Lyrics Immigrant Child - TEYA

I grew up in a country where no one speaks my soul
Didn't say a word until I knew enough to show
They made me hustle, work myself to the bone
And then they gave me the feeling that I never will belong

Mock my sound and mock my name
Teach me the rules to your privilege game
Keep me small and full of shame
Then you tell me I must be insane

I'm an immigrant child with an immigrant side
And an immigrant mind, so finally say my name right
I am too tired of you taking my pride
So look into my eyes and finally say my name right

Say my name right, say my name right
Say my name right, finally say my name right

My dad looks like a mafia boss but he's the kindest man
They look down on my mum because they just don't understand
I got used to sucking up and living in this world
But when it comes to both of them then nothing goes unheard

I'm an immigrant child with an immigrant side
And an immigrant mind, so finally say my name right
I am too tired of you taking my pride
So look into my eyes and finally say my name right

Say my name right, say my name right
Say my name right, finally say my name right
Say my name right, say my name right
Say my name right, finally say my name right

Why did I have to become somebody just to earn a little respect?
I have worked my ass off just so they would finally give a crap
And what about the little boys and girls
That are where I once have been

Will they also say their name wrong
Make 'em think they're not worth anything?
When I was a child I was more than an immigrant
(Immigrant child)

Ceo svet je moj, nema više granica
(Immigrant child)
