Intruder Alert

Lupe Fiasco

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

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.

There's someone here
and it's not me.
Have you been seen at my door.
Can my eyes be on my show.
Where my rock is at my sky.
I'm so full of time.
I've built my wall so high,
so why, oh why?
