Flashback

## Song by Jack Splash featuring Lupe Fiasco

"**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.

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."

## Lyrics

**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
