Nurse Pretti- Minnesota ICE

Song Description

ICE isn't nice- they;'re coming for me.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Late nights walking, shadows call my name,
Camouflage green, hiding in this game.

[Verse 1]
Walk in the night, stalked by the day,
Batons and glocks, where the children play.
Not a smile in sight, it's silent like the grave,
No respect for life in this city we crave.
Brown or black, all blood runs red,
Dystopian times, yeah we living in dread.
Mandated confusion, etched in our heads,
One nation extirpation, beneath the threads.

[Chorus]
I look over my shoulder, are they coming for me?
Frustration, indignation, lives lost recklessly.
Nice to know you, but maybe I'll flee,
Or maybe the gun might be aimed at me.

[Verse 2]
Plea to the children, bolt the door tight,
Chapter 3, Orwell's 1984 feels right.
Unsafe in school, at work, or home,
One false move, then you're gone, alone.
Mothers cry, tears dripping from their eyes,
Nightmares awake, as another life dies.
"That man took Pretti's life, can't you see?"
My ID he says, "It's fake," born right here, but no way.

[Chorus]
I look over my shoulder, are they coming for me?
Frustration, indignation, lives lost recklessly.
Nice to know you, but maybe I'll flee,
Or maybe the gun might be aimed at me.

[Rap]
Masks on faces, plans for strange places,
Torture and hunger, erasing the traces.
Windowless planes, 10,000 miles from home,
This space isn't safe, in a world of chrome.
Can you feel the grip tightening around your throat?
In the silence, the struggle, it's just a lost note.
We're fighting shadows, on the edge of despair,
But we rise, we resist, we're breathing the air.

[Outro]
In the night, we walk, shadows in our sight,
Fighting for the dawn, the color of right.
One love for the children, don't let go of the fight,
United we will stand, till we see the light.
