Montae Montana - Emilio's Smile (feat. Len-E & N01ses)

Emilio he just wanna go home
They locked him in a cage and he is seven years old
Look a child in the face and tell him that he's an immigrant
Ain't seen his mothers face in some months he can't remember it
Used to be full of life now the day ain't so interesting
Nigga are you hearing this?
I'm talking bout a little kid
You know that ain't right, you know that's a life
I bet if you disagree then your probably... nah I can't even say that

Let these kids be please please
Cause we wanna be free free
They wanna go home
Cause it's so cold

Lockin kids in a cage like some slaves outrageous
How could they expect us
To have this typa patience
What is freedom
If scream free them now
Why it take judge & jury just to see them smile
They walk for miles to seek asylum
To end up with no family beside em
Widen ya angle
Children are blessing who we watch over like angels
A little girl need her daddy
A momma need her son
I know I need my mom badly, sadly
On this earth this the truth that we livin
Governments not givin and
Protestin and petition
Only rise the blood thats boilin
Yall spoilin a childhood for good
If I could set em free I would

If you wanna be free
Just smile

Holding my kids, I see the youth is upset
Did we fail on showing affection, with love and respect
We can change the world all we gotta do is connect
It's divisions set in place so don't you fall in effect
They say the earth needs a hand, well I'ma give her my chest
And pray that salvation take us to a place where its rest
I speak on peace like I know it, it's just time you invest
Into loving one another, thats where growth manifest
We been kings since the motherland
I hope my brothers understand
That Trump running governments, don't make us lesser of a man
It's families right now, that can't tell each other they care
It's time we look ourselves in the mirror and see whos really there
And what we do, how we think,
Where we move, and what we eat
It's propaganda in these streets, it's up to us to plant the seeds
Just an idea, out of all that I've seen
Going thru some bullshit for this American dream

Let these kids be please please
Cause we wanna be free free
They wanna go home
Cause it's so cold

They wanna talk bout politics, but let's talk about the truth
In a Disney movie line he wouldn't get passed the booth
Without a parent it's apparent that you recognize youth
When it suits your bottom line or find convenient for you
It's hard to find a place in my mind I can rest
To know they locked away Emilio ain't he ain't have a chance
To mature enough to look around and really understand
The hate inside their hearts is what kills them all in the end
