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 didn't tell her he didn't belong

There was no

[Chorus:]
Intruder [x4]
Alert [x4]

He said nobody else ever loved em (him)
That's 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 can't escape
Even tho it's of his own construction
Maybe you can relate
Maybe you one of those that just doesn't
Maybe he doesn't 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 you
Treat you like equals
Decieve you
Stamp you
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]
