"Lost in the World" transitions into the closing track "Who Will Survive in America". The song ends with a very long sample of Gil Scott-Heron's "Comment No. 1", a speech which served as a comment on the 1960s Revolutionary Youth Movement for failing to recognize the more basic needs of the African-American community. It is edited to a smaller version on the track that, according to "Chicago Tribune" writer Greg Kot, "retains its essence, that of an African-American male who feels cut off from his country and culture". Ann Powers of "Los Angeles Times" described "Woods" as a "Wisconsin death trip that becomes a testimonial to rebirth through isolation" and noted a significant difference from "Lost in the World", commenting that the song was more about West's "exhausted cry of one who's always new in town, chasing whatever goal or girl is in the room, fueled by consumer culture's relentless buzz, but finally left unsatisfied."
