Lupe Fiasco: "'GASP' is the crown jewel of the album. [It's] the best record to me. It took us a year to finish that off. Ian Astbury actually wound up playing the drums on 'GASP.' I'm not using a British accent on that song. [But] I don't know if people still perceive it because the way they hear my voice.

"'GASP' was about how we live lives of privilege. You look at China and there are a million millionaires, there's all this great advancement, and all these skyscrapers, but it's built on the backs of hundreds of millions of poor people. And that's magnified all over the world. You look at the opulence of the few who sit at the top. But then you look at the bottom and it's just massive poverty. For some people it's surprising and when you're surprised, you gasp. And that song is about looking at how everything that you have is made on the backs of the exploited, the oppressed, the slaves, the little kids that make 10 cents a week. Life needs gasps. You need those moments of awakening.

"This is what I want you to walk away from the album with. I want you to know that, whatever the future holds for Japanese Cartoon, it's going to be the caliber of this record. Everything else was kind of like us trying to get there. We had some ups and downs, some goodness and some wackness, but this final record is the epitome of all our records. So expect the next Japanese Cartoon record, the next album, to be this good. This is the bar for us."

LYRICS
Now all your outsides are in a rush,
and all your insides are out of touch,
and then you realize, Real lives,
life the idea dies.
And the crush, pulverized into dust,
And the poltergeist rises up,
Under the hill lies,
Now lies us,
Cut lady luck knifes didn't gassed us up.

Cause your pleasure is painful,
yeah you know, you know, you know,
well it's worse,
cause you don't know,
just how much it,


I'm writing you,
In spite of you,
The conflict rests inside of you,
Dividing you,
Devour you,
Defeating and de-power you.
Depletin and deflower you,
Revolutions waiting on the hour to,
Expose our love,
And weakness of the powerful.
Redefine uncomfortable,
Is currently the question,
And the suffering,
The famous nameless angels are up under you.
Your happiness is killing me,
The fantasy and fantasize,
Insanity romantically are,

Pleasure is painful,
yeah you know, you know, you know,
well it's worse,
when you don't know,
just how much it hurts.
