Yo this one goes out to all my immigrants, you hear
|
Live up, don't give up
|
Wait a minute let me set the record straight
|
You need to listen for a moment or two.
|
Hear the accent, don't get it twisted
|
My momma didn't raise no fool.
|
Though you think that you got me figured out
|
When you really haven't got a clue.
|
So take a lesson from this island boy
|
This coconut may be smarter than you.
|
So i say
|
|
Don't judge me
|
You dont know me
|
Don't think I'm some small town phony
|
Got nothing, up on me
|
You ain't walking in my shoes
|
I'm just one out of many
|
Hailin from a third-world country
|
Got nothing, up on me
|
You ain't walking in my shoes
|
Learnt my lesson from my humble beginnings
|
And I wouldn't have it no other way.
|
Became a man in the street of Kingston where
|
Survival was the art of the day.
|
I choose the best as my main competition
|
And I'm always on top of my game.
|
So don't be blinded by my race or my gender
|
Coz we're realy all one in the same
|
So I say
|
|
Don't judge me
|
You dont know me
|
Don't think I'm some small town phony
|
Got nothing, up on me
|
You ain't walking in my shoes
|
I'm just one out of many
|
Hailin from a third world country
|
Got nothing, up on me
|
You ain't walking in my shoes
|
No I won't stop,
|
Gotta make it to the top.
|
Hell no i won't stop,
|
Aimin for the sweet spot.
|
Powers to the bald heads and the dread locks
|
Let me make it clear
|
No we won't flop.
|
Got a plan, got to make anyway I can
|
Putting in the work with my own two hands.
|
Better check it, respect it
|
I'm a man, i'm a West Indian
|
|
Don't judge me
|
You dont know me
|
Don't think I'm some small town phony
|
Got nothing, up on me
|
You ain't walking in my shoes
|
I'm just one out of many
|
Hailin from a third world country
|
Got nothing, up on me
|
You ain't walking in my shoes
|
