Try so hard to forget where you've come from Don't you ever regret being the every man? If not for what you were You are nothing If not for what you were You are no one Kill all passion Turn away from everything Kill all passion Burn up your memories Now how do expect To get where you're going If you do not respect The path that you were once on If not for what you were You are nothing If not for what you were You are no one Kill all passion Turn away from everything Kill all passion Burn up your memories What consolation How do you bury all and everyone? What consolation If history be damned No shelter Diaspora mama You cannot run from all your enemies Can't you tell that they are everywhere? Try to deny where you come from And hold fake close to your heart You cannot hide your insecurities You cannot cover up your legacy Turn tail And run from what it means to you Escape is a word nothing more Ah ah No shelter Diaspora Mama You cannot run from all your enemies Can't you tell that they are everywhere? Try to deny where you come from And hold fake close to your heart You cannot hide your insecurities You cannot cover up your legacy Turn tail And run from what it means to you Escape is a word nothing more Diaspora mama...
