Lupe Fiasco ft. Sarah Green - Intruder Alert Lyrics

She said that 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

That's why he get high enough to go touch the heavens above him
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

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
And 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 when there's an

There's someone here, and it's not me
How could this be? I locked my doors
Kept my armies on my shore
And point my rockets at my sky
I'm so fortified
I built my wall so high
So why oh why are there?
