Immigrant - Belly, Meek Mill, M.I.A.

Yeah, yeah

Look

This ain’t a tan, my skin the same color as sand

From the motherland, look down and see the world in my hands

Government bans, I’m just here to fuck up the plans

Dance after dance, just like the world is stuck in a trance (Amen)

There’s nothin' more priceless than bein' free

Immigrant, that’s why they hate me just for bein' me

We ain’t wanna leave overseas, we were under siege

Leave us in shallow graves, but still the love is deep

Bloodline royal, need our seat back

40s in the foil, had to boil where I sleep at

Tell you that they love you, that they loyal, they can keep that

They don’t want the soil, just the oil that’s beneath that

Back to feed the people, fuck your pity and your feedback

Racin' with time, it’s gettin' hard to even keep track

They sold democracy for a discount

Nothing’s addin' up, that’s why I gotta make this shit count, uh

When freedom comes, better lock your door

Freedom comes, it ain’t safe anymore

Freedom comes, oh, no, don’t look away

Freedom comes, had to wait for the day

(Wait, wait, wait, for freedom)

Yeah, lock us behind a wall like we was Mexicans

Broad-day shootouts in front of pedestrians

Young niggas ride in hearses 'fore they touch a Benz

Muslims loadin' up AKs, dead presidents

Call from the White House, they said meet with Trump

I’m only comin' if they pardon and put Meech in front

Politic with Robert Kraft while we’re eatin' lunch

Tellin' him 'bout how Kaepernick tryna free us up

I don’t wanna hear no Stormy Daniels

When a little girl got shot in the head, ain’t see no cameras

From no CNN, I’m in the trenches where niggas vanish

And they never show that shit on the TV, it’s propaganda

No proper manners, dropped out of school, I got a hammer

Get locked in slammers 'fore we could read, no time to scramble

Soon as I came out my mama womb it’s time to gamble

'Cause your life on the line when you’re young, Black or Spanish, word up

When freedom comes, better lock your door

Freedom comes, it ain’t safe anymore

Freedom comes, oh, no, don’t look away

Freedom comes, had to wait for the day

(Wait, wait, wait, for freedom)

Huh, oh Lord, we need a breakthrough

Lock our babies up and then they tell us that it’s fake news

Yes, Lord, we need a breakthrough

Build a fuckin' wall, I guarantee the people break through

I went to Hell and back, you can tell 'em that

Can’t interact with all these snakes so I’m scalin' back

They already set the traps for a million rats

I’m goin' numb prayin' I can get the feelin' back

All I hear on the news is collusion

But I guess parole just rushin' to conclusions, huh?

It’s an illusion that’s fueled by confusion

We can’t lose if no one feuds within the movement, huh?

They watch us suffer for amusement

Lose when they only run until they lose wind

European plates on them foreign bumpers

The president would rather see us wearin' orange jumpers

Our land is holy, our land is history

Our land is ours and fuck that, victory

Our land is holy, our land is history

We used to be minorities, now we’re a country

On alert about immigration

The President has deliberately chose this narrative, vilifying Black and Brown

folk

We are a border land, we are border people, we are…

…country comment…

He’s talking about…

…immigration, as we know it…

…border crossers.

The fact of the matter is that he’s trying to get everyone in this country

afraid

…he's trying to get people…

You don’t hear him using this narrative when he’s talking about other

immigrants in this…

We are all immigrants
