lirik lagu mzm - the prequel
[intro]
this is a story of a few different immigrants and their pursuit of the american dream….
[verse 1: mzm]
skip my full name, my friends call me juanito
i’m here in this country illegal
i came cause i needed to, no other choice
gotta get paper, back home i got people
to feed to, with two options, rob or starve
on top of feeding them, i got debt to pay off
cause to come here, i hired a coyote
5 days in the desert, had to hide and stay low key
sold everything i own see, not enough though
fam back home, i don’t pay, they know where my home be
so if the us is the land of opportunity
why can’t i be if it’s opportune for me
they say i steal jobs, but how’s that even possible
when we underpaid, working jobs no one wants to do
go head, deport me, for you that won’t be fortunate
cause i’m the m-th-f-cka outside selling oranges
i’m the m-th-f-cka cutting gr-ss, doing more for half
stores pay me cash, cause they won’t have to pay tax
y’all still think i steal huh, carved it in stone
mad at me cause private companies took off on their own
[chorus: cosmos ray]
this is an immigration story and an immigration song
want my immigration status every time i leave home
the us molest and possess every zone
the american dream is why i left home
immigration story and an immigration song
want my immigration status every time i leave home
the us molest and possess every zone
the american dream is why i left home
[verse 2: mzm]
good day have you, i’m giving you respect, but check
did i even say that correct?
if i didn’t, forgive me, i’m still adjustin’
i’m in a new country, i’m learning how to function
i came here in the back of a cargo ship
had to hide out so i wouldn’t get caught in it
across the atlantic ocean, crackers and water
that’s what i survived on, p-ssin the border
we docked in the us, where all new enter
but i snuck off, dressed as a ship crew member
i got me a cousin up in detroit, michigan
lemme go visit then search for and get with him
he got me a job that i could be sufficient in
but they at my door, they heard i ain’t a citizen
now immigration wanna take me away
but my neighbor came out and she saved the day
lied to ins, she saying i’m bae
and because of her, now i’m able to stay
her name annie ray, and i dig how she maneuver
i owe her, i wanna give my last name to her
part till death do us, and i became naturalized
but still get stared at awkward by p-sserbys
i could feel the hate stuck on like it’s magnetized
all of this is bullsh-t, why am i not that surprised
xenophobes cringe, like im doing damage here
i just wanna earn my keep and bring my family here
build a foundation for the future, feel it
my odds are better here than a bangladeshi village
[chorus: cosmos ray]
this is an immigration story and an immigration song
want my immigration status every time i leave home
the us molest and possess every zone
the american dream is why i left home
immigration story and an immigration song
want my immigration status every time i leave home
the us molest and possess every zone
the american dream is why i left home
[verse 3: mzm]
got my h1b, i heard i could prosper here
better benefits for me and it’s hotter here
than what my country offers for the same career choice
it’s apples to oranges, a lack in proportionates
i came here the right way, visas and all
but people mad i’m here, wish they was seeing me fall
what i don’t understand, is how they justify the hatred
this wasn’t even theirs, they stole country from the natives
now the uproar here’s the job that i’m paid in
not my fault no one has qualifications
not my fault that y’all made education
unattainable unless you die making payments
so big corporations, made deals that would honor me
bring me to get the job done, and sponsor me
but i’m by myself, and these nights getting colder
i want my fam here but that’s a prob to ann coulter
simple minded f-cks always act obnoxious
point fingers at everything, but what the actual cause is
[chorus: cosmos ray]
this is an immigration story and an immigration song
want my immigration status every time i leave home
the us molest and possess every zone
the american dream is why i left home
immigration story and an immigration song
want my immigration status every time i leave home

the american dream is why i left home
