Sun Rise Above - Illegal Lyrics
[Truth Universal]Now get it straight, we didn't risk our lives to assimilateWe came to work and fill our breakfast lunch and dinner platesI'm in your state but my own culture I won't throw awayYour free trade made me a banana boat stowawayWave our flag and embrace the arrogant whitesDon't abandon culture for no stars and stripesGo back to my country? Well now you're being ignorantUnited States was founded by some European immigrantsWho committed genocide, when they came from elsewhereWe just just ask for jobs, drivers licenses and healthcareYou've got the wealth here from exploiting the earthTell me why you give a ***** about my country of birthExploitation make life in we nation hardWe leave that for an alien immigration registration cardDeport me if you have to but I'm maintaining me innocenceThe only thing I'm guilty of is being an immigrantSay exploitation make life in we nation hardThat for an alien immigration registration cardDeport me if you have to but I'm maintaining me innocenceThe only thing I'm guilty of is being an immigrant[Sun Rise Above]The immigration debate taking place is mental masturbationMedia saturation, but workers have no nationYet today they say that positions an aberration'Cause internationalism don't mash with their systemGot people imprisoned behind borders, invisible linesDotting the globe, capital cross when it pleasePeople drop to their knees, rock their hearts on their sleevesNationalists slashing their backs so they constantly bleedRaise the cost of the seeds, cause the farmers to fleeIn search of better cash instead status plunges to second classCheck the trash for bottles and cans, robbed of the landWhen the jobs are gone scape goat them that's part of the planAlthough they didn't cause the crisis, ICE is on a swarmHuman beings made illegal with no license to be bornWhat the hell is going on y'all they've got us dividedInstead of united fighting, we need to override it
