TEYA - Immigrant Child Lyrics



TEYA - Immigrant Child Lyrics




I grew up in a country where no one
Speaks my soul
Didn't say a word until I knew enough to
Show
They made me hustle, work myself to the
Bone
Then they gave me the feeling that I never
Will belong

Mock my sound and mock my name
Teach me the rules to your privilege game
Keep me small and full of shame
Then you tell me I must be insane

I'm an immigrant child
With an immigrant side
And an immigrant mind
So finally say my name right
I am too tired
Of you taking my pride
So look into my eyes
And finally say my name right

Say my name right
Say my name right
Say my name right
Finally say my name right

My dad looks like a mafia boss
But he's the kindest man and
They look down on my mum
Because they just don't understand
I got used to sucking up and living in this
World
But when it comes to both of them then
Nothing goes unheard


I'm an immigrant child
With an immigrant side
And an immigrant mind
So finally say my name right
I am too tired
Of you taking my pride
So look into my eyes
And finally say my name right

Say my name right
Say my name right
Say my name right
Finally say my name right
Say my name right
Say my name right
Say my name right
Finally say my name right

Why did I have to become somebody just
To earn a little respect
I have worked my ass off just so they
Would finally give a crap
And what about the little boys and girls
That are where I once have been
Will they also say their name wrong, make
'em think they're not worth anything
When I was a child I was more than an
Immigrant
Immigrant child
Ceo svet je naš, nema više granica
Immigrant child
