Jersey Shore cast members DJ Pauly D and Deena introduced Fiasco, describing him as "a man who's definitely got style." Before launching into "Words I Never Said," Fiasco said, "We got the number one record in the country." He added, "Young people of the world. Young people all over the world. Make sure you stand up for what you believe in. Stand up for what's right in this life. Don't let things go by. Don't waste your time. Make a difference. Love always shines every time."Iandoli, Kathy (March 31, 2011). "MTV Jam Of The Week: Lupe Fiasco's 'Words I Never Said'". MTV.
Fiasco told MTV News of his performance, "It's no different. I did a show for the hardcore [fans] yesterday and it was the same thing. The same energy. At the end of the day, it's about getting in touch with the energy—I don't want to sound too mystical—but that human energy. It don't matter if you black, white, Italian, Asian or in a bikini or have a fitted hat on thugged out, everybody wants to hear something and be moved by something, so for us, we want to take it to you as energetic as we possibly can."Rodriguez, Jayson (March 29, 2011).

MTV News Jason Newman wrote, "We're not sure how much the crowd cares about Lupe's lyrical concerns on the War on Terror and 9/11 conspiracy theories, but regardless, the MC still knows how to work a crowd..."Newman, Jason (March 29, 2011). "Watch Snoop Dogg And Lupe Fiasco Perform At MTV Spring Break 2011". MTV. It was added by Kathy Iandoli, "Despite the incredibly ominous tone in the lyrics of the single, the crowd didn't seem to mind, cheering and waving their hands playfully volleying balloons. Hopefully some of Lupe's message seeped into their chlorine stained heads."
