Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion. In the international community, however, terrorism has no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or, ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for protection rackets or to enforce a code of silence is usually not labeled terrorism though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.
The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged, and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. Studies have found over 100 definitions of “terrorism”. The concept of terrorism may itself be controversial as it is often used by state authorities (and individuals with access to state support) to delegitimize political or other opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of armed force against opponents (such use of force may itself be described as "terror" by opponents of the state).
Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco ( /ˈluːpeɪ/ LOO-pay), is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor. He also performs as the frontman of rock band Japanese Cartoon under his real name. As an entrepreneur, Fiasco is the chief executive officer of 1st and 15th Entertainment.
Raised in Chicago, Fiasco developed an interest in hip hop after initially disliking the genre for its use of vulgarity. After adopting the name Lupe Fiasco and recording songs in his father's basement, 19-year-old Fiasco joined a group called Da Pak. The group disbanded shortly after its inception, and Fiasco soon met rapper Jay-Z who helped him sign a record deal with Atlantic Records. In 2006, Fiasco released his debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor on the label, which received three Grammy nominations. He released his second album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, in December 2007. The lead single "Superstar" peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. He released Lasers on March 8, 2011 after a two-year delay. The album's lead single "The Show Goes On" peaked at number 9 on the chart, thus becoming his most successful single since "Superstar".

John is a youth growing up in the ghetto.
He never trouble no one.
He went to school, and was taught the rule,
Of how not to be a fool.
He knows the streets the corners, and the lanes,
Where pebbles just a shower like rain,
And with all of that he wasn't involve,
For that's not his problem to solve
No, no. no, no, no
So he walked away, away, away
And headed up the road
There he met his brethren
So they start to reason
About what was taking place
Right in front of their very face.
Terrorist crawl in
And it's a awful scene
Blood and fire, vapours of smoke
And I know that's not a joke.
See it a gwaan down the lane
Watch how the people them a run up and down.
All over
Two man make a dip
Then they ease the tool off their hip
So they release the clip
Shot start fly
Man and woman a run up and down
All over town
[Intro]
So, We must ask ourselves, What is the dictionary definition of "Terrorism"?
The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
But what is terror?
According to the dictionary I hold in my hand, Terror, is violent or destructive acts
Such as bombing committed by groups in order to intimidate a population,
Or government into granting their demands
So whats a terrorist?
[Hook]
They're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I'm all about peace and love
They calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge..
[Verse 1]
It seems like the Rag-heads and Paki's are worrying your Dad
But your dad's favorite food is curry and kebab
It's funny, but it's sad how they make your mummy hurry with her bags
Rather read The Sun than study all the facts
Tell me, what's the bigger threat to human society
BAE Systems or home made IED's
Remote controlled drones, killing off human lives
Or man with home made bomb committing suicide
I know you were terrified when you saw the towers fall
It's all terror but some forms are more powerful
It seems nuts, how could there be such agony
When more Israeli's die from peanut allergies
It's like the definition didn't ever exist
I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They're telling fibs, now tell us who the real terrorist is
[Hook]
They're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I'm all about peace and love
They calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge..
[Verse 2]
Lumumba was democracy - Mossadegh was democracy
Allende was democracy - Hypocrisy it bothers me
Call you terrorists if you don't wanna be a colony
We used to bow down to a policy of robbery
Is terrorism my lyrics?
When more Vietnam vets kill themselves after the war than died in it?
This is very basic..
One nation in the world has over a thousand military bases
They say it's religion, when clearly it isn't
It's not just Muslims that oppose your imperialism
Is Hugo Chavez a Muslim? Nah.. I didn't think so
Is Castro a Muslim? Nah.. I didn't think so
It's like the definition didn't ever exist
I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They're telling fibs, now tell us who the terrorist is
[Hook]
They're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I'm all about peace and love
They calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge..
[Outro x2]
You think that I don't know,
But I know, I know, I know
You think that we don't know
But we know
You think that I don't know,
But I know, I know, I know
You think that we don't know
But we DO
Was Building 7 terrorism?
Was nanothermite terrorism?
Diego Garcia was terrorism,
I am conscious the Contras was terrorism,
Phosphorous that burns hands - that is terrorism,
Irgun and Stern Gang that was terrorism,
What they did in Hiroshima was terrorism,
What they did in Fallujah was terrorism,
Mandela ANC - that was terrorism,
Jerry Adams IRA - that was terrorism,
Eric Prince black water - it was terrorism,
Oklahoma, McVeigh - that was terrorism,
Everyday USA - that is terrorism,
Everyday UK - that is terrorism,
Once upon a time
statement of design
Thought I'd found my path
I thought I'd walk the line
But when the future came
I saw who was to blame
'cuz when you're standing there
nothing really is the same
I told her stay away
I told her yesterday
I wanted everything
I gotta find my way
When you hear the sound
you see me coming round
That's when I'm almost there
you better hit the ground
'cuz if I say it twice
ain't gonna say it nice
When I blow it up
I'm gonna blow it right
Another second's rest
another terrorist
You need to keep it real
or put it to the test
I hope you're hearing me
I hope that now you see
That all the time we lost
was really time we need
No time left to bleed
No time for sin and greed
No time to throw away
just a little time to pray
So here we here we go
now it's time to decide
Because I true believer's always ready to die
If it's true what they say
then it doesn't matter anyway
And if it does
then you just threw it all away
The beginning of the end
starts right about now
But we're gonna make it through somehow
So in the end
if you've always believed
Then you better give it all
when you give it to me
Break
and fall away
It's like a method
where nothing remains
It's a chance to start again
a singularity
And in the absence of trust
I found some clarity
The more you hate
the more you feel
The more you wait
the more you see that none of this is real
Breakdown
waiting for the shakedown
Hurry up and wait now
waiting for the takedown but
I leave a trace behind
it's like a signature
It's still a miracle
that I remember her
Absent minds killing time
try to free your mind
'cuz when I'm gone then it's on
try to reassign
You can run and hide
it doesn't matter see?
You can leave or belong
it's all the same to me
Our day will come
it's just a question of time
And remember when you're dying
On my way on coming down
I had a vision of loss
On my way from the coroner
I left it out all lying in a box
It's been a long time coming
And your time's coming
Round, round, round the clock
And your sweet surrender
I'll hold
How many times will the culprit kill?
With the help of the president
A perfect kill
In the meadow there's a child
With a bullet in his head
In your bed
Assume your dead
Tick, tick, boom!
Your days of glory
Have long been beside you
Running round in circles
Gotcha feeling like you're some kind of slug
And I'm so sorry
To bleed for the
Heavenly devil
Your sweet surrender
I'll hold
How many times will the culprit kill?
With the help of the president
A perfect kill
In the meadow there's a child
With a bullet in his head
In your bed
Assume your dead
Tick, tick!
How many times will the culprit kill?
With the help of the president
A perfect kill
In the meadow there's a child
With a bullet in his head
In your bed
Assume your dead
Anti-christian terrorist
Grim slaughterer of life
Let's massacre the Christians
And worship global death !!!
-Terrorist, satanist, terrorist, satanist
The black satanic hellcommand
The Architects of death
Suicide of sacrifice
They (all) fulfilled their oath of hell
You sow the seeds of (pure) hatred
And position the words from all Gods (TO DEATH !!!!!!!!)
-Terrorist, satanist, terrorist, satanist
The glorification of evil
You're stigmatized by Hell
A purgatorial blessing
you follow me on the fuckin street
you make me feel like a piece of meat
you think i don't know what war means
now i'm the terrorist see how it feels
i'm going to kill you
i'll cut you up, gouge out your eyes
i'm going to kill you
i'm not your prey i'll make you die
on my mouth there is a gag
everything i say is wrong
you laugh at me and knock me down
well now your turn is coming around
i'm going to kill you
i'll cut you up, gouge out your eyes
i'm going to kill you
i'm not your prey i'll make you die
i'm not kidding
i've had it just about to here
i'm not kidding
The plane takes off, your seatbelt's on
The man next to you whispers "I've got a bomb"
You freak out
How to respond?
What if he's joking? Don't overreact.
Just giggle and smile. God what if he's ac-tually
And air marshal testing you
Better look slightly concerned
Think it through now. Did he actually say
What you think that he said. Is your hearing ok?
'Cos you can't dob him in
If he simply said "My name is Tom"
Well you could take the chance, there's no room to doubt it.
If you do and you're wrong, you could both laugh about it
And you and Tom might become really good friends
Or it might just get awkward until the flight ends
'Cos pretty high up on the "making friends error" list
Is the act of calling your friend a terrorist.
Back to the present. You better think quick.
It's getting unpleasant. He's starting to tick.
Well that's all the proof that you need, come on now take a lead
(Spoken) But what if it's a pacemaker?
You don't want to worsen his heart valve condition
If he's falsely accused, he could die of derision
And anyway you are still patting yourself
On the back for rhyming "error list" with "terrorist"
He's gone to the toilet. This is your chance.
Tell the hostess, wash the guilt from your hands.
But what if he's not a highjacker and he
Is just Tom with a heart problem doing a wee?
He's just killed a passenger. Hands in the air.
Everyone's screaming. There's blood everywhere.
Well maybe now you could inform the attendant.
You've got enough proof to suggest you could end it
But what if, just what if it's only an act
And the woman he killed is pretending in fact.
It's a world first performance of Hamlet again,
It's a modern adaption and it's set on a plane
And you don't want to much the show up.
The plane's going down. There's not long to go.
You grab a small child to cushion the blow
Then Tom walks past to your surprise
You grab a plastic utensil and gouge out his eyes.
You feel like a hero
'Til the pilot starts speaking
He says "Sorry about the unexpected turbulence"
"Our performance of Hamlet will resume in 20 minutes"
"And please give a round of applause to your special guest actor... Tom Hanks"
You've just eye-gouged Tom Hanks. You're being arrested
And the kid that you grabbed is claiming he was molested by you.
Life can change.
Life can change so fast. One minute you're a passenger then you're eye gouging film stars
And as you lie in jail
You get a letter in the mail
It says "Thanks". It's from Tom Hanks
