Immigrant
Cause I will fly to your town
We never lay down
We raised above the ground
We owe it all to our love and our hearts
And our caramel coated skin, yeah
We bringing it down
Yeah
Yeah, they call me an "Immigrant"
Cause my skin is Brown
Say I'm coming up to take up on all yo jobs
Look, it's not about the money and power
See, I put all this effort to be taken down
And lemme
Lemme break it down real quick for you boy
I'm not out here to get your bag, we ain't no killjoy
It's probably cause we're more driven than the average Joe
Wake up, punch the sheets, another Jane Doe
You may call me an Immigrant
Cause imma fly to your country for a real quick trip
And yeah, we struggle all day, to take a sip
And never get a chance to reap the benefits
Cause our women
Our lovely women
Yeah, we Winning
Cause we Bold
Forever healing
From the oppression
Never get intimidated
They try to sedate us
And they put it on rewind and replay that. (Never intimidated)
Cause I will fly to your town, (I will fly)
We never lay down
We raised above the ground
We owe it all to our love and our hearts, (Yeah we do)
And our caramel coated skin, yeah, (no we won't)
We bringing it down
Yeah, they try to colonise us
Yeah, we still thriving
Forever stay fighting
That's the shit that drives us
Devil tryna ride us
No, it ain't no trouble
Cause the world stay spinning and that's on revival. (It stay spinning)
We live in the same hood
And we say the same prayers
Cry to the same Lord
And we shed the same tears
Fronting the love but still hating on us? (Why they still hating?)
Cause we ain't your people?
Cause we staying mum? (Staying mum)
They call me crude
My people call me Kohinoor. (Brown Kohinoor)
Say my accent don't match
To stand in their roads
Cause to succeed I gotta sound like you
But they appropriate our culture
Everything we do
When I walk the streets they say "You European?"
Nah bitch I'm caramel, proud Indian
Yeah, I love to see it
Yeah, I'll still wind
And I'll never stay low
And I'll show it in my grind, bitch
Cause I will fly to your town

We owe it all to our love and our hearts
And our caramel coated skin, yeah
We bringing it down
We never lay down
We raised above the ground
We owe it all to our love and our hearts
