Elite - Ellis Island Feat. Voli lyrics

rate me

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 AmericaExplain
