Immigrant Lyrics - Belly

[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 to 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' real 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] 

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 AK's, 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 slammer before we could read, no time to scramble 

Soon as I came out my mama wound it's time to gamble 

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

Photos 

[Chorus] 

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 croppers.. 

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
