Phantom - Exiled lyrics

[Verse 1: Phantom] Today, may I just say, it's been so good knowing you But I'm going through with this, not with bliss, I've been dismissed From my home and all I've known since I was old enough to roam And I'm leaving alone, cause I got blown for selling stones This law is bad to the bone, good times done flown through my mind Now I'm caught in a bind from crime, but still needed that dime See I remind you it's true, we went through struggles so much So I had to ride to survive, but our government don't give a f** I can't duck and hide, my demise continues to arise Mama cries, but tries and pacifies her eyes Which confides all the pain she done sustained inside And I've come to decide, I can't abide by this divide With pride, I say, I'm a refugee, this land rescued me No comparison though, I'm American, my home's Maryland So it's arrogant, how they a**ume and presume my heritage Makes me foreign, got deported, f** those who support it [Chorus 1: Phantom] Trials and tribulations Exiled from my own nation Injustice flushes through generations Is this the foundation of our congregation? Brothers stand up and fight Sisters stand up and fight For what is right, we might just make, a difference in the distance Khmer folks need a**istance, so be down with persistence [Verse 2: Phantom] Aye yo bro, fasho, you know it's Phantom ya dude Verse 2, I done knew your folks fled the Khmer Rouge It's true, I was f**ing enthralled and mauled when you called And said they hauled you to Cambodia, you scared like phobia And you know me bruh, I understand this ain't what you planned To be banned and ran out your homeland as a grown man And be boot, to taste the bland fruits in the land of your roots What's the use?, it's the truth, can't atone to a place you've never known I'm in my zone and prone to hone your fam's name on the throne And lend my amends, as your friend, until we meet again Brother you gotta be fearless, cause you're the spirit of your mother And your family in the states, without haste, don't waste another Moment worrying, I'm scurrying to fight your plight sh**, life is full of spite, I bring it to light when I write Cite, all that shines ain't bright, I'll tell your rite in this cipher When times get tighter, I got fibre, cause I'm a f**ing freedom fighter [Chorus 2: Phantom] Trials and tribulations Exiled from my own nation Injustice flushes through generations Is this the foundation of our congregation? Brothers stand up and fight Sisters stand up and fight For what is right, we might just make, a difference in the distance Khmer folks need a**istance, so be down with persistence
