Props to the nikkas at kanyetothe...

This album is long dead, but Lupe finally goes into detail about the concept of his LupEND album. Atlantic wasn't having that shyt tho

Explanation starts from the bottom

The female he is talking to is a friend of mine

Your friend needs to hit up Lupe more

Got him telling her age old mysteries people be wondering/asking about for years n shyt

Maybe she can talk him outta some unrealized joints

Happy birthday!


Tony found the fountain of youth, in the mountain of power
To only find truth in the fountain, drowning in power
Surrounded with dollars
The moon surrounds us like spoons moving chowder
Cut, that's a mis-direct to stir the soul with dis-effect
Names don't last like Mr. X
Unless you Galilee dropping bowling balls on the discotheque
With a disco ball hanging 'round your neck
Dance, it's a new year
Every time I open my hands

From KTT about Dots and Lines

At the Lupe concert tonight in Denver, CO, Lupe told the crowd what Dots & Lines is and is about.
He said he didn't make the song for his fans
Nor for himself
But for...
His children.
He said it's a gift he wanted to make for his future kids, because he wants them to look just like him, and for himself to look just like them. A song to help them through life.

Great song one of my favorites but the video doesn't explain anything that isn't already obvious

There's some further explanation by Times Nu Roman in the video's description
