Smuggled Into Struggle


Smuggled into struggle and muzzled

leaves us puzzled

Alienated, hated and discriminated 

politiciants debate us 

Brave foregoers jumping borders for us 

restricted to leaf blowers 

Held down to melt down and drown

stripped of our crowns 

Stereotyped despite our might 

to better our lives 

Portrayed and played as theives on tv 

for all the world to see 

We work, sacrificed most of our lives 

Aim for the dream that we're not meant to achieve 

No rights, all fights 

Won't accept us, but will take our money 

Strip us of our pride like it's funny 

They promise the sun, but give us the shade 

The treatment of our minorities 

is what I would change
