=====LYRICS=====
[Humble The Poet]
Told him the grass was greener
with an endless flood of possibilities, Katrina.
watch him drown in debt
land confiscated by the local government
so he flies HIGH in jet plane
plain clothes just exposed him
to the harsh winter of life, and his wife won't know
about the sweat soaked in the bank notes sent home
boy getting grown, he starts to groan
stomachs rumbling, hungry for a better life, now he's stumbling
over foreign phonetics and verb tenses
they laughing at his accent, it's not an accident that
his masters in economics, isn't honoured
most economic for a father to hope his ass in a cab and never bother getting out.
that car or his dreams, memorize the route and collect the fare
it isn't fair, when they say you don't belong here with your long beard and that towel around your head
hear what was said, soak in the hate, can you relate?
life of an immigrant
[Sikh Knowledge]
It was the thing to do
what did she know
taught to follow her Singh, literally beaten to her soul
so tethered to abuse, thinking she free, it's all she know
If Naanak Naam Jahaaj hai, why do angels fly coach?
My Mama was first class, and came in God wisdom with
2 Queens, a disease from a blood transfusion
heard of a Maple Tree, off in the distance
that provided a Maple Leaf, that would pay to heal her illness
Teach your kids to be big thangs, Red Woods and Spruces
It's a double edged sword, this immigration for those who choose it.
On one front you're shuffling bus schedules and facing racists,
People wanting money cuz they sponsored other spouses
On the other front you beat by the same that gives you sustenance
My mama dealt with ALL this and Hepatitis
The B Kind, the happiness, it took a B Line
when the fights broke out, another queen on the way, it made the in laws bounce
that's an extra set of hands, an extra set of grips, and extra set of mitts to hold her ?? it fits
she needed something, something like a message, a message from a provider
She prayed the Sikh way, and learned the Christ from neighbour
and made Ta-set Pacts with the spooks in the sky
to give her a little king to ease the fire in his eyes
so she dropped a Lil'Knowledge like Alzheimers next July
She died of Sclerosis in '96, that's 24 years of being beaten by a system
beaten by a Vilified spouse, also a victim
neglected by Medicare, but never ever ever, ever ever, ever ever Fuckin on Welfare
and that's my Mamma Shuffle Life of an Immigrant
Let if Rain
less
