Ellis Island

Intro:

In the United States, people are not friendly
You can find someone that's walking in the street by himself you know? don't even talk you know. You cannot go to the house of someone you do not know, though we are all Americans. Call the police and say why did this guy come to my house and I don't know him? These are different people huh? It's very difficult, I don't know how we are going to be acquainted with this life here

Verse 1 (Elite):

Nothing made my father more happy
I think because of pride he won't ask me
Occupied as the time goes past me
All he wanted was a minute with his only son
How many phone calls did I ignore
I know I never call back but I'mma try to more
I know you prolly would be proud that I been writing more
Me and Voli talkin bout us startin up some kinda tour
I know it's hard I see the clock but we could get it back
We just have to pick up all the pieces where we left em at
This is my moment and I can't afford to blow it
I know home is where the heart is but that lasts forever, don't it?

Pre-Chorus (Voli)
Everybody knows my name back home
Can I really leave everything I know
The land where the hero's are made
Big city bright lights my stage
Thanksgiving dinner never felt so cold
What good is all the fancy silverware I own
I guess king's only die alone

Chorus (Elite and Voli)
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?

Verse 3 (Voli)
September wedding politely you asked me to be your best man
Just let me get back on my feet come out that head stand
I can't afford a tux, too busy paying dues
So I declined bad credit I know you ain't approve
Like stoled cards, look at this broken bond
Once rooted but like tree branches we've grown apart
Chasing this dream can't live a life that I'm not proud of
Hunger for big change, I need that half dollar
Lost moments barely seen my nephew grown up
Cuz work is always callin, do I hang the phone up?
Boulevard of dreams, full of all the things I wanted
But will i be the only one to walk it?

Bridge (Elite)
And I be trapped between the walls of this path I chose to walk, I chose to walk. aw aw aaaaaw
This dream's so vivid, I can't tell the difference between reality and fiction I wish I could make up the time like a beautician tunnel vision, focused but I think there's somethin missin how I miss it? How I miss it... How I miss it

(Outro)
And uh, we go to work different place, go to work different place, come home late, we don't see one another for maybe two or three weeks. So, it's kind of lonely. But this is the life of America
