Immigrant Blues

This is my immigrant blues yeah…
I ain’t got nothing to lose yeah…
This is my immigrant blues yeah…
I ain’t got nothing to lose yeah…
7 dollars a day is all I had
Wishing better days are still ahead
They will never know the pain I feel inside
They will never fight the fight I chose to fight
Chicken noodle soup for three dollars
Wendy’s four for four seven days a week
99 cents worth foodtown fake meet
Never knew how little I really need
Landlord saved a dollar
Got me freezing in a tiny room
Got sick and spilled hot drink on my computer
How I’ll pay my dues?
But something made me stay
I knew there’s now mistake
But something made me stay
I knew there’s now mistake
This is my immigrant blues yeah…
I ain’t got nothing to lose yeah…
This is my immigrant blues yeah…
I ain’t got nothing to lose yeah…
Heard the story told over and over again
Momma said
Get what need and leave this city ain’t yo friend
Never imagined a man would take you and lead
Half a million bodies cross the blue ocean sea
Four hundred years later try to say that you free
But deportation making families get up and leave
It ain’t what it seems
These be the immigrant blues yeah
When there ain’t nothing to lose yeah
These are my immigrant blues yeah…
I ain’t got nothing to lose yeah…
These be the immigrant blues yeah
When there ain’t nothing to lose yeah
These are my immigrant blues yeah…
I ain’t got nothing to lose yeah…
