By: Cedric McClester Give me your tired Your hungry your poor But now-a-days That don’t apply anymore When it comes to Illegal immigrants Cos some contend They’re here at our expense Are they guest workers Or just neo-slaves Underpaid So big business saves And if you think They’re gonna reinvest Then I suggest You take another guess Is it reform Or really amnesty It’s a question That hasn’t been answered (ya see) And it’s hard to say If it will ever be Given its nature And its history Are they guest workers Or just neo-slaves Underpaid So big business saves And if you think They’re gonna reinvest Then I suggest You take another guess Now the debate Is heating up The law demands We give ‘em up But who’s gonna turn in Their own family I know I wouldn’t But that’s just me Are they guest workers Or just neo-slaves Underpaid So big business saves And if you think They’re gonna reinvest Then I suggest You take another guess I really don’t think We have sumthin to fear There’s already millions Of immigrants here Doin the jobs No one else wants to do They’re being exploited And we are too Now the debate Is heating up The law demands We give ‘em up But who’s gonna turn in Their own family I know I wouldn’t But that’s just me Are they guest workers Or just neo-slaves Underpaid So big business saves And if you think They’re gonna reinvest Then I suggest You take another guess (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
