Sting feat. Shirazee - Englishman / African in New York (with Shirazee)

Englishman / African in New York (with Shirazee)

I'm gonna make it (I'm gonna make)
I'm gonna get it (I'm gonna get)
I'm gonna make it, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm gonna get it (I'm gonna get)
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
But you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

You see me walking down 5th Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa-oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Every day I wake up here's a win (is a win)
'Cause I got here on a dream
I still hear my mother praying everyday
I'm an African in New York

You dey see I am for my pride and energy
When I dey walka down the street
You can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an African in New York

Oh-oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Oh-oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York

Whoa-oh, I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm gonna make it (I'm gonna make)
I'm gonna get it (I'm gonna get)
I'm gonna make it, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Be yourself, no matter what they say (I'm gonna make it)
Be yourself (I'm gonna make it) no matter what they say
Be yourself, no matter what they say
