The Notorious F.O.B
This is seriously a sad sad song, that i dedicate to all the fellow FOBs passed away...
but we won't stop
cuz we can't stop. uh-huh! F.O.B. boy.
Yeah...this right here...tell me why...goes out to all the F.O.B.s,
that's lost someone, that they truly love...check it out
Seems like yesterday we were on the boat
Cross the Pacific arrived up in Oak
so far from growing rice and corn for do'
unfortunate they got to know that
FOBs ain't always make it cross the seas
none of y'all FOBs did survive but me
even though y'all gone we still a FOB team
smuggle your family to fulfill your dreams
in the future when we cross the sea
gotta be more careful F-O-B
reminisce sometime, the hole in the boat they couldn't mend
tried to plug it up but it leaked again
tried to escape but the crates was sealed
heard all my friends cried out and squealed
give anything to hear half y'all breaths
I know y'all still tryina immigrate after death
Chorus:
Every boat i take, every ship i make
every single day, in the frisco bay
i'll be missing you
thinking of the day, when y'all went away
why y'all FOBs that day, had to pass away
I'll be missing you
It's never less FOBs wit you not around
Even more FOBs now U.S. bound
Two new FOBs replace each of you
Everyday got FOBs brand new
Till 'nother boat crashes again
need panoramic picture to keep all you friends
FOB dreams give me the strength i need to procede
strength i need to believe
passed away FOBs we just can't revive
English so bad, feelings I can't define
us on the ship, swattin mosquitos and ticks
you and me trying to get chicks
left sweatshop shit, wages they exploited you on
still can't believe you gone,
give anything to hear half y'all breaths,
i know y'all still trying to immigrate after death
Chorus(repeat)
somebody tell me why
That one dark morning, when the boat flipped over
I knew, there'd be no trace...of you
