[00:02.72] Yeah, yeah
[00:09.28] Look
[00:10.33] This ain't a tan, my skin the same color as sand
[00:12.94] From the motherland, look down and see the world in my hands
[00:15.58] Government bans, I'm just here to **** up the plans
[00:18.42] Dance after dance, just like the world is stuck in a trance (Amen)
[00:22.40] There's nothin' more priceless than bein' free
[00:24.57] Immigrant, that's why they hate me just for bein' me
[00:26.88] We ain't wanna leave overseas, we were under siege
[00:29.62] Leave us in shallow graves, but still the love is deep
[00:32.33] Bloodline royal, need our seat back
[00:34.94] 40s in the foil, had to boil where I sleep at
[00:37.36] Tell you that they love you, that they loyal, they can keep that
[00:40.14] They don't want the soil, just the oil that's beneath that
[00:42.77] Back to feed the people, **** your pity and your feedback
[00:45.38] Racin' with time, it's gettin' hard to even keep track
[00:48.10] They sold democracy for a discount
[00:51.19] Nothing's addin' up, that's why I gotta make this **** count, uh
[00:53.60]
[00:53.80] When freedom comes, better lock your door
[00:58.50] Freedom comes, it ain't safe anymore
[01:03.04] Freedom comes, oh, no, don't look away
[01:08.37] Freedom comes, had to wait for the day
[01:13.97] (Wait, wait, wait, for freedom)
[01:14.93]
[01:15.13] Yeah, lock us behind a wall like we was Mexicans
[01:18.67] Broad-day shootouts in front of pedestrians
[01:21.09] Young ****** ride in hearses 'fore they touch a Benz
[01:23.60] Muslims loadin' up AKs, dead presidents
[01:26.06] Call from the White House, they said meet with Trump
[01:29.04] I'm only comin' if they pardon and put Meech in front
[01:31.66] Politic with Robert Kraft while we're eatin' lunch
[01:34.38] Tellin' him 'bout how Kaepernick tryna free us up
[01:37.35] I don't wanna hear no Stormy Daniels
[01:39.71] When a little girl got shot in the head, ain't see no cameras
[01:42.23] From no CNN, I'm in the trenches where ****** vanish
[01:44.85] And they never show that **** on the TV, it's propaganda
[01:47.27] No proper manners, dropped out of school, I got a hammer
[01:50.35] Get locked in slammers 'fore we could read, no time to scramble
[01:52.92] Soon as I came out my mama womb it's time to gamble
[01:55.92] 'Cause your life on the line when you're young
[01:57.47] Black or Spanish, word up
[01:58.63]
[01:58.79] When freedom comes, better lock your door
[02:03.38] Freedom comes, it ain't safe anymore
[02:08.57] Freedom comes, oh, no, don't look away
[02:14.39] Freedom comes, had to wait for the day
[02:19.33] (Wait, wait, wait, for freedom)
[02:20.89]
[02:21.04] Huh, oh Lord, we need a breakthrough
[02:23.27] Lock our babies up and then they tell us that it's fake news
[02:25.64] Yes, Lord, we need a breakthrough
[02:28.66] Build a ******' wall, I guarantee the people break through
[02:31.82] I went to Hell and back, you can tell 'em that
[02:33.87] Can't interact with all these snakes so I'm scalin' back
[02:36.26] They already set the traps for a million rats
[02:38.87] I'm goin' numb prayin' I can get the feelin' back
[02:41.47] All I hear on the news is collusion
[02:44.01] But I guess parole just rushin' to conclusions, huh?
[02:47.22] It's an illusion that's fueled by confusion
[02:49.47] We can't lose if no one feuds within the movement, huh?
[02:52.66] They watch us suffer for amusement
[02:54.71] Lose when they only run until they lose wind
[02:57.56] European plates on them foreign bumpers
[03:00.52] The president would rather see us wearin' orange jumpers
[03:03.06]
[03:03.65] Our land is holy, our land is history
[03:09.65] Our land is ours and **** that, victory
[03:15.08] Our land is holy, our land is history
[03:19.71] We used to be minorities, now we're a country
[03:25.96] On alert about immigration
[03:27.71] The President has deliberately chose this narrative
[03:29.31] Vilifying Black and Brown folk
[03:31.46] We are a border land, we are border people, we are...
[03:34.24] ...country comment...
[03:35.37] He's talking about...
[03:36.12] ...immigration, as we know it...
[03:36.93] ...border crossers..
[03:37.58] The fact of the matter is that
[03:38.98] He's trying to get everyone in this country afraid
[03:41.07] ...he's trying to get people...
[03:42.08] You don't hear him using this narrative
[03:44.67] When he's talking about other immigrants in this...
[03:46.71] We are all immigrants
