🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Kenji - Fort Minor

 My father came from Japan  1905
 He was 15 when  immigrated from Japan
 He worked until he was able to buy - to actually build a 
 
 Let me tell  the story in the form of a dream,
 I don't know why I have to  it but I know what it means,
  your eyes, just picture the scene,
 As I paint it for you, it was World War 
 When this  named Kenji woke up,
 Ken was not  soldier,
 He was just a man with a family who owned a  in LA,
 That  he crawled out of bed like he always did,
 Bacon and eggs with  and kids,
 He lived on the second floor of a little  he ran,
 He moved to LA  Japan,
 They called him 
 In Japanese, he'd say  was called "Issei,"
 That meant 'First Generation In  United States,'
 When  was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs,
 But most of all afraid of a homeland 
 And that morning when Ken went out on the 
 His world  black 'cause,
 Right there; front  news,
  weeks before 1942,
  Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Comin'"
  of soldiers dyin' and runnin',
 Ken knew what  would lead to,
  like he guessed, the President said,
 "The evil Japanese in our home country will be  away,"
  gave Ken, a couple of days,
 To get his whole life packed in  bags,
 Just two bags, couldn't even pack his 
 Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to  anything in,
  two trash bags is all they gave them,
 When the  asked mom "Where are we goin'?"
  even knew what to say to them,
 Ken didn't wanna lie, he  "The US is lookin' for spies,
 So we have to live  a place called Manzanar,
  a lot of Japanese people are,"
 Stop it don't  at the gunmen,
 You don't wanna get the soldiers 
 If you  run or not,
 'Cause if you run  you might get shot,
 Other than that  not to think about it,
 Try not to worry  it; bein' so crowded,
  we'll get out, someday, someday.
 
 As  as war broke out
 The F.B.I. came and they just  to the house and
 "You have  come"
 "All the Japanese  to go"
 They took  Lee
 People didn't 
 Why did they have  take him?
  he's an laborer laborer
 
 So now they're  a town with soldiers surroundin' them,
 Every  every night look down at them,
 From  towers up on the wall,
 Ken couldn't really hate  at all;
 They were just doin' their  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  his mind, he wanted his families life saved,
 Prisoners of war in their  damn country,
 What for?
 Time passed in the  town,
  wanted them to live it down when they were free,
 The  way out was joinin' the army,
 And supposedly,  men went out for the army, signed on,
 And ended up flyin' to Japan with a 
  15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war pretty fast,
 Two cities were blown to bits;  end of the war came quick,
 Ken got out, big hopes of a  life, with his kids and his wife,
 But,  they got back to their home,
  they saw made them feel so alone,
 These people  trashed every room,
 Smashed in the windows and bashed in  doors,
 Written on  walls and the floor,
 "Japs  welcome anymore."
 And Kenji dropped both of his bags  his sides and just stood outside,
 He, looked  his wife without words to say,
 She looked back at him  tears away,
 And, said  we'll be okay, someday,"
 Now the names have been changed, but the story's 
 My family was locked up back in 
 My family was there it was  and damp,
 And  called it an internment camp
 
 When we first got back  camp... uhh
 It  pretty... pretty bad
 
  I remember my husband said
 "Are we gonna stay 'til 
 Then  husband died before they close the camp.
