shonasta - where i'm from lyrics

[pre+chorus]
i’m just try’na find me a job (job)
shouldn’t matter where i’m from (shouldn’t matter where i’m from)
do i want benefits? nah (nah)
but to work, it matters where i’m from (where i’m from)
i help to build a better home (home)
all they focus on is where i’m from (where i’m from)
we been friends for ten years
now i hear your parents want me gone to where i’m from. well

[chorus]
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here
and the way you treat me differently is unfair
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here
and the way you treat me differently is unfair

[verse 1]
the world war never ended
still we’re taking fire from the ones we befriended
claim they have a warrant for harassment
they’re paranoid. they ain’t looking at the facts. rather
they manipulate the truth and craft stories
where it’s looking like the villain of the whole thing is you
i have brothers and sisters in the states
who did nothing just to lose their lives to people wearing blue
and i know muslim people suffer too
held back for questions at the airport when you’re passing through
labelled as a terrorist when that’s sh+t that you wouldn’t do
targeted in france for wearing garments that are cultural
why the hate? fear is the only reason
i fear people saying trump is to believe in
farage had his way. now we’re leaving
the european union. tell me what did we achieve then?

[verse 2]
martin luther didn’t die for this
rosa parks, mother bad b+tch
michael jackson further spread the message
these differences of ours should be accepted
and i don’t mean to preach
but this paradise that they envisioned is within our reach
but what can i do to make a difference?
yeah i doubted too but i got you to listen
people don’t always act but they’re thinking
tip of the iceberg and we ain’t sinking
they say it’s love that will set you free
some are here ’cause through love two races conceived
and though it’s hard, they’ll follow if we take the lead
stick to the grind and eventually we’ll make ’em see
that we are not the enemy
and everyone to everybody else will say you’re kin to me. jeez!

[bridge]
i’m just try’na find me a job (whoa)
shouldn’t matter where i’m from (yeah, yeah)
do i want benefits? nah (no)
but to work, it matters where i’m from (na+na+na+na+na+na+na, ah)
i help to build a better home (whoa)
all they focus on is where i’m from (yeah, yeah)
we been friends for ten years (no)
now i hear your parents want me gone to where i’m from. well (whoa, whoa, i’m not from here)

[chorus]
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here (no i’m not from here)
i’m not from here but i belong here
and the way you treat me differently is unfair
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here
i’m not from here but i belong here
and the way you treat me differently is unfair
