American Terrorist Iii Lyrics - Lupe Fiasco

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, 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 shit

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 

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

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 

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 

There's something inside you 

It's hard to explain 

They're talking about you boy 

But you're still the same 

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
