Kenji

by Fort Minor
on The Rising Tied (Explicit)

Lyrics

“My father came from Japan in 1905. He was fifteen when he immigrated from Japan. He worked until he was able to buy – to actually build a store.”

Let me tell you the story in the form of a dream
I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means
Close your eyes and just picture the scene / as I paint it for you

What happened to fort minor like their album was really successful
Really sad song
wow this is depressing
I'm not jap but I feel sad now after this song
Wow ths song is actually really sad for Fort Minor
Sad song he got Every detail right except for the fact that Japanese Americans only fought in the Atlantic war. None ever fought in the pacific war. Events like the one this song described are why I am sick of the denunciation s of American war crimes during WWII.
I'm not Asian, but this song is great. All the dates, all the details completely true. So sad.
I am Japanese and that was a sad song:(
That probably happened to my family.
Follow me and I will follow you back and I'm not lying
This song has givin' the side of the story from inoccent Japanese citizens getting kicked out of their homes. Errrr I feel bad.
The song "kenji" reminds me of the song "dance with the devil" by immortal technique.
I'm Asian. Um... I am happy I wasn't alive then.
