You might remember Lupe Fiasco’s ‘Adoration of the Magi’ as the song where he drew inspiration from album covers for the chorus.

Why you ready to die? You just a baby (reference to Biggies Ready to Die)
Why them tears up under your eyes? You just a baby (reference to Lil Waynes Tha Carter III)
Keep your head up in the sky, you just a baby (reference to Drakes Nothing Was the Same)
Quit chasing money, never mind, you just a baby (reference to Nirvanas Nevermind)
(These Magi adore you) x2
Why you wanna be born again? You just a baby (reference to Black Sabbaths Born Again)
Why you playing in the streets? You just a baby (reference to Nas Illmatic)

The politically charged Muslim rapper has dropped visuals for the lyrical exercise. We don’t approve of spoilers, but let’s just say this is exactly how we pictured a nun, cop, and preacher waiting on line at a strip club to play out. Watch above.
