el siege_zw - identity lyrics
jamaican intro
[verse 1]
i finna take it back to our roots, where it started
the royal race of blacks before we became targets
exploited for our land and labor by racist tyrants
inhumane treatment shows they saw us no better than primates
tears come to my eyes when i think about what we’ve accomplished
some tears of joy but mostly sorrow cause they’ve abolished
our culture and beliefs, now people stay in just to polish
accents on tv, now tell me how will we flourish
when instead of being og we’re tryna imitate the foreign
way of living life, i swear this sh+t’s a sad story
cause we’re caught up in illusions of freedom and false glory
hate to put it, but that’s just the way it was told to me, now i’m woke, justice for all is starting to sound corny
but i’m on a different mission, won’t address at this moment
but it’s bout the resurrection of our pride and lost glory, let me get deeper in depth, got problems?
leave them in the comments
[chorus]
where do we go from here?
where do we go from here?
where do you go from here when you realize that life really ain’t fair?
where do we go from here?(where do we go)
where do we go from here(where do we go)
where do we go from here ,degradation of our culture man it really ain’t fair
[verse 2]
ask yourself. why do we always feel inferior?
whatever it is.it’s deeply rooted in our interior
they say that we’re free but honestly i don’t believe in it
your mind is in chains and their systems stop you from seeing it
why the h+ll’s a black man always a victim??
make you think that having melanin’s a curse but no it isn’t
maybe if i spoke english real well they’d start to embrace me
african culture’s way too degrading and europe’s fancy
oh god
that’s the typa mindset i’m working on changing
wanna bring back the love and virtues from our own tradition
and package them in a fancy manner that’ll attract my generation
and save them from westernisation that plagues the black nation
dont get me wrong!!
i ain’t racist, im just mad at the system
that’s got my people k!lling each other
for xenophobic reasons
it’s like. they gave us guns and stepped away, to watch from a distance
gave us all the tools we needed to fuel our destruction
[chorus]
where do we go from here?
where do we go from here?
where do you go from here when you realise that life really ain’t fair?
where do we go from here?(where do we go)
where do we go from here(where do we go)
where do we go from here ,degradation of our culture man it really ain’t fair
