🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Kenji - Fort Minor

 My father came  Japan in 1905
 He was 15 when he immigrated  Japan
 He worked until he was able to buy - to actually build a 
 
 Let me tell you the  in the form of a dream,
 I don't know why I have to  it but I know what it means,
 Close  eyes, just picture the scene,
 As I paint it for you, it was World War 
 When this  named Kenji woke up,
  was not a soldier,
 He was just a man with a family  owned a store in LA,
 That day, he crawled out of  like he always did,
  and eggs with wife and kids,
 He lived on the second floor of a little store  ran,
 He moved to LA from 
 They  him 'Immigrant,'
 In  he'd say he was called "Issei,"
 That meant  Generation In The United States,'
 When everyone was afraid  the Germans, afraid of the Japs,
 But most of  afraid of a homeland attack,
 And  morning when Ken went out on the doormat,
 His world went black 
 Right there; front page 
 Three weeks  1942,
 "Pearl Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs  Comin'"
 Pictures  soldiers dyin' and runnin',
 Ken  what it would lead to,
 Just  he guessed, the President said,
 "The evil Japanese in our home country  be locked away,"
  gave Ken, a couple of days,
 To get his whole  packed in two bags,
 Just two bags, couldn't  pack his clothes,
 Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to  anything in,
  two trash bags is all they gave them,
 When the kids asked mom  are we goin'?"
 Nobody even knew what to say  them,
 Ken didn't wanna lie, he said  US is lookin' for spies,
 So we have to live in a place called 
 Where a lot of  people are,"
 Stop it don't look at  gunmen,
 You don't wanna get the soldiers 
 If you gonna  or not,
 'Cause if you  then you might get shot,
 Other than that  not to think about it,
 Try  to worry 'bout it; bein' so crowded,
 Someday we'll get out, someday, 
 
  soon as war broke out
 The  came and they just come to the house and
 "You have to 
 "All the Japanese  to go"
  took Mr. Lee
 People  understand
 Why did  have to take him?
  he's an laborer laborer
 
 So now they're in a town with soldiers  them,
 Every day, every night  down at them,
 From watch towers up on the 
 Ken couldn't  hate them at all;
 They were  doin' their job and,
  wasn't gonna make any problems,
 He had a little garden with vegetables  fruits that,
 He gave to the troops in a  his wife made,
 But in the back of his  he wanted his families life saved,
 Prisoners of war in  own damn country,
 What for?
  passed in the prison town,
 He wanted them to live it down  they were free,
 The only way out was  the army,
 And supposedly, some men went  for the army, signed on,
  ended up flyin' to Japan with a bomb,
 That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to  war pretty fast,
 Two  were blown to bits; the end of the war came quick,
 Ken got out, big  of a normal life, with his kids and his wife,
 But, when  got back to their home,
 What they saw made them feel so 
 These people had  every room,
 Smashed in the windows and bashed in  doors,
 Written on  walls and the floor,
 "Japs not  anymore."
 And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood 
 He, looked at  wife without words to say,
 She looked back at  wiping tears away,
 And, said  we'll be okay, someday,"
 Now the names have been changed,  the story's true,
 My family was locked up back  '42,
 My family was there it was dark and 
 And  called it an internment camp
 
 When we first got back from camp... 
  was... pretty... pretty bad
 
 I,  remember my husband said
 "Are we gonna  'til last?"
 Then my  died before they close the camp.
