Immigrant Blues - Mark Evich, Jeffandy AllTogether

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…
