Élite, Voli Contra - Ellis Island lyrics

In the United States, people are not friendly
You can find someone that's
Walking in the street
By himself you know? don't even talk
You know you cannot go to the house
Of someone you do not know, though
We are all Americans call the police and say
Why did this guy come to my
House and I don't know him? These are
Different people huh? It's very difficult
I don't know how we are going to
Be acquainted with this life here

Nothing made my father more happy
I think because of pride he won't ask me
Occupied as the time goes past me
All he wanted was a minute with his only son
How many phone calls did I ignore
I know I never call back
But, I'mma try to more
I know you prolly would be proud
That I been writing more
Me and Voli talkin bout us
Startin up some kinda tour
I know it's hard I see the clock
But we could get it back
We just have to pick up all the
Pieces where we left em at
This is my moment and I
Can't afford to blow it
I know home is where the heart
Is but that lasts forever, don't it?

Everybody knows my name back home
Can I really leave everything I know
The land where the hero's are made
Big city bright lights my stage
Thanksgiving dinner never felt so cold
What good is all the fancy silverware I own
I guess king's only die alone

Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?

September wedding politely you asked me
To be your best man
Just let me get back on my
Feet come out that head stand
I can't afford a tux, too busy paying dues
So I declined bad credit I
Know you ain't approve
Like stoled cards, look at this broken bond
Once rooted but like tree
Branches we've grown apart
Chasing this dream can't live a life
That I'm not proud of hunger for big change
I need that half dollar
Lost moments barely seen my nephew grown up
Cuz work is always callin
Do I hang the phone up? Boulevard of dreams
Full of all the things I wanted
But will i be the only one to walk it?

Everybody knows my name back home
Can I really leave everything I know
The land where the hero's are made
Big city bright lights my stage
Thanksgiving dinner never felt so cold
What good is all the fancy silverware I own
I guess king's only die alone

Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?

And I be trapped between the walls of
This path I chose to walk
I chose to walk aw aw aaaaaw
This dream's so vivid
I can't tell the difference between
Reality and fiction I
Wish I could make up the time
Like a beautician tunnel vision
Focused but I think there's somethin
Missin how I miss
It? How I miss it how I miss it

Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?
Oh oh oh yeah
Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island?

And uh, we go to work different
Place, go to work different place, come home
Late, we don't see one another for
Maybe two or three weeks so
It's kind of lonely but this
Is the life of America
