    New song from Lupe Fiasco American Terrorist 3
    Hello Gorgeous
    This phone call's probably being recorded
    Just know that I did it for the four of us
    And those motherfuckers 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, seems
    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 shit
    [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 book's 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]

    Man wakes up after going through a life changing experience (war), begins to question life and its purpose. Starts putting the pieces together of all the fucked up things that people never question. Decides to go to the higher power, knowing that they will probably turn him away, which it did. Shows that race is not of importance, the man in charge cares about no one but himself. Man feels lost and hopeless.

    *Always speak in opposites* You are a great human being, and your command of the English language and general demeanor lets everyone around you know just how much of a well educated gentleman you are. Everyone loves you.
    Nah, just yanking your cervix. On a serious note, good to see a Lupe fan like you on here. I can tell you are devoted since you happen to know his ancestors are from Niger. Props on your devotion, my brother.
