I'm just an immigrant Nigger
Living a life in the city
Tryna get by with my pennies
They want much higher than us
Proficient, in languages, hieroglyphics
Most of us, already get it
Google degrees were invented
And get high with the plug
Of white Pickett fences, their pride is relentless
They hide, behind lives, of who died, in the trenches
Did we ride the slave ships
Am I going ape shit? Crazy
I work shifts daily, they call me lazy
Product of the 80s, So I'm just a baby
Woke and alone and afraid that you hate me
Scared to reach out coz my name's complicated
Dare me to speak with an accent from Haiti
I think the secret Victoria's keeping
County corrections are filling
Ain't a cop I could trust
The rate of recidivism is constantly peaking
Get released, finally free
They welcome you back by the weekend
We're fighting for Black Freedom
I'm driving to work, but Im hoping I'm fired
Coz I'm so sick and tired, of being so sick and tired
The only thing I ever got for free, was a bible
A speech saying be all you can be, here's a rifle
While we're distracted by mass shootings
The Banks are on mass lootings
Then they tell us to vote
Then they poison our kitchens
Mr America, why you don't like me
Your fore-fathers came for the same reason I did
I know that I'm a really long way from home
I know I've lost my ways and maybe Jah soon come
I carry half the weight of all my kin from this sun
I know i have to stay coz western union needs funds
My mama passed away my daddy had 6 sons
My bus is 7 bucks a day I only have 6 ones
But I'm a slave in this matrix
