Barbed Wires and Borderlines — DaddyLove

Intro

I ran from fire, I ran from chains
Found new flags, but felt the same

Verse 1

Born where the streets are scared to breathe
Eyes wide open, but no one sees
We fought with hands, they crushed with boots
Fed us silence, starved our roots

They called it peace, but it was control
Cuba's skies had no soul
Crossed the sea for a better day
Now ICE waits to take it away

Chorus

We bled to be free, now we bleed again
Barbed wires wrap where hope had been
Torn by a system that promised light
Deported dreams in the dead of night

Verse 2

They scan our names, they twist our face
Say we don't belong in this place
From cell to cell, from fear to hate
New flags, old chains—different state

I saw my mother cry at dawn
"Mi hijo, why is freedom gone?"
Treated like a crime to want to live
How much more do we have to give?

Chorus

We bled to be free, now we bleed again
Barbed wires wrap where hope had been
Torn by a system that promised light
Deported dreams in the dead of night

Bridge

No land, no home, just fear and flight
Our fire burns, we won’t lose sight

(screamed)
Your laws can't cage what we believe
We are more than what you see

Chorus

We bled to be free, now we bleed again
Barbed wires wrap where hope had been
Torn by a system that promised light
Deported dreams in the dead of night

Outro

We are not shadows, we are not ghosts
We are the voice you fear the most
