Life of an Immigrant Lyrics by Lucca DL

2021

[Chorus]
Ey, this the life of an immigrant
Yeah, just the life of an immigrant
Uh, it is the life of an immigrant
Ey, just the life of an immigrant, uh, uh
[Post-Chorus]
Take a step in our shoes, tell me where you stand
Does it mean you’re different if you’re just a little tan
Been so much division, and it’s hard to understand
So I’m hopin in the future everybody’s holdin hands
Just the life of an immigrant
[Verse 1]
I’m representing Brazil
I came to get an education
And contribute as well
But can I stay, it’s a really tricky path
Gotta pay a thousand dollars
If you even wanna ask
And that’s only for a chance at a yеs, kinda rough
So now if I’m not selected, thеn I’ll H1B, outta luck
Funny, Here I fill out forms and say I’m latin or sumn
But then when I’m back in Brazil, I don’t feel latin enough
And man it’s tough
[JFK Speech]
We realize that we are the descendants of forty million people
Who left other countries, other familiar scenes
To come here to the United States to build a new life
And make a new opportunity for themselves and their children
I think it is nor a burden, but a privilege
[Pre-Chorus]
That’s what it’s like to climb
On borrowed time
Just hopin that the stars align
Show me a sign (show me a sign), a sign
Afraid I’ll find that I lost what I left behind
[Chorus]
Ey, this the life of an immigrant
Yeah, just the life of an immigrant
Uh, it is the life of an immigrant
Ey, just the life of an immigrant, uh, uh
[Post-Chorus]
Take a step in our shoes, tell me where you stand
Does it mean you’re different if you’re just a little tan
Been so much division, and it’s hard to understand
So I’m hopin in the future everybody’s holdin hands
Just the life of an immigrant
[Verse 2]
I watch soccer
And all my family uses WhatsApp
Momma bustin out the sandal if I talk back
Heavy accents, “Lucca what you call that?”
But lots of positives to balance out the drawbacks
All my food is seasoned
My homies switch the languages to keep a secret
Warm hospitality with every greetin
But if the weather’s chilly then you know I’m freezin
[Verse 3]
Man, I don’t know what to say
Então mudei pro português
Se vocês tão entendendo, é porque é pra vocês
Sinto falta de São Paulo, foi difícil mas fiquei
Sempre foi um sonho meu, mas desse eu nao acordei
I still got some goals to chase, I still got some somethin to prove
Gotta put on for my country, gotta get us on the news
Know there’s obstacles I face, but I know I know I’m gettin through
Really love the USA, really wish it loved me too
[Verse 4]
This is the American Dream
It’s what the founding fathers wanted when they finally broke free
Some diversity of thought, could make us stronger indeed
And it’ll pay in major ways if you’re just patient to see
Oh, jeez, so man listen to me
I’m not tryna take your job
Tryna pay my taxes and contribute to the squad
All I’m really asking is to give us a chance
We all seek where we belong but you were born there in advance
[Obama speech]
It's really important for us to remember our history
It's easy, sometimes, for the discussion to take on a feeling of "us versus them"
And, when that happens, a lot of folks forget that most of us used to be them
We forget that
[Pre-Chorus]
That’s what it’s like to climb
On borrowed time
Just hopin that the stars align
Show me a sign, a sign
Afraid I’ll find that I lost what I left behind
