the songs are a pre to The Cool from F&L.

He Say She Say= MYH as a boy

The Coolest= MYH meetin the streets

The Die= death of MYH

The Cool= Res of MYH as The Cool

Streets on Fire= is kinda just touchin on The Streets mostly in chorus

Put You On Game= Talks about the Game in first person perspective.
