Lupe Fiasco - Intruder Alert lyrics

(feat. Sarah Green, Matthew Santos)

She said that there was no love in her heart

Cuz 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

Probly could help her start

He was sincere made her believe it was safe

For her to trust again

Before long she was cool to givin hugs to him

Knew that it was right cuz somethin was wrong

The alarms in her mind didnt tell her he didnt belong

There was no

[Chorus:]

Intruder [x4]

Alert [x4]

He said nobody else ever loved em (him)

Thats why he get high enough to go touch the heavens above em

Vividly remembers every pipe

Every needle that stuck em

Every alley he ever slept in

Every purse that he snuck in

Every level of hell he's been to

And the one that he's stuck in

The one he cant escape

Even tho it's of his own construction

Maybe you can relate

Maybe you one of those that just doesnt

Maybe he doesnt care

Loves to allow these demons to come in

With no

[Chorus:]

Intruder [x4]

Alert [x4]

Famine stricken his home

Land and no social standing

In the economic pecking order

Emergency relief

Distribution systems is in disorder

He's checking water making sure

It's safe enough for his

Daughter to float across in

The boat he built

Hopefully strong enough to support

Prayin border patrols

Don't catch her

And process and deport her

Before she reach the shore

Of the land of the free

Where they feed u

Treat u like equals

Decieve you

Stamp u

And call you illegal

[Chorus:]

Intruder [x4]

Alert [x4]

Singin'

Is someone here

And it's not me

How could this be

I have my source

And my army is on my (something)

Don't know this line

I'm so full of (SOMETHING)

I built my wall so high

SOOOOOO WHYYYYYYY OOOO'

YYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Intruder [repeat]

[ends song with repeated intruder]
