This song is extremely political. Lupe refers to Obama and the governments reforms a few times throughout the song. He talks about the Gaza strip which is a known controversy in politics. He talks about budget cuts and education. He spits truth in his lyrics and especially about what he's feeling.
The video is also extremely thought provoking. All the people in the video have something that looks almost like a muzzle restraining them from their right to speak their mind. The atmosphere is gray and dark and lacks any form of hope. A woman is being dragged out by force and Lupe Fiasco later faces the same fate.
Lupe follows a usual rhyme scheme for some rappers. It seems as though he latches on to one word and rhymes with it for a few lines and moves on to a new word. It follows A, A, A, A, B, B, B... however he writes more than four lines that rhyme together.
