Analysis of Child of Immigrants
This is a street
where I grew older
A place where you always hear a beat
And life grew colder
a hope for tomorrow
Inside you feel the binds
of the ghetto sorrow
Grandma raised me
becasue Mami and Papi had to work
Nothing I knew was true
yet I keep my smirk
I read and write
Learn words of the white
I belive I can win
Go some where diffrent from where I've been
The world is ours
That don't change because of native shores.
