Trying to pick my favorite Lupe Fiasco song is like trying to pick my number one restaurant in NYC. I CAN'T. But one of my all-time faves is "Touch The Sky" with Kanye West. This is the song I listen to when I'm feeling down, when I need to speed up my workout or I just made out with a really cute guy and I'm walking home. The song is really hopeful and that's one thing Lupe is all about: Hope.
