Fam Jam (fe Sum Immigrins) Lyrics - Flying Colours - Shad

*I'm proud of my nephew* 

Yeah 

*I'm proud of my nephew, my niece* 

Yeah, well, no, mostly the nephew, this is focusing on the nephew 

*Especially the one in Toronto* 

Yeah, this is the one - 

From donated clothes, to caps and gowns 

It's a little shout to my black and brown 

Folks that know the game, not in class to clown 

Had the funny accent, look who's laughing now 

See Samir came here to grind, and he slaved at 

Every minimum wage job, but he saved that 

Brought his sis here on scholarship to make stacks 

Working as a surgeon she bought a whip, and payed cash 

No time to whine, we just face facts 

Lets fit 6 in the back and lets take that 

To the best restaurants, make reservations 

Since we out here, since they made reservations for 

First Nations and they never made reparations 

The Natives probably relate more to immigration 

So just for y'all too, and I can't forget the Haitians 

Here for an education, its a celebration

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Not bad huh, for some immigrants 

To the guys that draw lines and make the borders real 

But then bend the rules when there's more to drill 

Don't turn away the stateless, think of the waste 

If one in 3 refugees is a Lauryn Hill 

Come along way, you can move forward still 

From the poorest to up by Lawrence or Forest Hill 

But more than that, skrillery banks just chill 

Make a home, just build in a zone, less ill 

In a place to be safe, few found an escape route 

Where we come from, so we grateful to Jesus 

And now the top is the next stop, this drop 

Oughtta have my Aunts on the guest spot, red hot 

I'm talking going from sweatshops to tech stocks 

Doctors Without Borders, with dreadlocks 

We quoting S.Dot Carter on Otis 

Turns out some fresh off the boat kid wrote this 

...Not bad

Check it out 

Now when you're Third World born, but First World formed 

Sometimes you feel pride, sometimes you feel torn 

See my Mother's tongue is not what they speak where my Mother's from 

She moved to London with her husband when their son was 1 

And one time after Family Ties, I turned on the news and saw my family die 

Pops said there's murder in the motherland 

Things about colonialism I didn't understand 

All the things that shape a man in his mind state; 

A community income, and crime rate 

If times change, why my people still in dire straits 

If it's a big world, show me where's my place 

In it, I had to talk to Pops for a minute 

He said, "Shad, this world wasn't home to begin with 

Just keep defending the oppressed, take steps 

And keep rapping, you might just be the best" 

Well, yes
