Cage was arrested several times for drug possession and fighting in the streets. When he faced jail time for violating probation, his mother convinced the judge that he was mentally unstable, and he was sent to the Stony Lodge psychiatric hospital for a two week evaluation. He eventually ended up staying in the hospital for eighteen months, where he was a part of a small group used to test fluoxetine.After being misdiagnosed and placed on the drug, he became suicidal and made several attempts to kill himself, including hanging himself with his shoelaces and saving his lithium dose for a month before ingesting all of them at once

Track 9 from the free album “In The Jaws Of The Lords Of Death” by Japanese Cartoon, the punk rock band featuring Wasalu Jaco (Lupe Fiasco), long-time friend Le Messie, Graham Burris, and Matt Nelson.

Like Lupe Fiasco said :

“‘GASP’ was about how we live lives of privilege. You look at China and there are a million millionaires, there’s all this great advancement, and all these skyscrapers, but it’s built on the backs of hundreds of millions of poor people. And that’s magnified all over the world. You look at the opulence of the few who sit at the top. But then you look at the bottom and it’s just massive poverty. For some people it’s surprising and when you’re surprised, you gasp. And that song is about looking at how everything that you have is made on the backs of the exploited, the oppressed, the slaves, the little kids that make 10 cents a week. Life needs gasps. You need those moments of awakening.”
