ORIGINAL LYRICS!
The suns boiling
My backs getting burnt
A young boy sitting on my island in the dirt
I look out wanna fly like a bird
To plush places never seen but often
They say America’s the word
Where they got the nicest cars nicest broads on the earth
They say a man can quadruple his worth
Well then maybe I can get my family up off this curb
But it still hurts every day to hear my momma cry
She got an illness and the doctor said she gonna die
No medical supplies to keep her alive
So I pray that god don’t take her to the sky
Out here we play the lottery too
For a visa so we can try to get to you
My teacher
Told me one day that I was going to be a star
She told I was going to be the one to take us far
Chorus
Through the days through the nights through the fights we struggling
Verse 2
I remember we would stop on the street
In a three wheel buggy trying to get something to eat
Its funny
Out here 100 rupees a lot of money
30 rupees for seeni pan man I’m hungry
get 4 two for my buddy two to fill my belly
that’s 1.20 added up in American money
now you see how we live it aint lovely
but we still happy
play cricket after school with papi
he taught me things
like how to be savy
and though we from the village we can still live lavy
the mentality he instilled in me
was to be stern but to do it humbly
never let another man look and laugh at me
because I’m a king a lion a Sinhalese
come on please
I’m coming up like the zipper on your dungarees
Young delon sting like them bumble bee’s
Chorus
Through the days through the nights through the fights we struggling
Verse 3
So this right here goes out to my people who aint living large
I touched down then I touched ground then I put down heat kinda
Like an el debarge
I’m living the dream
So people who think that they can’t get the cream
Got to make it through the struggle
Make it bubble get the gleam for you trouble
Make the steam in the huddle and beam
I am speaking the truth for the youth
Never been uncouth when I talk to you
Never cheat on these girls always tell the truth like a real man is supposed to do
Could you make it to the top
Even if you got an immigrants pop
Shit I am proof of that
Move beats young D the real truth of rap
The suns boiling
My backs getting burnt
A young boy sitting on my island in the dirt
I look out wanna fly like a bird
To plush places never seen but often
They say America’s the word
Where they got the nicest cars nicest broads on the earth
They say a man can quadruple his worth
Well then maybe I can get my family up off this curb
But it still hurts every day to hear my momma cry
She got an illness and the doctor said she gonna die
No medical supplies to keep her alive
So I pray that god don’t take her to the sky
