[sung to I'll Be Missing You by Puff Daddy]
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! FOB boy.
Yeah... this right here...
tell me why... goes out to all
the FOBs, 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 proceed
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 mosquitoes 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]
somebody tell me why
That one dark morning, when the boat flipped
over
I knew, there'd be no trace... of you
