[Verse 1]

Every day I wake up here's a win (Here’s a win)
'Cause I got here on a dream (Oh yeah)
I still hear my mother praying every day
I'm an African in New York
You dey see am from my pride and energy
When I dey waka down the street (Waka waka)
You can hear it in my accent when I talk
I’m an African in New York

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York

[Post-Chorus]

I'm gonna make it
I’m going to get it
I’m gonna make it, oh
Gonna get it
I'm gonna make it
I’m gonna make it, oh

[Verse 2]

Nothing go stop me from green paper that I need 
(There's nothing, no)
Mandem go hustle 'til we're free (Hustle, hustle, oh)
I’m even hotter out here when it's getting cold
'Cause back home, I promised not to fold, ayy
When I see my brothers and sisters on the train
We say a lot with just our eyes
We're gonna make it through the rain
'Cause in the end we only got one life (One life)

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York

[Post-Chorus]

I'm gonna make it
I'm going to get it
I'm gonna make it, oh
Gonna get it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it, oh

[Outro]

African man in New York
You can hear it when I talk
You can see it when I walk
Ayy, ayy, ayy
African man in New York
You can hear it when I talk, oh
You can see it when I walk, oh

Intro: Bm   Bm7 


 Em            A             Bm         Bm7 
 I don't take coffee I take tea my dear
 Em          A                Bm   Bm7 
 I like my toast done on one side
 Em            A            Bm            Bm7 
 And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
          Em       A       Bm   Bm7 
 I'm an englishman in New York


 See me walking down fifth avenue
 A walking cane here at my side
 I take it everywhere I walk
 I'm an englishman in New York



 Em        A   Bm           Bm7 
 I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
         Em         A      Em  Em7 
 I'm an englishman in New York
 Em      A     Bm           Bm7 
 I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
         Em         A       Bm   Bm7 
 I'm an englishman in New York



 If, manners maketh man as someone said
 Then he's the hero of the day
 It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
 Be yourself no matter what they say



 Refrain



 D                       A           A7 
 Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
 Bm            Bm7             F# 
 You could end up as the only one
 G                          A 
 Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
      F#                                Bm 
 At night a candle's brighter than the sun


 Takes more than combat gear to make a man
 Takes more than a license for a gun
 Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
 A gentleman will walk but never run


 If, manners maketh man as someone said
 Then he's the hero of the day
 It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
 Be yourself no matter what they say

 Refrain
