歌曲歌詞
Yeah now I'm a rockstar
It started with my imagination
Used to gaze at the twins before the birds hit 'em
Daydream about the God my axe my Excalibur
A man who just saw the future beyond the dishwater
Yeah cab driver used to gyspy cab rider
But she stuck with me when I had nothing
So I had to wife her
And I used write these thoughts on a black and
White notebook
Haitian experience now I'm a page in a book
I'm a Haitian Haitian
When I landed in America 'Merica
I got myself a green card green card
Mamma say if I ever break the law
They gone send me back home
This is my Haitian experience
First stop out in England England
Immigration send me back to Washington Washington
Said I need a visa if I wanted to be
In the United Kingdom
I pray that the Queen of Buckingham is listening
Your Highness I got a palace out
In Port Au Prince
I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land
But I can't go back and see my people
In the ticks
I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card worked
Seven jobs in America
Then he came and got me from Haiti told me
I had one chance
To make it in America
In the legal Valley and looking for work
In Manhattan in America
My papa was a Haitian Haitian
He got to America 'Merica
On a six month visa visa
When the visa expired he went underground
Like rats in the sewer
This is the Haitian experience
Running from the Immigration Interrogation
But his vision was his chosen
How you gon' get us to New York
Absolute lost and at sea and never see the airport
Yeah I pray that the President is up there listening
Your Excellence I got a palace out in Port Au Prince
I got a hundred acres and a whole lotta land
So we go move from detention we go we build the land
I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card
Worked seven jobs in America
Then he came and got me from Haiti
Told me I had one chance
To make it in America
So I learned to play guitar with dreams
Of becoming a rock star
In America
I'm a Haitian
I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card worked
Seven jobs in America
Then he came and got me from Haiti told me
I had one chance
To make it in America
In the legal Valley and looking for work
In Manhattan in America
What we gone do right now is we gone go back
Way back
To what I call Lassie
The roots the Haitian experience
Let's go
Look in her eyes she will survive
She smiles like she's in love
She's 21 she lost her feeding arms
But she aingt lose her soul dancing outta control
Like Angelina Ballerina
Like Angelina Ballerina
Like Angelina Ballerina
Na na na na na na na na
Yes I'm a Haitian in America
When papa first got his green card
Worked seven jobs in America
Then he came and got me from Haiti told me
I had one chance
To make it in America
In the legal Valley and looking for work
In Manhattan in America
Man I just got on a plane leaving Haiti
And I landed in Brooklyn New York City Cooney Island
Marlboro Projects man in projects
It's so rough to blend in
I learned to how to rock sing dance pop
Loc whatever it took
Yeah that's my dad a Haitian living in America
