I think he's talking about people who think inside the box. The people who believe what they're taught...what they're told. What we're told in the world is that we go to war for terrorism, Lupe believes we go for oil. We're taught columbus was a great man. I'm sure Lupe knows Columbus was a fucking scum bag dirt bag heartless greedy piece of shit with a vision built from sheer ignorance and an idea. But we celebrate him. We're taught he found America and we make light of 250k Indians killed and enslaved. I can go on and on and on and on. But the fact is, the normal people "in the box" who think "in the box" and learn "in the box" believes the half truths and propaganda we're fed. And Lupe chains himself to the box to try and figure out a way to free other people. But he starts to enjoy what the people in the box enjoy. How they have happiness in life through ignorance. Even if he knows, he likes to have fun even more. Kind of like how he listened to hip hop although he "despised it". I havn't read every part of this song but from what I've heard and the first 2 verses I've read, it maintains my said path.
On short time though. God damn...such a great song and 9 comments. Damn where was in in 07. Fuck.
