D'Valents - From Where to Eternity 17: 42

FROM WHERE TO ETERNITY 17:42 (SKIT)

Excuse me, let me tell you something
When America opened the floodgates,
and let all us Italians in
What do you think they were doing it all for?
Because they were trying to save us from poverty?
No, they did it because they needed us
They needed us to build their cities, dig their subways,
and to make em' richer
The Carnegies, The Rockafeller's, they needed worker bee's
and there the Valenti were
But the Valenti's didn't wanna swarm around their hive
and lose who they were
They wanted to stay Italian, preserve the things
That meant something to them,
Honor, family, loyalty, and language
