|
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
|
