lyrics

ESCUCHA BIEN LO QUE TE DIGO
NO SE PORQUE NO QUIERES SER MI AMIGO
VINE A ESTA TIERRA PA’ TRABAJAR
MAS SINEMBARGO TU ME QUIERES DESPLAZAR
MALAS SEMILLAS HAY EN TODOS LADOS
PORQUE PAGAN EL PRECIO SIEMPRE LOS HONRADOS?
YO NO TE PIDO TU CARIDAD
YO SOLO QUIERO UNA OPORTUNIDAD

IT’S AN IMMIGRANT NATION
WE LIVE IN AN IMMIGRANT NATION
I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY
SO DON’T YOU PUT THE BLAME ON ME

NO QUIERO AQUI UN MALENTENDIDO
TENGO ESPERANZA DE QUE
TODO AUN NO SE HA PERDIDO
BUSQUEMOS JUNTOS UNA SOLUCION
TRABAJANDO UNIDOS
PARA CONVIVIR EN COMPRENSION
MI GENTE TIENE MUCHO QUE OFRECERTE
SI TU QUISIERAS YO PUEDO SER TU PANA FUERTE
YO NO TE PIDO TU CARIDAD
YO SOLO QUIERO UNA OPORTUNIDAD

IT’S AN IMMIGRANT NATION…

YOU KNOW WELL WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
‘CAUSE YOUR OWN PEOPLE
THEY HAD TO TAKE THE SAME ROUTE
I’M NOT ASKING FOR YOUR CHARITY,
ALL I WANT IS OPPORTUNITY

IT’S AN IMMIGRANT NATION
WE LIVE IN AN IMMIGRANT NATION
I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY
SO DON’T YOU PUT THE BLAME ON ME
