🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Kenji - Fort Minor

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