A song made by Tunde Ademuyiwa
Yeah yeah
From across the ocean
To the land of opportunity oh
I remember mama tears when I dey pack my bag
She say "my pikin go make am, go chase your dreams"
Left my whole family, everything I know
Now I dey hustle for this place wey cold
They no fit understand my accent when I speak
But I no send, I get fire for inside
Working two jobs, sending money back home
Every dollar na sacrifice, I no dey play
I'm an immigrant, chasing greatness
From nothing to something, no stopping me
I carry my culture, my people, my pride
America land of dreams, I go rise
I'm an immigrant, building my legacy
No matter the struggle, I go shine bright
For my family back home, I go make am
This na my story, watch me take flight
Sometimes I miss the jollof and the suya
The laughter of my people, the vibe of my city
But I remember why I came to this place
To give my family better, to change our story
They see my skin and think they know my tale
But I get degrees, ambition, and fire
I no be just immigrant, I be winner
From Lagos to New York, I dey conquer
I'm an immigrant, chasing greatness
From nothing to something, no stopping me
I carry my culture, my people, my pride
America land of dreams, I go rise
I'm an immigrant, building my legacy
No matter the struggle, I go shine bright
For my family back home, I go make am
This na my story, watch me take flight
We dey here oh
Immigrant power
No stopping us
E choke!
