lirik lagu somi (east african) – alien
[verse 1]
i don’t drink coffee, i take tea my dear
some extra rice, please, on the side
and you can hear it in my accent when i talk
i’m an african in new york
[verse 2]
see me walking down one sixteen
dried fish and cowry tableside
there’s pride and beauty in my walk
i’m an african in new york
[chorus]
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an african in new york
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an african in new york
[verse 3]
i drive my taxi down grand avenues
they always ask me where i’m from
is it that sad place that’s in the news?
and is that the reason why i’ve come?
[chorus]
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an african in new york
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an african in new york
[bridge]
modesty, propriety
i’m not the only one
gentleness, sobriety
shines brighter than the sun
[verse 4]
“fais comme chez toi sans oublier…”, they said
even though you’re here to stay
it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
be yourself no matter what they say
[chorus]
i’m an african
i’m an african
i’m an african
