Immigrants

Hey mama

You don’t have to work another day

You can buy anything in the store

If you wanna

I know you got used to laying low

You can flex on a mother f*cking hater like Madonna

I remember when they acted petty

We got clap backs ready if they looking some drama

If they want the smoke

Then we’ll turn this whole place into a sauna

Check it

It’s the return of the golden child

With the golden smile

Hometown hero arriving at the golden hour

We bringing granny out

We make the family proud

Gold, rich, young and handsome

Make the cats meow

Meals are extra loud

We go the extra mile

Undefiled

All these recipes are hand-me-downs

If you’re at this table long enough

I know you’re bound

To hear something extra wild

Unashamed to party foul

Anybody’s welcomed into this house

As long as they got manners and respect in their mouth

I mean it when I say that we got infinite styles

Our ancestors innovated through the tribs and the trials

You heard

Hey mama

You don’t have to work another day

You can buy anything in the store

If you wanna

I know you got used to laying low

You can flex on a mother f*cking hater like Madonna

I remember when they acted petty

We got clap backs ready if they looking some drama

If they want the smoke

Then we’ll turn this whole place into a sauna

I remember every snicker

Every chuckle back then

They’d treat you subhuman all because of your accent

They would do some goofy sh

We just had to take it as our crucifix

That’s the cost of living in the USA

You would say

Okay

But as a child of an immigrant

I got this taste of freedom

Now I’m privy to their privilege

Prices going up

You ain’t never seen it this smooth like a Robituss

Imma keep showing up

Now the people showing love
