Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist III lyrics

Hello Gorgeous
This phone call's probably being recorded
Just know that I did it for the four of us
And those motherfuckers kept ignorin' us
After this I'm going underground
If they come asking give them the run-around
How does Costa Rica in the summer sound?
Couple days then we moving to another town
Yea I know them dreams, seams
Just know that time'll never come between
Space either, fake features
Things that we reject but
Connects all us believers
The insurrection's gone viral
They'll never stop it now
I hope it all spirals
Outta control, like a dam with a hole
From here on out it's all about survival
The way we left things they
Probably think we rivals but don't be naive
They hate you more than I do
Remember always speak in opposites
I hate you so much, it's such a compliment
I know that defies the common sense
But we ain't never been right: honestness
We never fit in school, and never did rules
But who'd a thought we'd
Turn out bombing shit

I'm giving you a nightcall to
Tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through
The night down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you
Don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's
Dark but have no fear

He said he was just so tired
Of them fighting our water with fire
He said that we need something drier
To really impress the empire
Funny cause he really hated war
But why we went to war is
What he really hated more
Said it's silly how that our schools make us
Stupid and our jobs make us poor
When he came back from the Corps
Is when he really got serious
Read a lot of books
Started acting all mysterious
The VA is what really made him furious
Told him his condition didn't exist, period
That's why he started that petition
Went all the way to Washington
Said they didn't listen
To a white male Christian
He just laughed when they
Took our father's pension
He said that you gotta act in opposites
Helps you hide your tracks when you
Stand up to the dominant
But, I knew he felt bad
Told me later was the saddest day he ever had
To see our dad so hopeless
That was the turning point that's
What really gave him focus
I didn't agree with everything
Some of it made sense
But never thought that he would
Do something like this

I'm giving you a nightcall to
Tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through
The night down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you
Don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's
Dark but have no fear

I know you don't watch but
Your brother was on TV
Couple guys in black suit's came
Around to see me
They went through all your books and
Took all of your CDs
My granny said you'd be all right
She saw it in the tea leaves
All the operations going well
Had a lotta contact from all the other cells
Everybody, everywhere is calling you a hero
They going through the rubble
But the body count is zero
It's all violent and bloodless
I know the government really loves this
This account is hacked
You know how to keep in touch
I'll never see you again, I hate you so much

There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But, you're still the same

I'm giving you a nightcall to
Tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through
The night down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you
Don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's
Dark but have no fear
