[Intro 1]
[G][C][F]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Precious cargo at [Bb]the river
[Dm]Me swimming, just to get across
[F]With the bab[C]ies on my sho[G]ulder
Grab my neck so they don't get lost
We [Dm]made it through the jungle,
no water there for two [F]weeks
[G]Many dead that we walked by
and thugs hiding in the trees
We [F]made it to the border
I jumped and I was detained
[G]Split me from my family
Now the light begins to fade
They [F]took me to the cold room,
where I sat down on the floor
Just a [G]foil for a blanket
For seventeen days or more

[Verse 2]
[F]We sleep on the floor
for seventeen days
We sleep on the floor like a dog
[G]We sleep on the floor for seventeen days
Foil blanket, shivering hard
[F]We sleep on the floor for
seventeen days
We sleep on the floor like a dog
[G]We sleep on the floor for seventeen days

[Interlude 1]
Foil blanket, shivering hard

[Verse 3]
[F](Inshallah)
(Inshallah)
Once I was a little boy,
out in the cassava fields
I dream of it sometimes at [C]night,
and [G]none of this seems real
I've [F]been in here for thirteen months
I walked all of this way
But [G]me no never seen no handcuffs
'til I get to the USA
[Em]No, me n[G]o neve[F]r seen no
handcuffs 'til I get to the USA
[G]

[Verse 4]
I [F]don't know why you would lie on me,
the man from the I.C.E
And I [G]don't know why he hate on me,
the man from the I.C.E
[Em]Oh, I.C.[G]E, I.C.E[F], me hate you, oh I.C.E
Oh, [Em]I.C.E, I.C.E, me [G]hate you, oh I.C.E

And I [F]don't know why you would lie on me,
the man from the I.C.E
And I [C]don't know [Am]why he [G]hate on me,
the man from the I.C.E
Oh, [F]I.C.E, I.C.E, I hate you, oh I.C.E
Oh, I.C.E, [G]I.C.E, [C]I bring you dow[G]n,
oh I.C.E
