One Lucky Immigrant
Get a mortgage
Pay all my taxes
Take no benefits
Get all the blames
I am one lucky immigrant
Work my socks off not for a grant
Hold my job but people grunt
See nothing to what I have done
I am one lucky immigrant
Have a family that means grand
Came broke and come to the top
Make the country home
Take the oath
I am one lucky immigrant
Don’t do drugs, say no to gangs
Got kicks on my head
Being stopped for my skin
Still I am one lucky immigrant
They want us out
These said, those say
Damn easy jump on the bandwagon
Whatever it is doesn’t matter
Immigrants and all that matter
I’m not any bankers
But I could get in danger
Some want to show us some manner
Though we suppose to teach them the manner
Still, I feel like one lucky immigrant
