Intruder Alert Songtext
von Lupe Fiasco feat. Sarah Green

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
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
No wonder he can't escape, even though it′s of his own construction

And 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
Alert, alert, alert, alert
Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
Alert, alert, alert, alert

There's someone here and it's not me how could this be?
I locked my doors, get my armies on my shore
They pulled my rockets and my sky, I′m so fortified
I built my wall so high, so why oh why are there?

Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder
