Immigrant |
| [00:11.11] |
Proud of it |
| [00:14.03] |
I' m proud to be one |
| [00:23.22] |
So listen |
| [00:26.80] |
Was never social norm since I came in day one |
| [00:29.40] |
And mama father never whined about the labour they' ve done |
| [00:32.30] |
Around the maple we spun, till end of my degree |
| [00:34.91] |
I' m thankful as a great son, but wanting more beneath |
| [00:37.75] |
Commodity preach a lifestyle that' s all figured out |
| [00:40.50] |
First you pass the interview then pay the house and make a child |
| [00:43.31] |
So I humbly take a bow, promise that I' ll make it happen |
| [00:46.26] |
Ain' t got no papers now, feeling hungry but not fasting |
| [00:49.15] |
See what I' m lacking, is the drive in difficult times |
| [00:51.81] |
Only therapy is rapping, and writing finicky rhymes |
| [00:54.65] |
And in that I find, a solace to my whole existence, |
| [00:57.62] |
The drive that I' ve been missing, the vision, the wisdom |
| [01:00.23] |
So I beg of you to listen, understanding my position |
| [01:03.08] |
It' s my life that I am risking, and giving it to this pen |
| [01:06.12] |
My mission, to create unity with different verses |
| [01:08.84] |
To seek my greater purpose, till I can no longer rehearse it |
| [01:10.84] |

About to say some real corny things |

Make sure ya' ll never let go of it |

| [03:28.04] |
