Lyric

For how long we’ll remain here?

I’ve noticed

Time’s the best Neuralyzer

Cause it clears too fast

Our memories, intentions

Affection and promises

We’d made for people

That we okay not being with today

Don’t be a weak

You’ve gained

This opportunity

A chance

More than half of your friends didn’t

On that city

Thanks to that small community

That’d made it

From a land on Pacific

Specifically for labor

New place, keep fam close

New friends, new neighbors

Though similar faces

Cause they’re from

Where you came from

Y’all there to make dough

Shit ain’t a vacation

Wasn’t there to lay down

And stay home

Just stay long hours of day

On plantations

Playing a key role

In the economy growth of

Another nation

Nearly a century later

Ain’t economic being home

Again, broke

Plus, some of them might

Just wanna meet new horizons

Land of the rising sun

May rise for you

Head for the other side of the world

Your forefathers same situation

In factories

Instead of plantation

Eating obento

Work from home

Going home from work only

You had higher expectations

Before boarding

On day to day you see

How hard it is

Till receive

Your month earnings

Goals further

There goes murder

Routine

You’d planned to

Raise an amount of money

Go back to your country

And chase dreams

But when each day is the same

You end up forgetting

The reasons you came here

And remain here
