Lyrics
Dad Jamaican Mom was from Trinidad & Tobago Met in Canada That's where I was placed in the cradle Great white north but my skin is black like a stallion Back then was rallying my 'Migos like I was Quavo Was looking for trouble Acting indecent 'cause I was able But God came through with the covenant like a rainbow Now I find my identity in His Son, Yeshua But I'm still black so I'm stuck with a stack of labels I'm chucking it back to Africa Back before the colonizers sucked it dry like Dracula Black boy joy? We had black king stature, uh Black girl magic? Black queens so spectacular Took us from our land Now spread out across the map It's what? Brazil, USA, The Carribean, even Canada Place to place the faces change, so does the vernacular But when we see each other, just nod, "We Diaspora" What's good? I'm here, you here We are the Diaspora My hood, your mansion Rich or poor, we Diaspora Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) Say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah, I'm from the land, the continent The birth place of the Son of man Now I'm in the west where they distributed my fam A hundred million hebrews on a boat taken straight of the coast Close, but couldn't shake off the ghost Tried to erase our serial but couldn't scrape off the toast Uh, some went over board and tried to float Hoping Abba, the Heavenly Father would throw down a rope Nope, prophecy gotta go exactly how its wrote Scattered around the globe with a chain around our throat Ooh, I be drunk off scripture and garvey quotes It's two fingers to the sin in my heart Oh adios, see the gospel though? I love the good news Letters from apostles always put me in a good mood Spirit of the Son of man in me That's a good tool Running into me the enemy gon' be a footstool, salute What's good? I'm here, you here We are the Diaspora My hood, your mansion Rich or poor, we Diaspora Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) Say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah, one time for the memory of Chadwick The beat drop out, now bring it back, quick! He gave hope to the inner city black kids Showed them a crown, said, "You can really have this" From Toronto to the Philly pad whence Bombay came, we ain't ever really had bliss They tailored a lie for us, that's a fitted cap But we trade it for a crown 'cause we're done with living average What's good? I'm here, you here We are the Diaspora My hood, your mansion Rich or poor, we Diaspora Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) Say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) What's good? I'm here, you here We are the Diaspora My hood, your mansion Rich or poor, we Diaspora Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah) Say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah)
