Life of a immigrant

If you fail, then brush yourself off
After them tears yah one day we going laugh
Caribbean people
We never grow soft
Them affi save the best fi last

It nuh easy when you wah fi see you mother and you cyah sleep
Nuh easy when you wah see you youth dem and you can't do it
It not easy when them hold you by the boarder and you wanted
Me know fi a fact say that cannot be enchanting

Life of a immigrant
You affi smart. You affi militant
Life of a immigrant
You affi stronger than a elephant

One a me
Dog dem call me and a tell me married him now
Im say miss him yard
Him wish him coulda travel now

Fi all them tears da one day we going laugh

Or fly in and chill

You see you visa running out
You not even find a spouse
Nobody fi propose

Somebody go expose
Immigration a the house

And millions affi count
A nuff people nuh feel right
Family drop out and dem cyah reach
A nuff people nuh feel right
Dem cyah go a river or a one beach
