PRECIOUS CARGO

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 They split me from my family Now the light begins to fade They took me to the cold room Where I slept down on the floor Just a foil for a blanket For 17 days or more M sleep on the floor for 17 days Me sleep on the floor like a dog Me sleep on the floor for 17 days Foil blanket shivering hard Me sleep on the floor for 17 days Me sleep on the floor like a dog Me sleep on the floor for 17 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 been in here for 13 months I walked all of this way But me no never see no handcuffs 'Til I get to the USA No me, no never see no handcuffs 'Til I get to the USA I don't know why he 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, I.C.E. Oh, I.C.E., I.C.E. Me hate you, I.C.E. And I don't know why he 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.
