Make it big, they say  
A dream trusted upon every immigrant  
Moving to a place that's never quite home  
An endless game we start to play  
Capitalism doesn't sway  
  
Make it big, they say  
Save millions on your morning coffee  
Just look right, stay meek and lean in  
Work those side hustles and make bank  
If Mark can do it so can you  
  
Make it big, they say  
You'll know when you have a house and a car  
Other mammals, rooms filled with toy camels  
When your plates are void of carbs excess  
And you can zip up that size zero dress  
  
We shut their voices out  
Our existence is beautiful  
Our worth is inherent  
Our families are chosen  
We eat the food that fills our souls  
Wear the clothes that embrace our curves  
Make it big, we say.
