Alien

Alien - Gil Scott-Heron

Midnight near the border trying to cross the Rio Grande

Runnin' with coyotes to where the streets are paved with gold

You're diving underwater when you hear the helicopters

Knowing it's all been less than worthless if you run into patrols

Hiding in the shadows so scared that you want to scream

But you dare not make a sound

If you want to hold on to your dreams

Hold on

Though it may not be a lot but

Hold on

Cause you know it's all you got

Hold on

Hold on

You have got to hold on to your dreams

City of the Angels with its bright light fascination

Only adds to the confusion that your mind must now endure

The gringos take advantage when they know that you're illegal

Bot you void la policía like a plague that can't be cured

Paying la mordida you find out just what pollo means

But you dare not file complaints if you want to hold on to your dreams

Hold on

Though it may not be a lot you but

Hold on

Cause you know it's all you got

Hold on

You have got to hold on to your dreams

Hold on

Hold on

You have got to hold on to your dreams

Hold on

Though it may not be a lot

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on

Though it may not be a lot you but

Hold on

Cause you know it's all you got

Hold on

You have got to hold on

Though it may not be a lot you but

Hold on

Cause you know it's all you got

Hold on
