Rob Fury - The Prequel lyrics

[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 muthaf**a outside selling oranges I'm the muthaf**a cutting gra**, 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, pa**in 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 d**h do us, and I became naturalized But still get stared at awkward by pa**erbys I could feel the hate stuck on like it's magnetized All of this is bullsh**, 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**s 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 US molest and possess every zone The American dream is why I left home
