[Intro: "Yorktown" sample] [Hercules Mulligan] And just like that it’s over, we tend to our wounded, we count our dead [John Laurens] Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom… [George Washington] Not yet
[Verse 1: K’Naan] I got 1 job, 2 job, 3 when I need them I got 5 roommates in this one studio, but I never really see them And we all came America trying to get a lap dance from Lady Freedom But now Lady Liberty is acting like Hilary Banks with a pre-nup Man, I was brave, sailing on graves Don’t think I didn’t notice those tombstones disguised as waves I’m no dummy, here is something funny, you can be an immigrant without risking your lives Or crossing these borders with thrifty supplies All you got to do is see the world with new eyes
[Chorus] Immigrants, we get the job done Look how far I come Look how far I come Look how far I come We get the job done Look how far I come Look how far I come Look how far I come Immigrants, we get the job done
[Verse 2: Snow Tha Product] It’s a hard line when you’re an import Baby boy, it's hard times When you ain't sent for Racists feed the belly of the beast With they pitchforks, rich chores Done by the people that get ignored
And it started And they awoke It’s a whole awakening The alarm went off a while ago Those who want, search But they label us hoodlums We are the same ones Hustling on every level Here’s the details Walk a mile in our shoes Better buckle your shoes I been scoping ya dudes, ya’ll ain't been working like I do I'll outwork you, it hurts you You claim I’m stealing jobs though Peter Piper claimed he picked them, he just underpaid Pablo But there ain't a paper trail when you living in the shadows We're America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrowed It’s a matter of time before the checks all come But…

[Bridge: Snow Tha Product] The credit is only borrowed It’s America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrowed It’s America's ghost writers America's ghost writers America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrow-borrowed It’s Americas ghost writers, a credit is only borrowed It’s Americas ghost writers, a credit is only borrowed It’s Americas ghost writers, a credit is only borrowed It's

[Verse 3: Riz MC] Ay yo aye, immigrants we don’t like that Na they don’t play British empire strikes back They beating us like 808’s and high hats At our own game of invasion, but this ain't Iraq Who these fugees what did they do for me But contribute new dreams Taxes and tools, swagger and food to eat Cool, they flee war zones, but the problem ain't ours Even if our bombs landed on them like the Mayflower Buckingham Palace or Capitol Hill Blood of my ancestors had that all built It's the ink you print on your dollar bill, oil you spill Thin red line on the flag you hoist when you kill But still we just say "look how far I come" Hindustan, Pakistan, to London To a galaxy far from their ignorance Cos-

[Verse 4: Residente] By land or by water False identity We jump over walls or float on rafts We fight like Sandino in Nicaragua We are like plants that grow without wáter Without an American passport Because half of gringolandia is really Mexican terrain One has to be a real son of a bitch We plant the tree and they reap the fruit We are the ones who cross Here we come to look for the gold that was stolen We have more tricks than the secret police We packed our entire house in one suitcase With a pick, a shovel And a rake We built you a castle How’s the chorus go again cabron?
[Chorus] Immigrants, we get the job done Look how far I come Look how far I come Look how far I come We get the job done Look how far I come Look how far I come Look how far I come Immigrants, we get the job done Look how far I come Look how far I come Look how far I come Immigrants, we get the job done Not yetTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
