"Flashback" is a song by Jack Splash featuring Lupe Fiasco, released from the former's forthcoming studio album, Technology and Love Might Save Us All (2009), by J Records.[1]
Concerning the album itself, Splash had created an accompanying short film where he described it as "Dr. Seuss meets Salvador Dali." He revealed to Verbicide, "The movie stars Cee-Lo as the narrator and is based around this little boy with a million questions about the world and this weird funky robot who comes down in a butterfly spaceship and kind of becomes his interplanetary guru. It was inspired by my friendship with Baatin (from Slum Village), who was an amazing person and had such a bright spirit. Lupe Fiasco plays the voice of the robot and Janelle Monae plays the voice of the child."[2]
Lyrics[]
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
Heh, Lupe, Jack, woo!
[Chorus: Jack Splash, Lupe Fiasco]
Flashback (Come on!)
Oh god, I think I hit my cash back
You tried to play me like a fool
But I think you're fooled for the last time
[Verse: Jack Splash]
[?] be mess around
Yeah, you've been gettin' down
But you never even think about it
I don't even think you care
Every time I turn around, you're never there
So I changed my mind, girl
You can [?] again
You can say it's not the same
But you never even think about it
I don't even think you care
Every time I turn around
You're never there
[Chorus: Jack Splash]
Flashback
Oh god, I think I hit my cash back
You tried to play me like a fool
But I think you're fooled for the last time
[Verse 2: Jack Splash]
Steppin' out
Tell me what that's all about
But I give you money for your clothes
And for your nails and for your hair
Every time I turn around
You're never there
So I changed my mind, girl
Oh yeah, I think I found someone new
Yeah, I think I know what to do
Take back all the clothes
And take the car you said was not there
Every time I turn around
You're never there
[Chorus: Jack Splash]
You 'bout to catch a
Flashback (Come on!)
Oh god, I think I hit my cash back
You tried to play me like a fool
But I think you're fooled for the last time
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh
Pilot to co-pilot
If you in your carpet
You see those unidentified flying object
Alien-like forms, enetergalacitc starships
The only green [?] gettin' out my pockets
Believe it's [?] even if you got it
And yes I got it, but still I shoplift
[?] cops [?] acting like I copped it
Would anyone wanna ride up on my rocket
I played your game, even blowed your cartridge
Your head got bigger than the eggs of an ostrich
You made my heart go colder than those faucets
So now it's only 50 cent for those foxes
Smell me [?]
Why don't you [?] on this [?]
Don't blame me, that's just my defense
But it's love since you made me fall out like Pete Wentz
[Chorus: Jack Splash, Lupe Fiasco]
Flashback
Oh god, I think I hit my cash back (Come on!)
You tried to play me like a fool
But I think you're fooled for the last time
Hear me now
Flashback
Oh god, I think I hit my cash back
You tried to play me like a fool
But I think you're fooled for the last time
[Outro: Lupe Fiasco]
Love make you do crazy things
It's a crazy thing, ain't it man?
Love makes you do crazy things
Don't be no fool
Jack Splash, Lupe!
Wait until you hear part two
