Tired Of Fear by Xvxfallen Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2019

[Intro]
So I hear next week they're finna tear some families apart
And they ain’t got no fuckin' sympathy, they don't got a heart
I’m tired of living in fear, I'm tired of the discrimination
I'm tryna turn 21 but fuck I'm growing impatient
'Cause I've been up contemplatin', my parents are livin' dangerous, ’cause now we gotta stay alert and just avoid immigration
The fuckin thought of an officer showing up’s nauseating
I get anxiety just fearing for their life and I hate it

[Verse 1]
If it's the land of the free, why the fuck we slaves?
And why do people fear living in the home of the brave?
I’m just a kid begging you to let my family stay
We don't want no problems, all we want is to be okay
I got some friends who are citizens and fuck up their grades
And my homie, who's an immigrant, all he gets is A's
They’re the ones with drive, they're the ones with plans
Somethin' rich white people never will understand
That's a stereotype, see it don't feel nice, do it?
Say every Mexican's a thug and that shit straight up assumin'
You probley think I'm fuckin' lazy or assume that I'm stupid
I'll be honest man, in school, I'm probley not the best student
But I've been told by my peers that I'm wise enough
So I'm asking all my people to please wisen up
I mean like honestly man aren't there people's cries enough?
Where the fuck are my Latinos at?
We're risin' up
[Verse 2]
And to anybody who agrees with this and spreads all the hate
"Maybe you wouldn't be crying if you never broke the law in the first place,"
Okay?
Think about all the predicaments and why they crossed the border then have somethin' to say
Mr. President I hope you get this message I spread
And I pray to God that you don't take this song as a threat
I spent my whole life depressed I've fuckin' wished I was dead
But I'm finding my purpose and I hope that you get
We're not a threat my parents love this country more than your people
I know your motives are evil
They sugar coat it with "legal"
You call my people illegal but just those words are more lethal than any threat that you can ever claim or make up we pose
Grow up in America where guns are glorified
But the triumph of an underdog is confined
The country soaks in lies
Man fuck a suit and a tie
I love this country but this shit just got me losin' my mind

[Hook 2x]
One more time for my mothafuckin' people
Gotta show love let it rise above the evil
Say we don't belong here, that ain't somethin' we know
You think it's the end, you ain't ready for a sequel

[Verse 3]
Okay
"Momma, I don't want you to leave me,"
"Oh baby please don't listen to what's on the TV,"
I just wanna fuckin' hold you momma you know that I know you - tough exterior but I know you can lose your composure
Say it's gonna be okay but if they take you away
I know for a fact that that would be the end of my days
Funny how this shit can happen just so close to my birthday
All these people call you criminals and wish you the worst fate
But I promise that won't happen momma
I'mma make it in this game I'm focused on my rappin' momma
Everybody want some chains
I just wanna buy a house for you and dad so I can see you every day
Give you everything you work hard to give me
These are my goals so look if you with me
Losing my parents just ain't part of my plan
Even if you won't help I ask that you understand
