Yo this one goes out to all my immigrants, you hear

Live up, don't give up Wait a minute let me set the record straight

You need to listen for a moment or two

Hear the accent, don't get it twisted

My momma didn't raise no fool

Though you think that you got me figured out

When you really haven't got a clue

So take a lesson from this island boy

This coconut may be smarter than you so I say Don't judge me you don't know me

Don't think I'm some small town phony

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes

I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes Learnt my lesson from my humble beginnings

And I wouldn't have it no other way

Became a man in the street of Kingston where

Survival was the art of the day

I choose the best as my main competition

And I'm always on top of my game

So don't be blinded by my race or my gender

'Coz we're really all one in the same so I say Don't judge me you don't know me

Don't think I'm some small town phony

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes

I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes No I won't stop, gotta make it to the top

Hell no i won't stop, aiming for the sweet spot

Powers to the bald heads and the dread locks

Let me make it clear no we won't flop

Got a plan, got to make anyway I can

Putting in the work with my own two hands

Better check it, respect it I'm a man, I'm a West Indian Don't judge me you don't know me

Don't think I'm some small town phony

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes

I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes Don't judge me you don't know me

Don't think I'm some small town phony

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes

I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes

Yeah, yeah, yeah
