🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Kenji - Fort Minor

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