[Intro: Belly] Yeah, yeah Look [Verse 1: Belly] 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 [Chorus: Belly] 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) [Verse 2: Meek Mill] 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 [Chorus: Belly] 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) [Verse 3: Belly] 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 [Bridge: M.I.A.] 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 [Outro] 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
