Ellis Island

Intro: In the United States, people are not friendly You can find someone that's walking in the street by himself you know? don't even talk you know. You cannot go to the house of someone you do not know, though we are all Americans. Call the police and say why did this guy come to my house and I don't know him? These are different people huh? It's very difficult, I don't know how we are going to be acquainted with this life here Verse 1 (Elite): Nothing made my father more happy I think because of pride he won't ask me Occupied as the time goes past me All he wanted was a minute with his only son How many phone calls did I ignore I know I never call back but I'mma try to more I know you prolly would be proud that I been writing more Me and Voli talkin bout us startin up some kinda tour I know it's hard I see the clock but we could get it back We just have to pick up all the pieces where we left em at This is my moment and I can't afford to blow it I know home is where the heart is but that lasts forever, don't it? Pre-Chorus (Voli) Everybody knows my name back home Can I really leave everything I know The land where the hero's are made Big city bright lights my stage Thanksgiving dinner never felt so cold What good is all the fancy silverware I own I guess king's only die alone Chorus (Elite and Voli) Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Verse 3 (Voli) September wedding politely you asked me to be your best man Just let me get back on my feet come out that head stand I can't afford a tux, too busy paying dues So I declined bad credit I know you ain't approve Like stoled cards, look at this broken bond Once rooted but like tree branches we've grown apart Chasing this dream can't live a life that I'm not proud of Hunger for big change, I need that half dollar Lost moments barely seen my nephew grown up Cuz work is always callin, do I hang the phone up? Boulevard of dreams, full of all the things I wanted But will i be the only one to walk it? Pre-Chorus (Voli) Everybody knows my name back home Can I really leave everything I know The land where the hero's are made Big city bright lights my stage Thanksgiving dinner never felt so cold What good is all the fancy silverware I own I guess king's only die alone Chorus (Elite and Voli) Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Bridge (Elite) And I be trapped between the walls of this path I chose to walk, I chose to walk. aw aw aaaaaw This dream's so vivid, I can't tell the difference between reality and fiction I wish I could make up the time like a beautician tunnel vision, focused but I think there's somethin missin how I miss it? How I miss it... How I miss it Chorus (Elite and Voli) Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? Oh oh oh yeah Do you really wanna go to Ellis Island? (Outro) And uh, we go to work different place, go to work different place, come home late, we don't see one another for maybe two or three weeks. So, it's kind of lonely. But this is the life of America
