Illegal
[Truth Universal]
Now get it straight, we didn't risk our lives to assimilate We came to work and fill our breakfast lunch and dinner plates I'm in your state but my own culture I won't throw away Your free trade made me a banana boat stowaway Wave our flag and embrace the arrogant whites Don't abandon culture for no stars and stripes Go back to my country? Well now you're being ignorant United States was founded by some European immigrants Who committed genocide, when they came from elsewhere We just just ask for jobs, drivers licenses and healthcare You've got the wealth here from exploiting the earth Tell me why you give a fuck about my country of birth
Exploitation make life in we nation hard We leave that for an alien immigration registration card Deport me if you have to but I'm maintaining me innocence The only thing I'm guilty of is being an immigrant Say exploitation make life in we nation hard That for an alien immigration registration card Deport me if you have to but I'm maintaining me innocence The only thing I'm guilty of is being an immigrant
[Sun Rise Above]
The immigration debate taking place is mental masturbation Media saturation, but workers have no nation Yet today they say that positions an aberration 'Cause internationalism don't mash with their system Got people imprisoned behind borders, invisible lines Dotting the globe, capital cross when it please People drop to their knees, rock their hearts on their sleeves Nationalists slashing their backs so they constantly bleed Raise the cost of the seeds, cause the farmers to flee In search of better cash instead status plunges to second class Check the trash for bottles and cans, robbed of the land When the jobs are gone scape goat them that's part of the plan Although they didn't cause the crisis, ICE is on a swarm Human beings made illegal with no license to be born What the hell is going on y'all they've got us divided Instead of united fighting, we need to override it
