Bisade Ologunde - Let My People Stay lyrics

Everyone is an immigrant We all know who owns the land Your fathers too were once like me Everyone's searching for a good life Some came long long ago Some came just yesterday For some it was a short walk, others journeyed afar Everyone's looking for a good life Chorus: Hey! Let my – Amnesty Let my – Amnesty Let my people stay I'm not a criminal I'm not a burden Why do you want to throw me out? I work hard for my peanuts Everyone's hoping for a good life My cheap labor sustains your good life Yet I never complain Even if you own a thousand beds; you can only sleep on one at a time Everyone's looking for a good life Chorus: Hey! Let my – Amnesty ….. You climbed the ladder; now you want to break it Making it harder for others to make it Your ancestors too toiled for you Everyone's looking for a good life I'm just a victim of the politics Searching for the pastures Sacrificing for my off springs Everyone's seeking for a good life Chorus: Hey! Let my – Amnesty ….. Inevitable, inevitable When shall you fall thou boundaries God created one earth, not countries Surely someday all boundaries shall fall Inevitable, Inevitable ….. Oluwa lo da ile, ati ekun re, aye ati awon to tedo sori re Illegal ke? Ki lo nje be? Laye! Se lori ile yi? Ti Oluwa da? E ma so bee mo. When he made earth, he made no boundaries One earth, One human race Ibi gbogbo ni ile! Chorus: Hey! Let my – Amnesty ….. One earth… One human race… I'm not illegal I'm me… I'm no alien… I'm human like you I'm I from Mars?… I'm I?
