Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

You know, and it gets into this whole issue of border security,
 You know,
 Who's gonna say that the borders are secure?
 We've got the House and the Senate debating this issue, and it's...
 It's really astonishing that in a country founded by immigrants,
 "Immigrant" has somehow become a bad word.
 So the debate rages on and we continue...
 And just like that it's over, we tend to our wounded, we count our dead
 Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom...
 Not yet
 I got 1 job, 2 jobs, 3 when I need them
 I got 5 roommates in this one studio but I never really see them
 And we all came America trying to get a lap dance from lady freedom
 But now lady liberty is acting like Hillary Banks with a pre-nup
 Man I was brave sailing on graves
 Don't think I didn't notice those tombstones disguised as waves
 I'm no dummy,
 Here is something funny you can be an immigrant without risking your lives
 Or crossing these boarders with thrifty supplies
 All you got to do is see the world with new eyes
 Immigrants
 We get the job done
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 We get the job done
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 Immigrants
 We get the job done
 It's a hard line when you're an import
 Baby boy it's hard times
 When you ain't sent for
 Racist feed the belly of the beast
 With they pitchforks, rich chores
 Done by the people that get ignored
 Ya se armó
 Ya se despertaron
 It's a whole awakening
 La alarma ya sonó hace rato
 Los que quieren buscan
 Pero nos apodan como vagos
 We are the same ones
 Hustling on every level
 Ten los datos
 Walk a mile in our shoes
 Abróchense los zapatos
 I been scoping ya dudes, ya'll ain't been working like I do
 I'll outwork you, it hurts you
 You claim I'm stealing jobs though
 Peter Piper claimed he picked them, he just underpaid Pablo
 But there ain't a paper trail when you living in the shadows
 We're America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrowed
 It's a matter of time before the checks all come
 But...
 Immigrants, we get the job done
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 We get the job done
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 Look how far I come
 Immigrants, we get the job (Not yet)
 The credit is only borrowed
 It's America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrowed
 It's America's ghost writers
 America's ghost writers
 America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrow-borrowed
 It's Americas ghost writers, a credit is only borrowed
 It's Americas ghost writers, a credit is only borrowed
 It's Americas ghost writers, a credit is only borrowed
 It's
 Immigrants, we get the job done
 Ay yo aye, immigrants we don't like that
 Na they don't play British empire strikes back
 They beating us like 808's and high hats
 At our own game of invasion, but this ain't Iraq
 Who these fugees what did they do for me
 But contribute new dreams
 Taxes and tools, swagger and food to eat
 Cool, they flee war zones, but the problem ain't ours
 Even if our bombs landed on them like the Mayflower
 Buckingham Palace or Capitol Hill
 Blood of my ancestors had that all built
 It's the ink you print on your dollar bill, oil you spill
 Thin red lines on the flag you hoist when you kill
 But still we just say "look how far I come"
 Hindustan, Pakistan, to London
 To a galaxy far from their ignorance
 Cos
 Immigrants, we get the job done
 Por tierra o por agua
 Identidad falsa
 Brincamos muros o flotamos en balsas
 La peleamos como Sandino en Nicaragua
 Somos como las plantas que crecen sin agua
 Sin pasaporte americano
 Porque La mitad de gringolandia Es terreno mexicano
 Hay que ser bien hijo e puta
 Nosotros Les Sembramos el árbol y ellos se comen la fruta
 Somos los que cruzaron
 Aquí vinimos a buscar el oro que nos robaron
 Tenemos mas trucos que la policía secreta
 Metimos la casa completa en una maleta
 Con un pico, una pala
 Y un rastrillo
 Te construimos un castillo
 Como es que dice el coro cabrón?
