He Say, She Say (ft. Sarah Green & Gemstones)
[from Food & Liquor] -
On the surface, it appears to be the generic story of what happens within a family when a child is growing up in a fatherless home. But as Lupe reveals
HERE, it also serves as the introduction of Michael Young History and the foundation to his doomed fate.
Both verses are somewhat interchangeable, becoming the 2 similar perspectives of the mother and little Michael, respectively, begging the father to rethink his departure from the young boys' life. While dealing with his fathers' absence, MYH goes from being a smart kid who would hand in his homework first, to a troublemaker getting into fights at school. He is in danger of failing his grade and being held back, but his mom is doing everything she can to support him both financially and emotionally. They're doing their best to handle the situation and proclaim, "Some days it ain't sunny, but it ain't so hard..". His fathers' only response to their plea is "I don't know what you want from me..", and MYH is left to wonder why his dad won't even give him a chance.

Ummm that Pac track is EXACTLY what Lu was trying to get across... I think youre trying to say Pac wasnt lyrical enough to do what you wanted Lu to do, but the neither track is lyrical. I think I qualify as one of the Harvard going Lupe stans, but the Pac track >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He Say She Say. And to say he wasnt lyrical enough... look at that last bar...
