[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
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

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
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

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Famine strikin' his home-land 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

[Bridge: Sarah Green]
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 the sky
I'm so fortified
I built my walls so high (So high)
So why, oh why? (So... why?)
Are there?

Lupe Fiasco

The Chicago born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco first tasted success when he featured on Kanye West’s hit “Touch the Sky”, a track that shortly preceded his real breakout, his 2006 debut album Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor, and he never looked back. He has established himself as one of the greatest urban wordsmiths of all time, with Genius even dubbing him the ‘Proust of Rap’.

While he’s now regarded of one of the 21st Century’s Hip-Hop greats, he wasn’t always a fan of the genre, initially disliking it due to the prominence of vulgarity and misogyny within it. In his late teens, he aspired to make it as a lyricist. In his early twenty’s, he met Jay-Z, who helped him sign with Atlantic Records in 2005. The following year, he released his debut album (Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor), which was met with acclaim from fans and critics alike, as did his sophomore effort, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool.

The following eight years of his career saw far less output than many would’ve anticipated. This can be partly attributed to his struggles with Atlantic Records. The executives wanted him to sign a 360 deal; however, as he refused to do so they instead shelved his already completed 3rd album, Lasers, and wouldn’t promote him as they had previously. The overseers at the label also interfered with his music (as they had tried to do with his fan-favorite track “Dumb it Down”); subsequently effecting the quality and sound of his third and fourth albums.
