[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]

[01:18.67]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

[02:14.39]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
