INDIGENOUS IMMIGRANT lyrics

[Chorus: GONDA]
Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to make a difference
Harmony in the dissonance
People live in shadow, everyday
Sometimes I wonder, are you really listenin'?
Can you hear the pain in my voice?
The child of an immigrant
Halfway of this side is indigenous
Both sides, colonized, out of place, have issues bein' intimate

[Verse 1: GONDA]
How could you love me, if I don't love myself?
The government doesnt care about my hеalth
Old stories 'bout a country without wealth
Why I keep a weapon tuckеd under my belt
No one ever gave a f*ck about how we felt
I'ma walk until my knees and my feet swell
You cannot be illegal on stolen land
God is the click, clack, pow, in my hand
Institutions fail us, no one to bail us out this time
The I.C.E. truck ain't bringin' sweet treats, takin' papa away
Now a child grows up without a father
Self immolation, make ya' self a martyr
Shoutout Reagan, Bush, Nixon and Jimmy Carter
Made us into slaves, to pave a way for Satan
They want conformity, obey assimilation
Is it the legacy of our nation?
Are people to weak, distracted and impatient?
Consumed by the money, substance and attention
Pollutin' the Earth, unconcerned with ascension
Work a 9 to 5, so you got no time for rebellion, they know exactly what's in yo' brain
When you got nothin' left to lose, and you outta vape juice and it's too late
Will you make a change?
Aye
[Chorus: GONDA]
Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to make a difference
Harmony in the dissonance
People live in shadow, everyday
Sometimes I wonder, are you really listenin'?
Can you hear the pain in my voice?
The child of an immigrant
Halfway of this side is indigenous
Both sides, colonized, out of place, have issues bein' intimate

[Verse 2: MONGO]
I-I-I-I was just a kid, battlin' for crumbs
On that schoolyard, ain't no 2 or 10 I was a 1
Teacher tellin' me lies of how it came to be
Kept me ostracized, cover my eyes, can't see the sun
I'ma be 25 in a couple months
Reality I thought aspirin', crumblin' to dust
Power dons in disguise, harass my mothers son
Void the color of his skin, why you think I keep a gun? (Boom)
Let's go outside~
If any of our heroes still alive, I pray y'all survived
It's apocalypse of the mind, tryna' strip me of my pride
Grippin' up on my 9, walkin' in silence (Boom)
Keep yo' head down or put yo' hands up
Stay in that circle you'll be aight (yes sir)
No harm, lemme disarm your armor
You just gotta' step into the red and blue light (yes sir)
[Chorus: GONDA]
Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to make a difference
Harmony in the dissonance
People live in shadow, everyday
Sometimes I wonder, are you really listenin'?
Can you hear the pain in my voice?
The child of an immigrant
Halfway of this side is indigenous
Both sides, colonized, out of place, have issues bein' intimate
Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to make a difference (Let's go outside)
Harmony in the dissonance
People live in shadow, everyday
Sometimes I wonder, are you really listenin'? (Let's go outside)
Can you hear the pain in my voice?
The child of an immigrant
Halfway of this side is indigenous
Both sides, colonized, out of place, have issues bein' intimate

[Outro: GONDA]
How could you love me?
