Precious cargo at the river
Me swimming, just to get across
With the babies on my shoulder
Grab my neck so they don't get lost
We made it through the jungle, no water there for two weeks
Many dead that we walked by and thugs hiding in the trees
We made it to the border
I jumped and I was detained
Split me from my family
Now the light begins to fade
They took me to the cold room, where I sat down on the floor
Just a foil for a blanket
For seventeen days or more

We sleep on the floor for seventeen days
We sleep on the floor like a dog
We sleep on the floor for seventeen days
Foil blanket, shivering hard
We sleep on the floor for seventeen days
We sleep on the floor like a dog
We sleep on the floor for seventeen days
Foil blanket, shivering hard

(Inshallah)
(Inshallah)

Once I was a little boy, out in the cassava fields
I dream of it sometimes at night, and none of this seems real
I've been in here for thirteen months
I walked all of this way
But me no never seen no handcuffs 'til I get to the USA
No, me no never seen no handcuffs 'til I get to the USA

I don't know why you would lie on me, the man from the I.C.E
And I don't know why he hate on me, the man from the I.C.E
Oh, I.C.E, I.C.E, me hate you, oh I.C.E
Oh, I.C.E, I.C.E, me hate you, oh I.C.E

And I don't know why you would lie on me, the man from the I.C.E
And I don't know why he hate on me, the man from the I.C.E
Oh, I.C.E, I.C.E, I hate you, oh I.C.E
Oh, I.C.E, I.C.E, I bring you down, oh I.C.E
