Sting - African In New York Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day I wake up here's a win (Here’s a win)
'Cause I got here on a dream (Oh yeah)
I still hear my mother praying every day
I'm an African in New York
You dey see am from my pride and energy
When I dey waka down the street (Waka waka)
You can hear it in my accent when I talk
I’m an African in New York

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York

[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna make it
I’m going to get it
I’m gonna make it, oh
Gonna get it
I'm gonna make it
I’m gonna make it, oh

[Verse 2]
Nothing go stop me from green paper that I need (There's nothing, no)
Mandem go hustle 'til we're free (Hustle, hustle, oh)
I’m even hotter out here when it's getting cold
'Cause back home, I promised not to fold, ayy
When I see my brothers and sisters on the train
We say a lot with just our eyes
We're gonna make it through the rain
'Cause in the end we only got one life (One life)
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York

[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna make it
I'm going to get it
I'm gonna make it, oh
Gonna get it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it, oh

[Outro]
African man in New York
You can hear it when I talk
You can see it when I walk
Ayy, ayy, ayy
African man in New York
You can hear it when I talk, oh
You can see it when I walk, oh
