wwii
j-panese internment
it’s all new to you

children locked up, shingles and a shack
they were only allowed one suitcase including the clothes on their back

caged in and gunpoint
they almost shot my young teenage grandma down
for she had to leave her land to squatters and will never see her town

poston arizona
the kida’s at camp 3
the asian were the hostage
and white people held the key

her sunday school teacher tried to visit one hot day
but the guards and the guns kept grandma schoolgirl away

they weren’t allowed education
they weren’t allowed books
at nighttime they snuck hardcopies and read away like crooks

recruited by the army, satoshi saved the day
that was the only way to make money for sock and babe

when the war was over white people said you’re free
but you can’t have this land for your land is occupied by me

grandpa was a g*nius
they wanted him to cure rabies
but since he was a j-p they docked his pay by 3

they would not sell him property
so just like his wife’s college, they had to pet-tion for spring valley

this is not a conspiracy theory
it’s u.s. history untold
my grandma always held her tongue but right now i’m feeling bold

grandma babe said internment happened to native americans too
“it happened to me and it can happen to you”
