[Intro – spoken, dark & slow] Your name didn’t fall from the sky. Your blood didn’t grow from this soil. You stand on borrowed ground. And you forgot. [Verse 1] You wave the flag like it made you, Like borders gave you breath. But your last name crossed an ocean, Escaping hunger, war and death. Your grandfather had no permission, Your grandmother had no map. They ran from kings and empires, Now you guard the trap. They came for freedom, not for welfare, For work, not for control. They didn’t ask the state for meaning, They built a life with their own soul. Now you call invasion what once was escape, You praise the cage that your bloodline broke. You forgot that every nation Was built by people who said “no”. [Hook] You are the child of migrants Standing on a road they made. You curse the path that saved your blood While worshiping the gate. Your roots are movement, not permission, Your history is flight, not rule. You didn’t descend from borders. You descend from those who refused them. [Verse 2] Your ancestors crossed without papers, Without visas, without law. They were called criminals and parasites By the empires that they saw. Now you speak with the voice of power, Using the same old tone. Yesterday they hunted your people, Today you hunt your own. You inherited freedom But defend the chains. You stand on open doors And praise the ones who close the gate. You say “respect the law” like law made you free, But it was disobedience that built history. Every right you now defend Was born when someone said “I will not bend.” [Hook] You are the child of migrants Standing on a road they made. You curse the path that saved your blood While worshiping the gate. Your roots are movement, not permission, Your history is flight, not rule. You didn’t descend from borders. You descend from those who refused them. [Bridge – slow, dark] You didn’t inherit this land from the State. You inherited it from rebels, Dreamers, and runaways. [Verse 3] They call it order, they call it law, But law once hunted your name. You forgot how fast the system Turns yesterday’s hero into today’s shame. You think you stand with civilization, But you stand with every empire before. They all said “we must defend the nation” Right before they closed the door. Freedom was never given by permission. It was taken by those who walked. History belongs to migrants — Not to those who guard the lock. [Final Hook – epic & slow] You are the child of migrants Now you build the wall. You forgot your own reflection When you learned to fear us all. Your blood remembers movement Even if your mind denies. You were born from disobedience — Not from borders, flags, or lines.
