Have been thinking a lot about Lupe Fiasco's "CHANNEL NO 3" today... in it, Lupe recasts common video game tropes and structures as part of mastering the game of life.

It doesn't sound all that clever but the overall effect is really smooth, with bars like:

"Just know when to run
Or when to jump or just when to slide
Know where the secrets are
Know where the treasure hides"

and

"So we ain't resetting to the beginning
Memorizing the maps, a collection of positions
In my mind, start flying, we running outta time
If we can reach the next checkpoint we'll be fine"
