Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist III lyrics

[Verse 1 - Lupe Fiasco] Hello Gorgeous This phone call's probably being recorded Just know that I did it for the four of us And those motherf**ers 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 sh** [Hook] 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 [Verse 2 - Lupe Fiasco] 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 [Hook] [Verse 3 - Lupe Fiasco] I know you don't watch but your brother was on TV Couple guys in black suits 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 [Bridge] There's something inside you It's hard to explain They're talking about you boy But you're still the same [Hook]
