[Lupe Fiasco, Sarah Green - Intruder Alert lyrics]
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 he didn't belong there was no
Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
Alert (Alert) , alert, alert, alert
Intruder (Intruder) , intruder, intruder, intruder
Alert, alert, alert, alert
He said nobody else ever loved him
That's why he 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 in
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 one of those that just doesn't
Maybe he doesn't care
Loves to allow these demons to come in
With no
Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
Alert, alert, alert (Alert) , alert
Intruder, intruder
(Intruder) , intruder, intruder
Alert (Alert) , alert (Alert) , alert (Alert) , alert
Famine strikin' his homeland and
No social standin'
In the economic peckin' order
Emergency relief distribution systems
Is in disorder he's checkin' water
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 patrols don't catch her ass
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, stamp you and call you illegal
And there's an
Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
(Intruder) alert, alert
(Alert) , alert (Alert) alert (Alert)
Intruder (Intruder) , intruder, intruder (Intruder) , intruder
Alert, alert, alert (Alert) , alert (Alert)
There's someone here and it's not me
How could this be? I locked my doors
(This be)
Kept my armies on my shore (My shore)
And point my rockets at my sky
I'm so fortified
I built my walls so high (So high)
So why, oh why? (So, why?) are there
Intruder, intruder, intruder
(Intruder) , intruder intruder, intruder
