Snow Tha Product, Residente, K’naan, Riz Ahmed - Immigrants We Get the Job Done lyrics

You know, and it gets into this whole
Issue of border security, you know
Who's gonna say that the
Borders are secure? We've
Got the House and the
Senate debating this issue, and it's
It's really astonishing that in a
Country founded by immigrants
"immigrant" has somehow become a
Bad word so
The debate rages on and we continue

And just like that it’s over
We tend to our wounded, we count our dead

Black and white soldiers wonder alike
If this really means freedom

Not yet

I got 1 job, 2 job, 3 when I need them


I got 5 roommates in this one studio
But I never really see them
And we all came America trying to get
A lap dance from Lady Freedom
But now Lady Liberty is acting like
Hilary Banks with a pre-nup
Man, I was brave, sailing on graves
Don’t think I didn’t notice those
Tombstones disguised as waves
I’m no dummy, here is something funny
You can be an immigrant
Without risking your lives
Or crossing these borders
With thrifty supplies
All you got to do is see
The world with new eyes

Immigrants, we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come
Immigrants, we get the job done

It’s a hard line when you’re an import
Baby boy, it's hard times
When you ain't sent for
Racists feed the belly of the beast
With they pitchforks, rich chores
Done by the people that get ignored
Ya se armó ya se despertaron
It’s a whole awakening
La alarma ya sonó hace rato
Los que quieren buscan
Pero nos apodan como vagos
We are the same ones hustling on every level
Ten los datos walk a mile in our shoes
Abróchense los zapatos
I been scoping ya dudes
Ya’ll ain't been working like I do
I'll outwork you, it hurts you
You claim I’m stealing jobs though
Peter Piper claimed he picked them
He just underpaid Pablo
But there ain't a paper trail when
You living in the shadows
We're America's ghost writers
The credit's only borrowed
It’s a matter of time before
The checks all come but

Immigrants, we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come
Immigrants, we get the job not yet

The credit is only borrowed
It’s America's ghost writers
The credit's only borrowed
It’s America's ghost writers
America's ghost writers
America's ghost writers
The credit's only borrow-borrowed
It’s Americas ghost writers
A credit is only borrowed
It’s Americas ghost writers
A credit is only borrowed
It’s Americas ghost writers
A credit is only borrowed it's

Immigrants, we get the job done

Ay yo aye, immigrants we don’t like that
Na they don’t play British
Empire strikes back
They beating us like 808’s and high hats
At our own game of invasion
But this ain't Iraq
Who these fugees what did they do for me
But contribute new dreams
Taxes and tools, swagger and food to eat
Cool, they flee war zones
But the problem ain't ours
Even if our bombs landed on
Them like the Mayflower
Buckingham Palace or Capitol Hill
Blood of my ancestors had that all built
It's the ink you print on your dollar bill
Oil you spill thin red line on the flag
You hoist when you kill
But still we just say "look how far I come"
Hindustan, Pakistan, to London
To a galaxy far from their ignorance cos-

Immigrants, we get the job done

Por tierra o por agua identidad falsa
Brincamos muros o flotamos en balsas
La peleamos como Sandino en Nicaragua
Somos como las plantas que crecen sin agua
Sin pasaporte Americano
Porque La mitad de gringolandia
Es terreno mexicano
Hay que ser bien hijo e puta
Nosotros Les Sembramos el árbol y
Ellos se comen la fruta
Somos los que cruzaron
Aquí vinimos a buscar el oro que nos robaron
Tenemos mas trucos que la policía secreta
Metimos la casa completa en una maleta
Con un pico, una pala y un rastrillo
Te construimos un castillo
Como es que dice el coro cabrón?

Immigrants, we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come
Immigrants, we get the job done

Look how far I come look how far I come
Look how far I come
Immigrants, we get the job done
