Lupe Fiasco Feat. Sarah Green - Intruder Alert lyrics

rate me

She said, “There was no love in her heart”<br />

'Cause one day, a rapist attacked her and broke that all apart<br />

She said, “There was no way to fix it or to cover her scars”<br />

Then one day a guy came along that probably could help her start<br />

<br />

He was sincere made her believe it was safe for her to trust again<br />

Before long, she was cool with givin' hugs to him<br />

Knew that it was right, 'cause somethin' was wrong<br />

The alarms in her mind didn't tell her he didn't belong there was no<br />

<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Alert, alert, alert, alert<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Alert, alert, alert, alert<br />

<br />

He said, “Nobody else ever loved him”<br />

That's why, he get high enough to go touch the heavens above him<br />

Vividly remembers every pipe, every needle that stuck him<br />

Every alley he ever slept in, every purse that he snuck in<br />

<br />

Every level of hell he's been to, and the one that he's stuck in<br />

No wonder he can't escape, even though it's of his own construction<br />

Maybe you can relate, maybe you just one of those that just doesn't<br />

Maybe he doesn't care, loves to allow these demons to come in with no<br />

<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Alert, alert, alert, alert<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Alert, alert, alert, alert<br />

<br />

Famine strikin' his home-land and no social standin'<br />

And the economic peckin' order<br />

Emergency relief distribution systems is in disorder<br />

He's checkin' water, makin' sure it's safe enough for his daughter<br />

<br />

To float across in the boat he built<br />

Hopefully strong enough to support her<br />

Prayin' border patrols don't catch her ass<br />

Process and deport her<br />

<br />

Before she reach the shore, of the land of the free<br />

Where they feed you, treat you like equals<br />

Deceive you, stamp you and call you illegal<br />

And there's an<br />

<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Alert, alert, alert, alert<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Alert, alert, alert, alert<br />

<br />

There's someone here and it's not me how could this be?<br />

I locked my doors, get my armies on my shore<br />

They pulled my rockets and my sky, I'm so fortified<br />

I built my wall so high, so why oh why are there?<br />

<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder<br />

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
