| (feat. Jonah Matranga) 
 [Lupe Fiasco]
 Uh.. yeah
 He just sits, and watches the people in the boxes
 Everything he sees he absorbs and adopts it
 He mimics and he mocks it
 Really hates the box but he can't remember how to stop, it
 Uh, so he continues to watch it
 Hoping that it'll give him something that he can box with
 Or how the locksmith, see the box as, locked in the box
 Ain't got the combination to unlock, it
 That's why he watch-es, scared to look away
 Cause at that moment, it might show him
 What to take off the locks with
 So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it
 Swallowed the combination and then forgot, it
 As the doctors jot it all down, with they pens and pencils
 The same ones that took away his voice
 And just left this instrumental, like that
 
 [Chorus: Jonah Matranga + (Lupe)]
 And he never lies (he never lies, he never lies, uh)
 And he never lies (uh, he never lies, he never lies, no)
 And he never lies (he never lies)
 Cause he never said anything at all
 
 [Lupe Fiasco]
 He just sits, and listens to the people in the boxes
 Everything he hears he absorbs and adopts it
 Anything not coming out the box he blocks it
 See he loves to box and hope they never stop it
 Anything the box tell him to do, he does it
 Anything it tell him to get, he shops and he cops it
 He protects the box, locks it in a box
 when he goes to sleep, but he never sleeps
 Cause he stays up to watch it, scared to look away
 Cause at that moment, it might get stolen
 And that's the last of the boxes
 So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it
 Swallowed the combination and then forgot, it
 As the doctors jot it all down, with they pens and pencils
 The same ones that took away his voice
 And just left this instrumental, like that
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Lupe Fiasco]
 (Anything at all..) He never lies
 Uh, and you can't tell me just who you are
 You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
 You built that roof just to hide those stars
 Now you can't take it back to the start
 And you can't tell me just who you are
 You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
 You built that roof just to hide those stars
 Now you can't take it back to the start
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Lupe Fiasco]
 (Anything at all.. anything at all..)
 Uh, and you can't tell me just who you are
 You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
 You built that roof just to hide those stars
 Now you can't take it back to the start
 And you can't tell me just who you are
 You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
 You built that roof just to hide those stars
 Now you can't take it back to the start
