lyrics

At four years old, Mwewa Sumbwe was brought here
Growing up American, carryin a secret from her peers
Livin everyday life from the outside in, to the inside out she’s one of our neighbors
In the middle of it all separated by a piece of paper

She decided to speak up,
hoping the law will see she’s one of us
Will it be enough?
Doing what she was told a good student does

She emphasized, She otherwise has a normal life,
Let her stay, Let them stay!

Let Them Stay

LET Them Stay x2

Maribel came here, through the only way she could
Tryna get away from gangs that claim her neighborhood
It’s easy to imagine what woulda happened
If she waited in line for a sponsor
Cuz her brother and father were later kidnapped for ransom

She’s raising four children now
Serves in her church community
Hoping she can work it out
Earn her way into our society
Her endorsements, include the local government
Let her stay, let them stay

Let Them Stay

Adam was adopted, when he was just three years old
Livin’ in an orphanage, then given to a young couple
He and his sister were mistreated, then given to the foster system
He completed time for a crime and ICE was waiting outside

He was running his own businesses
To provide for his children and his wife
Even though he’s not a citizen… since
his parents never bothered to apply

Yet he would be fine, if they just signed, the dotted line,
to let him stay, Let them stay!
