Cities and society
Why these crazy people out here trying me
Immigration legislation cut participation 
Slowing population to the nation

1790 fact Naturalization Act
Put no restrictions on immigration no cap 
You could be a citizen if you were free and white
Chinese got excluded 1882 that's right
Emergency emergency quota act of 1921 
Brought in the immigrants for labor and no fun 
We was on that capital run 
1965 opened up the flood gate 
Hart-Cellar Act brought em in like they was weight 
Abolished country quotas Eastern hemisphere restrictions 
Reunited families European demand was down
So other immigrants came to town 
 
Cities and society
Why these crazy people out here trying me
Immigration legislation cut participation 
Slowing population to the nation

Assimilate Americanness coded as that whiteness 
Language English coded as politeness
Some have mobility some keep identity 
Some will assimilate to downward minority 
Segmented I meant it assimilation prevented
Living in two countries you a transnationalist 
Passing money and the cultures and you sharing politics 
But put this in the mix you should look out for the vultures
Cause it's fluid exchanges from hybrid minorities
From lots of different cultures 
But I.C.E is saying hold up what you trying blow up 
We going send you back across the border when you show up

Cities and society
Why these crazy people out here trying me
Immigration legislation cut participation 
Slowing population to the nation
