Life of a Immigrant
[Intro]
Life of an immigrant
Life of an immigrant
Just life
Just life
Life of an immigrant
Just life
[Verse 1]
Life of an immigrant
They booked a flight and told me my removal was imminent
I'm not sayin' that all my life I was innocent
I was convicted for some things but never touched the prison wing
That's until they looked me up in them detention centers
I would have traded that for gettin' the sentence mentioned
'Cah when you leave them prison gates, you're on the roads again
But when you leave the detention centers, you get on a plane (Just life)
Trust me, you don't know the rage
Beggin' for a visa but they treat you in the coldest way
If you can't relate, we didn't grow the same
If you've ever been deported, boy, I know you know the pain
Sometimes I feel like these lawyers are all the same
When we speak and when they talk in court, they don't talk the same
I thought I woulda won my case, they never fought the same
Still took my money, though, now I'm on to board the plane
[Chorus]
Life, life of an immigrant
Life of some immigrants, just life
Life of an immigrant
Life of some immigrants, just life
The life of an immigrant
The life of some immigrants, just life
Life of an immigrant
Life of some immigrants, just life
[Verse 2]
Them don't care where you're born
They say you are from wherever your parents are from
A friend of mine was born in London, raised in the north
Immigration tryna send him to Sierra Leone (It's just life)
He said that he's got a baby on the way
They said, "That baby ain't never seen your face
So it won't make a difference if we send you away"
Nice baby, mother suffers with depression again, uh (Just life)
They say we can't work but to pay for visa application
And the price high like the Burj Khalifa
I'm still on a treadmill tryna keep up
Immigrants, my heart shed tears for the way they treat us (Just life)
Most people are unaware about the procedure
Prosecuted, lookin' at your partner like she's a creature
For all of the illegals tryna turn legal on this soil
I say a prayer for you, is just life
[Chorus]
Life of an immigrant
Life of some immigrants, just life
Life of an immigrant
Life of some immigrants, just lITe
The life of an immigrant
The life of some immigrants, just life
Life of an immigrant
Life of some immigrants, just life
[Outro]
The life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life is the life
The life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life, just the life
The life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life is the life
The life, the life, the life, the life
The life, the life
