Immigrant
Yeah man, da one deh ah fi every immigrant yuh know

Life of an immigrant
(Who lef an' go look betta fi dem self an' fi dem family)
Yuh hear dat

Afta dem tears yah, one day we gon' laugh
Caribbean people, we neva grow soft (Soft)
Dem affi save di best fi last (Last)
It nuh easy wen yuh wa see yuh madda an yuh cyaaah sleep
Nuh easy wen yuh wa see yuh yute dem and yuh cyah dweet (Uhuh)
It nuh easy wen dem hol' yuh by di border and yuh wanted
Mi know fi a fact seh dat cannot be enchanting (No)
Life of ah immigrant
You affi smart, yuh affi militant (tant)
Life of ah immigrant
You affi stronger than ah elephant
One ah mi dawg dem call mi an' ah tell mi him married now

Life of an immigrant
Mi tell him seh, if yuh fail then brush yuh self off
Fi all ah dem tears deh, one day we gon' laugh
Caribbean people, we neva grow soft
We know wen time we takin' off
What do we do, wen life have yuh wrestlin' like Jade Cargill
Yuh work everyday an' still cyah pay damn bill
MI know dem would love fi save one mill, or fly in an' chill
Life of ah immigrant
You affi smart, yuh affi militant (tant)
