Lupe Fiasco - Intruder Alert ft. Sarah Green lyrics

rate me

She said there was no love in her heart,

cause one day a rapist attacked her and broke that all apart.

She said there was no way to fix it

or to cover her scars.

Then one day a guy came along that probably could help her start.

He was sincere, made her believe it was safe for her to trust again,

before long she was cool with givin hugs to him.

Knew that it was right,

cause somethin was wrong.

The alarms in her mind didn't tell her that he went along

And there was an

intruder intruder intruder intruder

alert alert alert alert

intruder intruder intruder intruder

alert alert alert alert.

He said nobody else ever loved him,

that's why he'd get high enough to go touch the heavens above him.

Vividly remembers every pipe, every needle that stuck him.

Every alley he ever slept in,

every purse that he snuck

and every level of hell he's been to

and the one that he's stuck in.

The one he can't escape,

even though it's of his own construction.

Maybe you can relate,

maybe you're one of those who just does

and maybe he just doesn't care.

Loves to allow these demons to comfort

With no

intruder intruder intruder intruder

alert alert alert alert

intruder intruder intruder intruder

alert alert alert alert.

Famine strikin his home,

landin on social standing,

and the economic peking order

emergency relief distribution systems is in disorder.

He's checkin more and makin sure it's safe enough for his daughter to float across in the boat he built,

hopefully strong enough to support her,

prayin border patrol don't catch her, process and deport her before she reach the shore of the land of the free,

where they feed you, treat you like equals, deceive you and stamp you and call you illegal.

Where there's a

intruder intruder intruder intruder

alert alert alert alert

intruder intruder intruder intruder

alert alert alert alert.

There's someone here

and it's not me.

Have you been seen at my door.

have my armies on my shore

Where my rock is at my sky.

I'm so full of fire.

I've built my wall so high,

so why, oh why?

Intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder intruder.
