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

(Who lef an' go look betta fi dem self an' fi dem family, yuh hear dat)

[Verse 1]
If yuh fail then brush yuh self off
Afta dem tears yah, one day we gon' laugh

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)

[Chorus]
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
Him seh him miss him yaad, him wish him coulda travel now (mmhm, mmhm)
Life of an immigrant

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Life of ah immigrant
You affi smart, yuh affi militant (tant)
Life of an immigrant
You affi stronger than ah elephant
One ah mi dawg dem call mi an' ah tell mi him married now
Him seh him miss him yaad, him wish him coulda travel now (mmhm, mmhm)
Life of ah immigrant

[Verse 3]
You see yuh visa runnin' out
Not even find ah spouse
Nobody fi propose
Have you ah tink dat you suppose
Somebody go expose
Immigration inna di house
Nuh badda fill yuh mind wid doubts
We affi make it out, and millions affi count
Ah nuff people nuh feel right
Family drop out and dem cyah reach
Ah nuff people nuh feel right
Dem cyah go a river or ah one beach (uhh, uhh, yeah)
Life of ah immigrant

[Chorus]
Life of ah immigrant
You affi smart, yuh affi militant (tant)
Life of an immigrant
You affi stronger than ah elephant
One ah mi dawg dem call mi an' ah tell mi him married now
Him seh him miss him yaad, him wish him coulda travel now (mmhm, mmhm)
Life of ah immigrant

[Outro]
Hmm, mi miss yuh sis
