Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist II Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Through the fire, smoke, and broken rubble
Walks the secret life, bullet-proof and bulging muscle
Death-defying, highest flying over trouble
Can you please come and help us out our hopeless struggles
In the face of all these enemies and crying out
Losing all this energy from finding out
The world is filled with ills, ever so close to timing out
[Hook]
Where, are those heroes
Where, are those super-heroes
[Verse 2]
Pondering, that super-villain’s got a point
Flicked the ashes down into the street below
Looked up, said he hate the city now, even though
He swore that he’d protect it when he landed
Their perspective’s now changed, all pretty much abandoned
The captain spray cologne around and said he understand it
It’s getting hard to separate the saints from the satanic
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Last remarks, they did it to themselves
I killed off heaven, now I live in hell
So complicit and they all non-survival
Told them that they biggest rival is inside you
I do possess the power to revive you
But if I did that, I’d just have to fight you
Cause you truly are the hero and the villain
The world stood froze, hearing a truth so chilling
Reporters start filming, somebody shouted, “Kill him!”
He looked back in disgust and flew up to the ceiling
Busted through the roof and kicked over the building
Before it hit the ground, a younger hero flew around
And put it on his shoulders, said you’re naive now
But believe, you’ll believe me when you’re older
Every asteroid you stop and bomb you fly up into space
You ain’t saving them from danger, you’re keeping danger safe
[Hook]

Lupe Fiasco American Terrorist II Comments
I’m out here 2019 ... I’ll be back 2020 LUPE! 🔥✌🏼
Lupe will always be that one dude that, simple folk, just dont get!
Spotify
Man I just spent the past 4 days looking for this song
I even listened to number 1 and didnt even clue in I just thought the name was familiar OMGGGG lmao
This song makes me want to do better for the world
"Either you die a Hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villan."
-The Joker
Um... Two-face
love your beat, but that is how you hide.
Some of his most in depth creative work to date. And he's still impressing.😎
Third verse reminds me of Kingdom Come, Superman flying into the UN. Also like the idea of It Gordon smokin a fat blunt. F&F up!
Remembered this song when going through artists i don't listen to anymore, used to be a huge Lupe fan and this is still a banger.
All those "mature" People would rather accept a world full of terrorism and war instead of a revolution because it will ruin their already ruined order
I wish someone made an animated video for this lol
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY????
Genius, just sayin
Fuck pac!
this song was Produced by TheFatRat guys
This the most realist shit ever
Pac is more literal and emotional. Lupe is more intellectual and metaphorical. just different ways of expression but both have the same motivations, speaking about the world's ills. Pac no doubt has more influence but Lupe is better technically imo
Random hi yoh
The shit too real for simple ears
one of the best rappers
How did this not make it to any of his albums thou, shm. Lu been deep since.......
i have came to a concolusion lupe is the eintstien of rap
sounds comercial.
not really just listen to the lyrics
Literally the theme song for Watchmen
Best song ive ever heard👌
its gettin hard 2 seperate the saints frm the satanic
its gettin hard 2 seperate the saints frm the satanic
DPJ?????
was it the dog tag emblem video??
damn what vid was it?? i wanna know what vid he used this song from.
you ain't saving them from danger, you're keeping danger safe
This line though... From Black Lives Matters to the State's ears.
Can someone explain to me the continuity between the 3 american terrorist songs? Like I just don't see it.
American Terrorist 2 he shows that the terrorist was a hero at some point . Two sides to every story , a terrorist in one persons eyes is a hero in others. In 2 u get the broad view of a person transitioning from realizing the people he want to save actually represent the evil in the world that he despises. In 3 u get a more personal look at who the terrorist is. Really cool song in my opinion.🙌🙌🙌🙌
@darius jones Ahh I see. Thanks!
+darius jones can explain it more plz I like to understand it completely 1-3 thnks
+darius jones yessssssss
Tupac is shit compared to Lupe
+Joshua Barns you are shit when compared to shit
+Taxidermistification lol
this song is about us......cant stop our movement we comin (superheros)
How the hell did the lupe vs. Tupac argument start?? Their totally different types of artists! And I know I'm gonna fet attacked but bottom line pac was overrated. #Facts btw Lupe is 1 of the illest out right now. He is ALWAYS on some other shit, taking HUGE risks to make the music he wants to make instead of just taking mad$$$from a label & agreeing to "take suggestions &do what's in the companys interest. 90% of "signed" artists are told how & with who to work with on their music. Especially albums! Mixtapes are a different story... im done.
i got chewed out for saying that Pac wasn't a lyricist...and it's like...he wasn't. he was a rapper who spoke about some real stuff at times..but he's not a lyricist like Lupe or Wale...
@xyOnThePrecipice21 EXACTLY! Ppl bug out & give waay too much credit to an artist posthumously. #FACTS
Joe Joey Spilzwell Volpe tupac is my fav rapper not over rated at all but lupe fiasco is the best rapper of all time
you cant be saying Tupac is ovverated, you aint been listening to his music properly, he was a good lyricist but I agree he wasn't the best. He touched a lot of people because he spoke about real stuff but at the same time he could spit bars
did you just compare Tupac with wale ? smh that's just too much

the only comparison that may reflect thru is that both had/have family ties to the black panthers
This song is so underrated..
Ninja Halo reach montage <3
The NINJ!!
"He wants the sauce!"
Now he is a Fortnite player...
Lol @ people getting offended at Lupe being better than pac.
First off, they're on different pages, barely the same book. I love Changes by Pac. All I can accurately say, is if Lupe and Pac were both given IQ tests, Lupe would score off the charts.
let me just start off by stating ive been a lupe fan since FnL, with that being said lupe is about 31 pac died at 25. The influence and vision pac had surpassed lupe no doubt. but I guess if you just base being "better" on IQ, then that really doesn't matter
Think you underestimate Pac tbh. Lupe is a genius though, musically he is one of the best. Occasionally gets it wrong though.
Pac certainly accomplished a lot in his 25 years. I think that's the age Lupe released Food & Liquor. I'd say Lupe's artistry surpases Pac's. But that's because Pac had so little time to accomplish such mastery
Great song!
Favourite Song :DD
I dont like it I love it♥
SiCKKKKKKKKK
You people know this song is directed at Chief Keef after the twitter beef...
What project was this for or from? Can't even remember.
Think the unthinkable♡
Most amazing track from Food And Liquor Part 2 The Great American Rap Album I loved all of the tracks Lupe Fiasco never disappoints! I also got a lot of respect for this dude since 2006!
like if ninja brought u here,halo reach montage
the only one who compares to pac is biggy
Remington Rowe biggie was good for his era but dare not compare. It's only popular to say that.
This is so real. Think before you sign up to fight a war. Make sure the reason you're fighting is legit.
k buddy relax there.
Good on ya fiasco for having the balls to release tracks such as this...
Lupe, in some ways, is like a new age Pac. This is powerful
nice song
Under-rated track. Nuff said.
Yeah really under rated track! I found this on "Slight Work 3" mixtape the very last track by pure accident. Can't get enough. Really progressive and awesome. Loving the crossover beats
