[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

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

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 a**
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

[Outro: Sarah Green]
There's someone here, and it's not me
How could this be? I locked my doors
Kept my armies on my shore
Point my rockets at the sky
I'm so fortified
I built my wall so high
So why oh why are there
